Yes we need more immigrants due to our low birth rate but we should not be lowering our standards and import the world’s poor.

I don't hate the immigrants themselves, but the way our country handles immigration. I'll be the first to admit it's getting harder to keep those two things separate. What compounds that hate is since I've been looking at moving out of this country... it's disheartening that most countries (rightfully so) make you have to be able to both assimilate and afford to fend for yourself to get a immigrants visa. And I guess Canada isn't enough of a shithole to get refugee status... yet. Like many Canadians now, I'm living cheque to cheque to make ends meet. So not only do I hate it here, but am essentially trapped. Next time you want to get pissed off at an immigrant, save it for a Liberal. It's a good chance he/she will be one in the same anyways.
Primarily critiques Canada's immigration policy and handling while contrasting it with other countries' standards, supplemented by personal economic struggle and lived experience.

Critiques government policy for creating division and redistributing resources to immigrants, framing it as unfair to citizens who contributed.

Yeah, keep putting more taxes on everything. Keep taxing income and property that has already been taxed. Then act surprised when the fertility rate drops that low! So then you bring in migrants who will reproduce like crazy. Then you need to collect even more taxes, robbing your hard-working population to provide for them, and you get even more surprised. But of course, you know exactly what you're doing. Those low-quality migrants are your future voters. That's why your asses in the government seats aren't going to be replaced anytime soon. Good job, liberals! Just remember, the branch you're sawing off now is the one you're sitting on. Your fall is inevitable; it's only a matter of time.
Critiques taxation and government immigration policy while expressing fears about demographic replacement and economic burden on citizens.

Jeez dread, Canada needs to do something quick, I'm seeing tis shit all over and it going to be a real mess if they don't fix it fast. Change the laws and force these people to adhere to the culture and laws, take away some one their rights, start by taking away their rights to practice their culture in public, stop their protesting, they are immigrants and should behave like a lifelong guest, deport them without question if they fail to assimilate.
Demands policy changes (change laws, force assimilation, deportation) while framing immigrants as a threat requiring urgent action and asserting cultural hierarchy.

How are immigrants to blame for all of Canadas problems?? If anyone is to blame, it’s the Canadian government and the elbows up Canadians themselves who voted for them

2 billion spent on someone else’s war. While laid off thousands of employees and public service due to low budget. There is no one to help local businesses. No service. 👏. Carney is not Capable.

Lots of hating on J Trudeau here but Harper is the one that drastically expanded the temporary foreign worker programme. And he subsidized it so said workers only had to be paid 75% of minimum wage by the company hiring them while the gvmnt paid the rest. Companies literally pay less than min for tfws and the government pays the rest. That's why they are prioritized. Harper did this. Trudeau made it worse. Pollivere would not have stopped it. The current government will only expand it. Minor parties are being sidelined, bribed, or otherwise shit down across the political spectrum. NDP sold out long ago. Bloc don't care as long as the aliens pretend to speak French as much as they pretend to speak English. There is no democratic solution.
Provides detailed critique of temporary foreign worker programs across multiple governments, comparing their approaches and subsidization practices.
