Peope dont realise this but there is no stopping immigration in Canada. The stock market anticipates huge immigration as it is the only feasible path towards growing corporate profits. If we dont have huge immmigration, the purchasing power of boomers, derived from a booming market and real estate market, will lead to massive inflation as labor shortages occur. There is nothing we can do to stop this. Boomers are going to vote Liberal and liberals will continue to flood the country with third world immigrants who cook, clean, drive, caretake, etc. Millenials and gen Z are the ones who will never own a home or start a family. And ironically the low birth rate will lead to even more immigration. I suspect that Canada will be primarily asian and african by 2060.
Presents a causal chain linking immigration to economic outcomes (stock market, housing, inflation) with unsubstantiated claims about demographic projections and generational impacts.

Good. Canada does not have enough jobs for its own. All those people unemployed & on social assistance can now take those jobs given to foreigners - especially with minimum wage being so high now. Employers need to employ people within, not outside the country!!!! All these jobs held by foreigners are draining Canada of $$$ because they are not putting their earnings back into the economy, they are sending it back home. Whereas, Canadians invest right back into our own economy. We buy & invest in Canada.
Makes economic arguments about job competition and claims that foreign workers drain Canada's economy by sending earnings abroad without evidence.

Canada needs to start enforcing on a mass scale. They’re complaining how much it cost to deport illegals but it’s way cheaper than all the social and welfare services they get if they remain here

Argues that deportation costs are justified because undocumented immigrants consume more in social services than deportation expenses, framing immigration as an economic burden.
