Everyone like to blame the feds and yet their only part of the story. The rot is your provincial government and municipal… maybe it’s not working out for you.

This isn’t government failure — it’s corporate influence. Companies demand cheap labor. Government delivers people. Media sells morality. Citizens fight each other online.

In 2015, seniors (65+) were ~16–17% of Canada’s population. In 2024–25, they are ~19–20%. After 10 years and 3.6+ million permanent immigrants, aging was not solved. Immigration didn’t fix aging — it was used as justification, not a solution.

Canada’s fertility rate collapsed to ~1.25 (historic low). Instead of supporting families, housing, and wages, government chose population replacement via mass immigration. That’s not demographic policy — that’s demographic outsourcing.

Why do you let over a million a year come in the first place? We can't afford it. Close the border to immigration. When you realize your parenting is failing you don't make more kids.
