Hello, I found this article on Druthers.ca, one of the remaining true newspapers in Canada. The author talks about the effects of mass immigration on Canada. I will post an excerpt below, to give you guys an idea. You can also see the full article here: https://druthers.ca/ten-reasons-to-rethink-mass-immigration-to-canada/ If the link doesn't work, just head to Druthers.ca, then go to Read at the very top. Select By Subject, then select the tag Immigration. Look for the article titled "Ten Reasons To Rethink Mass Immigration To Canada". While you are on Druthers, feel free to check out the rest of the articles. They have some really good ones, the ones that they don't want you to read. >>>>> Swiss novelist Max Frisch, referring to the foreign “guest workers” allowed into Europe after the Second World War, said, “We wanted workers…but we got people instead.” 1. Housing Crisis This one is simple enough: Prices are determined by the relationship between supply and demand. As Canada’s population has grown through large-scale immigration, which reached a rate of nearly 1.3 million in 2023 alone (when including non-permanent residents like foreign workers and international students), both home prices and rents have soared. Vancouver, Toronto, and Hamilton are now the three least affordable cities in North America. In his 2010 book Millionaire Migrants, UBC (University of British Columbia) Professor David Ley found a positive correlation coefficient of 0.94 between Vancouver and Toronto house prices and net international migration. For more evidence on the relationship between immigration and housing prices, check out Madeline Weld’s excellent article on the topic: “Blatantly Oblivious to the Blindingly Obvious.” The result is social chaos and displacement, with younger generations feeling locked out of the housing market and delaying having children, and elderly Canadians on a fixed income returning to work to meet rent or mortgage payments. 2. Strained Healthcare This one is also pretty simple: Immigrants need healthcare too! Adding large numbers of future patients from overseas every year is exacerbating the pre-existing problems with our healthcare system. Though the population has grown by 5 million people in the last ten years alone, Canada has added just 167 medical residencies. In 2023, Canada accepted 471,550 permanent residents, as well as around 800,000 foreign workers and international students. Despite the federal government’s claim that the solution is to bring in doctors and nurses from overseas, in reality, we only accept about 4,000 immigrant healthcare workers per year. As a result, more than 6 million Canadians and counting do not have access to a family doctor. 3. Farmland Loss Despite having the second-largest landmass in the world, just 4.3% of Canada is arable, and 90% of Canadians live in a winding line of settlements within 160 KM of the U.S. border. Most immigrants settle in this same strip, which drives urban expansion: 15 million acres of farmland have been lost since 1976. Ontario loses 319 acres of farmland every day. Since 2001, Canada has lost the equivalent of seven small farms per day. This loss of farmland weakens Canada’s food security, forcing us to depend on importing food from other nations—in an increasingly fractious world order. It also fuels urbanization, threatening Canada’s beloved countryside landscapes, and the rural lifestyle many of us are attached to. 4. Crowding of Schools Like so many effects of mass immigration, the overcrowding of Canadian schools is a function of the law of supply and demand—which our political elite is apparently unaware of! Simply put: Provinces and school districts are being overwhelmed by large numbers of additional students from newly-settled immigrant families. In Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown and Stratford received 375 newcomer students who were neither predicted nor planned for. Surrey, B.C., is considering putting schools in high rises! To be sure, school crowding is not the fault of the immigrant families in question. Both immigrant and native-born Canadians alike are the victims of the classroom crowding caused by an out-of-control federal immigration policy. 5. Foreign Interference From the alleged Chinese interference in recent Canadian elections to the assassination of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a Surrey temple, Canada is now a hotspot for foreign interference. While politicians of all stripes have denounced the meddling of foreign states in Canadian affairs, none have explicitly linked it to the presence of large foreign diaspora populations on Canadian soil. The fact is, the presence of large diasporas invites foreign interference. This is especially true of China, which considers all ethnic Chinese to be nationals of China—regardless of their place of residency. For Xi Jinping, overseas Chinese play an irreplaceable role in China’s rise. The link between diaspora populations and foreign interference appears to be an ironclad rule of geopolitics, and has been seen in Europe as well, with Turkish president Erdogan urging Turks in Germany to vote against German Chancellor Merkel after a diplomatic rupture between the countries. 6. Declining Living Standards Large-scale immigration is touted as necessary to Canada’s economic success, but this could not be further from the truth. While Canada’s immigration-driven population growth does grow the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it lowers GDP per capita. In other words, while the economic pie grows, most people’s slice gets smaller! This process has gotten so bad that the National Bank of Canada released a report warning that Canada is in a “population trap” whereby any increase in living standards is impossible—a problem which usually occurs in emerging economies like India or Sub-Saharan Africa! 7. Urban Sprawl and Densification The federal government describes immigration in abstract terms: addressing labour shortages, offsetting ageing populations, or growing the GDP. In reality, immigrants are not just workers, they are people—people who need a roof over their heads! To accommodate immigration-driven population growth, a large amount of Canada’s energy and wealth is spent endlessly building both single-family developments and high rises. The urban sprawl strategy is most visible in places like Calgary, with new cookie-cutter developments being continually built on the surrounding prairie. Alberta saw a population boom of 184,000 in 2023 alone (with international migration accounting for far more than interprovincial migration), so this looks likely to continue. The densification approach is most apparent in British Columbia, which recently abolished single-family zoning in most communities to accommodate immigration-driven population growth. 8. Declining Social Cohesion Social cohesion is a measure of the strength of the bonds linking members of a group to each other—and to the group itself. As ethnic and cultural diversity increases because of large-scale immigration, the number and severity of society’s cultural fault lines increases. One way in which this is manifesting in Canadian society is brawls between or within diaspora groups. On September 2nd, 2023, about 150 Eritreans clashed in the parking lot of Calgary’s Falconridge Plaza, armed with sticks and pipes. Similar clashes occurred in Edmonton and Toronto. The origin of the disputes was a difference of views about the government in Eritrea. In November of 2023, viral videos emerged of a clash between Hindus and Sikhs on Diwali in Mississauga. 9. Incompatible Cultural Practices Most of Canada’s immigration now comes from India, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. While culturally rich in their own way, cultures and religions in these regions often hold values diametrically opposed to those of Anglo Canadian and Quebecois society. The result is the import of behaviours incompatible with—or even offensive to—the Canadian way of life, such as: A furniture store in Richmond, British Columbia, advertising for a “Chinese sales person.” A daycare worker in the Quebec city region discovering, while changing a young girl’s diaper, that she had been the victim of female genital mutilation. The revelation in Quebec that three schools had set up Muslim prayer rooms, segregated by gender. The construction of a 55-foot-tall statue of Hanuman, a Hindu god and “commander of the monkey army,” in Brampton, Ontario. Discriminatory rental ads specifying that apartments or houses will be rented to “Indians only.” The controversial spread of massive Chinese “monster homes” in Vancouver, British Columbia. >>>>> Let me know what you guys think.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/23/secret-service-director-resigns-after-trump-shooting-fallout-00170580 I hope they pick someone who doesn't let Presidential candidates get shot at.

I remember being told but most of the mainstream media that Trump was advising people to inject bleach when he asked some experts a question about if it was possible to somehow use disinfectants internally to target the 'rona virus. To be fair, it was a dumb question. But it wasn't reported that way.

Great response. About what I'd expected. Empty useless crap.

Yes the Iran/China/Russia/North Korea alliance will be jumping for joy if she's elected.

But will they use it "wisely"? History tells us they won't. I fail to understand what natives have against being Canadian. Originally the deal was they wanted nothing to do with the colonizers. That didn't last long before they demanded "perks". We want immigrants to assimilate and become Canadians. Yet we allow the natives to skirt assimilation. Why? Do the natives not have any patriotism for Canada? It appears not. So why do we consistently cow to them? The average Canadian will see benefits from the pipelines. Why do natives need extra benefits?

Of course not. The entire made-up claim that VPs have magic powers to crown themselves winner of the election no matter anyone else says or thinks is just bullshit that dumbass MAGA conspiracy kooks invented after Trump LOST Seriously how stupid does someone have to be to believe that after the American founding fathers crafted all these elaborate checks and balances and rule upon rule to preserve democracy, they decided any VP can just randomly cancel the election results based on nothing but their own personal whim, AND that the founders then wrote nothing about what should happen next if such a thing happens? Even though such a thing is not even possible, the mere fact that so many MAGAS wanted and hoped for Pence do such a thing is proof they’re undemocratic fascists who want to seize power by any means possible, democracy be damned.

Spoken like a good leftist/liberal who doesn't know what is going on in the world or likes authoritarian Communist countries. Too bad you don't understand how they are meddling with Canada's political system, interfering with elections, and spreading their tentacles through western democracies to undermine them. Dealing with the Devil has its consequences.

You don't have to start a thread about every talking point you're being fed on Alt-Right message boards.

It's a game. It's your weird verson of sealioning. Like you honestly cant' remember what he said one post earlier. It's you dodging the question in a fashion that you feel you can PRETENED is reasonable later when you get called on it. But it's not. Might fly with the preschoolers you debate with but anyone else is going to see it for the bullshit it is. Oh and look - you got called on your dishonestly but go on to explain how it's all OUR fault again! Tsk tsk what a naughty group we are. Your dishonest discourse is your own doing, not anyone else's.

Had to be done. You can't let the former/future pres get shot and keep that job. that's just the way it is.

You claimed you didn't remember what YOU said! You made him repeat YOUR statement of just a few posts earlier. And yes it's very clearly a game to you, including this little fake misunderstanding about what i was talking about. Just taking the opportunity to point out to you and everyone else that you're a dishonest poster and the LAST thing you're interested in is civil discourse.

A certain someone wants privileged, insider information. There are reasons why the police and other agencies do not just open the case file up to everyone and tell everyone everything. Its a conspiracy.. some grand cabal.

The silly idea the tragic assassination attempt on former President Trump was a professional "hit" over looks the obvious. A professional would know a head shot at that range at a target bobbing around is uncertain. A professional would aim for the centre of mass with hollow points. A professional would also do his research to find out if the target is wearing a vest. The former President was not wearing a vest. There is the photo of the SS lifting him to his feet and the top few buttons of his shirt were open. No vest. A professional would know that. When I was being issued with my vest, I told her, "If someone points a gun at me, I won't need a vest. I'll need Depends."

Yes, he would. A lie is not the same as an outlandish prediction as you already know.

Everyone who successfully campaigns for their party's nomination denies all other candidates a chance to be president. Why did the Florida Panthers win the cup when someone else could have?

Trudeau: "Look at this... We're heroes! We helped so many people.:

GOOD! Now for Mayorkis.

I tried that decades ago. In the meantime try following your own advice and stop posting unintelligent crap and refrain from cancelling/labelling people by comparing them to the worst mass murderers in human history. In any case its great to see people like you finally speaking out against our cozy relations with dictators. Took you long enough and while it's too little too late it's better than never. It's even a little vindicating actually.

Who donated money to the Democrats more recently. Go figure. IS there a democrat named Chud? He keeps bringing up this 'Chud' person....

Always funny to see you crying foul on this forum. Karen's gonna Karen. 🤷‍♂️

They're gonna need it for all the gaslighting they'll be doing.

Where's the money coming from? How are these indigenous groups going to come up with the +$10B this 30% stake would be worth? Are we supposing that they have that squirreled away somewhere? 🙄

Kamala bringing fairy lights, good will and happy endings gushing from the MSM.

Yes, but if you're going to quote the IMF's data, why would you dismiss their write-up? The analysis and context they provide is more meaningful than the single data point pulled by a history grad writing for the National Post, wouldn't you think? The actual economists (both at the IMF and domestically) are aware that a single economic data point is meaningless, and they're painfully clear that this is a matter of population growth and immigration, rather than economic outperformance.

When Kamala becomes the official nominee we will be subjected a series of Hallmark Christmas in August movies.

Maybe you should ask CNN. https://news.rediff.com/commentary/2024/jul/15/forensics-say-as-many-as-3-guns-fired-at-trump-rally/1ed6db4dcbd7ec050ea60377cc81f192

This is true. It all went down hill with that modern day lynching they dished out to Clarence Thomas..now it's just flat out communism where they subvert the will of the voter in their own primary

Our brains are wired differently.

What if she had pink skin, red lips, blond hair and blue eyes. Wouldn't that be a female person of colour.

Wrong. My daughter the model, looks very much like me. As does one of our twin boys(fraternal). The other boy has my temper...poor bugger...and his Czech grandfather's physique. Big...muscular...lumbering. My daughter is marrying a male model from a wealthy family. Twin A will get his degree in media next Spring and by the end of November, Twin B will be a firefighter. My high-strung Euro-babe wife and I managed to collect enough properties to bestow a house on each. How 'bout you...Chrissy Baby? How's them kneecaps holdin' up? Have a warm and fuzzy day you loser.

It does Lots and lots. It crosses land that is already expressly recognized as first nation in many places. The courts recognize these specific lands so we're past that. The use of and risk to the land they control. I'm with you, they go way too far and doing so turns the first nations into essentially a child ethnicity that needs big uncle gov't to hold their hands for them becuase they can't build or solve anything on their own. But - this is not that. This is a reasonable deal. "if you agree to the risks and problems with allowing this construction and transport of oil on your lands, we'll let you participate so you make money too and that can help you build a better future if you use it wisely." The gov't can force the issue by law but that's dumb. better that everyone benefits and these projects are seen as net positives for all involved if you can reach a reasonable deal.

I do understand all of that, and I don't even disagree with what you're saying. That doesn't make the article you quote any less of a useless stream-of-consciousness rant in the opinion section of a rag newspaper. The article offers nothing but angry conjecture, supposition and retarded conclusions - chicken soup for the ignorant. Of course you posted it here. 🥱

Well obviously it's almost entirely hate based propaganda. As I have noted many times in order to dismiss people's arguments you first have to dehumanize them. That way you can say that you don't waste your time trying to refute the arguments of monsters and ignore the fact that you don't actually have any counter arguments. So this is the kind of thing we see the left teaching its people. The right is pro firearm not because it believes in freedoms or the rights for self-defense but because it hates children. Therefore we don't have to listen to their ideas about gun control. Is not in favor of screening immigrants because they feel it will weed out Bad actors and help pick good future citizens, they just hate all immigrants because they're xenophobic scumbags so we don't have to listen to them on immigration Etc etc It's an age-old tactic. If you want the people to approve of you attacking the neighbor, you have to first convince them that the neighbor is out to get them and they aren't real humans anyway. I'm afraid he's a little bit of the product of his programming here

No I don't think it crosses a lot of FNs lands. I don't know if it crosses any FN reserves. Don't forget there are small FN reserves where some of the bands live. Then there are what is called "traditional territory" which are vast areas of British Columbia that many of the first nations claim. There are many FN bands claiming this territory which covers the whole of B.C. If you examine certain historic rulings, FN do not have ownership or sovereignty over crown land. This belongs to Canada in right of His Majesty. This is part of B.C. and Canada. It is not reverting to FN. They never really "owned" or even occupied the vast areas that some of them now claim. They will continue to claim thousands of square kilometers which there is no evidence they ever lived on or occupied. But it is their bargaining chip to claim billions of dollars in compensation. But for what? The liberals and left have bought into this idea that we the settlers or colonizers owe everything to them. I don't agree. But this conflict will never end. We the colonizers have a perfect right to be here and inhabit this part of the earth without having to pay anyone endlessly.

By supporting Putin and Russia' struggle against the Nazis that took over Ukraine. I suspect the surreality of it all would even give Orwell a headache.

The "supposed coup" lol. I suppose this is you going on record to say that if Trump we're to win the election but Harris were to declare herself the winner and "certify" herself as the President Elect, you'd think that's A-Okay. Definitely not a coup. Lol

You: He probably didn't say that. Me: Of course he did You: Okay, so what if he was recycling Hitler's talking points? What's the big deal? 🫠

You just said you could tell it was blue because of the reaction with the cyanide... in the same paragraph, you deny it is a gas chamber. You can't even keep up with your own lies. Oh, brilliant. Now you expect people to have survived the gas chambers to be witnesses to their own deaths...

Which is why FOX is number one in America. "I'm not dumb...everyone else is"

EDITORIAL: Canada still ignoring foreign interference (msn.com)

That is horror movie creepy lol.

I use to subscribe to the National Post...10+ years ago. That was back when it did some semblance of journalism and wasn't just a depository of useless, ranting opinion pieces.

Unfortunately you're NOT a rational person. The search warrant was issued by a JUDGE, NOT SMITH. Duh

Canada needs a completely new immigration department and policy. The present policy is not working and is a disaster. But to do that we need a completely different type of government that respects historic Judeo-Christian beliefs and culture.
