Well, here's a thing. I just got an email from my accountant saying I owe yet ANOTHER $15k in taxes for 2015 on top of the eye-watering sum I've already paid. As much of this money is going to pay for Trudeau's refugees from God knows where and to support Canada's "First Nations" I feel I have a tight to appropriate their culture.

Therefore if I want to dress up as a red injun I damn well will. If in the meantime they want to appropriate my culture (which broadly speaking means thanklessly working 70 hour weeks year after year and handing over most of my money to the government) they're welcome to it. I'll swap places with them. I'll sit around drinking all day and they can do this ****.


I'm sorry,what culture is this to only be working 70 hours a week?

Canada's First Nations number nearly 1.5 million.
Way to go at overgeneralising a mass of different cultures' daily lives as "sit(ting) around drinking all day".

How do you work 70 hour weeks? The maximum allowed by Ontario is 48. What's your occupation?

48 hours in a week is the maximum in the UK and most Commonwealth nations. :tongue:

I wouldn't say exclusively but predominantly. In Canada it's the white man's burden. We work 70 hour weeks; First Nations sign on for welfare. That's just the way it is.

And now that imbecilic French schoolmaster Prime Minister (Prime Numpty more like) is swamping the country with more foreigners that we are expected to house and provide for.

I'm an independent contractor (self employed LTD company) so I'm not bound by employment legislation.

So you're generalising immigrants as a whole now?

Well, take a tour of Regina, the armpit of Canada, one of these days. I've not seen one working yet. We even import Filipinos to work in Tim Hortons because the First Nations can't stay sober long enough to make a cup of coffee.

Ahh right, not too shabby, I've a good few cousins and uncles in construction myself.
However, I don't think the majority of Canadians are self-employed builders working more than the legal limit. Canadians worked an average of 36.6 hours per week in 2012.

Well, the average is probably pulled down by the First Nations who do practically nothing and the lazy socialist Frenchmen in Quebec who struggle to do more than 36 hours a month.
