My neighbour is a high skilled import for a Canadian job. Now he still lives in Canada but works remote for a US organization and he still isn’t a citizen. Something smells fishy, huh.
I’m a high skilled Canadian but couldn’t find permanent work after a layoff in 2015. Funny how in my contract roles I constantly work alongside so many new arrivals that find work 2 months after they get here. I’m sure $$ in wages and subsidies were involved.
Commenter shares lived experience of job-seeking difficulties while observing immigrants finding work quickly, implying systemic unfairness without explicit evidence.

As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??
First-person account from an American expressing shock and dismay at their leader while defending Americans and expressing alliance with Canada.

As an American, I hate this administration and I feared this all coming. I don’t want to be here, and I fought and voted against this in every way I could. After this horrendous week, the only solution I can see moving forward is to leave the country I once considered home.\n\nThank you for speaking the truth. The majority of the American people don’t want this, and the few who think they do aren’t understanding the reality of what’s happening.
First-person account of an American's distress with the current administration and consideration of leaving the country, expressing gratitude for Trudeau's stance.

As a Canadian, I am heartbroken that America is no longer our ally. The trust lost and gains that were there in the past are likely never going to return.

As for the driving I was on my way home with my tow truck and was making a left. The woman behind me thought passing me on the left was a good idea(I was mid turn). This woman turns around and said it’s my fault. Ummmmmm. My dash cam says otherwise. My truck opened her car up like a tuna can 🤣🤣
First-person account of a driving incident with humorous tone (emoji use, 'tuna can' metaphor), though the relevance to Canadian immigration is unclear.

Look at the government spending on illegals migrants is shocking. Immigrants come to Canada withlot of hardship. Language, assetts, qualifications, experience etc.etc. We did not come by just walking. After landing in Canada we were not given resources to live here. Nothing at all. BIG ZERO. Jobs were not given so easily like the illegals entering the country.
Contrasts personal immigrant experience with current policy, criticizing government spending on undocumented migrants.

I do love canada and its culture. Even as a immigrant I had a blessing to be in a country that welcomed people. Now its getting to worst part of being that welcoming. In recent years I have seen and felt the humiliation I even faced even after becoming PR of this country. That jobless problem is real, very real. PM carney has to do something really serious real fast or I don’t wanna say it, you got it by now. Tc fellas.

Brother JamCan, this whole thing was predictable decades ago! I got to Canada in 1995 right after hell unfolded in the country of a thousand hills! I saw with my own eyes & felt from personal experience how great my adopted country was! However, not everything was rosy! I saw and experienced the "not-in-your-face" anti-black racism, whether politically, socially, and most def in the employment market! At the same time, the establisment (read white folks) was busy encouraging & promoting east indians to take up leadership roles in all spheres of the society, thus making them the "model minority" in the country! This mess was bound to happen, and in the end, this is what got us here! My feeling is that white canada is totally responsible for this, and they should stop crying on TV, roll up their sleeves, and clean up the mess! Peace Out!
Commenter shares lived experience as an immigrant since 1995, describing personal encounters with racism and systemic patterns, framed as a moral critique of institutional responsibility.
