The cuts to temporary foreign workers, refugees, and other immigrants do not go near far enough. Maximum number allowed, in total, should be no more than 60,000, laser focused on STEM and medical grads.

Immigration of any kind should be suspended for at least 1 year in order to fix the system and deal with the mess created by the Liberals over the last 11 years.

Process the people who are here legally and give our systems time to fix issues created by the Failed Liberal Immigration Policy.
Criticizes Liberal immigration policy and calls for suspension of immigration and deportation of undocumented immigrants to fix systemic issues.

Look at our crime rate. Has Canada offered any statistics on Immigrant Crime rates?

I thought this guy put his resignation forever ago I guess that was a joke? I find it funny that Canada is so strong and fighting back but their people are already fighting to just eat everyday and trying to get to the food bank everyday! You would think the the Pm would be more focused on helping his people then he is about helping and standing with Ukraine, pretty soon he won’t have any people to fight for!
Criticizes government priorities, arguing the PM should focus on domestic economic hardship (food banks) rather than international commitments.

Thank you for showcasing this city. Brampton has long been the armpit of Peel Region, and the cause of many of the rest of our issues. The new entitled migrants that come here spill out into other areas of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) spreading the crime and loitering, and essentially "taking over" certain places and causing massive issues. Our Car insurance rates in Peel are insanely high, primarily because of Brampton also being a part of Peel, and the high accident and theft rates coming out of that city.
We have a massive issue here in Canada with unchecked mass immigration, and we don't see do be doing anything about removing the people who have overstayed their welcome, aswell as an issue with letting the new population move only to the same already developed places, overpopulating those areas that never had the infrastructure to support those numbers of people. Especially the households that are housing more families than just their own, the people who arent citizens that are clogging up our healthcare systems, all the jobs taken up by the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the lack of openings in universities and colleges because of international students. Its unbelievable how much they take advantage of the system.
Extensive critique of immigration policy and system failures, mixed with unverified claims about crime/overstaying and fear-based framing of demographic change.

Immigration technically is an asset for a country like Canada, however the open door policy turned that asset into a liability. When you have a migrant community congregate into ghetto like fashion, you know your policy has failed somewhere. Psychologically speaking human would naturally gravitate towards people they have similarities(language, color, likes & dislikes, etc) with and congregate as a "tribe" for warmth & security. Just put one white person alone in the middle of an Indian market at rush hour, i promise you they'd run to the first white person they spot for "security", now tell that one guy that he has to live in India for the foreseeable future and that he has a choice of living in any area of that city and he learns that there a part of town where most of the white people live, where do you think he'll go?
Analyzes immigration policy as having failed, critiquing 'open door policy' while acknowledging natural human clustering behavior with psychological reasoning.

Having a community with lots of indians isn't the problem. The problem is with people with fake student visas and taking advantage of people whom is seeking job opportunities and government benefits, while evading taxes
