toboy: Know this- whoever that guy is, he has zero respect for you, your culture, your sensitivities or anything about you. To infer those words would be terrible but to say it so explicitly is actually sacrilegious in modern society. I don't know the circumstances that dictated your response but I can tell you that whatever you intended to achieve by that cordiality will be fruitless. For people like that, you must DEMAND respect in strong words. Never ever accept such denigrating language from anyone. Whoever says that to your face deserves words. 25 Likes |

TheCongo2: My Malian friend here told me a story recently and I keep laughing anytime I remember it. One of his colleagues at work asked him a question. The colleague is Caucasian and he gave him a befitting response. The question : Do you guys have tarred roads in your country (in Africa by extension )? His response: When I was in Africa, going to school was not easy because I had to run as fast as my legs could carry me along the thick forests and bushes hiding the world most dangerous animals. The lions roar as I run. The pythons hiss as I run. I would run like that till I got to school. Same thing happened on my way back home. In fact, it is still the same scenario today in Africa . School children run to school to avoid been eaten by wild animals along the pathways in the thick forests. By the following day, the colleague has spread this story all over their company and some ignorant ones came to confirm the story from my friend while those who understand their world map very well have been laughing at their colleague for exhibiting such ignorance about Africa. 29 Likes |

Nogen: Oh noooo... lol. Can't believe this degree of ignorance At least those white ignorants would be afraid of your friend thinking that he had fought with lions. Anyway, anyone who knows Africa will be able to say your colleague's story about running to school was a joke. Likewise, anyone familiar with Canada can tell that toboy 'story doesn't ring right. 3 Likes |

cochtrane: The law and constitution of Canada protect both gays rights and individual's religious beliefs. @cochtrane, I see in your post that you are advocating for their rights and are pushing it to great lengths, thereby being oblivious of other rights enshrined in the constitution. Needless to say, your reasoning is flawed @cochtrane et al. I couldn't find a Canadian case yet, but this leading US case is very instructive. I enjoin everyone to read the article below: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/jun/04/gay-cake-ruling-supreme-court-same-sex-wedding-colorado-baker-decision-latest For a refresher, the Supreme Court is the final court of Appeal over a matter. In this case, the Learned Justices ruled 7-2 i.e 7 Justices in favour, 2 in dissent. That says a lot. I stand where the law stands which is where @TheCongo stands too. There should be mutual respect and understanding but I have every right to deal with my property however I deem fit including refusing as a landlord not to rent to gay couples if I feel any of my Charter rights as codified in The Canadian constitution 1982, would be infringed and ladies and gentlemen, that's not discrimination. I wouldn't want to bore anyone with the plethora of Canadian cases where the court has upheld religious beliefs as sufficient reason for the commission or omission of a particular act. Personally, I would not rent my building to a gay couple based on religious beliefs. It's not being discriminatory. Note that: 1. No 2 cases are same as facts and circumstances of a case matter in arriving at a judgment. 2. Readers should not consider this as a legal advice but rather as a personal opinion. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

cochtrane: But if I may ask your suggestion; is it innate to be polygamous in nature? Truth be told, the fact that I 'respect' your choice does not make it right with me. It's this error that Western countries continuously fail over and over again. They go to countries where the people want Monarchy and cause rancor and war in countries who Democracy is alien to. You must know that living in a place does not mean you've got to agree with their 'madness'. If your narrative above is your belief, its because you have gay friends and you're able to sympathize with them not because you're in Canada. I could as well sympathize with Polygamy and still be wrong in Canada. Human beliefs are stronger than simply changing location. Even if I relocate to Canada, under no cause will I support Homosexual/Transgender. It won't even be an option. I am convinced that there are many 'foolish' desire we all can either fuel or frustrate in our hearts. One of such is Homosexual desire as well as Polygamy. If you 'foolishly' feed yours, don't force me to agree even if the Prime Minister of Canada does. He only rules/leads a geographical location not the heart. And before anyone run to town with 'hate-whatever', disagreeing with your 'folly' aint meaning I don't respect or love you; it just mean that I ain't permitting your 'shits'. And that includes ALL WESTERN COUNTRIES. 15 Likes |

What was your response - You understand. You only confirmed his biased views. I can accept you inferiority complex but this statement and your rants needs to be properly addressed. 22 Likes |

Olabestonic001: Sincerely - if the system allows western people to speak freely, they would prefer to get rid of gay people. The main reason the liberal government was voted out in Ontario province was the change in sex education in schools where news books on homosexuality are considered to be okay. This intensified parents anger. However, if you ask people in Ontario, they would covertly say they were satisfied with the liberal policies without giving you specific details. 4 Likes |

Boss13: Very apt submission If you google the west coast Christian accord and their crusade against sogi 123 educational curriculum being introduced in schools, you will see that it's mostly being championed by white Canadians Christians... Yet I don't see anyone telling them to shut up and leave Canada if they are not OK with it. But if Na black man voice an alternate opinion to these topics, we will be crucifying them here 12 Likes |

Hello Everyone, I’m drawing up a budget for Pre-Landing and Post-Landing Expenses.I found out that drawing one during this EE Application Process has helped us keep tabs on how much this whole journey costs and manage our income. It doesn’t have to be perfect, all I require is a checklist of things needed for pre landing and post landing as well as the cost implications. Thank you and Happy New Year! 4 Likes |

AZeD1: And that exactly is the point. We allow them to come to our space and claim rights and it's OK. But we must not have an opinion in their space, it's a sin according to us. And we are the ones castigating ourselves for having an opinion in their space. This is the inferiority complex congo2 is talking about. 6 Likes 1 Share |

bily:Nobody has said it ok but for you to fight it, you need people who believe in the equal rights of people irrespective of sexuality, race, tribe e.t.c The people on this thread are all migrating to Canada because the system discourages discrimination(at least openly). A certain poster says he would not rent an apartment to homosexuals because of his religion but that same person has most likely complained about tribalism in Nigeria and he would definitely complain if he is denied a job because of his religion. 7 Likes |

AZeD1: And how do you know if those white in Bily's post aren't immigrants to Canada. This may be another case of microaggression in the Canadian society. If you are black you are an immigrant. If you are white, they assume you are in your country. bily: 8 Likes |

Lovely discourse. As long as tempers don't flare, these discussions are actually quite enlightening. Kudos to the contributors. I wish our current residents can introduce some of these testy topics from time to time and share their perspectives. It will certainly go a long way to preventing some Chinedu Ayo Yusuf from losing his PR tomorrow. 6 Likes |
