I think the difference or reason people are upset with modern immigrants is they never even try to assimilate. They all bring their culture here and ignore the western ways.

Even the 2nd generation info Canadians I grew up hate these new fucking wave it isn't a white vs brown it's Canadians vs those who won't adapt My wife's Russian speaks Russian my kids speak Russian So I'm not against immigration People saying they can't find work just aren't willing to look around in my city I can think of 10 plus company's hiring but it's construction but immigrants look down on it as it was low paying not respected etc back home Prime example is central america
Frames conflict as 'Canadians vs those who won't adapt' (identity/belonging) while also critiquing immigrants' rejection of construction work (economic).

I came here 40 yrs ago and adapted and never had a hand out by the government and just worked but lately all I see are new immigrants not adapting or trying so I can see why all the resentment against immigrants.I unfortunately have to say Indians and Arabic culture doesn’t want to conform to their adopted country so we have to limit these group.

As a Canadian born, brown resident of Brampton, it truly sucks to see the Canadian culture we all love be completed obliterated by large scale, unchecked immigration from India specifically. In the gym, grocery store and most other common spaces, people speak Punjabi, not English. Truly horrible what happened to what was once such an awesome country and the worst part of it is, nobody, no policy maker will ever face justice for the cultural destruction they have caused. Sometimes though, I think, maybe Canada and Canadians dug their own grave. They/we voted in Liberal leadership time and time and time again, even when we saw our country being destroyed, in front of our very eyes.
Extended personal narrative asserting Canadian identity while expressing cultural displacement anxiety and blaming immigration policy and political leadership.
