Nobody hates Canadians more than the current Liberal/NDP government

Urban sprawl hurts the climate through land development. \nOur current level of destroying wetlands and grasslands for housing has way more long term impact on nature than if we had 10x the amount of tarsands oil production.

As an immigrant, I believe that the rate of immigration should be slowed down. There are currently insufficient homes, jobs, and healthcare services. The situation has become particularly dire for new immigrants after the pandemic, forcing many to live paycheck to paycheck without time to assimilate. Additionally, the imbalance in the number of immigrants from different countries can hinder assimilation. While I fully support diversity, it is essential that we come together as Canadians to build a unified community rather than creating isolated enclaves. Many immigrants arrive seeking opportunities but are often unaware of the realities of living here. The government needs to take responsibility for allowing this situation to develop and should do more to promote and uphold Canadian values. Also, the system cannot function effectively without proper checks and balances, as many people take advantage of it.

Because the current government seems to have forgotten about the concept of supply and demand when it comes to existing infrastructure in Canada!!

Canadas natural immigration rate is about 350k/yr. At the same time we were facing a housing crisis caused mainly (at the time) by oppressive and inefficient regulatory systems. That was before Trudeau, without explanation, increased immigration to 1.5 Million per year. Canada used to immigrate primary families with a 50:50 male female ratio. Now we primarily import single military aged males resulting in the current near-70:30 male female ratio. This is a massive concern.

Canada was not anti immigration when the people coming were needed, they wanted to contribute, and they understood and assimilated into Canadian culture. Now they come, contributing nothing, straining our health care system, causing a housing crisis, and most importantly, bringing their culture and beliefs, displacing ours. Our veterans that fought for Canada and what being Canadian meant fought for nothing as too many of this current generation has no patriotism and cares nothing about Canadian culture. Thus, we lost our country without a fight.

Because of the complete mismanagement and incompetence of the current government.

This is the our current so called admissions fault, they started letting them flood in and now the closer we get to election time, they are just now allowing TX to try and stop it now that it has gotten so out of hand. This is sad and ridiculous. Joe and Kamala need to be held accountable.

Leave Pakistan to create new Pakistan in Canada, same like what’s going on in UK currently with immigrants from Pakistan, literally they are demanding Sharia law openly in UK in-front of UK parliament with their hoarding.

Our current Democratic Party created this!!

Little do those Venezuelans known our current inflation rate is at a all time high

Thank you so much, really appreciated.. currently updating my CV to Canadian. ?

If they can fly to Canada from around the world, then they are not poor. These are economic migrants who are using the open borders to take advantage of the current situation.

I’m just disgusted with our current administration in the US AND Canada. \n\nAbsolutely destructive and dangerous. \n\nTrump 2024!

Well well well, if this isn’t the consequences of the current administration. But according to them and the media we don’t have a border crisis.

None of you get the migrants are here to replace you and replace current system and society with a more balkanized and government dependent system. It is meant to work this way.

What is current cut off CSR score

The thing about Canada is the the unaffordable housing crisis is also tied to high unemployment and too many immigrants coming in from the Far East and Middle East countries. Now that they are closer to the US with the best job opportunities in the world currently it’s best to come here at all cost. If it drives up home prices and rents no problem because the government is dangerous when it’s in debt needs higher tax revenue. It’s screws with the population that’s already here.

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

mexico helped usa when Trump was in office. They refuse now with the current office. No one is going to willingly work together. Thats why we need leadership.

Rationing of everything is now on the table.\nMedical care is already rationed. It's only going to get worse. Increased demand for food will cause food prices to increase. It already is, but because of existing inflation it's not glaringly obvious yet.\n\nThe current, existing housing shortage will become far worse. Look for illegals to get preference in housing. Most citizens can't compete with what the government can pay for rent & leasing fees provided to the illegals.

This is a complete failure of the current administration.

I have a Theory: Democrats and The Current Brandon Administration knew they were done for elections this time. They invited these Yetis so the incoming Republican Government will have all the trouble to deal with this and wouldn't be able to do anything else!

We need to drive the Democrats out of the White House.\nThe damn current government does nothing. The United States is not a trash can. It puts all kinds of garbage in it. Now it is uglier than the third world...

The sad part is, I know people who would abdicate their US citizenship for the option of getting that package deal instead of their current debt and life situation. A single person living off $1400/month is a lot of ramen and skittles!

Ok here is the new problem. IF Demorats win the election, all illegals will be made citizens. They have no skill set, cannot speak English, and cannot be vetted. So they will remain on welfare. Estimates are that over 30 million have entered our country. \n\nThere ie no sustainable way for the US to fund all the illegals and all the citizens currently on SNAP, Section 8, Medicaid, etc. So the demorata...will take benefits away from citizens to be able to fund the illegals.\n\nIt hasn't even begun to get ugly yet. November will decide whether we stay a free western culture or become the worst kind of third world country with our own citizens starving to death.

Canada currently has a Treasonous Government

They no longer use that gas station and are having a hard time finding a place willing to sign a contract with the bus company. Currently they are using the DMV/Government center as the bus station.\nAnd this has been going on at the northern border for years. Ask a local cab driver.

Can I have $1400 a month on a pre-paid debit card? I am born in American and paid my taxes for 40 years, plus other taxes. Oh f@$& I'm not an illegal immigrant, and haven't paid into the system all my life not eligible because I am American. This is so wrong and backwards. Our current administration is killing America. ??????

Marvel secret invasion is real. Lol. And the current government is behind it. Vote 2024 to make US safe again!

As a Canadian, I can state that our current Liberal government doesn't care about Canadians, or if people illegally cross the border into the USA.

Its coming to a point where the U.S might have to treat all these people knowingly illegally crossing as enemies and put them into forced labor camps, this will make all other foreign people to rethink their decision from coming into this country while not hurting the current americans citizens pockets.if this issue does not get resolved the U.S will turn into like any other south American country and eventually strangle itself to death economically as its already doing. (Im a hispanic myself arrived legally 20 years ago with legal documents)

Canadian here, Ontario. Ummm, Canada and everything you think you know about us is over. Our country has been destroyed by Trudeau, who is basically a puppet of the WEF and the Liberal agenda. We don't have an immigration problem. We are currently being invaded by millions of Punjabi. One area from India. Over 2 million just in Ontario. Keep in mind, into southern Ontario. Near Toronto and Windsor. We are in crisis here, our social services are on the brink. Cost of living is becoming impossible. The western way of life is being eroded in every western country. It is so obvious. They say population decline, but then why have millions and millions from one small area of the world??? I have no national pride left. I hate it here. It's over.

Currently in the North of England, Brits are smashing up a hotel full of immigrants. Wonder when that will start happening in New York?

I believe the U.S. signed an agreement with NATO to accept immigration from countries around the world....that would be Biden and current administration. All NATO nations are getting swamped with migrants - it's a ridiculous mess that won't be fixed anytime soon.

It's not even just in Brampton even 1 to 2 hours away immigrant and international students take all customer service jobs to the point that Canadians can barely get hired into these roles because we have expectations and rights that we worked for and I've seen these immigrants willing to work for less than legal minimum wage and they do not stand up for themselves or work towards having any shared rights. In addition many politicians on both sides of the aisle are rental landlords so only stand to profit from low rental vacancies and cramming as many people into a small space as possible. They've also cut funding to a lot of post-secondary institutions who rely on inflating tuition cost for international students. At my current role on a team of 15 people plus one manager there are only three white people, born and raised Canadians. The rest are all Indians including the manager and will frequently talk amongst themselves loudly in Punjabi while we're trying to serve customers in the English language. That's actually against policy but Canadians are so outnumbered by immigrants and specifically Indians in this place that it never gets enforced properly. I've never been anti-immigration but it's gotten so bad in Canada especially in places like Ontario that I'm now against it and will tell anyone regardless of their skin color to avoid immigrating here. I've been on a wait list for a doctor for over 11 years, I know people who have died from cancer due to delayed referrals due to long wait list for additional screening, it's insane and absolutely ridiculous especially considering the amount of taxes I currently pay and have paid my entire life as a born and raised Canadian.\n\nAlso it's absolutely true every single one is either taking or has taken post-secondary studies in business admin or management. We don't need more people in these fields we need Healthcare sector workers and not a single one that I've spoken with which again is quite a few studied anything related to medicine Healthcare nursing... not one.

The root cause of WHAT IS GOING ON HERE is simple. Both Canada + the USA are currently run by GLOBALIST TOTALITARIAN ORWELLIAN PIGS , calling themselves Progressive Democrats and Canada’s Liberal and NDP coalition. Both our Countries are being destroyed by the HARD LEFT MARXIST ideology. Of course Australia and THE Western World is plagued by the same Social and Political unrest. Short answer is KICK OUT THE COMMUNISTS.

Hi USA ?? , GREETINGS FROM UK ?? MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BEING DUMPED ON US. CRIME THROUGH THE ROOF. UK CURRENTLY RIOTING. RESIST WHILST YOU STILL CAN. ❤❤❤

Apologies, our government is currently highly corrupt. God bless

If this report is up to date the Canadian government lied, shocker. Months ago they stated Canada would reinstate visa requirements for Mexican citizens and if current this means that they haven't.

Canadas currently busy screwing its own citizens to give two sh!ts about who leaves to the states illegally

I live in Michigan and have been seeing them coming from Canada for a few years something needs to be done and current government doesn't care

13k have illegally crossed from Canada in 2024, not “just crossed”. Prior to our current criminal leaders it was between 4-6k per year.

Look at the current crisis in UK. That’s where this is headed.

A long time ago, it used to be beneficial to go to cities where you could get a job making 5-10x the money you could in a rural town. Now it's the opposite. Current cities have reached their maximum growth because the first wavers have decided to pull up the ladder. They want their investments in property to remain high so they block new construction that would otherwise lower their house prices. And that's totally fair. They want to have the maximum standard of living and that's the best way to do it. Fair market bro. But a lot of people, especially politicians, can't plan more than 6 months in advance because of elections. Bad management in certain cities instead of looking for new markets. Medium sized cities are the next best option, since they can actually grow somewhat. The absolute best option is to get an education debt free and then work remotely in a very cheap area with all the luxuries you want.

Caps are good and reducing the current permanent immigration should also be done

I agree to reduce drastically the number of immigrants until the current ones are dealt with

Sir, i am also a govt official like u and applied for immigration, i am currently 37 years old, so it is still best decision to come as i am also fed up like u.\n P.S my sibling also living in Alberta

Well as for my experience, I don't even think the education system of this so called developed countries is that great. Like take for my example, I am currently undertaking MSc Biotechnology degree from University of Glasgow in UK, which is considered to be under Top 100 universities in the world by many ranking agency. My academic experience in this university was not at all good, the theoretical lectures were pretty average, the laboratory work was very repetitive, just doing the same thing over and over again, they didn't even teach us how to operate even one complex instrument, it feels like we are a cash cow for this big universities. I highly suggest if anyone is thinking of pursuing a bachelors or master's degree from such countries don't do it. Save your money. Yes, but if you are planning to pursue a PhD then you are most welcome, but only do PhD when you've had a fully funded scholarship+ stipend.

Sad to say this isn’t the old days anymore to where an act of invasion like this probably get ya killed, we can’t continue to let these people come into our country unchecked it isn’t right to each and every American ?? citizen present today and those in the past especially those who died to protect our country and our freedoms, with the rights ? we don’t need more bad in this country we have plenty or way to much.. not to say everyone has bad intentions but let’s be honest it isn’t impossible to get into this fine country legally and that’s how we like it. It’s fair to you and everyone in this nation.. we have the greatest country ever on this earth currently and these days everything at stake, there’s to much going on with this planet ? ? ? then ☝️ can shake a stick at? all ims saying come with ❤and we welcome you ?
