On the commercial end, Canada wins.

On the ideological end, Its completely against Canadian values.

The Canadian government should realize that Canada is an attractive investment haven for corrupt individuals across the world and should exploit this phenomenon to happy but corrupt customers

-They live without ethics.

I know they're /biz/raeli dream but they're not Canadian and should fuck off back to their own country.

That doesn't make what's happening any less complete bullshit.

I'm in nearby Seattle and they've completely taken over my uni. Over half of the student population are foreign Chinese nationals who barely speak English, and are riding through school subsidized by my tax dollars. Washington is going to be fucked in the next few decades because the Chinese are pushing all of our students out of our own universities.

Head over to /pol/ then and plan your very own ethnic cleansing against "undesirables". On /biz/ we operate within existing frameworks of capitalist economy and political democracy.

Somethings telling me if theyre filling up your unis, it means:
A) Unis charge them more and they can bring in the dough
B) They actually have the grades to go in.
Improve on A) and B) and you'll be set, instead of giving "woe is me" overtures on jap 2d art forums.

Generalization, at most. We had an English and an Italian family buy plots of land and houses in a smaller city we had a cottage in so that they could get away from "civilization". And I'm from the tiny, extremely poor country (Moldova) as well. I've lived in Canada for most of my life, since I was a kid, and am doing pretty well for myself. Not by crime, not by gray market bullshit, but by honest work and being able to recognize and capitalize on business opportunities. I'm not sucking yellow cock, but if you think all your misfortunes are because of "Muh Chinese", its time to take a look in the mirror and face the fact that you might just be the one worthless loser that always pops up in every family.

Suppose that your state's higher education system can graduate x students per year, based on the infrastructure paid for by tax dollars. Now suppose, if instead of educating x Washington residents, you're only educating x/2 or x/3.

Yes, they pay slightly higher tuition, but who the fuck cares? They aren't paying any of the hidden costs of infrastructure or the massive fucking opportunity cost of causing Washington citizens to not be able to get an education. Taxpayers pay into the university system in order to benefit the state and the people that live in it. These people are just getting their fancy american degree at a bargain price and then leaving.

This has nothing to do with race. We're being robbed on a mass scale.

Well I'll tell you the breakdown of foreign students in my program (Electrical Engineering).
120 started, 30 graduated. I've counted 10-15 whites (including non-Canadians), the rest were about evenly split between Chinese and Indians (about a third of each group foreign), and the few random blacks. The fact that there were so few whites to begin this, especially locals tells me that they simply weren't interested in the profession.

As for universities being funded by government taxation, yes thats true - but think longer term. All of those foreign students are now links between the two nations that can enable more trade, growing prosperity of both. Sure, 80% of them will just be cubicle drones, but those 80% won't matter. Its the exceptional 20%, the entrepreneurs that will matter, the issue is you can't pick those guys out beforehand. Just my view on things.

and it isnt just vancouver, its pretty much ALL of the entire prairies thats like that,
im all for being multicultural and diverse, but there comes a point where canada just has TOO many immigrants and not enough Canadians in it

and like >>740882 said it starts taking mine and fellow canadian's tax dollars to pay for all these immigrants educations, etc, only for them to leave and go back to their native country in a few yrs, while our own ppl cant even get a job out of school, or even get into school, cause a 1/3 of the students that arent even from this country are registered in

its all about having balance and if its not properly managed and supervised we end up having a robbed country filled with immigrants taking advantage of our systems and education and taking all of our resources and fucking off a few yrs later, leaving our country at a loss, with our own ppl not able to get a good job or an education cause we spent all of our resources on temporary immigrants

Top fucking kek, I actually go to UW and have a 3.9 finance GPA. You have no idea what you're talking about, they wouldn't be taking foreign students if they LOST money on them, that is retarded and makes no sense. Why would they operate at a loss for every foreign student if they could operate on a profit for every local student?
>subsidized by my tax dollars.
By what, the $10 in taxes you've paid over your entire life by buying a weekly snickers bar?

Waterloo? My cousin goes there for STEM. He's a textbook anchor baby though and barely speaks English.

As for myself, I moved here in the mid 90's from HK before the handover to Chicom. My area is pretty diverse from block to block. But its really low crime.

Everyone just keep to themselves aside from the occasional small talk.

My bad Anon.

There's also a UW in my area that's awfully similar to how you describe your UW where a sizable population belongs to the International Student Category.

From a /biz/ perspective its pretty ingenious.

The UW in my area charges 3 times as much for Int.Students when compared to locals. Similar rates are also found in other schools.

The superior profit margins for Int. Students makes the education industry have a strong focus upon the "worldly" aspect of its school, attracting the patronage of nouveau rich students.

Its a small and niche group of HK society. You're not an expat, but at the same time its difficult for you to intermingle in the common echelons of society due to cultural constraints.

You call it home, it is your home.

You are an HKer by default. No need to listen to anon's opinion on 4chan.

But word of advice, since your parents are foreign nationals, you have access to a different nationality too; if their home nation has "jus sanguis" type of citizenship simply apply for it if you haven't already.

You should arrange a SHTF plan, passports, and bailout in the event HK goes kaboom.

From a /biz/ wise perspective, you should keep your assets as liquid as possible for evac.

What you need to understand is that all Chinese business dealings are corrupt. Period. All that the charges of corruption back in China mean is that politics have gone against said real estate developer and he had better stay out of mainland China or his head might roll in order to appease somebody.

The corruption charges are meaningless given that all Chinese business is corrupt. It changes nothing as far as Canada is concerned.
