time to stop listening to the apoligists for mass immigrtion, and start listening to the people of Canada. Neo-liberal mass immigration policies have exploited Canadians support for immigration to implement such a broken, destructive immigration policy that Canadians support for immigration was exhausted and then inverted. This is entirely the fault of the mass immigration zealots who prioritized vast numbers over every rational consideration like housing capacity, healthcare capacity, community safety, and social cohesion, These policies have turned Canada from a society highly supportive of immigration into a society outraged by the utter failure of government to vett immigrants, remove criminals or plan to provide services that correlate with the number of immigrants.
Extended critique of neo-liberal mass immigration policies, arguing they have failed on housing, healthcare, and social cohesion grounds, with underlying fear of societal breakdown.

common sense, If an individual has been found to have a bogus claim, then deport them.

Canada used to have one of the strictest immigration systems in the world. We need to get back to that system where immigrants were vetted for years before earning citizenship. It's like Trudeau saw what Biden was doing and then said "Hold my White Claw!"
Critiques current immigration policy as too lenient compared to Canada's historical system, with comparative reference to US policy.

An intelligent government would match immigration numbers to housing. But that's what happens when you vote for the least intelligent government of all time.

Are these guys pretending or for real that they have no clue why liberals act that way? No need to have a lamp in daylight to figure this out: importing votes. This is liberal party business model how to stay in power and keep control. Who gives a rat ass about the rest,really? Sucked up and elbows are all the way to a promised land of diversity and inclusion.
Critiques Liberal Party immigration policy as motivated by electoral gain while framing it as identity-based control.

If I hear the two words, “Canada’s Generosity” one more time, I will puke. This is really about “Canada’s Stupidity”, if you ask any tax payer, or anyone else with a brain. Giving benefits to fraudsters, and cheats, that tax paying Canadians don’t even receive or cannot afford is pure criminal behaviour.
Criticizes government policy on immigrant benefits as unfair compared to Canadian taxpayers, framing it as criminal behavior.

Liberals don't see migrants as a problem because they fall back on the reality that Canada was built with the help of immigrants. But that was a long time ago. It was a different situation completely. There needed to be people brought in to build, plant and develop the country at that time. We are no longer in need of mass migration as we already have a developed country. I wonder how many of the liberals would change their positions if the policy was, if you want a new migrant to come into Canada you have to pay for them out of your own paycheques and if you don't want a new migrant you don't have to pay. Pretty sure, very few people would want to pay when it is put that way but we are ALL forced to pay to cover that tab.
Critiques liberal immigration policy by arguing historical context has changed and proposes an alternative funding mechanism to challenge the current approach.

Making Indigenous languages official in Canada faces struggles due to the deep, ongoing impact of colonization (residential schools, assimilation policies), the sheer number of endangered languages (over 70), lack of constitutional protection like English/French have, funding gaps, and challenges implementing legislation like the Indigenous Languages Act effectively, despite strong community efforts for revitalization. The core issue is moving beyond mere documentation to ensuring effective support for daily use, education, and government services, a goal hindered by historical trauma and systemic neglect.  Key Struggles & Challenges: Colonial Legacy: Policies like the Indian Act and residential schools suppressed languages, causing massive loss, with trauma still affecting intergenerational transmission. Constitutional Gap: Unlike English and French, Indigenous languages lack explicit, strong constitutional rights (e.g., in the Charter) for government services, as noted in this article from indigenouswatchdog.org. Urgency & Scarcity: Most of Canada's 70+ Indigenous languages are endangered, with many facing imminent extinction, requiring immediate action from the last fluent elders. Implementation of Legislation: The Indigenous Languages Act (2019) aims to support revitalization, but it's criticized for being non-binding and not creating effective rights, meaning legal recognition doesn't always translate to real-world resources or services. Funding & Resource Gaps: While funding exists, it's often insufficient, limited in scope, or not reaching grassroots efforts effectively, making comprehensive revitalization difficult. Integration Challenges: Integrating Indigenous languages into education (K-12, higher ed) and public services (health, justice) remains a significant hurdle, even where there's political will, as seen in territories with official Indigenous languages.
Detailed analysis of Indigenous language policy failures, constitutional gaps, and implementation challenges with historical context.

Because the liberals allow it. Corporations love the influx of cheap disposable labor. Best part is that so many people have this idea that voting liberal is voting for The Good Guys. Feels so good to virtue signal and then complain how you struggle to feed your kids while corporations have been making record profits year after year.
Criticizes liberal government policy on immigration while framing it as economically motivated by corporate interests in cheap labor.

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.
Critiques Trump's tariff policy as motivated by self-interest and wealth redistribution, with moral condemnation of inequality.
