Discourse Analysis

Indian immigration significantly benefits Canada by filling critical labor shortages, boosting the economy, and contributing to demographic sustainability. As a leading source of skilled professionals, Indians represent over 30% of Canada's high-skill visas, notably in IT, healthcare, and engineering, which supports technological growth and public services. They help counter an aging population, bolster the workforce, and increase tax revenue, with over 120,000 Indians becoming permanent residents annually.

We have a serious unemployment crisis in this country that is particularly affecting young Canadians. The unemployment rate has been continuously going up over the last three years. It has now hit 7.1%, but the youth unemployment rate is really at catastrophic levels, at 14.5%. Many young people are desperately looking for jobs and are unable to find them.

25% tarrifs on both sides so all prices are just going up 25%

Based on the trade data, Canada would likely be in a worse position in a trade war with the United States. Here's why:\n\n1. Canada sends approximately 75% of its total exports to the US, while the US only sends about 18% of its exports to Canada. This creates a significant asymmetry in dependency.\n\n2. The US economy (around $27 trillion) is roughly 13 times larger than Canada's economy (about $2.1 trillion), giving the US more cushion to absorb economic shocks.\n\n3. he US typically runs a trade deficit with Canada (approximately $135 billion in goods in 2023), which means Canada sells more to the US than it buys, making Canadian producers more vulnerable to US tariffs.\n\n4. The US has more diversified export markets globally, while Canada is heavily reliant on the US market.\n\nThat said, a trade war would harm both countries:\n\n- Highly integrated supply chains, especially in automotive manufacturing, would be disrupted\n- Border regions in the US would face significant economic impacts\n- US consumers would face higher prices for Canadian goods (energy, raw materials)\n- Specific US industries dependent on Canadian inputs would face challenges\n\nWhile Canada would likely face more severe macroeconomic consequences, a trade war would ultimately be lose-lose, damaging industries and consumers on both sides of the border.

2% wage increase. 4% increase in food. 5% increase in rent. 3% increase in bus fares. 5 % increase in license registrations. So we make less then last year.

They help the economy man

$420 / 12 months = $35 ( NO HWLP WITH COST OF LIVING) food alone is going up at MUCH higher rate

The problem is these corporations wants huge profits by hiring cheap labor. Its not that there isn't domestic labour ready to work at a tire shop its what they are offering for it.

Canadians can’t find jobs stop importing cheap labour

2:55 If your economy relies on more and more people immigrating to your country, you don't have a good economy - you have a Ponzi Scheme.

if you only build 100 000 housing units a year, but you let in 250 000 people and their families members....the math doesnt add up. flood the cities with people you have destitution and homelessness.

PR here Tightening the immigration policies will ultimately bring down the costs of rent, so ultimately everyone wins out of this.

Canada imposes high tariffs on certain U.S. imports, particularly in the dairy sector. Under the supply management system, Canada tightly controls dairy production and imposes tariffs of up to 270% on some U.S. dairy products to protect its domestic farmers. This has been a long-standing trade issue between the two countries.

start training canadians, pay and living wage, and make the cost of living so actual canadians can have children. THERE IS NO LABOUR SHORTAGE, THERE IS A LIVING WAGE SHORTAGE

10 years. +3.6M permanent immigrants. Aging barely changed. Housing collapsed. Wages stagnated. Immigration didn’t fix Canada — it covered corporate greed.

They can't expect Canadians to have babies when the cost of living is so high . The cost of living is so high due to over taxation . And lack of housing . In my city, the only houses being built are houses that are worth 375 000 and up . How is a young couple able to afford a home, pay all the bills, buy groceries, own and maintain a vehicle, still afford to have children ? They can't ! We are fcked !!!

Immigration became a business model: • Corporations get cheap labor • Universities collect $37+ billion/year • Government inflates GDP & tax revenue Citizens get food banks, rent crisis, and stagnant wages.

Tarifs are taxes. If the US and Canada both increase taxes, the only loosers will be the American and the Canadian people. The States of both countries will be fine. They'll be even richer.
