Another fact if a skilled immigrant like a Doctor come to Canada under a skilled immigrant program , apply wait in home country and gets his PR before coming.. the doc need to show funds to support him/her and the family. He/she gets shit from the Govt , the Doc has to spend his/her own money to get credentials recognized, go back to uni at own cost . While asylum seekers gets everything free doing shit all day.
Compares treatment of skilled immigrants versus asylum seekers, critiquing government policy for perceived unfairness in resource allocation and credential recognition.

Canada has a huge problem with its policy on skilled programs. Any other developed country including Australia honour the preceding policy if the applicant arrived in the country before the program is closed or the policy is reversed. Canada does not. This is not just unethical but has a very negative impact on future immigration when levels do subside where our economy needs more immigrants.
Detailed critique of Canadian immigration policy compared to other countries, highlighting ethical and economic consequences of retroactive policy changes.

While Global News provides the stage, Danielle Smith delivers a masterclass in the St. Petersburg playbook, using a $60 oil dip to justify a referendum that reads like a manual for national collapse. It is impressive how she pivots from a $10,000 "vacation" at Mar-a-Lago to suddenly worrying about the "sustainability" of the very social services she’s busy undermining with tiered citizenship and constitutional power grabs. Most Canadians are either too polite to say it or too blinded by the flood of compromat to notice, but this isn't provincial leadership; it's a performative libertarian fantasy designed to fracture the federation while the RCMP and CSIS are left watching from the sidelines. Apparently, "taking back control" means handing the keys to whoever is currently whispering in her ear at a Florida golf club. It is high time we stopped pretending this regional arson is "direct democracy" and started calling it the sovereignty-shattering interference that it actually is.
Detailed critique of Premier Smith's immigration referendum as performative politics masking authoritarian power grabs and foreign interference.

Please don't believe this report. I am from Canada, This issue is not dividing us at all .

Defends public consensus on unsustainable immigration levels while critiquing the video's framing as cherry-picked.

To be honest this is something all political party’s from across the spectrum agree with in Canada at the moment, we literally have no housing . We the Canadian Tax payer have been footing rbe bill to keeo these immigrants/ refugees in rather nice 3/4 Hotles for the last few years . I’m a farmer who lives in the county but the closest city to where I live is Windsor and for the last 4 ish year the Government was hosting them in Five Hotel's across the city . It got to the point where it was cheaper for the government to BUY the hotels then rent all the rooms , so that’s what they did …
No I’m all for helping people but that is kinda pushing it don’t you think ? There are no jobs for them , no homes for them , etc . We have been in a trade war for the last 2 years with the two largest economies in the world and we need to focus our economic power on thous conflicts at the moment and if the world like it or not fighting that is out top priority and everything else comes second .Even with out that fact Our former government overloaded what our ability’s where capable of handling .
We have a pretty advanced social care network but these new folks who have never payed a dime into it and are living off of it for years with the government having no real plan on how to deal with it is just to much , with our with out the economic conflict we are currently in . The facts are the facts and we live in reality, anyways you guys all have a good one , cheers .
Detailed critique of government immigration and housing policy, with economic concerns about resource allocation and social services sustainability.

For someone who presents himself as a “journalist,” this is a deeply dishonest piece of work. The framing is not subtle: loaded titles, racial counting, selective locations, and deliberately uneven questioning all push the same conclusion. Immigrants are interrogated about their presence and legality, while others are invited to pass judgment on them. When racial stereotypes are voiced, you don’t challenge them — you laugh. That’s not an accident, and it’s not neutral.
You clearly understand that housing shortages, sanitation issues, and infrastructure strain are the result of policy failures and poor planning. Yet you repeatedly avoid those causes because blaming systems doesn’t generate clicks the way racial implication does. Reducing complex, structural problems to identity isn’t investigative — it’s lazy, cynical, and intellectually shallow.
When a city worker gives a grounded response that doesn’t fit the narrative you’re pushing, it’s brushed aside. When visuals can be used to imply blame, they’re highlighted. That pattern makes the “just asking questions” defense ring hollow. This isn’t exposing truth — it’s manufacturing outrage and calling it journalism. With your reach, that’s not just irresponsible, it’s embarrassing. You're not a journalist but just a racist. That's all
Detailed critique of journalistic methodology and framing bias, arguing the video manufactures racial outrage rather than addressing structural policy failures.

The birth rate slowed because of a corrupt Liberal government who priced everyone out of their homes. Canadians are not bringing new babies into a world when they are broke and taxed to death. We can't justify adding another mouth to feed when we can't afford to feed the mouths that are here now. And they are not importing to sustain the population....they are importing votes to stay in power. The Liberal mantra...."Fuck Canadians!!! Do what we need to do to stay in power". Immigrant to votes ratio is 1:1.
Critiques government policy on housing and immigration while making unverified claims about immigration being used for electoral advantage.

Like a true 'murican, tries to make a Canadian issue about their garbage state of a country. The real issue is LMIA scams and easy access to TFW. That's why every Tim Hortons fired all their current staff for Indian TFW, it's cheaper.
Focuses on specific policy mechanisms (LMIA scams, TFW programs) and their economic consequences (wage undercutting), with comparative framing against the US.

Looks like we’ve achieved to isolate ourselves from most of our allies, increase inflation, lay off thousands and possibly millions of people, all in less than a week. Very productive week, Mr. President.
