As a Global Mod and a senior member , don't you think you should exercise restraint and better language rather than personal unprovoked remarks ??
How would you have felt if some one would have commented the same on you ?

I really did not want to reply to this thread any further however now I *am* being personally attacked on this forum so I will respond to all your posts.
my response was not 'unprovoked' in my own opinion.
I have been on this forum for over 4 years and have seen members come and go. I have seen the ebbs and flows of this forum and I have been an active member of this forum. I find it very negative and toxic to have one member repeat over and over again in various threads things like "crap canada" and "stupid canada". How would YOU or THEY feel if I started to say things like that about India, or any other country? Canada is not mine alone..I did not infer that at all from my post, but I do love it here because it gives me my survival. My job. My home. My family. My friends. My freedom to be who I want to be.Yes there are cons..but what country what place in the world doesnt have them?
By insulting Canada..a person is insulting themselves..because insulting your own home is very sad.
In the time, I have been here I have never said that Canada is all roses and puppy dogs, I am well aware of many systemic flaws and institutions that are in place that discriminate due to policies and processes. Many people know that I work in/have worked with employment, EI, immigrants, refugees, welfare, WCB etc. I am here because I am passionate about the experience of new immigrants.
Calling someone's posts 'toxic negative garbage' is NOT calling them garbage. Please know the difference. I am not the only member who has stated in direct or not so direct ways that they dont agree with what this person has written.
Anyone is free to Leave Canada if they dont like it. In fact its more positive to LEAVE a place that you dont like..then to sit around and complain about it. It brings you down (mentally) and others around you.
I am doing what I think is right. Whether you or anyone else disagrees with me, its ok. This is who I am.

AB YAHAN SE KAHAN JAEN HUM ...
Members come and go; but as a ‘Global Moderator’ it matters what you says. Highlighting discrepancies does not take away feeling of love for the country. Government sponsored ‘Ripping’ is an all known realty. As new immigrants almost everyone went thru it, and it is not completely avoidable in later years even. Not all has that time to talk for hours to reps of these organized ‘money making gangs’. I have posted on some other thread, how they will put some extra buck in a bill and it takes a lot of time and efforts to get that corrected. Some can’t do that for various reasons and simply pay to get rid off the hassles; making company’s belief even stronger on this tactics. No one is saying Canada is bad but these money sharks, surviving (with) jobs…
Many good things also, but in some other thread.

Huh ...
Thats what I call exercise restraint & be responsible ..... if you do not agree with a person , you don't have to call names and be personal ... and bring your left over emotions from other threads to every thread ....
If you feel irked when being personally attacked , please empathize how someone else will feel when you personally attack them .
So you have been around for 4 years and seen members come and go ? Does that give you a right to tell people to go away and with what authority should anyone comply to your wishes ? For your information there are other members also including yours truly who have been around for more than you and still do not behave in this manner ....
One thing is for sure -- that snide remark of TK being fired was of sarcastic nature ..... I wish the same does not happen to you / your spouse ....

my 2 cents.
we will be able to gauge loyalty and patriotism of all of us for canada, only when there is riots and wars, see how people run for a country which is safe and that time, they will not think of canada or their own country for that matter.
so, please stop fighting and concentrate on topic.
