SirCranksalot Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I've never heard of them before but Harper seems to think they exist. I've heard of "Old Stock Ale" but not "Old Stock Canadians". I guess I don't qualify because my ancestors came less than 300 years ago (probably barely over 200). What class of Canadian are you??

dave524 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I must be old stock , I find it disgusting that any Canadian would vote for another Trudeau. All those who like the Party of One book on Harper should give this a read. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=0c1b3dca-544a-45d8-8ce3-f577f9cb43a6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I can't wear my ball cap at the legion ..why can you wear your turban . Because a turban is not a cap, it's a religious symbol. Asking them to remove it would be no different than asking catholic veterans to remove a crucifix from around their neck. And those turbans were worn by soldiers in battle, who acquitted themselves admirably In both World Wars, fighting for your freedom.

manitoubass2 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Mr Harper just committed political suicide. (And almost every aboriginal wants him out big time) Not that he cares, now he just moves into the corperate sector with an office and zero duties, but 6 zeros behind those duties Edited September 19, 2015 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Since I'm weighing in, I should get my bona fides on display. Born here in '53, to parents who emigrated from England. Ethnic background is English with a dash of Welsh. Does that make me 'old stock'? Since Mr. Harper was probably using a dog whistle term for 'white European', I suspect he would include me. And thanks, but no thanks. I don't want to be included in his definition of Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Its political jargon and who really knows what he meant??? Was he referencing aboriginals? The settlers that built this country? Is he calling all present canadians as property of the country??? Who knows?

dave524 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I believe Old Stock may refer to those old enough to remember The Canada that was before the majourity started to believe the multicultural , peacemaker etc. Krap that the liberal media and education system hammered into us since the sixties. I was born in 50 , the most influential people in my life were for the most part WW2 vets and believe me their values and influence on my youth were miles apart from the influences on todays youth, even the generation after me is totally different than me, you had these men as fathers, teachers, barbers etc. Edited September 19, 2015 by dave524 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 "Old stock" refers to Canadians. The context of the comment was in reply to Mulcair and Trudeau insisting Canada must do more to help migrants from Syria by bringing them here, setting them up with housing, etc. Harper said he didn't think any new refugees coming in should be entitled to get anything from the government more than what Canadian citizens get. He shot himself in the foot in how he phrased it, but the basic answer - saying everyone should be treated the same way - is something I support. Why should someone who has been in the country for five minutes be entitled to things I am not, when I have paid taxes here my whole life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
