A decline in TFWs and housing costs would trigger an increase in productivity and real wages plus a decline in debt and real estate inflation which certainly would be a disaster for "the economy" Ford pays attention to: the welfare of speculators, the finance cult and cheap labour employers. The real economy and the welfare of Canadians are not on his radar.

So yes let's stop mass immigration and invest in Canadians and watch poor Ford cry into his empty campaign coffers.

How this guy can call himself a conservative is beyond me . He is almost florescent red .

Red, green, blue - makes no difference to the finance cult that owns him. They don't discriminate, they just want enough control to keep their growth Ponzi going.

"Ontario Premier Doug Ford said sending economic migrants back home is “the craziest” thing he’s ever heard and the “worst thing” for the economy."

Pictured top of article.

Poster child for one of the CRAZIEST THINGS I have ever unfortunately had to hear almost daily.

Why oh why can't anybody get this buffoon to simply STFU?

Remember the east think he's fine

NO WE DO NOT think everything is hunky-dory , from Ontario perspective! You have your own to worry about in the WEST, eg Eby, Kinew,and as we move East Doug Ford who was bitten by the Green EV battery mfg, pie in the sky and bs GREEN steel, then Quebec who have been in separatist mode forever, because they cant make it without Albertas equalization $$$$, Susan Holt, Tim Houston

The fuck we do!!..just the MSM Elbows up dickwads..and even THEY are starting to look around with a dopey WTF?? look..

It all started with “we need skilled trades” then we allow them to bring in the rest of their families that are past working age and are a drain on our social programs. Then they pack in three families to a house and they overload our municipal services without paying their share of taxes and concentrate in numbers that don’t assimilate with Canadian culture.

There is a hell of a lot more to immigration than the numbers the buffoon is spouting.

We all know this is about votes and keeping his majority. I wouldn’t give him control over anything. He’s Ontario’s version of Carnage, line your pockets and reward your friends. Disgusting!

Yes, but what's the alternative. Talk to your MP and tell him what you think. Don't vote for muslim candidates ever!

The New Blue Party is looking better and better. They appear to be what the Conservative Party once was. They will have my vote. Ford is farther left than Wynne!!

A perfect example of the dumbing down of Canada. Carney & Ford.

You got that right and I know many of them and we have hit rock bottom .

My son has had has a specialized renovation business for several years, and constantly mentions his difficulty getting reliable steady workers. They work for a couple of weeks, get paid and then disappear for a month. Nobody wants to work but they want the paycheck. He is not only one I have heard other trades people state the same thing.

Why should they work, since and during COVID-19, the government paid people not to work? And for those to “cheated the system” what happened: NOTHING except in few cases. Why work!

I do not support the immigration policies of the Feds over the past 10 plus years, but I do support immigrants who come here legally and want to contribute to our country.

Then get them out of Europe, there is plenty people there that would love to escape the hell hell holes their stupid government s created.

Although on second thought why would they emigrate to a same hell hole country they want to leave

Gaffer's avatar

Then vet better.

“And all of a sudden, we saw a decline for the first time about 50,000 people. That is so dangerous for our country.”

???..And the increase of THOUSANDS of muslim immigrants has VASTLY improved Canada and Canadians,??? Fuck off...💩

Harold B.'s avatar

Nothing like bringing in your sworn enemies like China and Muslims . How stupid has our society become ? Rock bottom .

Stank's avatar

Let’s level the playing field. TFW’s are subsidized by the government with our money! If that was removed maybe employers would hire our unemployed workers/youth. They already live here and arguably have been paying taxes into the system. No housing shortage or inflated prices due to overwhelming demand. Duh!

Harold B.'s avatar

Yes they use our money to put our own people out of work .

And DEI rewards them over the white majority of applicants. Totally perverse government incentives.

"The feds bring in people. We train them up, and we’ve had this discussion with all the premiers and the prime minister at the table, and we’re all in 100 per cent agreement,”

Train them up???..like you trained all those illegal/ unskilled/ "no English"/ phony ticket/ Islam truckers causing chaos on our roads?? including the 16 Humboldt CANADIAN hockey players???

Fuck you DOUG..and your Transport Minister Prabmeet Singh...💩

How can there be a shortage of workers when companies are laying people off. Why don't we put prisoners to work and stop bringing in more criminals. Elmer Fudd (Ford) is just a Corney wannabe. The bed must be getting crowded

Andrew's avatar

> prisoners to work

If I was in prison, I'd like it too. Able to do something, feel normal. They could be used on road crews or pick up garbage. Also think it's great for the public to see them, it put's in into your mind, you could go to jail, don't mess up!

Marilyn Tanguay's avatar

Wish we had chain gangs. They need to pay for their supper. They have it too good in jail. Another example of "no consequences ". Maybe they could work on building the pipelines. Then march them back to prison at end of the day. Reduced Wages would be cheaper than what it cost to house and feed them. Majority would be foreign workers anyway. Bet they'd think twice about coming here breaking the law

Ontario needs more people but it’s perfectly acceptable for the nation to kill 100,000 unborn babies every year through abortion. All paid by Canada Health. Canada has one of the lowest fertility rates in the West. So, kill our own and let more people in the country. Without immigration Canada faces a demographic winter that no politician wants to address.

Tatanka's avatar

exactly.

Liberal policy, kill your own and then bring in people that want to kill the rest of us.

Don's avatar

🎯..harsh...but true..Again, for those who haven't done at least a little prepping..start NOW..cuz sounds like January and February there's word of a severe global food "shortage" ??..(might just be fear mongering from THEM..but a good supply of Beans/ Bullets and Bandaids is always wise)

Ford is clearly in on the controlled globalist collapse of Canadian societies.....He is hardly a conservative in the basic and ideological term of the word. He is more hard line left wing liberal than conservative....The Trudeau and now Carney liberals have for years, manufactured the controlled collapse of the Canadian economy and industrial sector through flooding foreigners and over seas workers into Canada thus heavily increasing the pressure on our social benefits structure, health care, education, housing and decreasing the available jobs for our youth...Moreover the continuous increase and flooding of foreigners into Canada also provide massive numbers of future liberal voters who will continue to maintain and keep the liberals in political power. In addition, they will replace the natural born Canadians in Canadian society, turning Canada into a more goverment compliant and controllable society who will be more obediant and continue to vote for left wing liberal governments and their destructive policies......The die was cast in 2015 with the selection of Trudeau 2 into office and ever since then Canada has been undergoing a globalist/Liberal/WEF economic, industrial and social controlled demolition of our country.....With the massive immigration comes also heavily increased levels of foreigner propagated criminal activities....The Bishnoi gang in Canada members were likely all recent foreign immigrant and foreign economic migrants.... It looks like this Indian gang will now be receiving more criminal members to shore up the strength in their criminal cartel that is operating with almost total immunity within Canada........

Ford is proving daily that he has lost what little pride he may have had at one time. Daily the Liberal loving buffoon drags Ontario and it's Canadians closer and closer to the edge of bankruptcy. Dumping Canadian whiskey, attacking Trump, threatening Americans, expanding the TFW sewer while 20% of his young population is out of work, kissing the ass of Marx Con Carney, hiding he and his political troughers thefts of taxpayer $$$$$$ meanwhile thousands are losing their jobs, homes and futures.

Andrew's avatar

> Dumping Canadian whiskey

Reminded me of the ending of Boyz in tha Hood, "for my dead homies." Makes me laugh.

Kimmer's avatar

Ford does not know WTF he is doing! we have the population of a city the size of London Ontario here 383,000 approximately lost immigrants. When you have people lined up for a Costco job looking for work! We have emergency departments with temporary "Hall Care Beds" And Doug Ford wants to bring more! Why do we have to bring more in, we cant handle whats here already! Why cant we train our Canadian Born and Raised that are jobless and homeless! WHY!!!!!

Andrew's avatar

Heard a lady talking to a clerk and the clerk couldn't understand her, then she said, nevermind. That's a decline in the quality of life. And working with foreigners is a bit lacking too, one can't joke around and socialize as much - it sounds weird, but work is a bit more boring.

Kimmer's avatar

I was in a pharmacy picking up a script, and I decided instead of a debit card or credit card I would pay in CASH (my mistake), the teller at the Prescription center was definitely not CDN, I handed him a $10 bill, he did not return the correct amount to me, even though they ring in what is given and value to return, so I had to explain to him exactly what to give me back, he did not know our currency let alone Nickel, dime, quarter, loonie, or twonie values, blows my mind!
