meet to feed their children's. Instead of living 1 family per house or appartment, 2 family must move in with each other to cover the rent. Lot more people are steeling,lots more drug people on our streetas homeless peoole because if drugs, there is more racism now right now in Ottawa, because we don't screen correctly the migrants that we try to help, because their country are at war. I'm a Canadian born person and very PROUD TO BE A Canadian our Country is NOT FOR SALE to Trump
Drastic changes must be corrected for us not to be afraid to live here. If people move to other Countries you must follow their laws if not try another Country people. Home inventions are on the rise, stealing cars is on the rise. stabbing and shooting in on the rise so alot of us True Canadians are scare to go anywhere these days and that's a shame. I
have to lock every thing at my place to feel safer and that an scary thing on it's own after being robbed 3 times at another house of our just 45 minutes to Ottawa. Robbers come and steal stuff that they can sell for different reasons. After 3 robberies we put that house for sale and they rob multiple houses on our dirt road. I was no longer safe to live there. DRUGS action is a big issue that creates us not to go at our usual restaurant, shopping centers and even travel on busses. Screening better Canadians and Immigrants must be reassess. And cost of living needs to go down to get back to normally living for everyone and follow our rules to live in harmony. THAT!
When I talk to people from other parts of the world it amazes me how they did not have the same drug and violence filled upbringing that I had. I was glad to escape.
The Shaw Centre is located in suburbia heaven.
The only thing to fear is boredom.
