Pretty crazy how we were taught this lesson in the 8th grade. I understood it then. The President definitely understands what he is doing. It is not difficult to see.

As an Indian I am shocked too! Unchecked immigration? How is the mass immigration helping Canada? These illegal colleges created just for immigration, these are open secrets, why these are not tackled? Being in the tech industry I thought I could get PR relatively easily. But everyday I am seeing stories about people moving to western countries, beating the system, not paying taxes - how does that even work?
First-person account from an Indian immigrant expressing shock at unchecked immigration, criticizing fraudulent colleges and questioning how the system enables tax evasion.

Totally agreed. If you want to maintain your culture then do not migrate. But whose fault is this? Canada and some other western countries give too much freedom to immigrants to do whatever they want. So people started keep practicing their own culture instead of adopting the Canadian culture. It's not their fault. That's human nature. Government should have controlled the immigration not letting large ethnic groups created within Canada.
Critiques government for insufficient cultural assimilation controls and argues policy should restrict ethnic community formation.

I am a true Patriot of Canada, but we have been living on boral time when it comes to our defense systems, including the borders. And we have depended on the U S far too long, and for that I blame the Canadian government. The Trudeau/liberals said they were going to fix it well here we are unprepared now here we are 10 years later. We need an election right now. Canadians cannot afford to wait any longer, the people need to pick the time, and that's now.
Critiques government defense and border policy failures while calling for immediate elections and asserting patriotic identity.

What do we think about it?
I've heard words that are not in any dictionary. Yet, they are understood in their intent.
There are too many that are far too ignorant. Those, give them all a bad rep.
I don't blame them for being here, except those that don't leave when required. However, the government knew it would be a problem with the numbers allowed; lack of resources to ensure they were sent packing when their time expired.
It should be codified in law that if you do nkmot leave, your entire family, including extended family gets the boot.
Critique of government immigration policy for admitting excessive numbers without enforcement mechanisms, proposing punitive legal solutions.

Sounds like Canada had a true plan to work on border crossings and drug problem, while Trump wants to just attack and make up lies about criminals and numbers.
