The east Indian problem has gotten extremely bad where I am in Canada they keep buying businesses and then firing all the white people but if you call it out, you're racist like, I'm getting turned down when I hand out resumes, because I'm white and I was born in Canada its bad they're taking all the student jobs and then buying the businesses where students are working and then firing the students i'm no longer in school, so it's even harder to find a job. It's gotten to the point where if you want a job you need to work for yourself. They're even taking jobs in the trades so now people are having to work for themselves under-the-table and launder their money the average median income in Canada is anywhere from $45000 to $50000 a year the average house costs $673,335 the average household only makes $80000 a year i used to dream about having my own home and starting a family now I just hope I can find an apartment for less than $2000 a month that isn't owned by a slum Lord living in Toronto that's bought the property without ever even being to Smiths Falls a day in their life.
Combines personal economic hardship narrative with claims of ethnic discrimination in hiring and business ownership, framing immigration as economic threat.

Demographics change all the time and culture is fluid. Being pissed about it just means YOU need to have more kids. Without YOU having more children or immigration, towns die and economies shrink. It’s a simple numbers game.

the Indians i know in canada have been very hard working and honest people. there was one who had to go back home though they wouldn’t renew his worker permit. I know plenty more on these permits. It’s not just indians though there’s also Brazilians, Chileans, and Venezuelans. One thing I hate is my job prioritizing their work hours over mine because they “need the hours” to stay in this country. where as this is my own country and I’m getting cut hours during slow season. smh
Combines lived experience with workers on permits with economic grievance about job hour prioritization and workplace competition.

sure it’s an economic asset to India, but not canada. most of the money they make goes back to their home country. Not even beginning to mention how many jobs are being stripped away from young Canadians that are needing a first job like tim hortons or any of the sort. it’s ridiculous the job market in canada is destroyed because of this immigration mess
Argues immigration harms Canadian economy by draining money abroad and displacing young Canadian workers from entry-level jobs.

My town got the invasion in the past couple of years, 90% of my business is now done with Indians. Tim's, fast food, deliveries, Walmart, CDN Tire, etc. Young people can't get a start in the job market because the govt subsidizes their wages with our taxes.

I'd buy that guy on the bike a case of beer. It's so sad seeing guys like him who are so aware, who are obviously capable, having to live such poor lives. But this is Canada, where two people making the average income will never own a home and spend more than half their income on basics. That guy probably makes 50k a year. But is riding a bicycle in winter.
Primary focus is on economic hardship in Canada (housing costs, wages, cost of living) with empathy toward a struggling immigrant worker.

TBF most of them are good people, and want a better life. I have no quarrels against that but I think maybe 5 figures a year is lots, not this 800k+. That being said, most of them here are relatively upper middle class since its not cheap to emigrate from India.
Acknowledges immigrants' motivations sympathetically while critiquing immigration volume and economic capacity (800k+ vs 5 figures).
