It look like Demerara Guy will be replaced by a Japanese robot in Canada.

I think it is an insult to put a robot ahead of a human being.  If this report was written in the United States then the Black population would be protesting.

Wah alyuh mekking fuss ova.  Robut just anada maching laka wan trackta and harvesta.  Abie goa bring in machine an' cane cuttah wuk done donk hay.  Robut bin deh roun lang lang time and people still deh roun'.

And all the time I was thinking Canadians wuz robots

Herbert Grubel, who co-authored the report with Patrick Grady should be replaced by a robot.

WHY?!!

 

The overwhelming majority of Black people in America are NOT immigrants.

 

Check yourself . . .

Black American leaders such as Sharpton, Jesse, Farakhan etc would have brought out their supporters onto the streets to protest this report that is advocating the replacement of human beings (that are mostly minorities of color) with Japanese made robots.

Only in your head . . . 

The report relates to restricting the numbers of IMMIGRANTS who would be competing with native born citizens [in America - a large number would be BLACK] for scarce jobs and benefits.

 

The robots would, theoretically, reduce the need for low skilled immigrants, and have the added plus of needing no benefits (see the reference to Japan).

 

Re-read the article . . . what you have posted is based on ignorance. 

I hope a Japanese robot replace you soon.  You are acting very naive. This report stinks.  If these immigrants were Western European whites would these two white Canadians be advocating their replacement with cheap Japanese robots. Ask your self that question.

Al yuh dont get too hot, remember Canada is a semi Third World Country with a shortage of people with intelligence!!!!!

The merit(s) of the Canadian report is indeed a matter for debate.

 

What I addressed is my comment(s) was your gratuitous and stupid post regarding Black Americans, whose politics you obviously know little about . . .    

 

 

Are you saying that many black Americans are against immigrants?

no . . . nothing in their politics tells me that they are "against immigrants"

One day you might grow up and get a brain, until then you're stupidy.

Accurate but  mis- directed self  assessment. That's  what  usually  happen  to  pandits who nyam poke  cuttas and  over  indulge  on hennesey 

Canada is importing 100,000 Irish Immigrants .

 

[b]..."For a host of reasons, immigrants "are not doing as well economically" now as earlier waves of newcomers and often struggle to find high paying jobs.

"We're not against some immigration," said Herbert Grubel, who co-authored the report with Patrick Grady...[b]

 

By and  large those  ' host of  reasons '  boils  down  to subtle racism and  envy of the obvious success of most  immigrants.  As I recall about  20 years  ago the  Fraser Institute  came  out  with  a  similar nonsensical report  that could stand  scrutiny when  it  was challenged  and  debated  publicly. Alberta's Industrialist, Peter Pocklington,  one of  the initial  proponent of  the report, publicly  admitted  that it was a flawed document.

Ever so often in the US, especially during hard economic times, they come out with these studies that try to demonize the immigrants. Of course there are situations where this is true, like in the states bordering Mexico where Mexicans cross the border to give birth for free at taxpayers expense. And those who come to the nation specifically to bleed the system exploiting welfare and other social services.  

The concept is utter nonsense. You cannot use robots to wash dishes, mow lawns, clean the pool, and do manual labor that poor immigrants do. Robots are used mainly on assembly lines, a job that non immigrants and white residents perform.

Immigrants are hard working and they create jobs.  But they have to be given a level playing field.  If an immigrant is discriminated against and cannot find work that meet his or her potential and skills then how would that immigrant get access to or save the capital needed to start a business or invest in stocks.  So in the end the immigrants get the blame but it is the racists in societies that acts as barriers to preventing them from suceeding that are the real people that should be blamed.  In the end everyone suffers and the immigrants get blamed.

Bai Wally, if dem bin datt racists, dem nah leh abie coolie and blackman goa dem k.untry fuh piss aroun.  Dem black bais donk hay seh abie coolies racist cazz abie gah nuff bisness and paisa.  Abie goa bring machine fuh cut cane and canecuttah dazz done, den wah, abie coolie racists gainst abie own mattie?

I think the government should find another source of employment for these workers before introducing full scale machines to cut cane.  For example; starting a new rum company (for rum exports only so it don't compete with DDL and DIH on the domestic market) can generate employment.

 

 

Taking the recommendations of some white guy or white woman who is sitting behind a desk in some western city and never had to deal with issues or situations discrimination or never experienced third world poverty is not the solutions for countries such as Guyana.

 

I am not racist against anyone I am just trying to put the situation into a context of reality.
