Les immigrants ne devraient pas être subventionnés. Ils devraient bénéficier des mêmes opportunités. Ensuite, nous verrons qui est le plus compétent et ce qui est le mieux pour la société et l'économie.

Recruiting foreign military is a bad idea....war i would assume is a very demanding and depressing time which means troops has to be highly motivated, loyal and patriotic. I fail to see a foreign "mercenary" having these traits to defend the honour of Canada.

Canada has lost itself allowing all this mass immigration to happen. I can assure you that there are millions of expired visas and fraudulent visas that the government claims to be checking on...but canadians know that's a lie. So many don't want to learn english, assimilate to Canadian cultures and their entitlement is next level. They think they are above the law. If they love their culture so much and don't want to change...don't come to a better country like Canada just to make our country shit. The first guy speaking truth, even knows it's too much and out of control. And I can assure you all these so called doctors and engineers and so forth aren't the majority of immigrants coming in - being an amazon driver, working at Tim's or a gas station isn't a special skill set. And the smuggler guy - yeah those are exactly the type of people we want in our countries...they are shady, dangerous and break law as like it's a proper day job.
Criticizes government immigration policy and enforcement while making claims about immigrant behavior and cultural assimilation failures.

These applicants were on a TEMPORARY student visa and a TEMPORARY work visa. Do not muddy the issue by terms like Racism, Genocide, Fairness, Persecution etc. All TEMPORARY holders must be traced and made to leave the country.

Critiques government agencies' inability to track and enforce removal of temporary visa holders, focusing on bureaucratic failure.

Somebody needs to write a book on how many ways the Trudeau Liberals screwed us with their ill thought out immigration policies. From Trudeau publicly laughing and inviting illegal, economic immigrants, from around the world, to exploit Roxon road, to his brainless protege Sean Fraser screwing up the immigration file as well as the housing file.... he's still a minister in Carney's minority gov't.....as is Guilbault and that loose cannon Joly.
Sustained criticism of government immigration policy decisions and specific ministers, with implicit call for accountability.
