Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

I was the lawyer invited to this interview, and after reading some comments celebrating the end of the PEQ, I feel the need to clarify a few things. The people affected by this are not “abusing the system.” this was the program for people that came here legally and are working. To qualify for the PEQ, they had to be working full time, they pay taxes, they speak the language. They’re fixing our roads, keeping hospitals running, welding, machining, doing the jobs most of us take for granted every single day. The hard truth is that Canadians have stopped having enough children, and we simply don’t have enough young people with the skills to fill these roles. Yes, we absolutely should invest more in education and trade programs for our youth — my employer clients are begging young people to become mechanics, welders, skilled workers, often in the regions. Most don’t take those jobs, and even when they do, training takes two to three years. Our industries need people now, or parts of the economy will stall, and that affects all of us as Quebecers and Canadians. These workers are not asking for charity. They are already on the front lines keeping key sectors alive. Ending programs like the PEQ doesn’t punish “illegals” or “free riders”; it punishes people who are already integrated, working, and contributing to the society we all share. Also, all they are asking is for the new rules to not be applied to them retroactively, only for those coming new into the country, otherwise it is rug pulling those already here that played by the rules, and when the government does it to us we don't like, on principle of fairness, whatever you think of the numbers, too high too low, doesn't matters, it is the least we can all get behind as humans.

We like to bring in people from everywhere and pay them more money than working Canadians get using tax dollars. Then they collect OAS and leave the country, pass away and their families collect on that OAS for as long as they can without consequence

There are businesses hiring International students as full time employees, paying less and also there seem to be under the table fees collected from the students. I personally heard from Indian students that I met at work places. I had been a lucrative business for business owners who gain more from the fraudulant international student problem than the businesses themselves. There are lots of small businesses just for that purpose, I believe. This issue have to be addressed from across the isle.

If significant numbers of people have not/do not pay taxes in Canada to support our health and welfare system then their use of those same systems weaken them for those who do. The weaken systems will start to fail and we’ll all be worse off unless, of course, we raise taxes or borrow more. How liberal is that!

I’ve got the maple syrup in my blood and I speak on 95.69% Canadians we are ok with immigrantion to a point, not mass immigration. Let our teens have a chance at getting a job in the fast food(companies have to pay full price per hour)

Trudeau let them all in, then Trudeau went from 12 million in his bank to over 120 million in his bank account instead of tax payers being on the hook for the vote Trudeau wanted how about he pays out of his pocket!!!

Employers should be aware of SINs before hiring people. I am also an immigrant, but my dad worked hard as a skilled worker to bring us here to Canada. I pay my duly taxes monthly and yearly. So I find it unfair when people work under the table. However, I've noticed that some students, who never attend their classes, end up in high positions with well-paying jobs at big companies. Meanwhile, I can't count how many refugees and immigrants are in low-income brackets, receiving 100% coverage for their medication and a monthly allowance from the government. In contrast, Canadian senior citizens still have to pay 20-30% of their medication costs and don't get the same privileges when it comes to their essentials. It frustrates me that the government makes our senior citizens suffer at retirement age, even after they've worked so hard for so many years. Yet they still struggle to pay for their own medication and necessities. I've encountered many rude refugees and people on income support from other countries who feel entitled to special treatment just because they are under government programs. Ironically, some of them come wearing luxury clothes and bags—like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. As I said, I am an immigrant too, but my heart goes out to those who have fully earned the support and benefits they deserve.

Love your videos but I am done with seeing advertisements within the videos when I pay a monthly fee for YouTube Prime to AVOID advertisements. I am so out

So they come to Canada, learn english, work, pay taxes and even local call them nice. Whats the problem ?

Hey, why don't the journalists find out how much money the federal government?And provincial government give to international students in grants and loans.Why are canadian citizens paying for foreigners educated in our country? Educational Grant and loans should only be allowed for canadian citizens only.

You guys should do more stories on inequality, though it requires more research than talking with random people on the street. Also when the people you interview make claims such as "they're not paying taxes" or "there's a lot of fake universities", i think it would be right to try and back that up or know the details of this

Why are Canadians paying for hotels for non-Canadians when Canadians are experiencing homelessness?

The problem is not immigration, it is about why government giving visa when there is a job crisis for those who are already there? It is a cheating with the people who are paying huge money as a students and getting no exposure of jobs, it is not because of education that students are coming it is because of exposure of an International companies which they are hoping to get, students are adding money to the economy how can you blame the students who are coming legally??

They will never pay taxes😮😮😮😮😮😮

It’s the same in Australia. The Chinese own a store but pays very low pay to Chinese employees only

They are some insane regulations that prevent people from leaving Canada, like exit taxes , somebody has absolutely owned anything , and has to pay 25000 to completely disconnect from Canada and being able to leave Canada. I am asking the authorities to cancel the leaving tax fee and let the people leave if they want to do so.

Yeah pretty much every walmart or lower jobs are taken the amount of canadien homeless is rising its so messed up how the government pays them with our money and then pays sum more to have them live here....

I don't have coverage for physiotherapy which I could really use. I have to pay out of pocket for all of it. Why do asylum seekers get it for free?

16 year olds are paying 600-800 a month for car insurance because if a certain demographic ruining it for everyone

🇨🇦 My theory is Canadian debt, deficit, aging population are so high Canada is hoping mass Immigration will pay the debt off, a debt the immigrants didn't incur.😮

If you Canadians do nothing for that I’m telling you from experience you done the next years. I’m from Greece I move to Canada 2012 I didn’t speak English I go to college to learn English I follow the rules pay tax respect. in greece same thing happened, and rest of ther Europe (do something or you done)

A lot of immigrants who had skills in demand, after 5, 10 years decided to go back where they came from due to cost of living vs income. Housing for example in Canada is steep. Some left for USA, better pay, lower housing costs. Those that do not have skills in demand, having a job, it's pay is worth the cost of living pain.

We shouldn't offer Healthcare of any kind to non citizens or non permanent residents. Let's say that again another way. Healthcare should only go to citizens and permanent residents, and temporary foriegn workers. Nobody else should get anything unless they pay up front out of pocket.

Common sense. Liberals just step aside and take your resume with your last pay check for a permanent vacation.

Now talk about the real problem. The housing issues, the big corporations taking advantage of the housing in Canada, and the companies that are exploiting temporary foreign workers by paying them low wages and taking advantage of their immigration status.
