Westerners, aren't having children, because we can't afford to. The more immigrants that enter, makes it even more unaffordable for westerners it is to have. On top of that, the constant demonization of (predominantly) white people to hate the past, feminism, and queer theory being pushed, definitely doesn't help. I can't even go to a foodbank for a few basics, without a 3 hour wait from all the recent immigrants that don't speak English, and push their way thru lines
Links immigration to housing affordability and economic hardship for 'westerners,' combining economic grievance with demographic anxiety and identity concerns.

Thanks for this, you are saying what I feel I'm not racist, I'm just fed up, these people, mostly Indian, come here and take all the jobs, barely speak English, are rude and don't care, I'm tired of going to a fast food chain and my order is screwed up so bad, no please or thanks they look at me like I'm an asshole cause I'm white they don't know me, they assume I'm a white male, I'm automatically an asshole,
Primarily focuses on job competition and economic grievances (taking jobs, wages), though also includes identity-based complaints and cultural anxiety.

Thanks Liberals for pushing us so far down the hole it's going to take a miracle to get us back on top. Remember the size of family our great grandparents, grandparents had ~ like 7 to 10 kids, I'm 60 and had 4 siblings. The size of families just keeps getting smaller ~ too expensive for everything for adults and even more so for the cost of a child. 95% of us don't have that silver spoon in our mouths at birth......
Blames government policy for economic hardship and rising costs of living that prevent family formation.

The Indian people are nice dont get me wrong, but the issue is there are to many of them and alot of them dont want to lwarn our language after moving here and they start businesses but only hire other Indians because of the language barrier. They are also buying up all the houses and alot of them will only rent to their own making it very difficult for Canadians to find houses to rent. Even half the realtors are indian. We have no jobs left very few houses and its makkng Canadians go homeless
Makes multiple specific claims about immigrant behavior (language, hiring, housing) and economic impact (job scarcity, homelessness) without evidence, blending economic grievance with unsubstantiated assertions.

Let's raise our wages to where they should be or at least back to 2005 levels by doing a go fund me and buy khalistan over in India or wherever they want khalistan to be and once we export 4 or 5 million India's our employers will have no choice but to pay over 19 an hour to be a doctor and our kids will have summer jobs again. But no Tim's, eff Tim's they chose a side they are eliminated. It's back to country style donuts the way it should have gone!
Argues that immigration suppresses wages and proposes exporting immigrants to raise labor costs, framing immigration as an economic problem.

The racists say they don’t want to get an education when they actually pay three times the tuition. Which bring in billions a year. The racists don’t contribute billions into Canada.

Who's going to explain to Trump that US refineries don't process us oil. We need Canadian and Venezuelan oil. Guess we are getting Russian oil
