So what it's costing taxpayers...what do you think gov't support of border hopping migrants, immigrants, and south asian business owners abusing the temp foreign worker program and milking it is doing...it's costing taxpayers a lot more than these deportations. Let's ramp up the deportations, let's ramp up stripping citizenship from new canadians convicted of federal crimes....
Argues that immigration and TFW program costs exceed deportation costs, calling for increased deportations and citizenship revocation as fiscal solutions.

I think there are many in this Country that are presently quite deluded. Here in BC they interviewed people on the News about what they thought was "important" and some said "Arts & Culture" and others said "Climate change" and another said " education"! But NO, NO the MOST Important is THE COST OF HOUSING & GROCERIES! 😢 WHEN are the AIRHEADS GOING TO WAKE UP???!!!
Criticizes public priorities, arguing housing and groceries costs are the most important issue, with implicit call for political attention.

Average Canadian home price as of Jan 2025 $720,000, 9 Years as Prime Minister before Trumps first term. People eating up the gibberish ad if he isnt a key figure why Canadas economy and living cost skyrocketed before trump. He couldn't even fix ut when Biden was in office.
Critiques the Prime Minister's economic record by citing housing prices and cost of living increases over his tenure.

That’s not near enough.. we need 500k for a couple years and maybe we won’t be considered Canindia, why is everyone worried about these people that should not be here, you see companies that hire only Indians from India, why is this you ask? subsidize workers? Tim Hortons, Knows. Brampton is now India. I am myself and my tradesmen and I’m disgusted with the amount of taxes that we all pay to subsidize the open border we have in this country. Why? Are we shipping in people that are just gonna get on welfare and provide nothing to this country why is our government still promoting our healthcare system and other countries in order to get people here for some reason our government is selling this country down the drain for some kind of political gain. Well, it’s all financial game but at some point it has to stop. We are the next UK.
Focuses on economic impacts (wages, subsidies, taxes, welfare) while making unverified claims about hiring practices and demographic change.

The great tragedy is that small town Canadian students who wish to seek opportunities in large cities, will never be able to afford to rent let alone buy… They are doomed to live in their small towns and hold on to small dreams… Here in Vancouver, the new immigrants wish to stay in and invest in large urban areas. They have extended family support to buy the real estate. Small-town Canadians don’t have a chance in this competition.
Contrasts economic opportunities for immigrants versus Canadian-born citizens in housing markets, framing immigration as creating unfair competition.
