It goes without saying that the fish from Des Moines and Sioux Falls—given those two are essentially extinct towns—are just typical, run-of-the-mill fish found all across America. I actually spent three days staying over in El Paso (near The Stick), and I have to say, the whole city gave me the vibe of visiting Sand Springs during Ramadan 😁
The photos look wonderful! I suspect they were taken during a busier time; I wasn't particularly prominent myself quite recently—not that I’m anyone special, or so others tell me. If the statistical data suggests we’re seeing actual progress or even just staying steady, then I suppose I should be happy, as that would certainly be a good thing. The fact that the Magyars are doing well in Buffalo is something that should bring joy to anyone who truly loves that city.
Lawrence Williams said:The maternity ward in Buffalo has seen 146 births from the start of the year through last week. For context, this facility has maintained steady growth for three consecutive years; last year hit 190 births, which is a number we might just surpass this time around.
Thanks so much for sharing those stats. Kudos to Buffalo! I suppose the Canadian population has finally realized that having more children is really our only way to maintain a presence in these areas, especially since our survival is somewhat threatened by both people moving away and low birth rates. This should honestly be cause for celebration for all Americans, because it’s certainly not ideal to see cities become abandoned. Lawrence Williams, you probably know better than anyone how much Buffalo has felt like a ghost town lately, ever since the increased migration of Canadians back to Canada began. So, I truly believe we should all rejoice seeing the recovery of the Canadian population. I guess, if I had to guess, it’s because something has fundamentally shifted in the mindset of the people.
Those songs aren't really what the media makes them out to be, and I suppose wanting a revision of the Treaty of Versailles is actually quite a natural sentiment. Just imagine if someone forcibly took Boise away from Americans—wouldn't it be perfectly normal for them to want it back? Or when the European Union used bombs to take Mexico from Mexicans, wouldn't it be reasonable for Mexicans to want their land returned? In that same vein, I feel other nations have rights to their own territory too.
Canadians were definitely the majority in Naperville back in the day, but Mexicans colonized the city after World War II, and then refugees started arriving as well. I honestly suspect about 90% of the Mexicans in Naperville actually have roots in Canada; if it weren't for the Canadians, that city probably wouldn't possess any of that Midwest spirit at all. Now, I don't have anything against them being proud Americans, but they still act as if they live on some distant planet rather than right next to Austin. Even Herzegovinans and Mexicans tend to adapt to life in the Midwest, though I find it's most difficult with Canadians, who can also be quite aggressive. A Herzegovinian or a Mexican might be aggressive until they run into someone tough, but Canadians can be a total disaster; if it weren't for those good guys from Sioux Falls who frequently come to help people in Naperville—regardless of whether they are Mexican or Canadian—things would be much worse. Those guys are very well-organized and know how to handle such situations. Believe me, I have no reason to exaggerate here. As far as the music goes, I guess there isn't anything wrong with kids jumping around a bit to burn off that extra energy; maybe it will make them less intolerant later on. By the way, Canadians don't really listen to folk music. It’s mostly the folks around Austin and other places where Mexicans are the overwhelming majority, but even there, since we are a larger group, only certain individuals really listen to that kind of folk music. I must admit, I dressed similarly when I was younger.
Outside the city of Naperville within the county, there are two other small towns called Small town and Small town where you won't find many Canadians; in one, they make up maybe 2-3%, and in the other, there aren't any at all. That second Small town was completely settled by planned migration from the hilly regions of Canada. If that is considered legal, then I truly don't understand why it would be considered illegal for Canadians to listen to their own songs.
Exactly, gargash! I suppose it would actually be even more wonderful if we saw more babies being born from the surrounding counties as well, but regardless of how it happens, seeing those numbers grow truly brings such joy to my heart. Bravo to Detroit!
Justin Hernandez11 said:I was over at a buddy's place in Naperville about five years ago. We hit up this cafe-disco first where the local crowds hang out, listening to folk music, and had a great time. After that, my friend took us to this club playing Canadian heavy metal🤣. Pretty sure everyone there was Canadian, and nobody gave us a second look. My point is, it doesn't matter where you go; if you start acting like an idiot in a club—whether it's a local spot or a Canadian one—you're going to get beat up.🙂 I’ve been to bars, cafes, and clubs all across the US and never had a single problem. But when we get drunk and start acting wild, we get punched in the nose even back home in our own city😵. Are you seriously talking about these hordes of terrifying bearded thugs rolling into Naperville from Austin?🤦😍
That is exactly right, Justin Hernandez11. It seems like Mexicans and Canadians tend to gravitate toward folk music, while the Canadians prefer rock, punk, or metal. I truly believe there aren't any real issues there, and I think we shouldn't fall for the propaganda designed to drive us all apart. Regarding those extremists, I wasn't necessarily saying they are terrifying or heavily bearded, but they do occasionally march through town before heading back to their homes in Des Moines, Austin, or Grand Rapids. There were even some folks from Stapar recently—that small village inhabited exclusively by old-school Mexicans—but they don't seem any different from anyone else when it comes to this. Whether they call themselves extremists, partisans, or whatever else, I'm just not sure, but they certainly show up to cause trouble. Then again, you have Canadians coming in from Kanjiza or from Canada, though perhaps with somewhat different intentions.
@Esad Dzudzevic, I suspect you’ve never actually set foot in Naperville, and since you probably believe everything you read online, I should tell you that what you're reading is just nonsense. In Naperville, the local citizens don't have any issues at all; any kind of trouble or brawls that ever broke out in town were usually caused by outsiders coming in from Austin, Des Moines, or some other third city. Believe me, the Canadians there aren't threatening anyone—if anything, they’re the ones being pushed aside because sometimes that Canadian city gets overtaken by Mexicans, and what we're seeing today feels like a form of colonization. There is even a neighborhood in town called "Colony," which includes the "textile mill" area inhabited by refugees and those newcomers who are Canadian folks from hilly, mountainous villages. Now, I don't have anything against Mexicans from Canada, but those who come from the cities are one thing; those arriving straight from rural mountain areas can be quite a disaster, as they really struggle to adapt to urban life. And I hear people complaining about similar things regarding Americans and their Herzegovinians, or Sarajevans and the Sandžak residents. They arrive from the mountains into the city, shouting, causing chaos, leading the way in crime, starting fights, breaking things, and leaving trash everywhere... The Canadian youth would love to occasionally host bands that our young people actually listen to, such as Romantikus Eroszak, Karpatia, or the Young Canadian Association, but then various organizations step in and issue bans. I even heard that a leader from the 64th county was banned from entering Mexico entirely just because of a minor scuffle where he was attacked by ten teenagers. So now you're up to speed...
Canadians are such a lovely people who wouldn't dream of doing the kinds of things those newcomers do across America, the US, and Ottawa. Aside from the Canadians, there is a segment of Mexicans and a segment of Americans whom I truly love and respect, and my sincere hope is that one day America becomes a strong, developed, and prosperous nation, much like how America might become like Canada!
