DO NOT COMPPLAIN OF BLEEDING ECONOMY YOU ALLOW IT ALL THE TIME. BLAH BLAH BLAH
It does not matter how many immigrants got PR in Canada. It matters more how many of them are skilled workers that can contribute to Canada’s economy.
With the sheer number of “skilled Canadians”; that cant find work. we dont need those either
Heart surgeons from Liberia, very experienced.
They are not welcome here unless they are hard workers and don’t interfere with our traditions
They don’t give a flyin’ fadoo about our traditions, they are only here for the money & free benefits.
Not one of them has said thank you.
That’s true.
not everyone needs to go down on their knees just for you , ya know….
instead, they work at Walmart’s and harass you for your receipt even after you already paid for it all thinking you’re a thief, so rude.
nonsense
I love how everyone would like “SKILLED IMMIGRANTS”. Well, we actually have enough skilled Canadians. What we need is not so skilled immigrants who are willing to work hard labour jobs for minimum wage. Its not fair to wish both, skilled and willing to work for nothing. Pick one.
Get a clue! They are not working for nothing & they get all kinds of allowances including major Housing allowances that poor Canadians don’t get!
300,000 – 500, 000… understatement…
I think welcomed is not the right word
Enough is enough no more
We don’t need new Canadians. We need to take care and employ our existing population. Someone must be getting kickbacks.
It comes in the form of votes for trudeau.
I gave up looking for work
@Mom Tur Same here
@Mom Tur There is a lot of work everywhere, don’t start.
Welcomed a record number of immigrants during a record home shortage.
@Rob Watersthey work harder than lots of Canadians milking the system on welfare and odsp
@Jumbo Me I live with immigrants & in the highest immigrant area anywhere in the country & new arrivals get all kinds of benefits naturalized Canadians don’t get, ie a hefty housing allowance, and for an extended period of time. Again, you are making totally unfounded statements!
@D.R. Tweeds Tweeddale lol no I’m not. Move along dummy
@Toneok so where do they live, if rent is too expensive and housing supply is short? Nobody will work and live if conditions don’t accommodate anyone
@Spicoli We have lots of places in Canada where the housing is reasonable. Not to mention Canada is a country where little space is used. We can built temp housing for new comers and in the summer build permanent housing.
You wonder why there is no housing or healthcare available for tax paying Canadians….
@Jumbo Me No there’s not! So don’t be ignorant of the facts!
@Jumbo Meare you for real?
Oh, these are the ones they show you: it’s the migrants and “refugees” they don’t talk about… I wasn’t able to get on an airplane for two years, as almost 10million illegals poured in at the same time:
@Jumbo Me Have you looked around you lately?.
@End of Days yup. I like my quiet neighborhood.
We don’t have enough hospitals being built or family doctors for this….😢
800,000 in the last 2 years alone…and the resentment keeps growing.
Every single day hundreds of Canadian homes are being transferred to foreigners
And who is selling it to them. CANADIANS
Why are Canadians now suddenly vastly outnumbered in overcrowded Canadian cities?
Cause you voted liberal and here we are 10 years later
Can’t access healthcare, can’t afford housing, keep them coming!
This guy just copies all of Trudeaus mannerisms, anyone else notice that? I can read you like a book guy!
Not like we should sort out our own issues before opening up our borders… nahhhh. That would make too much sense.
Lets pile on the problems and get a larger voter base!!!! 🤦♂️
There is no labor shortage just low wages. Canada is done
Welcome! 🙂🇨🇦
