Stop all immigration until this problem is resolved, the numbers are placing way too much pressure on our country’s ability to absorb and service.

But of course we know it’s not by accident this is happening!

The issue isn't with immigration mismanagement, it's with greedy politicians and racist citizens.

Citizens aren’t racist, we’ve always welcomed people coming into the country with a controlled immigration system!

We are frustrated because the influx of immigrants over the last few years has overwhelmed the country’s services, work, housing,medical services.

We know our government is purposely trying to bankrupt our country and that’s why we are against what’s happening

If you read my article, you’ll see that it isn’t immigrants who have overwhelmed housing (and employment opportunities), they are simply being scapegoated by politicians

Too many, too fast! Lack of housing, medical care, schools and no plans to solve the issues. Tax dollars being spent to pay for hotels meals, medical, dental, eye care and Canadians are not receiving that aid. We just pay oay,pay.

Oh I don’t think so. I have talked to people who would sell their homes and move into a condo or senior housing but there are long wait times, like 3-5 years. So housing is a problem.

I didn’t say housing isn’t a problem. If you read my article, I say that it IS a problem, but NOT because of immigration

IF Canada were a democracy - which it certainly is not - immigration would be reduced. But Canadian governments, once elected, simply do what the hell they please, Canadians be damned! This is coming close to blowing up in Canada's face. Ever heard of a province called Alberta?

It is the root of the problem and it was intentional. They layed out how they were going to flood our country with mass immigration. The Century Initiative. Wiping out our culture and history. While they spout of about cultural genocide! The hypocrisy is breath taking.

Um, Canada doesn't have a distinct culture outside of being European settlers. Unless you're indigenous, we are all settlers on this land, and recent ones.

And without more immigrants we're just gonna have a labour shortage.

Also being disabled isn't a personality. I am also disabled, but it's not what defines me as a person. It also doesn't make me a soapbox for a political movement. I prefer to be an independent thinker with critical thought.

FYI European culture isn't one culture its many and they are very beautiful cultures, all worth preserving, unless of course you're a bigot and don't think all people are of equal value.

We also do not have a labour shortage, quite the opposite actually. We have a 14% youth unemployment crisis is Canada. Our youth can't get a foot hold and start building. We have to prioritize our own youth or our country will fall further behind. We have already falled from the top 5 to 39th place in the OECD. This is a rapid decline in Canadian standards of life.

A nation can't absorb more than between 1 to 2% of it's population of immigrants. The government hs don't studies in this. If immigration is higher it causes infrastructure failure (housing, healthcrae, education, employment etc), social disruptions (culture clashes, tribalism etc) and economic decline (shrinking GDP per capita, cost of living crisis). The last government had it between 7 to 8%.😱 That is unsustainable and as a result we have all of the issues above.

Yes we do have a culture and it has been formed over hundreds of years it includes European and Indigenous cultures as part of it, but being Canadian is a distinct culture. And that culture matters. Its worth preserving.

Generational Canadians are not immigrants, they are native to Canada.🤦🏻 Immigrants are immigrants, Canadians are Canadians. Being an immigrant is fine by the way, but after someone becomes a citizen they are Canadian not an immigrant. People born in Canada are native Canadians. That's literally the definition.🤷🏻

You not a activist, you're just ill informed on our history, and have adopted a particular ideology.

Canada is full! Actually, overfull, until we can bring our infrastructure and services in line with the invasion of non-Canadians.

Controlled vetted immigration is one thing, but what has been happening for the nearly 5 years is not that, plus illegal migrants have flooded our boarders becoming a burden on the taxpayers. If only some of our own citizen could get the free ride these people take for granted, free hotel, meals, health care ,education, spending money etc. All part of Trudeau’s Agenda 2030 plan, you will own nothing and be happy. How is that working out?

I was of the opinion that government in Ottawa was responsible for allowing any and all immigrants into the country, it would almost appear that law enforcement has been advised to step down resulting in no regulation on who or where they enter the country. This in itself is peculiar since people coming into Canada are expected to enter the country at government regulated border crossings not just cross the border where ever you feel like it. Considering this who but the federal government is accountable?

The 56 % that think immigration levels are way to high are long term citizen, the other 44 % that think there are not enough are recent invaders that want their extended family to come over as well.

Carney is ok with the latter cause they'll vote liberal to keep that WEF A-hole in power

Mass immigration only benefits big corporations who want as many consumers as possible to sell their products/services to.

It doesn’t matter to these corporations where the immigrant-consumer is gets the money to buy their products.

Many Canadian immigrants are receiving significant public funds (child tax credit payments, welfare, free health care, free dental care, winter clothing and settlement payments, etc.) and greedy corporations are happy to reap the benefits.

The typical private citizen does not benefit from immigration. He loses. His social services and healthcare are diluted. His employment opportunities are fewer and less lucrative. His housing choices are fewer and more expensive. There’s more traffic, more pollution, and more competition for fewer resources.

But he’s been sold a bill of goods that immigration enriches his life. And the education system and academia repeats this and reinforces this to the point where he can’t think for himself. Or if he does manage to think for himself he’s labelled a racist.

We know one thing for certain about Lieberal Governance.

They lie to voters to be elected or re-elected.

Then they don't give a rat's ass about what the voters think until they have to lie their way back into power and pretend they are listening.

For the above.

See pretty much anything they said to voters and then did once in power starting back in 2015 and continuing with the current liar and fraud and his gang of incompetent trained seals.
