It’s not Tim Horton’s anymore. It’s Sigh Horton’s. There’s problem with Human trafficking and student visas expiring. India is so great but why are they coming here. Send them all back. If the brown people are saying there’s too much brown people it’s too much.

Why are international students being told they might be able to stay?!?????!? You're a scumbag Mr. Immigration lawyer! After they graduate and leave, they can apply like everyone else and get in line. Their time as a student should not count for anything. Why are we fasttracking bringing grandparents of new Canadians or PR's? They don't pay taxes and put extra burden on healthcare and CPP. PR's should not be able to bring other extended family members at all. Canada's immigration system hit the breaking point 10 years ago when that failed part-time high school drama teacher took the wrecking ball to it.
Critiques multiple immigration policies (international students, family reunification, grandparents) with concerns about healthcare/tax burden and includes partisan attack on leadership.

Canada is in the same boat as England and Australia where our government is run by an Anglo-Saxon form of government. It's just now a modern day system of slavery by which the rich stays rich if you can bring in cheap labour by disguising or manipulating the numbers in use of immigrants. I honestly don't understand why people can't do the simple math when we live in a world based on capitalism and it's countered by Marxism.
Critiques Canadian government immigration policy as exploitative labor scheme serving capitalist interests, with comparative reference to England and Australia.
