Nobody is talking about all the babies being born with these immigrant couples and families. Canadian young people are deciding not to have children because sadly they can't afford them. Meanwhile immigrants are using our over burdened medical fiasco while our children and tax payers work non stop supporting them! More babies, bigger accommodations, support, child tax credits, extra necessities, vehicles, even friggin credit cards paid by us.
Focuses on economic burden of immigration (healthcare, benefits, housing costs) while expressing demographic anxiety about Canadian birth rates and taxpayer strain.

Claims immigrants receive government funding unavailable to Canadians, framing immigration as economically unfair; the specific claim about $500,000 is likely exaggerated or false.

If Trump wants less expensive eggs from Canada, think again. Canada should impose a 25% tariff on eggs if that has not happened yet.

😑Housing crisis - they are a BIG reason for this. >>> Mortgage fraud - Watch the CDC report. They flooded Canada, try to snatch up all the houses through fraud and to rent out as rooming houses. This reduces available properties, and prices skyrocket. When you have tens of THOUSANDS of people in ONE community doing this, why are you scratching your head that there's a housing crisis?
Canada flung open the door to people from the scam capital of the world, and now when Canadian kids are polled, they're saying they're giving up on buying a house! Disaster.
Now, to fix the problem, you have to reduce their numbers to reduce demand, but reducing demand reduces home prices, so what about all those people who bought at inflated prices? Many homeowners are losing their shirts.
So now, to fix the problem, Canadians are enduring GENERATIONAL financial damage, that will take decades to fix, and some people may never recover from it.
I'm not against immigrants, but this particular group has devastated Canada with their greed and corruption.
Focuses on housing market impacts and economic consequences of immigration, with unsubstantiated claims about mortgage fraud and demographic targeting that constitute misinformation.

How the heck did you become a multi-millionaire? Canadians are OVERTAXED, so yes you SHOULD be worried about tariffs and you resigned. Make that make sense. When its all over-it will make clear sense.

Whatever happened to private insurance? If they can’t afford to look after themselves, bill their governments. We are subsidizing foreign governments that are happy their populations are our problem now.
