I wrote about this phenomenon in India many years ago. It's now here in Canada thanks to immigration. wsj.com/articles/BL-IRTB-176… wsj.com/articles/SB100014241…

I’m a 46 year old woman from Brampton , its so odd seeing groups of Indian men who are 30+ years old walking around bramalea city centre or the movie theatres or hang out I parking lots like I did as a TEENAGER in the 90s! It’s not intimidating just strange behaviour

I work in the immigration sector. Owning a franchise was/is a license to print money. Charge 10k to 40k for LMIA or a good job title for a PGWP. Use all that money to buy another franchise. Layoff local staff. Hire tfw. Rinse and repeat. Also, they exploit all the tfw
High rates of foreign hiring at select @TimHortons are not typical of all franchisees nationwide, say corporate managers. Eastern Ontario chain of 6 restaurants wrote in #bankruptcy court filing that migrant workers accounted for up to 83% of staff. blacklocks.ca/83-foreign-lab… @ESDC_GC

Canada nuked itself from 2015-2025 to get cheaper Uber Eats deliveries We destroyed our social fabric, healthcare system, welfare system, & reputation by importing millions & millions of unskilled immigrants We traded ALL OF THAT for 2-for-1 burritos

Caledon, Ontario; Punjabi Sikhs have an unsanctioned tractor tug of war while at a Punjabi cultural event held at the Brampton Fairgrounds. Pulling until the chains snaps with spectators close by is a recipe for disaster. Tearing up the parking lot like this is disrespectful to the community fairgrounds.

I know a brilliant 34 year old Brazilian paediatric oncologist with degrees from top European universities, who speaks English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian. Literally the ideal immigrant. He was doing a research fellowship in Toronto. But even with my help (a former Immigration Minister,) he couldn’t get permanent residency last year, so left for a top hospital in Texas. Consider the opportunity cost for Canadian kids with cancer, or his potential fiscal and research contributions. Gone forever.😡 Meanwhile, folks who came here on dodgy study permits and as low skilled TFWs who barely speak basic English get PR to deal with the huge overhang of temporary residents and overstayers from the Trudeau years. It is impossible to overstate the catastrophic damage done to our immigration system by the Trudeau government. So could someone explain to me why people like @SeanFraserMP, who presided over one of the greatest policy failures in modern Canadian history, are still in Cabinet?
Randomly checking the latest Express Entry draws and it's wild. Canada’s immigration system is so catastrophically cooked that I genuinely don’t know how anyone expects it to be fixed anytime soon. We’re watching highly qualified researchers and engineers leave because Canada can’t give them a realistic path to stay, while the system creates bizarre incentives around other immigration categories (refugees and french people, yea) Half the top researchers I knew at McGill left because there was no viable permanent pathway. The other half moved to the US. We literally educate world-class talent, fail to retain them, and then act surprised when they leave. good luck. truly lol.

If we don't want to welcome the world's hatreds then all political parties should stop importing them into nomination contests. Too often candidates are selected because they can mobilize ethnic, religious or diaspora constituencies rather than because they bring exceptional judgment, expertise or insight into public policy. Public office should be about advancing Canada's interests & solving Canada's problem; not relitigating the politics & grievances of other countries. A parliamentary nomination should not be a reward for activism in foreign causes. It should be a test of who is best equipped to govern Canada.

Its time we stop these people from coming into our countries, using our institutions from funnelling cash in to their radical agenda. Canada should be a nation of integration, not bring people who want to cause further harm to the world. Multiculturalism from third-world countries never worked and it never will.

🚨 JUST IN: Islamists and leftists are FURIOUS after Tommy Robinson gave the perfect answer Q: What would happen if you become a prime minister tomorrow? ROBINSON: "I would STOP Islam, I'd END foreign funding in this country. All the migrants would be taken out the hotels and sent back tomorrow by the military!" Holy based! "I would have re-migration. It's time for many Muslims to leave this country. You've got your homes to go to. This is our home. We've got nowhere to go to!" "We're not allowing it to change any longer. You've seen today, people have fed up then. People are FED UP!" 🔥 This is the way, western man! h/t Veronika Rogoyska @TRobinsonNewEra

The average Indian hates women, members of the lower caste and taking showers - I'm so tired of this absurd expectation thrust upon Canadians to never voice your frustration with Indians overrunning our country. Standards are slipping. High trust society is eroding. The culture is changing for the worse. Even the most Progressive Leftist communist btw will even confess how rude and inconsiderate Indians are. This idea that it's just conservatives frustrated with Indians is hilarious.
Hopefully, @DanAlbas and @PierrePoilievre, who reposted this, are reading the replies. Increasingly, parts of the Canadian conservative movement are sounding like the woke left: justifying bigotry and hate. The left did it through DEI. Some on the right now do it through anger over mass migration, especially from South Asia. Many openly rationalize ugly behaviour because they believe bad immigration policy excuses it. What’s extraordinary is how little leadership there’s been from both Conservatives and Liberals on anti-Indian hate over the past 2–3 years. This may be the first time a Conservative MP has addressed it this clearly, and that is welcome. A serious conservative movement should be able to oppose open border policies without turning entire ethnic groups as the enemy. Otherwise, conservatism just becomes another form of identity politics.

Better late than never. Conestoga was by far the worst abuser of the Trudeau era student visa scam. Industrial scale corruption. People should go to jail over this.
BREAKING: The Ford government is taking over Conestoga College over “evidence of serious financial and governance mismanagement.” Linda Franklin has been named the college’s new administrator and the board of governors has been dismissed.

This is not hyperbole - @spencerpratt is the blueprint for how my generation of older millennials needs to communicate and present their ideas and campaign messaging when running for office. He is 10/10 no notes. Absolute raw talent. Killed the debate.
