being Canadian - our conversation with Roberto from Mexico

The previous 2 videos show how caring and charitable Canadians are. Perhaps because all of us except the First Nations arrived here within the last couple of hundred years. Some because of political or religious persecution but many more for the economic and lifestyle opportunity Canada represented.
In the last few months some of the nicest, hardest working people we met were recent immigrants, we have a large country and if our government bureaucracy is so poorly maneged that in 4 years they are not able to clear a back log of 9,000 refugee claimant, that's no reason to punish all the people of those countries.
If the First Nations had visa requirements a few hundred years ago..
Mexico provides Canada with the most refugee claimants, with the number almost tripling to more than 9,400 since 2005, said the Immigration Department. The Czech Republic ranks second with nearly 3,000 refugee claims filed since the visa requirement for visitors from that country was lifted in October 2007.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the government introduced the requirement to stem a surge in refugee claims by visitors from those countries. Kenney said "economic immigrants" are clogging up the country's immigration process for people who have genuine refugee claims.

The Czech Republic will press the European Union to impose a visa restriction on all Canadians travelling to its 27 member countries, the country's consul general in Toronto said Wednesday.

Most of Mexicans are this way when we visit other countries offering our house as yours is very common, is an act of humble and it means as I am welcome in your house u are welcome in mine. So even if the Canadian government did impose a visa to Mexicans which takes us totally by surprise, Canadians are still welcome, Although I agree in imposing visas to Diplomats, officers and business man to enter Mexico.

We are all brothers and sisters no matter if you believe the Bible or science, the Canadian Government under Harper and the conservatives does many things that come as a surprise.

Tienen internet??! NO! ANDAMOS EN BURRO Y TODOS VIVIMOS EN JACALES VESTIDOS DE CHINAS POBLANAS!

Seguro gente pendeja y redneck como estos son los que votan por el Mini George Bush Jr. que tienen por primer ministro.

that's the point bravox4u, that's why he is in a ESL school in Canada. Try yourself to speak in another language and you'll sound pretty much the same... :Op

@nemesis962074 Actually, the canuck population isn't very large. Hell, one US state has more people than the entire country of fagada. And Mexicans are use to harsh conditions, and could defeat fagada's spoiled troops. And here's an example: The US is a first world country and has a huge military, yet the Vietnamese managed to actually provide a huge challenge. Mexicans can do something similar. And canucks can't even handle weather above freezing.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Which country do you think would win in a war? a third world country that has a weak unorganized government that can't keep control over it's citizens, or a first world nation that has a stable economy and large population?

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz It's obvious that you don't know crap about Canada, so I will just drop this.

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Canada's military isn't very large. And Mexican soldiers are crazed. They will DESTROY them in battle. Japan has a better economy than Canada, so does the US. Canada's also in debt to the US and China.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Yet they have the second best economy in the world, better than France or UK, but you are saying that Mexico(a third world country) can take on Canada, weird....

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Lol, couldn't survive in a war against canada? That's the funniest joke I've seen in a while. I bet the canuck military can't even take on the drug cartels. Also, most of their military budget is financed by the US military. That's fucking sad.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Dude don't fool your self, Mexico couldn't survive in a war against Canada, I'm Mexican but at least I know the limits of my nation. Canada is probably the fifth most powerful country in the world.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz I said second, and I'm a Mexican too, maybe you don't know this but Canada is one of the original G8 and it could beat most countries in war.

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Canada isn't the most powerful country in the world. Canada would get its ass kicked by even Mexico. Hell, I would like to see China kick your ass. Canada is a shit stain. BTW, I'm a Mexican.
