All are selfish people in the world! That's why any opportunity for the job first gets hard-working people. All white people are also immigrants in history. white people think 'indian don't pay any tax' fuck of, we pay more compared to you and get less services.
Defends Indian immigrants' economic contributions by claiming they pay more taxes and receive fewer services than white Canadians, countering stereotypes.

And these Muslims talk about how they are having babies and we are not. We are not having babies because we have to work to pay for them having their babies for their hospitals bills.

Finland stands with Canada. Ordinary American citizens will pay the tariffs imposed by Trump as increased prices in stores and inflation will start to rise in the United States.

They made it so we can't have kids, then the gov subsidizes CORPSorations with our money so that CANADIANS don't get hired. D E P O R T. Enough is enough. I know many LEGAL immigrants, friends, who get the concept of assimilation and why. I'd NEVER go to another country and expect special treatment or rights. This isn't going to end well.
Focuses on economic grievances (hiring, subsidies, cost of living) while invoking assimilation expectations and deportation demands.

It's completely destroying the Canadian youth employment, aswell. Corporations are being incentivized by the Canadian government to hire temporary foreign workers so our youth unemployment rates have gone up to 15%+. Walk into a McDonald's, Taco Bell, Tim Hortons, etc, and you'll see nothing but Indians or Bangladeshis who barely speak English.
In small towns you don't really see this, but in any major city like Vancouver or GTA you will.
The comment focuses on youth unemployment and job displacement due to temporary foreign workers, with anecdotal observations presented as evidence of economic harm.

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.
