Needs to be even tighter but since its been so high fir so long it may be too late. Ive seen young Canadians who canet find work and may have to move to the US for good futures some have already started and taking their skills with them. Canada dies not need high levels it needs more affordable homes, better paying jobs, etc do they can have kids and increase the population organically. Parts of Canada dont even look like a North American country. As an immigrant I can tell you that it would be better if Canadians could afford to have more kids
Argues for tighter immigration policy while citing economic concerns (housing, jobs) and personal immigrant perspective on Canada's needs.

Tariffs seems to be everything to do with fentanyl and other drugs that is costing American and Canadian lives. Lets stay positive and totally eliminate trafficking this drug that is taking lives of many people.

This is the Canadian govt’s fault for not making immigration stricter and allowing low tier Indians in. I’m not sure why they weren’t more selective in handing out visas cause their mishandling of immigration just paints a bad picture of all Indian immigrants (even those who assimilate with the country and contribute strongly to the economy). The US at least keeps immigration under control and only allows mostly smart Indians in. The Indian demographic in the US achieved the highest average annual salaries and most have assimilated well. That’s proof the US carried out good immigration control.
Critiques Canadian immigration selectivity while comparing favorably to US practices and making ethnic distinctions about assimilation.

She came here to study. And then she is classed as a TEMPORARY Foreign Worker. She even acknowleges that she doesn't have enough experience under the program's stipulations to stay. Is something lost in translation here? 🧐 She now has transferrable skills AND an education to take back to her home country. AND she can reapply to reimmigrate as a PERMANENT RESIDENT next time. She is exploiting the system.
Analyzes temporary foreign worker program rules and accuses the individual of exploiting the system, questioning the fairness of the arrangement.

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.
Analyzes government policy trade-offs (carbon tax, trade disputes) and critiques both Trump's approach and broader government failures affecting citizens.

I think your title is incorrect, no political party is advocating for more immigration at the moment. The people who are advocating for more migration now have their own personal agendas, this does not represent the country as a whole. The country is not falling apart because of changes in immigration laws.
Critiques the video's title accuracy and argues political parties don't advocate for more immigration currently.

Wherever you are on the political spectrum you have to admit that he's right about what he said at the start. Trump supporters: please look at how Trump is aligning with putin. A country which is antithetical to western & US lifestyle. Why is he befriending the Russians and making enemies with allies? It's so strange

This video is very sugar-coated - it's kinda bad, ngl I feel like my city lost its tradition and fell further to poverty, and it's so so so hard to get employed

She's just gonna work in a store than she doesn't belong in Canada. Only the highly skilled should be allowed to immigrate into Canada.

What do we think about it? I've heard words that are not in any dictionary. Yet, they are understood in their intent. There are too many that are far too ignorant. Those, give them all a bad rep. I don't blame them for being here, except those that don't leave when required. However, the government knew it would be a problem with the numbers allowed; lack of resources to ensure they were sent packing when their time expired. It should be codified in law that if you do nkmot leave, your entire family, including extended family gets the boot.
Critique of government immigration policy for admitting excessive numbers without enforcement mechanisms, proposing punitive legal solutions.
