    lol...Great....It's refreshing to hear stories like this. I've known that piece of garbage for years and couldn't bare to be in the same room with Lynn. Hopefully the next story I hear about Lynn is that Lynn is dead.

    as the south asians take over and work for nothing, i can understand his frustration,. third world people come to canada, but bring with them third world standards of living. its well known too that south asians do not make the best truck drivers.
    My worth as a driver has declined due to south asians willing to work for much less wages than what the job is worth. Their communal living arrangements give them an advantage,.They are buying up land, monopolizing transportation, using religious loopholes to avoid taxes etc,.they exploit our constitution for their own gains,.in a few years they will own southern ontario, they already have their representatives elected to parliament.
    So i do understand the mans frustration.

    Do you feel better now that you have exposed your bigotry and ignorance?

    South Asian, What does that exactly mean? Right about now their broken english is understood better than your English! I have never even heard the term before. Unless your talking about a particular country in Asia!

    Wow. Just... wow. I hope you don't have any Canadian flags, pins, patches or stickers on anything you own, because you sure don't deserve to be a Canadian citizen.

    Using the same term as in the article,.
    enlighten you on what problem specifically? which of the observations or points that i made pertain to you specifically?
    Really? i state my opinion,. based on my everyday experiences, and knowledge regarding these things.
    Your pious attitude and politically correct posturing are a hinderance in the freedom to state ones opinion.
    Sometimes an opinion can be stated without any racialist overtones,. just sticking to the facts as they stand,.but leave it up to folks not to dicuss any of the aforementioned points,. but to just simply take the popular tack and turn the racist/bigot card. People that come to canada, and then exploit it should be discussed, if they are predominately from a certain part of the globe,. then so be it,.

    I can understand where Original Phantom 309 is coming from. I'm having the same problem with illegal immigrants (primarily Mexican) down here in the U.S. And I freely admit to being an ignorant bigot and racist.
