Discourse Analysis

There is NO divide. Canadians overwhelmingly want less immigration. Only the business elite wants massive levels of immigration because they want cheap foreign labour.

Lets hope the grandfather clause goes through. I'm all for restricting immigration, but lets not kick everyone out and ruin their lives.

People want reduced numbers but dealing with existing temporary workers needs a just solution . Canada lacks the space. Two thirds of the population live within 62 miles of the US border! You go little north and life will be miserable and unbearable. —- PM Carney is a rational man. The numbers need to be managed. New entrants specially reduced, but I don’t know about those in the country already. It’s like they got hoodwinked.

Immigration is great when it's done the right way...We we have now is the BAD WAY.

Yeah, the majority here in Ontario are happy that the government is getting it under control, and unfortunately, the method is not fair. The missing parts of the report are: 1) the government has increased the number of permanent residency spots to convert temporary residents, but the increase is not proportionate. 2) The reason why we had an increase in temporary residents was because corporations (like Tim Horton's) lobbied the government to let in more temporary workers whom they can underpay and exploit, as the employees don't have as many rights. So now it is not surprising that they are lobbying against the changes.

JustinTrudeau has ruined our country and he couldn’t care less. An absolute narcissist to the max.

IMO France 24's reporting is a little confused on this issue. You're getting the perspective of 1) immigrants that have been denied a path to citizenship and 2) corporations that can't offer attractive wages to Canadians. We have far too many companies whose business model is that Canada should be a low-cost labour source, i.e. they've invested in a future supporting immigrants and not Canadians.

Canada should be the last country to be experiencing a migrant crisis considering its next to impossible to illegally immigrate there and most people are aiming to get to the USA instead. They were very selective in taking in Syrian refugees in 2015 and they were the only country in the Americas to not be impacted by The Venezuelan crisis. The govt brought this on themselves lol

Canadian here... the country is not divided, it's pretty clear that the immigration levels are not sustainable and need to be lowered

Canadians are not divided over that if anything they think the Government is not reducing immigration enough

Canada is a collapsing country. I really hope that more would-be foreign workers consider that Canada operates more like a scam with their TFW program than anything else. It is not a guaranteed gateway into citizenship at all. Homes are too expensive, prices of everything in Canada keeps rising & rising, not enough jobs, declining birth rates, the usual issues facing most countries that do not produce any substantial products.

Canada is slow but finally on the right track...... Immigration have to be regulated/controlled to reap its benefits and keep the risk manageable.......... It should not behave like a "flood gate"

Justin Trudeau has destroyed Canada.

So sick of this. If we moved to another country and refused to integrate it would never be tolerated and rightfully so.

It is an immigration policy to blame you id*ot you tuber

And absolutely nothing will change and it will only get worse. If you point out the negative impacts you are labeled as 'racist'. Joke of a country and joke of a society. They are ruining the country and pointing that out is 'racist'.

I hate my Liberal Government who did this to us. They have destroyed our country. There is no coming back from this. You think this is bad, look to the rural towns and who owns all the businesses.......

Politicians have destroyed your country just for power.

this is NEWS to them? should have realized this at least 10 years ago!

How about letting immigrants coming into the country that if they commit a crime they will be deported and be banned for 10 years. That would be a great deterrent to those that don't want to properly integrate into our society.
