While Canadians argue on social media about immigrants, corporations raise profits, housing collapses, and wages stay frozen. Public anger is pushed downward, never upward.

Not that an issue in Canada. Some on the extreme right are playing the racism angle. What happened was too many people were allowed in the country in a short period of time, putting strain on services and employment. This was done during pandemic when labor was issue and with universities and colleges when tuition was frozen, and they set that with foreign students who were not qualified financially to study abroad and did it more for permanent residency.
Nuanced critique distinguishing between legitimate service/employment strain and false racism narratives, analyzing specific policy implementation failures.

So many Trudeau Liberal supporters here. \n\nSo now people suddenly forget the damage he's done to Canada the last 10 years and think he's a good leader again? What a shame.

If you come to canada, seeking asylum, or immigrating, they should all be required to work day 1, Healthcare, fine, handouts no. Welfare no. Work. Like my family when they immigrated. All the government needs to do is set up programs with farmers, or any industry to provide worker spots. Fed Government can either top up(not preferred) or like the good old days require an employer to provide lodging, for a nominal rate, towards their total income paid(3 square included). My and countless other families/ people had to enter the country that way, and it worked. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Draws on family immigration experience to critique current welfare policies and propose work-based alternatives.

The issue is not an influx of any particular culture, nationality, or race. The issue is a lack of prosecution for immigration infractions. If you are in Canada legally, you have every right to be made to feel as welcome as any other Canadian. If you have overstayed a visa, or do not have legal cause to be here, deportation on your own dollar.
Critiques immigration enforcement policy, arguing the problem is lack of prosecution for infractions rather than immigration levels themselves.

Trump is right about one thing and that is immigration. We destroyed our country through immigration. We can blame the liberals but Canadians are the ones that voted them in and we continue to vote them in! These people didn't even land on our shores on dinghy like in some parts of the world. We welcomed them in with all these loopholes. It's truly disgusting.
