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.

Sad thing about this video is that it solely puts all the blame on the immigrants and misses the big picture. Who let them in , for what purpose? Why not start with the liberal cabal of this nation? Why does Canada have a failed immigration system?
Critiques government policy and the immigration system, questioning decision-makers and systemic failures rather than blaming immigrants.

Blistering? Trudeau? Hardly. Petulant. Peevish. Snippety. Waspish. A weak argument from a weak leader. Tell me…why won’t Canada pay tariffs equal to what they charge the US? Do they expect an unfair advantage because they’re ‘less than’?
Criticism of Trudeau's leadership and argument quality, with comparative reference to tariff policy between nations.

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.

Accountability should fall on the Government of Canada. They stopped screening properly. There used to be a point system that determined who could immigrate, and it actually worked. I’m of Pakistani descent, born and raised here, and when I’m in Brampton and walk into a Circle K, people start speaking to me in Hindi or Punjabi right away — it’s a trip.
At the same time, I’m not saying everyone coming is bad. A lot of international students and new immigrants are hardworking people who want to build a better life. But plenty are also gaming the system. The real issue is that Canada messed up by letting in too many at once, with no structure to help them assimilate. When there’s no integration, no surprise people just act like they’re back home.
Detailed critique of government screening and integration policies, supported by personal experience and acknowledgment of nuance.

OK people, remember the last 9 years. He is the same guy who has ruined the country. Go ahead vote Liberal and the lies and graft and waste continue. He is an actor playing his role. No substance behind him. He is still the most hated and inefficient leader we have ever had.

This is a disaster of a video, poor and wrong info.
Its a poorly made video.
Quebec controls its own immigration, and it has different target amounts and is slight different from the rest of Canada
They don't explain that there are two different programs.
one for students
one for temporary workers (very new and is being phased out and going back to being a mostly agricultural temp worker program)
and one for everyone else.
the text showed said the girl is a temporary worker
when they also said she came as a student and graduated, and was working after graduation as part of the permit.
Also Quebec has its is own immigration programs that are slightly different from the rest of Canada
Detailed critique of video accuracy and policy explanation, pointing out omissions about Quebec's separate programs and permit categories.

My issue with immigration to Ontario and urban sprawl, is that this area is some of the most fertile farmland in Canada. The only part of Canada you can grow fruits profitably besides apples. If we are going to need immigration to support the elderly in retirement in Canada then we should at least build up and not give everyone a house. In highly populated areas like this more emphasis needs to be placed on high rise apartments to free up farmland. Immigrants pay a butload of taxes. It is a double edged sword.
Nuanced critique of urban sprawl and agricultural land use in context of immigration, acknowledging both tax contributions and infrastructure concerns.

How can one even measure the decrease in Fentanyl coming from Canada. Ridiculous excuse for creating a stupid trade war. What is the benefit of all these Tariffs, seems to be just downsides.

The first thing you absolutely need to do when you immigrate to a country that doesn't speak your language is to learn it. Period.

People think that a referendum is going to suddenly create policy change. That's simply not true. Think of a referendum more as an opinion poll. Governments use referendums to gauge public opinion but Does Not obligate them to follow the result. It's an illusion of change and not a binding agreement.
Analytical critique of how referendums function as non-binding opinion polls rather than enforceable policy mechanisms.
