I live next to a historical house in my town which was known as "the cherry hill house", it went through a few owners as a restaurant and now its currently owned by indians who turned it into some hip trendy indian (albeit they make a very wide variety of food and the food itself is good) restaurant covering the over 200 year old house in fake flowers and christmas lights, it hurts how little they care about the buildings history

As an immigrant in Canada 🇨🇦, this country has been good to me, my kids were born on this land. Had I been raised in my birth country. I could not have brought any kids in this life. THANK YOU Canada. Now, it is appalling to see a whole bunch of immigrants using Cdns soft side to play with the system. They are all refugees. C’mon just on my freaking street every other building is rented by 2-3 immigrants. Which means no flat is left for people whom lwere either burned in Canada or legally immigrated here This massive immigration must stop.
Immigrant's lived experience expressing gratitude for Canada while criticizing system abuse and calling for immigration restrictions.

You know, I am an immigrant myself but I have always have had a beef how other immigrants act all entitled. Immigrating is like going to live in another people's house, you have to respect the rules of that house. I hate people trying to change the rules to their convenience. I know a lot of immigrants just living off the system, I work 2 jobs and the day I was laid off I refused to collect EI out of self respect, why because I knew I could find another job. But many is like they are looking forward to get laid off or fired to collect government benefits. I couldn't believe that the police and military actually modified their customs to allow Indians to wear turbant. I applaud the people that requested in Ontario to do not wear any religious stuff, because people is only Canadian when is convenient, when not they are Muslims, Indians, etc. that's total BS you are Canadian? act like one, be one all the time; if not go back wherever you came from don't bring more problems to a place that already has more than enough
Immigrant's lived experience criticizing other immigrants for entitlement and system abuse, with strong identity-based arguments about Canadian belonging.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

I support you Prime Minister. In 2016 the day after “he” was elected I started my research to figure out how we could move to Canada. It wasn’t possible for us at the time. I’m so deeply saddened by this monstrous and despicable decision by him that will affect both of our countries so horribly.

This is a huge win and any smooth brain saying “ diDnT tHEY jUsT hAvE aLbErTa is cALliNg” ? Yes. We need skilled trades workers. Not more foreign students who get jobs at Tim’s or at any small retail/ gas station. If you guys will still complain about this even after we’re getting the healthcare spending and wage increases you really are shills who are just here to push an agenda. You don’t actually care about the betterment of Canada or the quality of life for Canadians here. I as an albertan blue collar worker am beyond happy with these changes and the fact that they’re putting it to a vote get over yourselves please.
First-person account from an Albertan blue-collar worker expressing support for skilled trades immigration policy while dismissing critics as agenda-driven.
