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.

time to stop listening to the apoligists for mass immigrtion, and start listening to the people of Canada. Neo-liberal mass immigration policies have exploited Canadians support for immigration to implement such a broken, destructive immigration policy that Canadians support for immigration was exhausted and then inverted. This is entirely the fault of the mass immigration zealots who prioritized vast numbers over every rational consideration like housing capacity, healthcare capacity, community safety, and social cohesion, These policies have turned Canada from a society highly supportive of immigration into a society outraged by the utter failure of government to vett immigrants, remove criminals or plan to provide services that correlate with the number of immigrants.
Extended critique of neo-liberal mass immigration policies, arguing they have failed on housing, healthcare, and social cohesion grounds, with underlying fear of societal breakdown.

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

They should make it so immigrants are legally required to go to a school to integrate with the culture of the country they are going too.

1 million of those from India. Unbelievable what Trudeau did to the country by bolstering immigration programs that systemically dislodged and displaced Canadian citizens from their jobs. Maybe too little too late now.

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.

On point! He should be back as Minister of IRCC. He understands that people are gaming the system. Canada’s immigration system is being exploited by many international students, temporary workers, illegal immigrants, and even tourist visa holders. IRCC is now granting repeated extensions on tourist visas. Why are they allowing these extensions? What are these individuals expected to do in Canada for years? Many tourist visa holders have been in Canada for several years — not necessarily because they refuse to leave, but because IRCC keeps extending their status. Some of these individuals end up working illegally, taking jobs from Canadian youth and citizens, and adding pressure to the housing market. The increasing numbers of asylum claimants, international students, temporary work permit holders, tourist visa holders, and undocumented individuals are placing strain on Canada and its citizens. IRCC needs to strictly follow the law and enforce regulations. If not, Canada’s immigration system will continue to be exploited, and abusive individuals or even criminals could find it easier to enter the country.
Detailed critique of IRCC policies and immigration system exploitation, arguing for stricter enforcement and regulation of various visa categories.

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.

You suspend the parliament… copy everything from the opposition leader, and do the cut and paste into your speech. \n\nHow can Canada still have you as a legitimate Prime Minister at this moment?\n\nThe reason you are there to speak at this toned is because you know that you are not going to be elected next, and this is your dying moment and you try to be bold and a hero. \n\nShame on you … shame on you.
Accuses Trudeau of plagiarism, suspending parliament, and acting out of desperation; combines procedural criticism with moral condemnation of his legitimacy.

Unfortunately this is what Trump does. Pretend there’s a problem, cause chaos in an attempt to ‘fix’ it, then claim he’s fixed it without doing anything meaningful and just backpedaling to the way things were. \n\nIt’s worked domestically because his voter base is in a media bubble. But internationally, it’s just foolishness.
Analyzes Trump's policy approach as ineffective and contrasts domestic vs. international consequences, critiquing governance strategy.

Making Indigenous languages official in Canada faces struggles due to the deep, ongoing impact of colonization (residential schools, assimilation policies), the sheer number of endangered languages (over 70), lack of constitutional protection like English/French have, funding gaps, and challenges implementing legislation like the Indigenous Languages Act effectively, despite strong community efforts for revitalization. The core issue is moving beyond mere documentation to ensuring effective support for daily use, education, and government services, a goal hindered by historical trauma and systemic neglect.  Key Struggles & Challenges: Colonial Legacy: Policies like the Indian Act and residential schools suppressed languages, causing massive loss, with trauma still affecting intergenerational transmission. Constitutional Gap: Unlike English and French, Indigenous languages lack explicit, strong constitutional rights (e.g., in the Charter) for government services, as noted in this article from indigenouswatchdog.org. Urgency & Scarcity: Most of Canada's 70+ Indigenous languages are endangered, with many facing imminent extinction, requiring immediate action from the last fluent elders. Implementation of Legislation: The Indigenous Languages Act (2019) aims to support revitalization, but it's criticized for being non-binding and not creating effective rights, meaning legal recognition doesn't always translate to real-world resources or services. Funding & Resource Gaps: While funding exists, it's often insufficient, limited in scope, or not reaching grassroots efforts effectively, making comprehensive revitalization difficult. Integration Challenges: Integrating Indigenous languages into education (K-12, higher ed) and public services (health, justice) remains a significant hurdle, even where there's political will, as seen in territories with official Indigenous languages.
Detailed analysis of Indigenous language policy failures, constitutional gaps, and implementation challenges with historical context.

Instead of standing down, the Canada PM decided to impose 25% tariffs on its own people just to combat a war with the USA instead of mending their relationship and fight the fentanyl crisis together.
