I like all the diverse cultural influences and the foods they bring. Most are good family oriented people who are willing to work hard at jobs that whites think they are too good for. The main backlash now is due to 2 things. 1) The Donald Trump Effect and 2) Idiots on the internet spreading fake news and hate.
So essentially you want Canada to be a low-tier, poor, underpaying country.

You can have cultural influence without going nuts on immigration.

With the astronomical cost of lodging Canada will never become a low-tier under paying country. The math ain't mathing...

Either we tackle the problem now, massively lower immigration, build government based social housing by the thousands or let the market go and see the society going to shit with criminality and violence.

You need to do two things if you want to lower immigration.
1) Fund universities more so they don't rely on international students
2) Raise minimum wage so Canadians can afford to take those jobs that temporary foreign workers are filling

I'll agree on one thing, yes the math ain't adding up. Full-time employed people can't make ends meet.

Once inflation sucks up and absorbs the baby boomer wealth, things are going to get real serious here.

Simple because Canadians are struggling with the cost of life and the Gov is flooding the country with more people that are struggling and can't afford the cost of rent., food , gas. Not even welfare is covering the cost of living.

Some people are beginning to realize that the financial viability of our health care system depended upon most taxpayers contributing to the system for most of their lives while healthy and only drawing upon the system heavily during a relatively brief period of retirement.

Our immigration system, especially the family reunification and refugee claimant aspects of the system, upsets the financial balance. Too many immigrants are accessing these resources before they have contributed enough to the system.

Add to that the shortage of family doctors. That shortage affects new Canadians much more frequently than longer term citizens. Without family doctors, people use emergency rooms and emergency services (paramedics) for basic health care. Go to any hospital emergency room and see for yourself.

Immigration of the elderly is not the only problem our health care system faces, but it is a readily visible one.

It's there, it's just not covered by any mainstream media outlets. Go to social sites twitter or TikTok, you'll see stuff there.

Health care is provincial and DoFo has given us the lowest per capita spending in the country.
Immigration isn't the problem, its the use of temporary foreign workers as 'serfs'.

Housing and climate change. Displaced foreigners want to come here and compete with displaced Canadians. The housing crisis is through the roof (pun intended) People living here can't always afford both rent and food. Easy to blame "outsiders"...

Its time for a real discussion about the use of Temporary Foreign Workers displacing Canadians with close to slave labour for Timmies.
The federal program has been corrupted by provincial and corporate interests.

They only did because it's written by an immigrant from India. It links to another article in the Financial Post.
.
I've said it before that unchecked mass immigration will eventually lead to a decline in GDP per capita. Looks like the decline is here.
Except Canada's economy is doing the best in the G7.

And the media and social media.
That's a big part of it. Socials promote incendiary content because anger drives their bottom line.

It's too bad that people have been convinced that they can be informed by simply reading random shit that the algorithm feeds them. It's that first peak on the Dunning-Kruger curve

white people don't want to make babies. Now white people are scared as fuck - and they should be. They have the most to lose and the most grudges against them.

Demography is destiny.
That's just the narrative being pushed.

Any time things are tough, whether inflationary or employment, people start worrying about losing what they have and therefore look for someone to blame. The Media (especially in the US) realizes they can no longer openly stoke fear of black men so they code it in terms like 'urban' and try to focus us on (non-white) immigrants. Notice there hasn't been a big uproar about the number of Ukrainian refugees in recent years?

...

As you said yourself, this has been true throughout history. Shouldn't we have known that a massive increase in immigration would cause an inevitable backlash?
Simple because Canadians are struggling with the cost of life and the Gov is flooding the country with more people that are struggling and can't afford the cost of rent., food , gas. Not even welfare is covering the cost of living.
Massive increase? Flooding?

According to wikipedia, the immigration rate (as a percentage of population) hasn't changed significantly in forever. Except for 2020 (covid) the immigration rate has been in the 0.7%to 1.2% range. At best you could claim that the immigration rate is slightly higher the past two years.

Without a doubt this issue is racialized as fuck.
That being said it is also an issue of second world countries versus Third World countries. Chances are someone who came from a third world country is going to be happier on social assistance then someone from a second world country who may feel that is not enough and will become a productive member of society faster.

and then there’s this:

This youtuber discovers a massive loophole being exploited in Canada to allow immigrants into the country and undermines Canadian workers.

In summary, Companies post jobs online but don't hire Canadians, then apply for an LMIA to get a foreign worker, after that they give the job to a recruiter that SELLS the job to the highest bidder as a to get quick immigration.
