Oh! Many immigrants are going to be leaving? I'll hold the door open for them. No disrespect intended. I know there are many hard-working immigrants who have contributed a lot to our country. That being said, I myself am third generation, which most of the boomer era are.

Which “Immigrants have historically been a crucial driver of economic expansion in Canada? Where is your empirical evidence, Monsieur? Or, you just said it thinking that we will not pay attention to the fallacy. What a poor social-economic-political analysis. Sorry, Canada cannot take care of the whole world while some Canadians are in dare situation and the influx of immigrants are stifling off the resources and billions are given to foreign country to aid war.

His best advice is “comply” he said bring taxes and proof of bank accounts. Just don’t go, they don’t want anybody there anyway, not even their own citizens.
