Generosity, openness, embracing diversity, supporting the less fortunate and less endowed - those are Canadian values. And they are values of most progressives (aka left-wingers). How many right-wingers have those values?
You sure don't show it. Instead you condescend on others who just can't make it like you. Hey, you made it but that doesn't make you better than any of us still in sinkapore.
You don't speak of Canada ...you brag about Alberta all the time. You exhibited the Albertan arrogance. If you walk and talk like an Albertan, we know where you loyalty lies.
It gives me great pleasure to debunk you.
I am more pissed with people who ran from sinkapore and then treat people who stay on with contempt. Why can't people who remain criticise their government?
I lived in Alberta before, so I understand that mindset. Albertans are always whining about how the federal government doesn't treat them fairly. They think of their province first and damn the country. When Eastern Canada was suffering under the high dollar caused by the unmanaged tarsands development, Albertans couldn't give a damn.
I don't hate you ...just your attitude.
I am very positive ...you come sinkapore, I bring you out makan. Samy's curry, okay?
Do a good deed ...go up north and help those people affected by the tarsands.
Honestly or sarcastically?
If I were a Canadian, I would vote NDP but even the NDP has moved more towards the centre and the Liberals moved left.
So, you would have been happy to remain in sinkapore if the country was bigger in land size, say like size of Johor?
I lived in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta. An Albertans were the worst lot. They were not friendly and they were bigots. There were more of them who disliked non-whites than accepted them. I spent so many occasions debating my fellow Albertan classmates that foreign students contributed positively to their economy; they kept insisting that we were taking away spots from the locals.
Sinkapore ...at least, I can be comfortable with myself.
Look, you succeed. But just because you can, it doesn't mean everybody can. Those who can't yet, try to do something, even though it could have little effect, to bring about change in the country. Look, the death of a teenage lead to the Arab Springs. Who knows what could happen in sinkapore if more of the PAP is revealed to sinkees.
Yeah lor. So, don't look down on them.
Yes, you may and am probably right. But if you can't go, that's the only option.
Now that is my view. Just sharing what I think. You are welcome to disagree. I am just sorry that by doing that it makes you think I am an idiot some redneck gun slinging Indian scalping right winger who doesn't give a damn about anyone.
Sorry. Fact is I am happy and healthy in Alberta and you continue to fight the good fight in Singapore.
As the Koreans say "fighting!"
Of course you can criticize. You have every right to. I thought this was just dialogue. You have your views and I shared mine.
I have shared many times that life is too short to be angry with what you have and complaining does nothing really. So I have suggested that people take action and do something to really change. Eg migrate.
Of course not everyone agrees. Some want to stay on and fight by posting anti PAP stuff here. Who can stop them. No one.
But seriously I think doing that will change nothing. It hasn't over the past 15 years and it won't in the future.
