I am Groot Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Immigration continues at breakneck speed under the Liberals, and the number of temporary foreign workers also continues to increase, even as we see huge lineups for jobs across the country. It seems nothing, including plummeting popularity, will convince the Trudeau Liberals to back off on their determination to bring in vast numbers of foreign (mainly Indian) people to settle in Canada. Statistics Canada’s population clock tracks the “real-time changes to the size of the Canadian population and the provinces and territories.” The tracker measures the changes by taking into account the rate of births, deaths, immigrants, emigrants, non-permanent residents, and inter-provincial migrants. As of March 18, the country’s population is at 40,961,644, with a population change of 1,110 since midnight. Based on the rate of these changes, Canada should reach the 41 million count sometime in April. https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/wtf-is-trudeau-doing-viral-videos-show-huge-lineups-of-people-desperate-to-work https://dailyhive.com/canada/canada-population-2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White people will soon become a small minority in Canada in the next decade or so. Even the Marxist dictator in Ottawa has once said that he despised people from the old traditional sources of Canada's immigration policy of long ago that came from Britain and Europe. Trudeau wants to bring in over a 500 thousand more new immigrants every year from third world countries. Not to forget to mention bringing in more temporary workers plus students from wherever. Now why would a supposedly white person would like to do such a thing? Why? Is it because they say that Castro Trudeau is probably the son of the communist dictator himself Castro? Hey, we never know, eh? There should be no way a white person would want to try and destroy his own white race like this buffoon is trying to do in Canada these days. Our roads are getting very busy, our infrastructure and environment is under attack, there are not enough homes or jobs available for all of these new unwanted and unneeded millions of new immigrants coming here, and nobody seems to care. This immigration policy of today is and will be a bloody disaster for Canada if it is not stopped. We need to implement a moratorium on immigration for at least five years before Canada becomes just another third world hell hole. Just my opinion. 😏 Edited March 18 by taxme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnFox Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 It's a complete disaster. The number isn't important, it's the rate of increase. It's devastating our economy, our medical system, our educational and training systems, it's creating a false economy for our schools which will mean huge increase for kids when the cards collapse, and there's not enough resources to help integrate them. They then feel disconnected, bond with other similar people to complain that they can't figure canada out and it's not like the old country and the kids get mad and feel segregated and isolated and that always ends badly. Our population is growing far far far too quickly for us to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironstone Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Most Canadian PRs who landed in 2022 were citizens of India, China and Afghanistan The top source countries among 2022’s group of new Canadian permanent residents has shifted slightly from last year, with Brazil and South Korea dropping out of the top 10 in favour of Afghanistan and Syria. India continues to be the leading source of immigration for Canada in 2022, with China in second place again, similar to a year ago. However, in a deviation from 2021, the percentage of immigrants from these two countries – 32% and 8%, respectively, last year – has decreased. In 2022, the following 10 countries were Canada’s top immigration sources according to each immigrant’s country of citizenship. Each country will be listed alongside the number of immigrants that came from that country and the percent of Canada’s total PR number accounted for by that country. India (118, 095 immigrants) – 27% China (31,815 immigrants) - 7.2% Afghanistan (23,735 immigrants) – 5.4% Nigeria (22,085 immigrants) – 5.05% Philippines (22,070 immigrants) – 5.04% France (14,145 immigrants) – 3.2% Pakistan (11,585 immigrants) – 2.6% Iran (11,105 immigrants) – 2.5% United States of America (10,400 immigrants) – 2.3% Syria (8,500 immigrants) – 1.9% It's not just Canada that's embracing the great replacement theory either. https://www.cicnews.com/2023/02/ircc-unveils-the-top-10-source-countries-of-new-immigrants-to-canada-in-2022-0233180.html#gs.6mhdti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about taking advantage of US tech nearshoring ? India has millions of developers and there's work to be done.

Canada does lots of business in this area. Not for the specific subject you're talking about. At the end of the day what we need to do is learn to leverage our strengths and let others leverage theirs. For example the idea that was should 'bring t-shirt manufaturing back home' is probably silly, considering that other places will AWAYS be able to undercut us on that kind of manufacturing. But we can do very well with things like arcteryx jackets that require a little more design and knowledge of the climate here etc. We can use 'cheap coders' in india to help create products and innovation here at a very competitive rate. We should let them keep the entry jobs and develop the better paying knowledge and skill based jobs that we can excel at here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact harper oversaw massive changes to immigration to make it better and more efficient. We got our 'points' system from him, after the changes in 2006 the financial success rate of immigrants shot up like crazy to make them much more of a net contributor to Canada and immigration was kept to a level we could work with Harper's temp foriegn worker program started to be abused and he stomped down on that. But typical lying leftie liberal... of course it's "harper's fault" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that it would. What would happen is business would find ways to be much more efficient. The case for investing the money would be there. So our skilled people would get more done with the same amount of time - that can include automating, sourcing out more simple tasks abroad, streamlining processes, and also putting money into education to get more skilled people and fewer unskilled in the workplace. Our goal should be to make our businesses vastly more competitive, where overall our workers do more with less effort. Right now we're unfortunately seeing the opposite effect.

LOL - ahhh so it's only MOSTLY harper's fault Sorry - it's 100 percent justins' fault. Immigration was well under control during harper's time. As i said he introduced a number of improvements that were serious game changers - tho if i'm being fair the first round of those were in the planning stages under Martin. Still -he put them through and would go on to make more changes for the better. The mess we have now was created by Justin 100 percent. You could blame the ndp at the moment as well i suppose but its' being driven by justin. 3 minutes ago, eyeball said: LMAO!

I am Groot Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, eyeball said: Don't forget They, including Stephan Harper, fired the first shots some 15 years ago. No. This started with Brian Mulroney, who tripled immigration because his immigration minister convinced him and cabinet that the new immigrants would become loyal party supporters once they could vote. Chretien took that lesson to heart. Both the Mulroney and Chretien government spouted reams of unsupported statements about how wonderful immigration was for Canada and the media bought it. To the extent it became impossible to even suggest that immigration be cut back. After all, since immigration as an unparalleled good, anyone suggesting it be lowered could only be doing so out of racism and xenophobia. So Harper never tried to, despite the wishes of Conservative voters. He was too afraid of being accused of racism and xenophia. And then came Trudeau, who doubled down on it all to the extent we won't recognize this country if we don't quickly get immigration back to levels where we can integrate newcomers.

There are literally teams of economists advising every government on this file. You are presuming that the minister was incorrect. If she was, in fact, correct, then successive administrations have simply been following in the path Mulroney forged by using immigration as a recruitment tool, as well as to curry favour among ethnic groups here. I might point out that the economists of the day, when consulted by Mulroney, would not agree that his big immigration increases would have any positive impact on the economy, aside from expanding the numbers in it. They did say, though, that effects, positive or negative, depend on the mix of immigrants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be *somewhat correct but... it didn't really work out for the conservatives historically. 2. It depends on which economists they were consulting.
