I love how they tax half our income then act like heroes when they give back a max $420 per person. And I’m sure you need to be near poor line to get that.

This feels 6-8 years too late, You could even argue it as far back as 2010. We should've never kept our numbers at such high of a % of our population, it should've always been focused industries only such as agriculture.
Instead our business model is basically : Cheap Labour via Worker Visas, Housing Market due to quick and massive population boost and Student Visas making them pay 3.5x more than regular students that encourages post-secondary schools to choose international over domestic which may also have long-term consequences as we see many immigrants go back to their home or take their degree to a higher paying nation.
Detailed critique of immigration policy decisions and their economic consequences (labor exploitation, housing inflation, education system impacts).

this is a 180 from the past 5 years, however, it is a false promise. once the immigration cuts are out of recent memory of the voter base, restaurants begin to need customers (11,000 shuttered in 2 years), colleges get surplus nostalgia, and landlords demand their inflated rental income (see economic rent), the government will ramp the numbers up again.

I'm an Indian not from Punjab, this looks bad.
To any Indian and Punjab Gov officials seeing this please take action, these people are ruining India's reputation.
And to Canadians, Khalistani's are considered terrorists in my country most of them fled the country and I can see where they are now. Indian Gov officials have warned the Canadian Officials about this, they don't seem to care. I won't be surprised if they want Brampton to be declared a separate Khalistani country in the future.
Commenter shares Indian identity while criticizing both Indian diaspora behavior and Canadian government's handling of Khalistani separatists, framing it as a security and reputational concern.

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.
