Canada: Why the country wants to bring in 1.5m immigrants by 2025
BBC ^ | 21 Nov 2022 | Robin Levinson-King

Canada is betting big on immigration to fill the gap in its economy left by aging Baby Boomers leaving the workforce - but not everyone is on board with bringing in so many people from abroad.

Earlier this month, the federal government announced an aggressive plan to take in 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025, with almost 1.5 million new immigrants coming to the country over the next three years....

Very shortsighted and naïve and very selfish idea. It has never, ever been proven that such a crisis exists to begin with and that more and more immigration will solve it, particularly when we seem to have a problem with housing our own to begin with and not to mention that our farmland and green spaces are threatened by encroaching urban sprawl to accommodate all of these people.

There used to be green spaces where I grew up, and horse farms in Eastern New Orleans. And as they had a growing population in the inner city, my parents were pestered on a constant basis through real estate advertisement offers in the mail and black, real estate agents knocking on the door asking them if they would like to sell their home. The later this is called, “white flight”.

I don’t see that here, yet, but there are more and more and more rentals going up for African, Indian, Muslim, Hispanics, and inner city people pouring in from New Orleans, and they forced the horse stables out.

Is there a list of skilled and educated positions needed? No one told you these were unskilled uneducated immigrants who will be on the gov dole and a voting block to keep the power where it is.

I wonder how Canadian abortions are skewing the population non-growth?

If we restore our republic, looks like we’ll need a northern border wall, too.

Canada has just over 10% the US population. So that is up to the equivalent of 15 million per year here.

Don’t go thinking that’s not in the globalists’ plans — on top of the 60 million we’ve already got.

"The later this is called, “white flight”."

Soon, the US. will look very much the cities of South America.. Walls, iron bars and concertina wire on every home.

The good folks all live their lives behind those walls, and the gangs own the streets..

Skilled labor shortage is a myth. Canada can train its citizens if it wanted if such a shortage did exist, it doesn’t. Demographic replacement and lowering wages is what is important.

Canada is twice the size of the US and has the population of Kalifornia. I can see where they might want to increase their population. My guess is that there are many English speaking (and French speaking) people living in civilized (or semi civilized...Hong Kong,for example) countries who would like to come to Canada.

But I'll bet that there are many savages...or near savages...who would like to come there as well.

Perhaps we can help them out by establishing a narrow corridor (perhaps a few hundred yards wide) from the Mexican border to the Canadian border through which anyone who wanted to do so could pass from one border to the other.

Of course we would guard that border with men armed to the teeth to make sure that those travelers don't cause trouble on US soil.

Don’t do it like Europe has done it: bringing in Muslims who feel entitled to be supported by the infidels. If you must bring people in, bring in Latinos. They at least work (unless of course they’re in gangs.)

I bet a lot of smug Canadian Trudeau voters will not enjoy what happens regarding culture, crime, and overall change for the worse in their society, after 1.5M are imported in short order.

Whether they admit it or not, they won’t like what happens to their country.

They be isolated in their resort and gated communities. As long as they have nice places to vacation within their own country they could largely care less what happens in the other 90% of it. Of course the the great caveat to that media “wokeness” must bombard every square inch of their countries’ soil.

Texas Gov to Canada, "Not a problem, how many busses can you take each week"?

I thought that ‘computerizing’ everything would reduce the need for actual labor———

The same people who are saying the west needs to import millions of immigrants to offset low birthrates ALSO says the west needs to have low birthrates to fight climate change.

ARE YOU AWAKE YET????
