The "immigrants" were basically lied to by our government at the behest of the business world to get them to come here. Many will tell you as much. Full stop.

I've seen this happen first-hand.

Two years ago I saw a posting for a journalist position at a science magazine I have a work connection with. The qualifications were a minimum masters degree in chemistry or biology and a journalism background (two sets of qualifications very few people have). The pay for a full-time permanent position was $32,000/year. Unsurprisingly, they couldn't find a single Canadian to fill the position, so they turned to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to get someone.

This shit happens all the time.

Don't kick an immigrant for coming here, kick a greedy predatory businessman who doesn't want to pay Canadians their fair worth.

Also, this is definitely a problem the current Liberal government has ramped up, but do not expect the Conservatives, who will likely form the next government, to stop it.
Why do you think the conservatives won’t stop it?
It was the liberals that ramped up immigration numbers past the point that we can absorb them.

The Conservatives won't stop it because they support this horse shit just as much. Look who the biggest supporters of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is. If you think it's the NDP, you've got another thing coming.

There is absolutely no difference I see between the Liberals and the Conservatives when it comes to the cancer that is big business.

Who's on first?

There are no innocent in this.
Go on keeping your head in the ground.

I wasn't referring to 'innocent', I was clearly pointing out the real problem.

This.
It makes me so mad.
It makes me mad that despite this Trudeau is looking to import 600K temporary workers in 2025.
The entire temporary foreign worker program needs to be terminated. Period!!

Been saying this for quite some time. Part of the 'show' is making people believe otherwise.
Exactly. It's window dressing the Liberals put up. The only thing that's slightly more palatable about the Liberals over the Cuntservatives is that the Libranos don't steal from the US Republican Party playbook on social issues like the CPC does.

Aside from that, the LPC and the CPC are virtually the same.

I'd take a Jack Layton NDP government or a Joe Clark Progressive Conservative government over any of the shitty offerings we have today in this country.

Born and raised in the city.
I love that you can go anywhere and experience different cultures and experiences.
It just seems that we have opened the flood gates on immigration and not has made a mess of this city.
I’ve had qualified friends apply for numerous jobs either skilled trades, retail or office work. None of them have been able to secure a job as it seems the position were giving to immigrants at lower starting wages.
This city was built on the backs of immigrants who came to Canada for a better life. They worked hard , raised a family and contributed back to the community.
This new generation of immigrants are flooding our city, expecting hands outs from our liberal government and working for less money.
I hate to sound racist but this passed weekend events around the city absolutely disgusted me.
The attacks between 2 rival religious groups, the dewali 💩 that happened at Younge/Dundas square and incident of the group that parked illegally.
This is getting out of hand.

My Monday morning rant!
Hope that the ones who illegally set off the fireworks gets fined $1000 for doing so. Victoria Day, Canada Day and New Year's Day are the only acceptable days for fireworks.
Otherwise they need a permit and only to be set off in Parks and Recreation facilities....... not on streets or intersections.
But a foreign nation like India meddling in Canada's democratic rights to demonstrate was one of the reasons that accelerated the rivalry clashes in the Brampton Temple between Hindus and Sikhs.
The fact is also that several fast food and retail outlets have been able to keep their businesses running with this flow of new migrants.
A large proportion of these foreign students are working in these businesses so as to pay for their fees and rents whilst studying in Canada.
The fact is that there is a legislation to pay at least the minimum wages, in Ontario. There are those usual righties that are complaining when the minimum wages are raised, as it would impact the cost of the fast foods, groceries and other necessities. Remember that in Canada even if one migrant has some qualifications such as a degree in Science, Engineering, Medicine etc. they need to either re-qualify in Canada or obtain some Canadian work experience, even though it is not in their line of experience. That is why you see a number of doctors working as taxi drivers, and in retail industries while they are trying to re-qualify with a Canadian Medical Degree. I even came across a migrant who re-qualified with the highest marks as a Doctor and then went on to be a Specialist in Psychiatry. This individual runs their practice and as such is an asset to Canada. There are several such individuals from countries like India, Pakistan, Bangla Desh, Sri Lank and African nations as well. With the new Government legislations especially after the friction with India, the numbers of these students are expected to drop dramatically!!

Remember when conservatives want to control immigration, they are called xenophobes.
Now that the Liberals have made some desperate legislation changes to reduce immigration due to the problem they ignored for so long...will you call them xenophobes as well?

I'll wait...
