The 'invasion' bit refers to latin americans. Moderately inconvenienced Canadians will get over it, i'm sure.

That's the Liberal government for you. Promise you the moon to get your vote, and then do the rug-pull. They do this to homegrown Canadians too.

This is perfect step from USA. When you say "Canadian", you need to understand and admit that the composition of "Canadian population" has changed substantially over the past few years.
