Many International Students now are actually people in their 30s and 40s, with multiple kids and a spouse. So when they come here to "Study" They are eligible for Child Tax benefits and GST rebates and everything else that only a Citizen should receive. These foreign people are essentially financing their edication with the tax payers money. On top of that, they are adding more load to the healthcare , and public school system, without paying a single dollar in income tax or property tax.
Argues that international students impose economic costs through tax benefits and public service usage while contributing no income/property taxes.

Canada’s government is out of control. Immigration levels have exploded far beyond what housing, jobs, and infrastructure can support. With roughly 2.9 million temporary residents in the system, affordability has collapsed rent, food, and services are stretched to the breaking point. When permits expire, people must return home as the system was designed, not be quietly rolled over. Immigration has to match capacity. Bring people when there are jobs and homes not when the cost of living is already crushing everyone. Fix Canada first, then expand responsibly.
Comprehensive critique linking immigration levels to housing, jobs, and infrastructure capacity constraints, with economic impact focus.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.
Focuses on trade deficits, tariff asymmetries, and economic disadvantage to Canada in US relations, with specific examples of pricing disparities.

Canada cursed with short sighted political leaders (ON ALL PARTIES) failed to do the basics to even attempt to diversify the economy. No new ports, refineries, pipelines Al infrastructure..ect Those aforementioned issues are compounded by either too much immigration without support or too few immigrants to grow into an economic opening up. There was a plan years ago that CANADA should have between 70-100 million by this centuries end ..but that ONLY works OR be remotely possible if we started with laying out the economic and societal systems 20 years ago.... We've painted ourselves into not only a corner ..but onto the edge of a cliff
Analyzes immigration policy through economic lens, critiquing lack of infrastructure investment and demographic planning rather than opposing immigration itself.

It’s crazy to me that it’s even being allowed to welcome even more immigrants. Our healthcare, housing etc is stretched so thin it’s dangerous. Try getting a Dr if yours retires! They need to send more back to perhaps other countries that will accept them. That alone will save Canada money.
Focuses on strain on healthcare and housing systems, framing immigration as economically unsustainable and advocating for deportations as cost-saving.

Make it expensive to import, and the businesses will have to operate in US, if not they have to forgo the American market.

Canada has all the necessary conditions to establish real manufacturing industries and increase production. With the presence of migrant labor such as workers from India—who are willing to accept lower wages than Canadian workers and others—the equation becomes clear: lower costs, higher output, and greater profitability. This workforce represents a real investment for those who know how to manage human resources and the economy intelligently.
Analysis of immigrant labor's economic impact on manufacturing, wages, costs, and profitability.

I hope yall know this invasion has made Canada terrible for the youth, all the youth and even some 20-25-30 yr olds are left jobless by all these Indians taking over all the jobs becoming managers somehow then they ONLY hire Indians once they are manager. I’ve been looking consistently for a full time job for around 8 months now. It’s terrible what this invasion has done, just what they did to the job market alone is enough to want to leave.
Primary focus on job market impact and employment discrimination, combined with demographic anxiety and ethnic targeting.

Call any big Canadian company, Bell, you get someone from the Philippines. Scotia bank, you get someone in Mexico and so on. They make billions and yet decide to hire outside of Canada. But when they hire someone from Canada, you stay on "temporary" status for years. After 2 or 3 years they move you to "temp full time" status and so on..... Most Canadians know this!
Focuses on corporate hiring practices, employment status hierarchies, and economic decisions by major companies regarding domestic versus foreign workers.

Housing crisis is all that comes to mind. We don't have the infrastructure to welcome anyone else, period. Let alone the people who are here illegally under false pretenses.
