8:30 I don't buy it. They say we "have" to increase population because Canada has an aging population? Why? What wpuld happen if we don't? Increased quality of life? More affordable cost of living? Workers actually being valued and needed instead of competing for not even enough jobs? Oooh, so scary.
Whatever they thought would happen, I don't see how it could have been worse than what we have now. How is getting millions of Tim Hortons and Walmart workers helping the aging population? It doesn't. The explanations don't make sense.
9:25 bs!!! How could they possibly think this? Their position is that since there was a population explosion in the 40's, now every future generation has to explode their population as well, or else there will be too many old people? Come on. It's too ridiculous to take seriously. Now since the rate isn't the same as the 40's they decide let's just import from countries that are massively over populated.... and become more like them. Like... NO!!! This is not what I want from life or for our world.
Critiques the government's population growth rationale and immigration policy logic, expressing skepticism about stated justifications and demographic concerns.

Well, you have new private schools that’s profit driven or just there to help getting around the loophole. This just hangs a black cloud over legitimate people that comes here.

Unplanned immigration policy of present government is causing problems like employment housing and also in some extent in culture.
* Government is not encouraging entrepreneurs in creating labor oriented manufacturing companies. Companies those employing more labor should be less taxed. BYE CANADIAN Only. HI TAX for imported goods.
* Build thousands condominiums by government and rent them to low income people. Decentralized from major cities.
* Lower the TAX like USA
* Implement Health insurance like USA. Easy Medical loan who needed.
* Women should be encouraged to take babies and raise kids for population growth. Increase child benefits and handsome pregnancy award to give birth. Maternity benefits for 3 years.
* Culture is freedom of choice on one hand and it should be practiced in private places or in closed boundaries. There should not be any national culture or majority culture. All should respect each other and don't try to impose anything to others. So no public display or disturbances by culture issues.
* Omitting bilingual system of English French. It's very stupidity. In office or workplaces ONLY English Please. Quebec only French. Not both. Government language only English. In private places you speak anything but outside only English. It could be broken English but English. It's important.
The solutions are in front of us, government don't want to act
Comprehensive critique of government immigration and economic policy with detailed alternative proposals across multiple domains.

The reason Indians migrate to the west is because it is cleeeeaaaan. Secondly, it’s ordered. No one goes about acting kingshit. He’d land in jail. The reason it become shitty is because the immigrants don’t understand how this place works and they destroy what attracted them to the place.

For _years_, thoughtful and well-meaning people have been showing the evidence that massive over-immigration was detrimental to Canada.
They were rewarded by being called r-ists and xenophobes.
Turns out that, actually, they were right.
Canada needs, right now, a 100% moratorium on all immigration for at least three years to allow infrastructure and health care to catch up. After that, a very slow and gradual increase to maximim 1% current population levels, with a strict focus on STEM and health care grads. Not their parents and grandparents and great aunts.
And if any of them breaks the Canadian criminal code, they are deported within 24 hours.
Primarily critiques immigration policy and proposes specific regulatory changes (moratorium, caps, deportation rules), with secondary identity framing about being vindicated against accusations of xenophobia.

The government is useless I can't believe you guys allow this🤦🏽♀️So what is Canada to you guys? Your pockets??💰 These people already have a home there's no need for them to bring their home. There's nothing wrong with practicing in your home. If the tables were to turn if Canadians came to do the same to their country they would flip. Which is easy for the Muslim to do the same 🤔 All they're doing is setting an example by teaching their children to hate even more. Segregation, dominance, and arrogance is not the way in Canada. Every Nation comes here just as they come here as well too. If they miss their home so bad go back!!! No need for this terrible 😔
Criticizes government immigration policy while asserting Canadian cultural identity and expressing concern about cultural segregation and integration.
