Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.
Criticizes government spending, taxes, and leadership legitimacy while framing the PM as unfit; includes identity-laden language ('globalist') suggesting us-vs-them framing.

Good balanced journalism. It showed the divide not just between those from india and others in Canada but the acceptance and community.
There are those that are taking advantage while there are many that are productive and positive members of the community.
The one common agreed upon idea is that canadian immigration needs to be tightened up so the posative people can get in and the people who would take advantage of or be criminals are kept outno matter what country they come from.
Commenter acknowledges balanced journalism and argues for tightened immigration policy to filter out criminals while accepting productive members, combining policy analysis with fairness principles.

Missing key facts here. India has the highest violations but also the highest representation amongst students. Because the fees these institutions are asking for can only be paid by Indian/Chinese parents. The real question is, is the proportion of the people who is dishonest is same in all international students regardless of their country or not? These people spends tonnes of money not for the non value diploma Canada offers but the chance of permanently staying in Canada and will be dishonest to make that happen.
Critiques institutional practices and student visa policies while comparing proportional dishonesty across nationalities, questioning whether selection bias or systemic incentives drive violations.

Canadian citizens cant even properly defend themselves against an intruder in their own home. This is the same government who didnt allow us to visit our sick family members. You think they care about us.
