Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.
Critiques Canada's foreign policy alignment with the US regarding Russia and China, framing it as dependent rather than independent decision-making.

India has 1.4+ billion people — more than all of Europe combined. Migration pressure is global. Blaming Indians is lazy. Blame a stupid government, led by Justin Trudeau, that ignored planning, housing, and wages — and learned nothing from Europe’s mistakes.
Critiques Canadian government policy failures (planning, housing, wages) while contextualizing migration as a global phenomenon, rejecting scapegoating of India.

If we actually want solutions, we should be talking about things like real-time tracking for overstays, linking federal/provincial systems, funding enforcement properly, and setting penalties that are predictable and enforced. Bring in experts not random paper pushers for “gotcha” moments. Sessions like this aren’t about fixing the system, they’re about stoking outrage. And more often than not, it ends up targeting vulnerable groups instead of creating policy that actually works.
Detailed critique of government immigration enforcement systems and policy implementation, arguing for evidence-based solutions over performative outrage.

I love the direct democracy comparison because yeah, having a referendum on only issues that Mrs. Smith thinks are important makes you just like Switzerland! Why don't you have a referendum on your rate of pay and the pension you will receive, as a politician, Mrs. Smith? How about you have a referendum about the US-style health insurance you want to introduce? Or how about you have a referendum on the style of democracy you have and ask people if they want a true direct-democracy and let them be able to have a vote on any issue or law, at any time? Yeah, I didn't think so...
Uses sarcasm and rhetorical questions to critique selective direct democracy implementation and politician self-interest in policy design.

If they work, file their taxes, don't siphon the system and talk to me in English then I do not care what they do in their own time. On the contrary, I wish them the best. Those who do not contribute to society and merely leech off of it are the true dregs. That applies the same to a white man with needles harassing people under a bridge and a black man in a hoodie and mask robbing a convenience store (non-Indian stereotypes) as it does to any immigrant who hops the border and expects this country to fund their way. That said, there have been far too many immigrants in the last decade, regardless of origin. I've lived in my small town in BC for 37 years and somehow I cannot get a family doctor (I visit all of the local clinics annually and am on the provincial waiting list) while a lot of newer residents seem to have a doctor within months of moving here. I am glad I bought my house when I did, I would not be able to afford one today. I am not against legal immigration, just slow it down so the infrastructure can support it and properly vet those who apply. The system for deportment currently employed in the US is far too hastened and imperfect for my liking but the lack-of-a-system (or heck, acknowledgement) that this is even an issue by the current and previous Canadian governments is equally as concerning (arguably more, other folks can debate the politics of it).
Comprehensive critique of immigration policy pace and vetting procedures, with concerns about infrastructure capacity, healthcare access, and housing affordability.

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.

Another fact if a skilled immigrant like a Doctor come to Canada under a skilled immigrant program , apply wait in home country and gets his PR before coming.. the doc need to show funds to support him/her and the family. He/she gets shit from the Govt , the Doc has to spend his/her own money to get credentials recognized, go back to uni at own cost . While asylum seekers gets everything free doing shit all day.
Compares treatment of skilled immigrants versus asylum seekers, critiquing government policy for perceived unfairness in resource allocation and credential recognition.
