February 11, 20178 yr comment_248615 At least the City of Winnipeg/Province paid for their own perimeter whereas it was rumoured that out-of-towners voluntarily paid for your 'ring road' to enable them to leave Regina quicker..

Yes we did benefit from immigration, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure there's some sort of international treaty concerning cruel and unusual punishment that prohibits immigrants and refugees from being situated in Saskatchewan.

And I'm sure last year's combine was a turn off to. excelent speling/grammar! or perhaps Kluck meant a turn off, as in an exit, and got distracted, forgetting to include the turn off destination.

That, and the mandatory prefrontal lobotomy so they wouldn't stand out.

Fun fact... unless you are a member of the first nations we all are here because someone In our family (likely grandparents ) immigrated to Canada

February 14, 20178 yr comment_249195 Funner fact. First Nations folks did not immigrate here because the definition of immigration is: "the international movement of people into a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there." There was no nation or country to immigrate to because that concept did not yet exist, therefore, they migrated. That's why it is inaccurate to say that they are immigrants too.

That's using a modern definition to split hairs. Everyone is an immigrant if you go back far enough.

Everyone has migrated at some point but, as pointed out, immigration requires the modern concept of country/nation. It's part of the definition.

February 14, 20178 yr comment_249217 Walking from point A to point B to settle is the same act no matter if someone has drawn lines on a map or if maps have even been invented yet. You migrate from and immigrate to. Edited February 14, 20178 yr by TBURGESS migrate v immigrate
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249224 Can we either lock this down, or start a Gen Forum thread for people to argue about immigration??
