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.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3bdm/canada-will-legalize-medically-assisted-dying-for-people-addicted-to-drugs I was wondering how they were going to make themselves look good in the wake of all those OD deaths - this is brilliant. Just claim it was 'MAID', not bad drugs or bad decisions, and that it's all part of the plan!!! Genious - 2000 people didn't overdose this week, no no 2000 people "chose to end their lives with dignity". I believe in MAID, i believe people should have a choice but when you've got someone who's already clearly demonstrated they're not the best at making good life choices, AND they're currently polluting their minds with substances that specifically impair their ability to make clear informed decisions well, i'm not sure those are the people who should have easy access to MAID. I think "sound mind" should have some sort of role in it.

Sure- calling people chuds and retarded is pretty much guaranteed to make them see things your way. it's all part of the civil discourse

Man - i haven't seen that much dodging since they tried to draft the hippies in the 70's. Do you not realize how bad and dishonest that makes you look? You constantly claim you want civil discourse - then you play the 'I can't remember what i said" game followed by the obfuscation game etc etc. It was an honest and reasonable question - why can't you just answer it mr "honest discourse"?

You commented that Don Jr was uncivil, so I'd love to know if you can name a Demonrat who displays a level of civility that meets your standards. Maybe a Rhode Island senator?

Sure he does. You a$$holes won't point out the inconsistencies, so that leaves it up to us. robohypo projects with the best of them.

Yes actual historian reviewed the extensive records and adjusted the number accordingly what's your point. Nah, dummy I don't really see the point to debate a 14 year old edgelord recycling long debunked holocaust denier talking points.

How did we end up debating the holocaust? I think Five of swords could turn a thread about The Teletubbies into something about Jews.

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? 🙄

did you mean to say, "Biased"

Listen up, stupid. When you turn on your TV to get your daily dose of lies, and a news anchor or pundit says the word "inflation", they're talking about year-over-year inflation. Alwways. Every. Single. Time. Pull up a news story from 1974 or 1996 or 2003 or 2021... If they said "inflation" they meant year-over-year inflation. And that's on every channel in North America: CNN, Fox, CTV, CBC, NBC, NPR, CBS, Global, MSNBC... It's like the cost of gas. If anyone, anywhere in the US says "I got gas for two-o-eight today", everyone knows that means "USD $2.08/US gal". If anyone in Canada says "Gas was one-eighty at the 12th St Chevron today", everyone knows that means "CDN $1.80/litre". If you're in the US and you say "Gas is 0.58 at the Chevron right now" and everyone peels off towards the gas station, they're gonna come back and kill you when they find out that you meant $0.58/litre.

Again . . . do you let every person that knocks on your door, into your house? Curb immigration. Period.

You look like a woman on a Harlequin Romance novel? Have you had reassignment surgery?

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

@Michael Hardner So where is your example of a demonrat who has "shown a level of civility"? Michelle Obama? Kamala Harris? Chuck Shumer? C'mon Mikey, you can't just run your mouth and then run away...

Wow, didn’t take long for the Nazi references, is that all the left has? Anyway, I’m on record as suspecting that Kamala will be discarded at the DNC. By then it will be clear that she can’t beat Trump. Let’s review: The debate fiasco made it clear to anyone who hadn’t realized it yet that Biden is fading fast health wise. Then an attempt is made on Trump’s life, which has served to shock Americans and energize the right in the US. Then a week later, Biden ends his re-election bid. These events happened in quick succession, and it’s only July. Any single one of these could be enough to hand the win to Trump next November, but all 3? It’s going to be a landslide.

If I had a dollar for every time you insert 'FOS LIES' in your responses...

Ummm ", one of the remaining true newspapers in Canada"??? LOL "didn’t know who had left the newspaper at his Kitchener home. That bothered him. It was called “Druthers” and it was full of anti-vaccine views and conspiracy theories, with some commentary that was anti-Asian, anti-Muslim and antisemitic. One of the articles said the 9/11 attack “no doubt involves shadowy elements recruited from among militant Zionists and Saudi fundamentalists.”" https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/when-hateful-words-arrive-at-the-door/article_468c1c90-2979-5a55-ab32-978c8ef1114d.html

1 , 2 and 4 are the same thing. If the population is increasing faster than infrastructure, infrastructure gets strained. so yes 3. No. That's silly. 5 - not really, they'd interfere no matter how many immigrants we brought in. 6 - not exactly But sort of 7- no. 8 - sort of. 9 - is just 8 repeated differently. 1, 2 and 4 are the biggies. That drives inflation, it creates massive tension and leads to some of the other problems mentioned.

You are one sad puppy and a poster child for a reason it could happen again.

This was the plan for a long time. It crosses a lot of first nations land, if someone built a pipeline across my land i'd want to have a stake in it too This isn't one of those bad things, this is the correct way to get things done with first nations and development. And you know i'm the first to complain about 'freebie givaways' to first nations.

Not possible. Nobody anywhere likes her enough to show up at a demonstration or be disappointed she lost.

You just saved him from having to take off his socks and shoes

Here's some peaceful democrat protests '

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? 🫠

Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out.

MAGA Crowd Melts Down After Mike Pence Says Something Reasonable Former Vice President Mike Pencemanaged to put Donald Trump’s most rabid followers in a tizzy on Monday after he made a social media post that was, well, reasonable. In his post, Pence thanked President Joe Biden for making “the right decision” and “putting the interests of our Nation ahead of his own” by ending his presidential campaign. He also said Biden’s departure from the campaign and the assassination attempt on Trump suggests that it’s time for “leaders in both parties to project calm and send a message of strength and resolve to America’s friends and enemies.” For those who didn’t really follow poltics before 2016, Pence’s post harkens back to the type of reasonable “we’re all Americans” statement that politicians would make when their rivals made their exit from public life. But this sort of statement declined after Trump was elected president and proceeded to ignore this and other accepted political norms (such as conceding an election after you lose or attending the inauguration of the person who beat you). As might be expected, Pence’s reasonable statement caused some of Trump’s MAGA fans to have F-bomb-filled meltdowns over his graciously thanking Biden for his service to the country.

As far as I'm concerned, ALL those "refugees" should be deported.

Wow! First time I've read an admitted Holocaust DENIER post. I thought that was a Unicorn. 🤮

Get back to me if Harris tries to stage a coup or starts quoting Hitler about immigrant vermin poisoning the blood of our country. Then you can see if there's a double standard.🙄

You want fries with that?

Or admit that it was people of that mindset that were so against the very thought of a woman as President they elected an actual miserable c*nt instead. So happy to live in a normal democracy where any single one of the immoral or illegal acts Trump did or was even accused (let alone convicted) of would cause their own Party to yank the rug from under them in three seconds flat. This whole electoral shit show in the USA has left the rest of the world disgusted.

WTF you got against indigenous people? All the while unwittingly being racist by always claiming reverse racism. They're offering it to them, not denying you squat. Are you the CEO of some huge corporation that wants to buy 100%? No, you're just some guy like the rest of us. So what's it to you? You got the dough to personally buy 100% of the shares? You might have grounds to gripe then.

oh his worst day, biden thought he WAS trump.

"Just running scared, each place we go, so afraid that Trump might show . . . . Roy Orbison and the whining herbies.

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

" — an estimated 8,000 to 15,000 Canadians are dying each year as a result of hospital overcrowding. “It is remarkable that this excess death rate is rarely discussed in Canada,” emergency physicians James Worrall and Paul Atkinson wrote. “Physicians, politicians and the media often describe hospital crowding and prolonged wait times for ED patients as an inconvenience, but not a killer.” Yes, how tragic that thousands are dying unnecessarily in hospitals across Canada and those people most responsible won't acknowledge it or care. 'I don't think I'll last': How Canada's emergency room crisis could be killing thousands (msn.com)

It wasn’t illegal or political violence. Stealing the documents was illegal and the “raid” was a polite and professional search arranged with Trump security in advance with FBI agents discretely wearing civilian clothes so as not disturb the other guests.
