Oh I can think and laugh at you at the same time   you make it very easy   

I take it you went back and realized your mistake and now you're butthurt? Awwwww

Next time check your facts before you open your mouth. Right now and for the foreseeable future unemployment in general and youth unemployment specifically is in trouble. And now they are strongly predicting a recession in quarter three and four or possibly even two and three

The liberals played people like you for a fool and you guys Bit into it hook line and sinker

I believe we need new immigrants. We should at least have enough so that our population is not declining. As you know we're not replacing our self through birth rate or even coming close so that is going to mean immigration.

As to where they come from the question really isn't where, the question is more about who they are. Canada was most successful when it had a fine-tuned point system. For example the chances of an immigrant being successful here goes up exponentially if they speak english or french at a conversational level.

So , we should let in people who:  

1 Speak english at at lest a conversational or university entrance level. It's critical. And if it's more than one person (like a couple or family) they all have to.  Culturally similar nations are also a bonus because there will be less effort to integrate. Having an established community here is also a plus. 

2 Have skills we need who's certifications are easy to transfer to canada (side note try to set up programs with countries to make that easier, like the deal we have with south africa and doctors) 

3 Are young and either single or married without children, it'll be easier to integrate them and children born inside canada end to become more Canadian and more successful. 

4 Have mentors or contacts already in country that will help them to integrate and learn how we do things here. Bringing your culture from france or sweden or wherever is fine but you need to know how things work here.  

5, Give points if they're moving into areas which are not already overpopulated to expand population growth in suburban or semi rural areas

6 Are RICH, and willing to start businesses here (yes we've done that successfully before) so that they add to job growth instead of taking away.  BC for example had a fast track program for people who spent 500,000 dollars and started a new business in the province back in the 90's. 

 

There's probably a few more.  But the people who match all of that get let in first until we hit our limit. 

Where they come from doesn't make a difference, how easy they are to integrate and to start making money and contributing to our society is the important factor and the research is pretty clear on what's necessary for that to happen. 

 

 

 

As i have said many times before here, i have a problem with the amount of new immigrants and refugees that are immigrating to Canada from non-white countries. Approx. 80% of our new immigrants are being brought in from non-white countries. I do not have a problem with where they come from, just the numbers. 

Where do you get your figures that Canada growth rate is declining?  I see our numbers increasing. 

How are our numbers declining when we had a population of approx. 36 million in Canada in 2019 to approx. 41 million in 2025? That is not declining. That is increasing. I think that you are being buffooned by the immigration lobby and our politicians and corporations who will no doubt be making plenty of money by bringing in more new immigrants. 

What we need is a moratorium on immigration for at least five years until we can get our housing and unemployment numbers down. We are not dropping in population, but on the contrary, we are growing in population. Hello?

I know. And you're entitled to feel that way. I disagree, i worry more about their other attributes that will help or hinder them assimilating.  In the end i think the base underlying concern is similar, we both want to see people who will fit in and prosper and not try to turn our country into whatever country they just came from or weigh us down.

Birth rate. Not growth rate.  Our birth rate is currently 1.3 children per female in Canada. In order to have a stable populaton that's not shrinking or growing that number would have to be about 2.3.  We have almost half as many kids as we need to break even. 

So our 'natural' growth rate is down, perhaps i said that. 

So we rely on immigration.

Birth rate is declining.  our "natural" growth rate is declining.  Our realized or actual growth rate is increasing but only because of immigration.

No, that would plunge us into the worst recession in Canadian history. That is every bit as useless as the liberal plan to bring in a million people a year.

Radical knee-jerk stupid poorly thought plans, such as the liberals one or stopping immigration entirely, lead to bad results. What we need is modest stable growth that is at or slightly below our ability to provide new accommodations in homes and Healthcare Etc equal to our overall growth.

That's from 2023, reporting on 2022. Welcome to 2025 kiddo. 

Move over housing: Canada’s young are facing a new crisis

Youth unemployment is upwards of 15 percent and getting worse.  And our overall unemployment is going up. Our labour force participation is going down which is very bad news and means people are giving up on even looking for work. 

The rest of your statements are also wrong.  But when you start off being wrong to begin with people tend to stop reading. 

Read  a book for god's sake. 

Keep bringing in millions of new immigrants and refugees. That should help solve the housing and unemployment crisis. NOT! 🤔

It won't obviously but what it DOES do is artificially boost the basic GDP number. 

Remember that a recession is commonly defined as two quarters of negative GDP growth. So as long as gdp growth doesn't actualy SHRINK, the libs don't have to admit they're in a recession. 

Unfortunately it also raises inflation as you note, makes it hard to find a home, stresses the health care system and reduces the gdp PER CAPITA which means we have a much lower tax base to draw on and that means we can't provide the same quality of life,.

but the liberal voters don't care and will insist things are going great, and if they aren't it's trump's fault

Toronto, November 29, 2023 – Small businesses in Canada missed over $38 billion in revenue opportunities last year because they had to turn down or postpone contracts or sales due to labour shortages, finds a new report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

Paranoid racism.

That's right. we need to build efficient train and bus routes.

Yeah the Arctic ice isn't melting and we don't have more floods, wildfires and heat then ever. Those are just liberal fabrications, right?

Only to scared white folks like you.

1. Why is there so many people on unemployment if we have been bringing in millions of new immigrants and refugees into Canada in the past to fill the supposedly new people needed to solve the labor shortage problems mentioned here in Canada? 

2. There is a genocide going on against white people, not only in Canada, but around the white world. You are just to stoopid to notice it happening. It is your leftist lieberal white hating arse holes that are behind it all. 

3. No. We need to stop all of this massive immigration that is going on here in Canada. The more immigrants this country keeps bringing in the more traffic gridlock will occur. Canada never had such traffic gridlock until the lieberals started to bring in millions upon millions of new immigrants and refugees in the past several decades into Canada. Lieberals like you create new problems all the time with everything you touch with your leftist hands. Lieberalism is a disease. 😛

4. You are too emotional. No one really knows for sure as to why the Arctic is losing some ice. Floods, wildfires and heat have been happening somewhere on earth every day since the world began. Most of all of this climate crisis nonsense is all due to the lies and bullshit coming out of the mouths of lieberals like yourself.

A.There is plenty of money to be made by trying to convince brainless twits like you into believing that we are in a climate crisis. The very rich billionaires and our politicians do not believe that crap. Only twits like you do. 

B.I ask many members here as to where they see a climate crisis situation going on when they look outside their windows? They never say a thing about it. I look out of my window every day and i do not see any climate crisis going on. 

C. The earth has suffered under thousands of volcanos, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, floods, fires and so much more for hundreds of millions of years, and yet, the earth and we humans have survived it all. 

5. Not only white people live in Canada. White folk should be concerned about the takeover of their own white homeland. Every day i see Canada starting to resemble some kind of a third world country. Massive Immigration is the problem, stupid. 🤮

I do believe that we are in a recession. The lieberals are good at juggling numbers to make things look all good and great. We are going broke because the lieberals are borrowing more money from the banksters and giving it all away to their friends and some of it comes right back into their lieberal pockets. This is why we are in a recession and have high inflation and the Canadian dollar being so low. We are on our way to bankruptcy and the majority of Canadians do not really care, otherwise, why did so many stoopid Canadians vote the leiberals back in power.

Canada will never see it's full potential as long as we have those dummies out there that keep cutting their own throats by putting the lieberals back in power. All they want to do is blame Trump for everything. And i hope that Trump does what is needed to make sure that those dummies pay for what they did by voting for the lieberals. As i have said many times already, Canada is finished. It is time to realize that we cannot save Canada anymore. Let it die peacefully. 😇

There's a fair number of economists that would agree with you. The common definition of recession is not the actual definition of recession it's just one that's commonly used. Anything's a recession if it is a. Of economic slowdown and retraction rather than growth. Our GDP per capita has been in the negative numbers for over a year now. The job numbers aren't great either and they mask even further problems when you dig into them. Business investment is completely in the crapper

We are certainly in What most would consider a recession and by the end of the year we will probably be in a textbook recession
