Alberta is a province. Immigration to Canada is a federal responsibility. If Alberta wants to compete for those workers, they will need to improve public services, and assure workers are paid enough to afford to live there. Alberta is an expensive place to live. I know that from experience. Alberta also benefits from the education and investments made by Canada. And Alberta benefits from the pipeline that Justin Trudeau forced through. SO STOP WHINING. AND stop sounding so much like trumpler the king of Kraznovia.
Detailed critique of Alberta's complaints about federal immigration policy, arguing the province has other responsibilities and benefits.

What do you suspect mass immigration equals mass crime my thanks to the liberal government never will I vote for the liberals again. They are ruining Canada . Prices have risen with no end in sight and yet immigration gets housing and money from the government, while seniors get a small pension young people with children are struggling. The government has lost its priorities giving our tax dollars away. Mark Carney is not a politician. He’s a banker. The liberals have to go.
Combines criticism of government immigration policy with economic concerns about housing and pensions, framed as government misallocation of resources.

Established systems honed with years of experience and court decisions are very vulnerable to moronic politicians like Justin Trudeau. The liberals wanted to import more voters who would be so grateful for the opportunity to come to Canada they would vote liberal. The liberals wanted to promote their woke, “save the planet” doctrine no matter what the consequences. That way Justin, the self-righteous airhead, could deliver his famous word salad speeches telling people how magnanimous he was opening our doors to every creep, loser, terrorist, thief and freeloader other countries were trying to get rid of. They came by the thousands. We’ll never be rid of them.
Extensive criticism of Liberal immigration policy, combining partisan attack, demographic anxiety, and claims about voter manipulation.

It’s about damn time immigration officers do their damn job. They should’ve started 10 years ago and don’t give them a raise because they haven’t done anything for 10 years and now they’re starting to work they will be looking far a raise.

I believe that there needs to be less mass migration and it needs to be more controlled. Multicultural nations historically do not remain stable, think of Yugoslavia or Austria-Hungary, it’s already been shown by how Quebec doesn’t really want to be a part of Canada. I am especially against foreign cultures consolidating into one area such as Brampton or Ontario as a whole, Canada is a white country and white people should remain at least 75% of the population or else things start going downhill.
Argues for stricter immigration controls and expresses demographic anxiety about cultural consolidation and racial composition, framed as policy analysis.
