The people behind The Century Initiative will be very wealthy now thanks to the disaster caused by the mass migration. That wealth will roll into the pockets of the 40% of politicians that own rental properties as well. It's about greed and the disregard of real Canadians who struggle due to their poisonous plans.
Frames immigration as economically motivated conspiracy benefiting elites and politicians, mixing economic grievance with unverified claims about wealth transfer.

Improving the system involves refining immigrant selection and focusing on successful inclusion rather than reducing numbers.
Argues immigrants are economically vital and frames policy gaps rather than immigration itself as the problem, balancing economic and ethical perspectives.
