As a Canadian living close to the capital, we do not want this. The liberal government are letting anyone and everyone in without any background checks and they aren’t following up on the visitor/school visa’s that expire to see if anyone is actually leaving. They don’t even try to adapt or conform to laws, society nor culture. Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. We are tired of this, send them back.
Criticizes government immigration policy and enforcement while asserting Canadian identity and expressing demographic anxiety about cultural assimilation.

In Canada, we imported almost 10% of our population is the last five years, the majority of whom came from India. There's no doubt that Indian culture is not the same as Canadian culture, and importing such a massive number so quickly means we are far more likely to see those cultures bumping up against each other, rather than giving them a chance to assimilate and blend. Like any good cook, I know if you try to add the eggs too quickly and in too much of a hurry, you get scrambled eggs in weak sauce, not a thick creamy custard. Same principle applies to immigration. We need to give people the time and chance to learn and absorb our culture and values, else we end up with ghettos and a weakened society.
Structured critique of immigration pace and assimilation policy using cultural metaphor, arguing for slower integration to prevent social fragmentation.

Listen, immigration has always been a strength in this country but bringing millions of immigrants at the same time into a country made no sense. Trudeau's government should be ashamed but they'll never take responsibility for their mistakes. Now everything is messed up and it's going to take years to fix. Unfortunately these TFWP programs all need to stop - Canada is broken right now.
Acknowledges immigration's historical value but criticizes rapid implementation scale and government accountability for resulting problems.

Indian government warned about criminals coming to canada and requested to send them back so they can be prosecuted in india but canada government refused.

The push for "diversity" by Trudeau has backfired, it has largely contributed to Canada's current decline and the crime in our big cities.

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 …
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.
Uses demographic statistics to critique government immigration policy as ineffective for solving aging, challenging the stated rationale for mass immigration.

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.
