I wonder if things would be better if all countries close their borders. And didn't allow migraines?

They all thought they can become a CEO or something close

You should tell us how many Indian immigrants actually went back to India . Not many . I have seen 20% interest rate here and you think 5% interest rate is high . Indian community is the richest immigrant community in North America . People move to United States and move back to Canada which is normal . 17.5% left Canada but 82.5% are still here , what does that tell you ? There is housing shortage and that will be solved in time . A lot of these problems are caused due to covid shutdown and excessive immigrants coming from India . Question should be asked why so many leaving India ? In 2021 and 2022 , about 900000 Indian immigrants came to Canada and 2023 will likely be close to half a million . We Indian may not like cold weather but we are very comfortable in inside house . So far this year I only had to shovel snow twice and not for months . There is no shortage of job opportunities but One need to be flexible of courier . Canada still tops in most standards and consistently in top 10 among all countries of the world .

All ? should be closed. The uk is NOT a Muslim country

failed democrat policies is why this is happening . America is closed for business. learn from our mistakes here in Europe

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography in Mexico (INEGI), 66.1 percent of all women ages 15 and older have experienced some kind of violence in their lives.Forty-nine percent have suffered from emotional violence; 29 percent have suffered from emotional-patrimonial violence or discrimination; 34 percent from physical violence; and 41.3 percent of women have suffered from sexual violence.\n \nNot all of these men who cross the border are fleeing Mexico to avoid violence. Logic should tell you a fair amount is crossing to avoid capture. (Hypothetically) Even if 99% were innocent men just too scared to live in Mexico, close the borders to them and go through the process legally so we can weed out the 1% of rapists

Sorry , you dont get to come in tou our country by force. If we tried that in their countries wed be locked up. Close the border

...why Egypt closed their border with palistine?

This shit is insane along with migrants jumping nyc cops close tbe boarders now!!

Islam is said to bind people together. This is only a half-truth. For Islam divides as inexorably as it binds. Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is a brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity,” BR Ambedkar

We need all our borders closed permanently. Or this is never going to end.\nOur country is barely making ends meet as it is altogether.

finish the wall and close the border and garrison the walls with Guards and CBP units and add more C wires.

TEXAS IS RIGHT!!! CLOSE THE BORDER. INVASION!

I am glad you are following your heart and your beliefs as parents. I am first generation American of Mexican parents and live in Arizona. I have been told to go back where I came from which is Comical as Az. was México first. I see whats happening their and glad I am here. I totally get that going back to Gaza for you is out of the question but hope you find your happiness somewhere close. The world, not just Canada is going down the drain. Ask any Eukrainian. I am comforted that humans have abused humans forever. Hmmm the Romans, Egyptians, Germans, ...Oh well, our turn. Seriously, wish you the best.

Sounds like immigration was the kickstarer to your problem. Anyone with basic education would understand that. More people, more cost. Time to close your welcoming arms and focus on fixing your cities. But people are just too afraid to say that. just remember YOU GUYS VOTED FOR THIS.

Rumor mill USA closing Border Remove Joe Biden 2024

Close the BORDER

Until 90% of Americans attain the American Dream, END ALL immigration and naturalization. END ALL asylum seeking policies. These people MUST fix THEIR own countries. Until the Federal budget is BALANCED, PERMANENTLY CLOSE the borders. With all of the various trafficking and devastating impact on American communities, those borders should have been PERMANENTLY CLOSED 40 years ago. A Great Superpower ought to be able to protect its borders. So, what's REALLY going on...?

This is an invasion. Turn away all males of or close to military age

Oh yea the border is secure and closed.\n -biden and mayorkes

Good for you. I think what you are talking about many muslims are feeling. So my advice is find out where you are going and make it an easy place for muslims to get into despite their finances, then help others to do hijrah. Like to be a support. I am up for it. Sana I know you from Senegence. I am doing a global business now, if you want info please reach out. Everyone should have multiple streams of income. I used to think Jordan but that is so close. What about Indonesian? Qatar? UAE is expensive otherwise that would be our choice. Not just the political but the banks, visa, capital one, taxes, and maybe even pensions have funds supporting there. Being brown didn't make me feel like an outsider but when I started to wear the hijab is when I felt I didn't belong. What a sad reality. Canada was so nice. I feel sad so so many going homeless and such. The poor pensioners having to not have enough for food because rent is so high. There is good people here. Oh and the injustice of hate crimes, like really?

I think the homicides and violence are closely related to Canada's Xenophia / Racism and Drugs, particularly in Vancouver which has full neighborhoods packed with unemployed Junkies doing nothing.\n\n* Downtown East is where the Cops throw the Junkies if they ever walk around the Tourism area. Similar to a Jail without fences. why? cause they need to sell a beautiful and secure Canadian Life to the World.

OK hear me out, I’m a Jewish American but I have always been quite critical of Israel especially in the last 3 decades under the Likud government it’s nationalism and imperialism, with regard to its settlements and attitudes to Palestine. That said… Every time we’re close to creating good world sympathy for a Palestinian state, the power-hungry radicals of the Palestinian people always somehow ruin the progress, taking advantage of a power vacuum, and it’s stirring up the people once again that Israel Has to be destroyed off the face of the map. Then on top of that, during peaceful times with momentum for a two state solution, something always ruins it, in this case it was Hamas, seizing power over Gaza with the statement that Israel needed to be destroyed. Then Israel made sanctions to try to make that government fail, but, of course, as we know, it only starved the people and made them angrier and then they did this awful, unspeakable, brutal attack. Hamas is still attacking to this day. If Hamas wants to cease fire, they need to also stop attacking Israel and come to the table and come up with a two states solution and accept Israel. Israel is of course going too far as they often do but it’s a tough call as to what Israel should really be doing right now, while their constantly under attack and threat from their neighbors in a very active way every day.

Us hypocrites in the USA want to close the borders to people but it’s OK for your tractor/trailers to bring our high profit goods back to the USA. As long as our greedy, corrupt politicians, investors and corporate suits are making big profits. Hypocrisy, abuse, oppression and racism at its finest since 1607.

The labor shortage even if that were true will correct itself as thousands of small businesses close because they can't repay the CEBA loans.

Sar Maine to Yahan Tak bola hai ki meri bank statement bahut acchi hai aur yah bola Khali closing balance ka bata de ke account mein Rakhna jaruri hai ya nahin Jaruri

I'm perfectly happy with Canada and being Canadian. My business is thriving. I don't own a house (i'm 50) and probably won't. They aren't good investments and both a recession and a housing crash are necessary to lower prices. \n\nLet me say something about the housing crisis - it's not immigration. Canadians are overleveraged. Many own second, third and fourth properties that they rent out. Once they have to renew into the teeth of higher rates you'll start to see a correction like what we saw in the 1980s. Couple that with higher unemployment and you have a recipe for a crash. Everyone wants lower house prices -- until we get them. Go try to renew your 600,000k mortgage on your million-dollar house that's now worth $800,000. \n\nHealth care is a problem - but where isn't it? The UK? The US? Many parts of the US are close to third-world countries. \n\nI'm happy here. The rest of the world seems bonkers by comparison. Go ahead and leave.

I don’t agree fully but he does have a point , if the surrounding nations are responsible to take in Palestinians in this situation all of Gaza is refugees so you would be excepting Israel’s terms of ethnic cleansing illegal settlements and forced diaspora but at the same time if families are running for there lives how can you close the boarders on them ? That’s too extreme you have to be able to adjust to the situation while still supporting a free Palestine …

they just built 10,000 housing units in my city close to the University so who is coming to my town ?

So colleges in ontario bc and novascotia close down and all staff fired and claim unemployment fir 2 years from funds. . More colleges in nunavut yukon? That will need funds to build college uni houses in nunavet yukon and other such provices? I am so confused, my inner vouce talking

It was only few months ago Canada announced a historic fast TVE for spouses and close relatives of PR and Work permit holders. Now, we hear this. I am afraid if there is a data/knowledge based decision.

Why not close our borders too! It's not only international students are the problem. Refugees and immigrants too!

Close the border,trump 2024?

We need to close all of these puppy mill schools. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are using phony schools to enter America!!

Without international students, the colleges will all go bankrupt and close down.

why not close these puppy mills and let the quality institute take in international students? best of both worlds, if you can afford 40-60k a year for 2-4 years, you’re pretty much set to immigrate here

Sure - they’ll get arrested - as if THAT would stop them. Look they’re still crossing. That won’t work. A closed border should mean exactly what it is. Physically closed and they should be turned back or this continues.

My electric engineering course for 1 semester cost less then $3,000, talked to one of the Indian students and they have to pay close to $16,000

Listen closely to what he says back. He doesn't want the Palestinians

Canada's accepting too much of everyone. They need to close the doors. All of these newcomers are only exacerbating the existing housing shortage, driving up rental costs for everyone, and taxing our social and health care systems.

Finally someone is talking bout this. Something needs to be done. Close the doors to Canada until we can take care of Canadians who were born here.

Then close down

close the borders! Canada is ruined!

Food banks are now closing in my area because these students are now going there for free food. Food banks were not set up to feed international students!!

The answer is yes. Those students know that it is a ticket to stay. A foot in the door. They are a strain on government services, housing, food banks and most come here without proper resources that is one of the requirements for entry. Even if they pay more it shouldn't take spaces that Canadian should be entitled to. They take jobs that belong to Canadians, housings that belong to Canadians. In london ontario close to 12 thousand international students take up the affordable housing for people of london. This causes so much distress on the low income people try to find a place .Then greed of developers and landlords causes the rents to go up so much that those on fixed incomes can't afford there rents and rent evictions happen as landlord look to cash in . Time to stop this madness. Local government in london has done little to stop this issue either.

It doesn’t help when Ford freezes tuition but allows more student visas. It’s a cash cow for these schools. These “students” end up working taking jobs from our own kids and keep wages suppressed. If universities have to close programs and administration take a big pay cut that could also offer some assistance and yeah put money back into education

If colleges don’t have money to survive without high numbers of international students, they should be CLOSED. We don’t need puppy mills.\nA city of 100k doesn’t need 10 colleges with enrollment of 5k students each\nAlso only allow international students in Universities not strip mall colleges

Literally all that needs to be done is close diploma mills. Legitimate Universities can only have so many seats in their programs

How about closing some schools or parts of schools would save the money.

When you see movies set in the past at university's, students are always living in dorms 6 people to a room etc. Fastest way to build more beds is to build dorms, smash up hostels close to university's... big benefit in the international students paying more than local students, to make it cheaper for Canadians. Also the international students do all the jobs currently screaming for workers
