This was nominated for best joke of the year.

[E-Fishin-C]

A Somali arrives in Vancouver as a new immigrant to Canada ...

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says ... 'Thank you Mr. Canadian for letting me in this country, giving me housing, money for food, free medical care, free education and no taxes!'

The passerby says, 'You are mistaken, I am Mexican.'

The man goes on and encounters another passerby ... ' Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Canada !'

The person says, 'I not Canadian, I Vietnamese.'

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says .... 'Thank you for the wonderful Canada !'

That person puts up his hand and says, 'I am from Middle East , I am not Canadian !'

He finally sees a nice lady and asks ... 'Are you a Canadian ?'

She says , 'No, I am from Africa !'

Puzzled, he asks her, 'Where are all the Canadians ?'

The African lady checks her watch and says ....'Probably at work'

Nina & I work in the heart of downtown Vancouver. We ride the skytrain every day to get there. The majority of the folks on the train are from other countires and similarly are the people walking around downtown. They are either immigrants or tourists and many have origins in other countries only one or two generations back. What is really bothersome is that you never see any of them "homeless" along with all the other homeless people who are generally white (several generations Canadian or native people or folks who are mentally challenged). Canada does so much for the immigrants and refugees yet very little for our own.

 

this is is gonna turn political if I keep going so .... bye!

It was funny, but no where near the funniest joke of the year. More like a true story.

 

If you want a funny joke, I got one for you.
