Its sad cause there are lovely people from both india and china here that want to live and thrive in canada and be canadian, they dont want the country they left. But for some reason liberal politicians think they need to bring in people from these places who hate us and want to change things. I feel bad for the people who came here to be here genuinely. Nobody can afford anything here now because of being overrun
Distinguishes between 'genuine' immigrants and those perceived as hostile to Canadian values, frames immigration as a threat to affordability and national character.

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤
Asserts Canadian pride and sovereignty through historical examples, appeals to shared values, and expresses solidarity with Ukraine.

So it's ok that white European Immigrants from Ireland, France, Italy, UK and East Europeans want to close the door behind them. Cheeky isn't it?

I am Canadian Citizen, but 100% support Trump for what he is doing for his country. Every country should be independent whatever their core values.
