Richmond Hill and Scarborough in Ontario and Richmond in BC are largely Asian
Woodstock ON is largely Italian
So, when the Canadian government (particularly a drama teacher turned prime minister) allowed and gave LEGAL VISA's to thousands of economic migrants from India with no questions asked, what responsibility and accountability do Canadian voters demand from their own governments - both federal and provincial?
While it's easy to videotape borderline racism and bigotry directed at immigrants from any one background or national origin (which is understandable btw), why not go interview videotape Sean Fraser and others like him who allowed (and signed off) this to occur in the first place? See what nuggets of wisdom you get from your own government perhaps.
Critiques government immigration policy and accountability, with identity assertions about ethnic concentration in cities and a call to interview government officials.

Canadian colleges and universities international student department would have the records of all students who were processed through that institution-but did not show up for the studies just showed up inside of Canada.

Identifies a systemic gap in student visa enforcement and questions why institutions don't track no-shows.

If Quebec wants to end that program, that is they choose. However, you can't just offer something like that then cut it off with no warning. Those who are in it should be grandfathered in, or at least given the opportunity to be grandfathered in. And then end the program. Just cutting it off like that is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, that's something the americans would do. We are not americans, we are not nazi terrorists like them.
Criticizes abrupt program termination as unfair and unethical, advocating for grandfathering existing participants while supporting program closure.
