why not argue your point by yourself?
I already argued. Maybe you'll listen when @merka confirms about the level of Djiboutian presence in Ottawa
why not argue your point by yourself?
how many somalis do you gauge are in ottawa?
Twenty years ago war and famine in Somalia sparked an exodus that changed the face of Ottawa.
Today there are about 20,000 people here either born in Somalia or born to Somali parents, and more Somalis continue to arrive.

yeah ok that's more or less based around those bogus stats that place the entire somali population here under 120k
so let's be honest there's probably slightly more that no? somewhere in the 25-30k given that all of Canada is supposedly more than 150,000 by even conservative estimates.
djiboutiennes would have to be damn near 10x greater than the their statistic claim to be even be half that number. that's not just an oversight that's absolute incompetency. something damn near unheard of.
be real with yourself.
In less than a decade, from 1988 to 1996, more than 55,000 Somali refugees had arrived in Canada, of which more than 7,000 thousand resettled in Canada's capital, Ottawa.

"I think it would be certainly be a goal and objective of mine in the coming years to see the Canadian flag flying over Mogadishu. I think one of the ties that bind us are the 300,000 plus Canadians of Somali descent,” said Baird.
Like I said, Djiboutians claimed to be from Somalia when they first came here. Their numbers are irrelevant. The point I made was they are the majority in that city and they are doing better than the other Somalis due to being bilingual
Which is again horseshit because their English isn't good. They can usually only speak French to a degree most in Quebec already have and they speak zero English like most Somalis.
They have no inherent advantage to other people who live in Ottawa and only have a slight advantage over their Somali brethren.
Being bilingual is borderline useless in this province no matter what people meme. It's only marginally better in the Gatineau area so hop off nigga

This whole paragraph is fake news. The average Djiboutian speaks better standard French then Québécois. In fact many make a living as French language instructors. The ones in Ottawa speak English... and like @AbdiJohnson billingualism is a must in Ottawa job market unless it's in the small tech sector.
@CaptainMajid he's trolling. Don't waste your time on him.
he talks out of his ass

our index doesn't even place their official number at 2k. they are also added in with the somali ethnic group overall when they tally up Somali Canadians as a whole.

She's a nutcase
AJ trolls a lot but he's right here. If you think billingualism isn't an inherent advantage in Ottawa job market you clearly know little about it. Use Google. It has little to do with services, everything to do with the city's biggest employers asking for billingualism as a requirement.You're on crack and so is he. There are large pockets of Quebec that speak French almost exclusively. Their horrifying accent aside they speak French to a degree that most Canadians speak English. That is to say absolutely fluently.
Second, AJ is just stupidly referencing Ottawa's bilingual structure. In that all services were now required to be made available in French and English and 1/3 of that city already speaks French and English fluently.
They have zero inherent advantage and their English is exactly the same aa other Somalis. Some were educated in other countries like Egypt and Kenya but hardly any have a command of the language. We have Djibouti people in this city.
Somalis in Ottawa have the same insufferable rap as Toronto. High unemployment and crime. Stop the bullshit.
It's a fact that Djiboutian
