Most Canadians are not against immigration. We just took too many immigrants in there wasn’t enough places for them to live. It wasn’t fair to them or the people living here. Things had to change. It’s not that we don’t want people coming. It’s just that we have no housing housing has to increase by millions of unitsand we were in the process of doing that right now.
Focuses on housing shortage and infrastructure capacity as the core issue driving immigration reduction, framed as fairness to both groups.

It's a lie a company can't find Canadian workers. Companies get half the wages for a newcomer employee reimbursed by the federal government. Paid to hire foreigners instead of Canadian born.

This is the system: Student immigrates to Canada on a student Visa, gets a Diploma which they use to get a Post-Graduation Work Permit, this is used to get Permanent Residence (PR). After 3 years apply for Citizenship, which makes it easier to bring their parents into Canada. Those parents apply for PR, then wait 3 years, after which they can also apply for Citizenship. If they are 55+ years old, they don't need to take the test or prove they can speak the English. They just apply and get become Citizens. All of this while enjoying the benefits of a Socialized Healthcare, Old Age Pension after 65+, Canada Child Benefit paid to parents with kids under 18, and more. This is not a sustainable economic model, we WILL run out of money. Technically we already have 😂
Detailed critique of immigration pathways focused on economic sustainability and fiscal burden claims.

The threat to “not buy USA made” is hilarious. 70% of our GDP is consumer spending. We don’t make things, we BUY things. Losing a customer like the US is very bad for business.
