Canadian citizen here. My daughter has a 97% avg in high school. Over 600 volunteer hours. She handed out over 200 resumes looking for summer work. No chance. Not even an interview. In my town, a grocery store had over 3000 people line up for a job fair. Most of them were of east Indian decent. We simply do not have the capacity to integrate this rate of immigration. We can only build 200k residences a year (country wide). Currently we're allowing in 1.2M migrants. This is because the ruling Liberals are trying to paper over a recession. Canada is in a "per-capita" recession but due to all the new Canadians, it doesn't reflect in our gross GDP. I'm pro immigration, but not if it's been mismanaged like this.
The majority of issues often come from poor long term planning. Immigration can be vital when industrial and infrastructure planning and building go together. Massive issue is the type of immigrants entering. As in what skills does Canada need? What industry does it plan to build etc
@@teamjam2863 Agree completely. This immigration issue is a product of decades of mismanagement. Fundamentally, we’ve seen the demographic cliff coming for years. Boomers are retiring, in economic terms, they’re becoming “useless eaters” rather than consumers. I hate that term “useless eaters”, very dehumanizing. But it does explain the need for young, eager immigrants to help backfill the lack of productivity and to keep a lid on wages. The problem is, this ramp up in immigration rate has had devastating consequences to the younger demographic. It’s had a negative cultural impact, Google Brampton, it’s essentially an East Indian colony. It pains me to write this as I profess I’m pro immigration. We NEED to grow due to declining birthrates. But not at this rate, and not under these conditions.
It's because of the wage subsidies, grants and tax rebates the government hands these employers for newcomers. If they can hire 20 newcomers for the price of 10 Canadians, what do you think happens? We as tax payers are paying for them to take our jobs and more people need to be aware of this. They keep coming because it's super easy for them to get work here with this going on.
@@gnanasabaapatirg7376 It’s not meant to offend, “Indian” has been misused to describe indigenous people in the past. East Indian, is a way to clarify any misunderstanding.
I know a college in Ontario that imported more than 30,000 Indian "students" last year. We are talking about one college in one year. It is totally out of control.
This has been a big part of the issue - importantly, though, Trudeau had very little to do with it. Up until this year, the federal government has always allowed the provincial government to set the number of international students they take in. Under Doug Ford, the number Ontario took in has like tripled.
so colleges made millions of dollars. charging double fee to International student. good business and non of the Canadians are talking about it. some body made money out of this immigrants
I'm in British Columbia and it is hell. No rentals and the jobs have been given to foreign workers. Where do we Canadians go? I will be homeless soon and this is why.
The sad thing is that it's not much better without immigration. Even high tech jobs are in a crash right now and being outsourced to Taiwan, India, etc. thanks to COVID-inflation/bubble.
When people say immigration grew the economy, I cringe. Of course increasing the population grows an economy! But what it doesn’t necessarily do is increase productivity, gdp per capita or overall well being. That’s what Trust Fund Trudeau missed
Is the oligopolistic economy not to be blamed? There is no free market (in theory yes, but not in practice) in Canada …. It almost feels communistic… how can there be productivity in a system like this?
@@kbhashow can you be so politically illiterate to conflate oligopoly and communism? They are polar opposites. I will assume you're talking about Stalinism when you say communism, and not Marxism. (I think communism is stupid for the record)
Mass Immigration is only occurring and being defended in one type of country, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, France, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Canada, US, its not an accident
Pretty simple. Pro-business lobbyists asked for the government to provide cheap labour to break Canadian labour's bargaining power, and they did exactly that.
2 reasons, literally this U turn of public opinion happened in the span of like 1 year, governments are always slow to react. So it shouldnt be a surprise it took till now. There were whistle blowers, but until the interest rate spiked, which only happened last year, people largely didnt mind. Second, no party is really saying 'no more' immigration just not 1 million a year levels. They all know we have a demographics problem. Peter zeihan explains it on his channel well. Our government has opted to use immigration to try and fix this problem. Im not here to argue if its the way we should go, just saying that does seem to be the lane we picked and we have been very successful at it until now. Housing is strained by immigration but immigration isnt the cause of the housing issues. Canada has been more expensive than any other g7 country for literally 2 decades, back in even harpers time. We have had very little publicly funded housing and an abysmal slow rate of new housing built. And excessive red tape from provincial and city zoning laws amplifying that. Largely catering to suburban sprawl as opposed to medium and high density housing. This along with lower public funded housing, are the noticeable differences almost all anglo-western countries have. Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the US all have very expensive housing when compared to all other similarly leveled per-capita GDP countries.
@Ace-cc1em immigration has caused our birth to drop. Maybe the government should prioritize Canadians instead of trying to replace us with cheap, third-world labour.
Nothing's gonna save him. Hes ignored everyone for too long, and those who hate him, really hate him. If he'd started 2 years ago maybe, but hes basically done nothing for at least half his term and now hes guiding us straight to into the cons waiting arms :/
I don't think there's anything he could have done to remain in power. Which doesn't mean that I agree with what he did do, but even if he had the perfect policies this term we'd still be looking at a new Conservative government at the next election
He was largely saved by COVID too- polls showed Trudeau on a downward trend by the October 2019 election, and Trudeau’s approvals shot up massively from COVID (they previously were negative leading up to the 2019 election.) Scheer was widely viewed as a weak candidate, and Trudeau actually lost the popular vote in 2019 and 2021.
If he reforms the immigration system in a way that is deemed satisfactory by the public, that could take a lot of wind out of Polivière's sails. Immigration reform has been the main promise that has given the cons the momentum they currently have.
@@sword_of_damocle5 the polls were showing the Conservatives would almost certainly win a majority even before immigration was being widely talked about
Trudeau's government completely flooded the labour market with new immigrants, permanent residents, and "international students" resulting in a net gain of unemployment and a lowering of GDP per capita. These "students" in particular are working near full time and are using this pathway to back door our normal immigration system. This has put a lot of stress on young workers entering the work force (think 100's of applicants for any open entry level position from tech to labour jobs to fast food worker). An entire generation is fed up with this policy along with the usual base of conservative voters who already dislike him. Too little too late this next election is already over.
GDP per capita is bound to go down when you have a big influx of immigrants since they will typically not be paid as much as they should be until they get some more local experience
@danielindrigo7992 at which point their parasitic big corp employer will dump them for a cheap new immigrant. Which is why the corps lobby so hard to keep the immigration going always up. We've all heard the perma-looped lie "labor shortage" coming out of those many parliamentary committee meetings used to give political cover to the MPs as they sell us out.
The "temporary" foreign workers aren't always so temporary and the students 800,000 of them, have a path to citizenship upon graduating and don't forget the asylum claimants (80,000).
@@FeverDev64 that's how many were pending, including ones from before that time period that were yet to be processed. The amount additional in the time period is more like 80,000
But at the same time you said it yourself, they are temporary foreign WORKERS. We thought temporary was enough, but it turns out, we NEED them long term. And for the students, most of them pay a crap ton of money to come here (education +living). It's a big import of foreign money. And at they end of the day, if they are good enought (university) we offer them a spot. Generally a young person, all career in front of them. I am a very cartesian/number person, but this one is hardly black and white when it comes to the long-term strategy of our country.
@@jeremybrouillard Temporary foreign workers are used by various employers as cheap labor (not just in the jobs Canadians won't do) while young Canadian graduates sit at home. How many students found jobs this summer? Next to none. How many people have arrived in Canada and never applied for assylum and never left? No one knows. How many failed assylum seekers never left? Schools enrol all children, hospitals must provide services to all. Our tax dollars at work.. no proof of citizenship required to vote. How convenient.
@@jeremybrouillard International students shouldn't be allowed to work, the whole concept is that they're supposed to be sufficient through funds from back home. If international students aren't adhering to this policy, then the number of international students should be 0
I'm not surprised. I'm an immigrant from Nigeria who came to Canada, specifically Newfoundland, during Stephen Harper's tenure as Prime Minister. Policies were hard but fair and balanced. Canadians welcomed me and others and the climate was more strict but still favorable cause we were expected to assimilate and we did, while also not upsetting native-born Canadians. It was more strict for me to get in as an international student (I studied Nursing and Office administration) and i also had to pay my own bills and tuition and study within limits before i could even get a work permit but it was worth it. Trudeau's policies of mass immigration, especially during Syrian crisis, were just a disaster. Now, it has ruined the economy and provinces for Canadian citizens and their families who are struggling and it's ruined the reputation of genuinely good immigrants who actually had to work hard to get here. I don't blame the Canadian citizens at all. I blame Trudeau.
You are the type of immigrant this country needs more of. I recently have encountered two doctors from Nigeria working in Alberta, along with my local Pharmacist, from Zambia who worked their butts off, no free ride. Canada needs more immigrants of this calibre.

@@steveo_80 how much worse can you make it? oh lemme guess, the cons will just immediately strip everyone of their rights? that won't even be the first time the government has done that this decade. Even so, i'd rather they make life worse for everyone who voted for trudeau just to spite the lot of you.
I work in talent management for a multibillion dollar company in Canada. Every job I post is almost immediately flooded by immigrant workers or people in India looking for a work visa sponsor. As in, I may get 3-4 applicants with Canadian citizenship, another 3-4 permanent residents, and 60+ TFWs and people looking for a visa. Its wild out there.
i will also point out that another factor of it is that a lot of young workers and teenagers simply can't find work now as our youth unemployment has skyrocket to i think around 14-15% at some point this year alone. pretty much most of the places that you would usually go to get a beginner level job were turning to foreign work instead leaving a lot of young Canadian in a position where they are unable to get work experience.
Also owned by foreign workers. Mcdonalds, timmies, DQ all owned by people from India and they only employ the same in my town. How funny that they don't want us descriminating and then do the exact same.
Nah, by some humba-joomba he might still win or someone with connections to him or his party. And Canadians will do muffin about it. Even if he does lose, he will still have significant influence on politics and policies.
He hasn't U-Turned though. He's just stopped the increases in immigration, that doesn't mean much when the level it's already reached is still double what it was a decade ago.
Exactly. He let more people into the country in 1 year than what he should have in his 4 year term. To Trudeau immigration isn’t about helping the economy, it’s about charity, and it’s all at the expense of the average Canadian.
Like it or not. There's s good reason why governments allow immigration even if its not popular. Mostly because the ratio of retired:working age people is too high. Meaning that governments cant bring in enough taxes to pay for the social cost of the retired.
As a natural born canadian, born and raised in canada and currently a university student, I hope I can provide more context for those who might not understand young voters voting rightward. I am not a natural "conservative", however there is a sense of hopelessness among many of us. How are we supposed to be able to provide for older people who rely on our taxes while we can't afford a home, and even struggle to get a job. High taxes is an issue, however you can't collect taxes from those who struggle to find a job. The next election should be viewed as a more "anti-trudeau" style election rather than a purely partisan one.

Something you missed here in this video which I don’t blame you for missing is the impact immigration has had on youth employment here in Canada. It does not show up in the unemployment numbers because the youth are not even searching for work because they can not compete. If you go to a grocery store or fast food restaurant in Canada you will almost never see someone under 20 years of age working as all these jobs have been taken by older immigrants who are willing to take these jobs. 10 years ago this was not the case and these jobs were largely held by teens and/or older part time retired folks.
yep, I've sent out dozens of resumes and have gotten nothing. I'm stuck in a shitty fast food job. Every time a kid quits they're immediately replaced by a 30-year-old Indian that can barely speak English. The resume stack is the same height as the printer and it's 90% Singh and Kaur. I can only hope this improves a bit by the time I get my degree.

I understand Europeans being annoyed at increased immigration, but I don’t think Americans or Canadians have any right to be, unless you’re a Native American 🤷♂️if you want to deport them maybe you should start by going back to Ireland 😂
They basically relaxed the country's immigration policy without taking into account the increased housing, services, and infrastructure to accommodate such growth, let alone a job market go absorb it
Small correction. The TFW program has been around since the last conservative government, Trudeau ran against it in 2015 when he was in opposition for example, saying that there were too many temp workers. But since coming to power he expanded the program and in 2022 after the pandemic, loosened the rules even further to respond to labour shortages, and big business jumped on it to the point where it is being abused and causing cascading issues. Just so you guys know, otherwise good reporting as usual.
It's worth keeping in mind that the first incarnation of the TFW system when the conservatives were in power didn't resemble the system we have today at all. There were a lot of requirements, limits, and checks that have been systematically stripped away or intentionally ignored over Trudeau's many terms, getting progressively more extreme every year until we reached what we have now. The TFW system under Harper was much more limited in scope, and more similar to what exists in the US. I guess that's kind of what you were saying but I see LPC voters claiming that these programs are the same as what the cons created, and there is very little resemblance at this point.
@anneeq008 Eskimos? Are you referring to Inuit and other indiginous peoples from Northern Canada, Greenland and part of Alaska?

@@SirManfly what is "normal" immigration though? Many countries normally have zero immigration. Prior to Trudeau Jr increasing it it was still around 3-400,000 per year which increase and alters the population by 1% per year.

@@alexdunphy3716 400,000 is perfectly acceptable as old folks retire and new jobs are created.

Bringing in a million in one year puts huge pressure on the system and in my opinion was just too many !
im english and ive been working in montreal for the past 3 months, the quebec provincial government has been heavily pushing back against migration. theres a secondary issue that this immigration has been causing which is the demographic decline of francophones in canada and many are worried that they will lose their french services. if you walk around downtown montreal or the west island, you will literally only hear people speaking english and many service workers wont even attempt to speak french. in provinces like ontario or new brunswick its worse because francophones are a minority province-wide. french teachers and opportunities to learn french were already stretched thin and with a rate of 1.6mil new people coming here a year its completely unsustainable. it would be extremely unfortunate for canada to lose one half of its founding cultures and languages. i get its somewhat ironic coming from me, but from everyone ive spoken to here, their problem is that hundreds of thousands of people are coming here, refusing to integrate culturally and making a mockery of canadian institutions. and the federal government has not done enough to force provinces to build houses and make that housing avaliable for ordinary canadians. not a single person has ever got mad at me for being a migrant (though i am white and bilingual), and i still dont think canadians are anti-migration, they just dont like the ludicrously high number coming after canada has chronically underbuilt enough homes for 2 decades
I'm a French speaker un Canada. I migrated here too, but at the end of the day, french is just another colonizer language. If it goes, then whatever... it's not like french canadians are being killed and forbidden from practicing their culture like natives where. if they disappear it would be completely due to natural causes, in a land that they're not even native to anyways. It's crazy to me that when we talk about indigenous people who have been here for thousands of years and are unique to our country, people in Canada are so "matter a fact" about their disappearance, but when we talk about the bootleg french we have here everyone loses their minds. I am not for the disappearance of french in Canada, I am just saying if it does so due to the organic reasons such as it simply not being practical or popular its really not that big of a loss, they are not native here.
Same situation, but I'm still angry at the Legault government's response. 'Immigration is too high, therefore we need to fuck over Montreal and the Anglo universities even harder!' makes me wonder if they're still using lead pipes and solder in Quebec City.
@@TuAmigoElMorrocoy i think it IS a big deal because canada would lose even more of its culture. the french historically treated the natives better than the english (but not well of course!) and personally i think it stops canada from simply being a carbon copy of the US. it almost did disappear from natural demographic change and they fought to get it back. linguistic diversity is good and eradicating an entire language (and culture associated with it) is bad in every context.
@@rwall514 the ironic thing is Legault grew up in the west island and he got bullied for being a francophone which is probably why he’s so hellbent on protecting french. tough one because i generally support a lot of the laws but fucking over the anglo universities was not it. they should be pushing the canadian government to improve french education nationally or offering some more credit or benefit to students who learn/already know french.

Have "genius" exceptions, Ph.D's from X rated university in a STEM career (even if it isn't in critical demand, no Gender Studies doesnt count). 7. Not that it would ever pass but IQ tests 8. Health tests/Physical fitness tests 9. Finacial requirements (not for refugees but say you have +2mill in the bank and will invest +400k into a business that will hire at least 10 Canadians) 10. Not that it would be allowed but specific nations known to have X kinds of hardworking/compatible cultures could get priority.

By the way, maybe some Canadians have already noticed, that as long as you hire one of them (from THAT country), soon the whole team is replaced by them, why? Because the hiring managers (in their culture of course) get kick backs from each of the new hires (from the same culture). This is very disruptive to Canadian society. It’s how it works back in their country and they have brought their “culture “ and ways of doing things into Canada.

As FRENCH, I think it is more an issue with policies set by both governments!!! You know you bring students IN and why don’t you build houses and encourage construction???? In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!! So dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!
It was never about what the people wanted.

Why is the current ruling class of not just Canada, but most of the west pushing for these immigration policies, if they don’t think it will benefit them and their power? Also all of the major parties in Canada are neoliberal in some way or another, pro business conservatives love the cheap labor aspect. Win win for them, doesn’t matter if we lose.
@@gaulicwarlord cuz most immigrants arent citizens, and those who are dont have numbers big enough. And i didnt mean slightly conservative, (idk abt far right in canada, but most of the low skilled immigrants arent just conservative, they are far right by European standards)
I went to a business school that prinarily marketed itself to international students back in 2016. It was outrageous how many people were unqualified to be in the degree program. After 12 years of Canadian education, you should have a grade 12 reading comprehension level. If you are ESL, you should have to work up to a grade 12 reading comprehension level in order to access our degree programs. It does a disservice to committed students, and puts the onus on domestic students to coast along students that should be flunked out.
I know alot of foriegn workers from the Phillipines. Great hard working people but the sheer sheer volume of immigation is ridiculous, and it's definitely contributing to the housing and rental crisis!
I was flying to Toronto from Munich in 2023, I thought I got at the wrong gate, because 90% of people in front of it, were Indian. And they weren't young adults, able to work, they were almost all elderly, barely-able to move people. How can any economy work when you're actually importing pension-collecters, and not high skilled, working individuals?! Canada is beyond fucked, and it's tragic to see. Once it was a dream country to live, put on a pedestal all around the world as a model nation. Now it's a borderline 3rd world country with shiny neons, and it all happened in just the last 6-8 years.
@sunrays1279 that's really the thing tho I will never think of a indian as a canadian and I don't know anyone who would, accent or not. It's like a black guy saying he's english that's like me saying I'm a Martian.

It feels like Canada is the UK's little brother. We did the same thing and it took a number of years but the problems did eventually arrive. How do you fix shortages? Temp residency/work visas. Personally, I think its a bad idea to give millions of people citizenship so quickly.
I think it's too late, it has already left an open wound, such as the lack of integration of those people, the housing crisis, and the increase in unemployment due to the fact that most of them are not qualified for the work they migrated for.
I heard that the amount of people that came into Canada was so high that very qualified jobs got oversaturated and doctors and engineers came into the country and were forced to work as uber drivers
@@thehuman2cs715 People born and raised in the country had wages pushed down as well or were flat unable to find work due to newcomers willing to take wages that have tanked the market
There is plenty of work waiting for most of them, but they just decide they don't *want* those jobs. Tbf nobody wants them, but refusing a shitty job when you're on unemployment in another country is kinda wack.

Immigration should be the cherry on top of your economy. Across the western world people are turning against immigration because it has been too much too quickly. If the politicians had reacted earlier they would have helped prevent what they say they are fearful on - the far right. How far will the "far right" go? Who knows, considering many labelled far right aren't far anything, but it'll be markedly worse than if the numbers were cut years ago.
@@AsusMemopad-us5lk depends on what you think is important. I think the native cultures of countries is important too, and you can't change the people without changing the culture to something else. In recent history we've destroyed North and South American and Australiasian native cultures, which I wouldn't want to see repeated anywhere else. So I think slow and steady, allowing integration if not assimilation is the way forward.
@@JoeWilliams-bp5nm I agree with that, as well as there not being more immigrants coming in than the native birth rate can handle. There should be reasonable immigration quota caps per year.
The Bank of England's own research in 2015 found the same thing. As I recall it: A 10% increase in a workforce reduces wages by 2%. So not much on average, except it mostly hits the poorest much harder.
Even migration within a country especially on a large scale. China keeps its wages low by flooding the prosperous cities with migrants that compete for floor wages.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 Exactly. I don't know if the disparity was that extreme. But along those lines. So basically, mass immigration benefits the wealthy and hurts the poor. In other news: Water is wet.
I have been living in Canada since 2017, have a Canadian PhD degree in STEM. My wife and I are having a company employing 10 Canadians/PRs. And we are still on work permits :))
I think there's a huge difference between the types of Immigration Canada used to engage in and what is happening now. In the past it was either refugees who genuinely need help - Syrian refugees during the civil war, for example, or immigration with an eye toward people who can benefit Canada - skilled workers, people who can start small businesses, etc. The new immigration system has completely warped that - instead we are bringing in people who are making videos about how to exploit our food banks for "free food".
No jobs My daughter graduated last year as a elementary teacher Waste of 6 years of university and a big debt….no jobs posted with the board of education Horrible
I'll put some counter points to that anecdote, teaching is not one of the jobs being taken by immigrants, it's generally low skilled work. Also an anecdote of my own, after graduating, my sister got a job almost instantly as a teacher in Toronto so it might be a location thing.
The birthrate in Canada is close to zero. She should have thought about that before trying to land a job as an elementary school teacher and realize as jobs disappear due to the zero birthrate they go by seniority.
@@zerohcrows The birthrate is close to zero and going lower. Trying to get a job as an elementary school teacher will always be a losing prospect. There are virtually no more children in Canada.

As a canadian in that younger demographic, the main reason why young people have swung to the conservatives is that there is a broad consensus that our future has never looked more grim. The vast majority of young people think they will never be able to afford a home, everything costs an arm and a leg, our paycheques seem to go less and less far every year, despite wages going up. One thing that many of my friends/university classmates have discussed as well is the sheer amount of people who live in canada that do not speak a lick of english or french is too high, and we often wonder what canada even is anymore. Things that once bound this nation together seem to mean nothing anymore.
I’ve thought the same thing. Language, values, culture, all the soft power things that make up a country are altered when you introduce tons of new migrants. So, what is that country now? What does it mean to be Canadian? Or Austrian? Is it only a passport? I think the US is the only country that won’t have this problem. They’re literally built by immigrants all accepting a unifying creed. Accept that creed, swear allegiance to the flag, and you are American. Not sure any other nation is that way.
Well the UK has had a conservative government for 14 years, and basically has the same problems you listed here. Therefore, I do not believe this is a left-right social issue. I believe these problems stem from late capitalism policies. For example, transfer of wealth from the poor, middle class and the government to the rich through tax loopholes (leaves less money for middle class to consume and more government debt), or restrictive home building laws combined with corporate ownership of housing (leads to a massive increase in house prices, which benefits current home owners, including these corporations). Countries like Denmark have pretty liberal social policies, but have avoided the collapse of the middle class thanks to progressive economic policies. What I am trying to say is - don't hope the conservatives will solve these problems, unless they enable wealth redistribution and a massive house building boom combined with social housing programs (not really common conservative policies).
@@CartoonDrama44 This is a globalism problem, not a capitalism problem per say. You don't need to be a globalist to be a capitalist, mass immigration policies, especially the way it's being managed only benefits the big corporations, and certainly in the UK Labour and the Tories are deeply in their pockets. What we need is power to be taken away from them and to go back to us, the workers. We don't need to become isolationist but we do need to focus more on ourselves!
@@CartoonDrama44 The problem withe UK example is your country is flat out broke. You need a steady flow of immigration to keep your economy and country alive and to really pay into social services like pensions. Canada has vast industries and natural resources; we are very rich and run very high deficits every year because our economy can always pay them off. It wouldn't be that hard to scale back our deficit spending and then lower the immigration level at the same pace. The previous government was conservative, and they had somewhat tight rules on immigration with regards to temporary foreign workers and even things like citizenship removals for terrorists. But I think the economic issues that you've outlined have for sure been the norm like we need immigration because it has tangile economic benefits, but the downsides in the case of Canada are showing up as far worse to any benefit. Clear signs of wage suppression, underemployment for Canadian graduates and unemployment, far too much emigration (every 5 permanent people come in, 1 Canadian leaves), and the cost of properties being too high. Many of these things have cataclysmic effects on an economy that economists understand are far worse. Especially the housing problem is a red alert nuclear threat problem because it can cause an economy to completely stall like we are seeing in China. When too much of the population's monthly wages are caught up in mortgages, and are being unnaturally forced to be save to pay them off, preventing the money from being spent in the economy which can cause local industries to completely fall apart.
Probably not. Trudeau’s problem is that he’s so disliked at this point (67% disapprove), it’s like if Bush decided to leave Iraq in 2007. It’s a bit late for that. 😅 His poll numbers don’t go up because trust is mostly gone.

International student here, during my initial application more than half a decade ago, I clearly remember how thorough the whole process was, everything was looked into, your educational background, finances, intention, family ties and all. And the rejection rate also used to be pretty high as well. Coming back to the last couple years, I am seeing continuously how the whole system loosened up massively and people started to abuse the system(not to mention the Canadian government itself abused the abusing system by treating student visa as a low wage worker visa), I knew this day would come, ever since covid. Its funny how the policymakers did not saw that coming, and I am just a recent graduate with little to no knowledge about how anything works
I feel extremely bad for the Canadians here, I was definitely not born here but have lived almost my entire life here and I can with certainty say Canada took a massive downfall when immigration spiked high, I think it's high time for a change. I remember finding jobs back in 2010 was really easy, now it's like we live in a survival of the fittest for basic jobs. And the worst part it's the young who lived all their life here have to pay the price. Not against immigration, anyone agree too much of anything is just bad.
there are 2 large corporate landlords currently keeping their vacancies high in Edmonton presumably to maintain high rent in the absence of an oil boom. The city makes building anything affordable very difficult with high permit fees and long delays in issuing permits especially for people who act as their own contractor. I don't know if this is common elsewhere.
I'm proud that my country has welcomed plenty of immigrants, but I too think it's time to pause immigration until our housing shortage has been at least partly solved. And our temporary foreign worker program is being abused. It needs to be tightened up.

When we were children, we were always taught Canada was a "melting pot of culture's". Maybe it used to be, but not anymore. There is absolutely no integration of foreigners into Canadian culture, customs ext. We never used to have a "people pooping in holes on the beach" epidemic (not making that up). We used to have highschool kids have starter jobs at the movie theatre or gas station. Stuff like that. 90% of those workers are foreigners now. You can't complain without 'sounding racist', but there's a strong common denominator.
It was always a silly idea, the big cities were certainly melting pots but the majority of the country sure wasn't. Quebec, Newfoundland, Nunavut and the natives are all distinct cultures that are far from melting pots.
@@arseface2k934 I'd argue it's not a melting pot at all. You will NEVER see a Chinese guy and a Brazilian guy hanging out. Everyone sticks to their own cliques. I lived in Toronto praised for it's "multiculturalism", but I never even met a single person from say for example, Spain or Thailand?

There are more Indians in Canada from India than there are Indians of First Nations descent. I say that because the government issues me Identification with the title certificate of Indian status.
It’s especially rich that housing costs are so high in a country with so much land. Are they all McMansions? Or is it purely market manipulation? Stop legislating excessive expectations.
What does the size of a country have to do with size of the cities.. available land for development, permitting issues, cost of materials and consulting. Canada being big or small is not the driver behind the housing crisis
Land doesn’t really matter, there ain’t enough houses and they aren’t being built enough to meet population growth. Canada has weird restrictions with building housing and then there’s the cost too. The view of property as an investment as well as the money laundering in Canadian real estate further hikes up prices… So yeah, the reason for the high costs is a bit complicated :/

@@Chunkypumpkinhead Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say Trudeau painted blue but you're probably pretty close to correct on the rest. The problems we have in Canada; if we're being honest and not blind partisans, are the result of years and even decades of failure, mismanagement, lack of foresight, incompetence, whatever you want to call it and I don't really believe it lies with anyone the capability to fix things even if they sincerely wanted to. The amount of work and effort is just too daunting, the timelines too short, the vested interests too powerful and the political culture too toxic.
Canada has been losing manufacturing jobs and industries, all people can do is drive Uber and deliver food. And honestly to much people from one single country-India, people who rush on food banks and pops on the beach
There aren't that many people in Canada, i live in the greater Toronto area and it really seems like the majority of immigration ends up in Ontario more specificly in or around the golden horseshoe where we are already extremely limited on housing. They are totally pricing us out of the towns and city's we grew up in. I don't know how anyone is surviving in Ontario anymore
Trudeau needs to do this, otherwise his head would be on a pike in front of the parliament buildings. These policies, for multiple reasons, are very unpopular right now. He's still done, but this will probably prevent another massive protest.

Canadian citizen here. My daughter has a 97% avg in high school. Over 600 volunteer hours. She handed out over 200 resumes looking for summer work. No chance. Not even an interview. In my town, a grocery store had over 3000 people line up for a job fair. Most of them were of east Indian decent. We simply do not have the capacity to integrate this rate of immigration. We can only build 200k residences a year (country wide). Currently we're allowing in 1.2M migrants. This is because the ruling Liberals are trying to paper over a recession. Canada is in a "per-capita" recession but due to all the new Canadians, it doesn't reflect in our gross GDP. I'm pro immigration, but not if it's been mismanaged like this.
The majority of issues often come from poor long term planning. Immigration can be vital when industrial and infrastructure planning and building go together.
Massive issue is the type of immigrants entering.
As in what skills does Canada need? What industry does it plan to build etc
@@teamjam2863 Agree completely. This immigration issue is a product of decades of mismanagement. Fundamentally, we’ve seen the demographic cliff coming for years. Boomers are retiring, in economic terms, they’re becoming “useless eaters” rather than consumers. I hate that term “useless eaters”, very dehumanizing. But it does explain the need for young, eager immigrants to help backfill the lack of productivity and to keep a lid on wages. The problem is, this ramp up in immigration rate has had devastating consequences to the younger demographic. It’s had a negative cultural impact, Google Brampton, it’s essentially an East Indian colony. It pains me to write this as I profess I’m pro immigration. We NEED to grow due to declining birthrates. But not at this rate, and not under these conditions.
What is easy Indian descent. I am Indian but never heard anyone call me of East Indian descent 😂
It's because of the wage subsidies, grants and tax rebates the government hands these employers for newcomers. If they can hire 20 newcomers for the price of 10 Canadians, what do you think happens? We as tax payers are paying for them to take our jobs and more people need to be aware of this. They keep coming because it's super easy for them to get work here with this going on.

Second, no party is really saying 'no more' immigration just not 1 million a year levels. They all know we have a demographics problem. Peter zeihan explains it on his channel well. Our government has opted to use immigration to try and fix this problem. Im not here to argue if its the way we should go, just saying that does seem to be the lane we picked and we have been very successful at it until now.
Housing is strained by immigration but immigration isnt the cause of the housing issues. Canada has been more expensive than any other g7 country for literally 2 decades, back in even harpers time. We have had very little publicly funded housing and an abysmal slow rate of new housing built. And excessive red tape from provincial and city zoning laws amplifying that. Largely catering to suburban sprawl as opposed to medium and high density housing. This along with lower public funded housing, are the noticeable differences almost all anglo-western countries have. Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the US all have very expensive housing when compared to all other similarly leveled per-capita GDP countries.
@Ace-cc1em immigration has caused our birth to drop. Maybe the government should prioritize Canadians instead of trying to replace us with cheap, third-world labour.

Scheer was widely viewed as a weak candidate, and Trudeau actually lost the popular vote in 2019 and 2021.

Canada is not a country nothing to worry about.
Trudeau's government completely flooded the labour market with new immigrants, permanent residents, and "international students" resulting in a net gain of unemployment and a lowering of GDP per capita. These "students" in particular are working near full time and are using this pathway to back door our normal immigration system. This has put a lot of stress on young workers entering the work force (think 100's of applicants for any open entry level position from tech to labour jobs to fast food worker). An entire generation is fed up with this policy along with the usual base of conservative voters who already dislike him. Too little too late this next election is already over.
GDP per capita is bound to go down when you have a big influx of immigrants since they will typically not be paid as much as they should be until they get some more local experience
Same exact thing as the US

Wild or much easier to do your job?
Hire citizen first. Then PR and only if there's a genuine shortage, hire foreign.
It's literally not that hard
Why not say we do not sponsor visas in the topline? And then reject all TFWs?
What happened a year ago?
@evildead9708exactly
Why not limit 1st round interviews to Canadian citizens?
i will also point out that another factor of it is that a lot of young workers and teenagers simply can't find work now as our youth unemployment has skyrocket to i think around 14-15% at some point this year alone. pretty much most of the places that you would usually go to get a beginner level job were turning to foreign work instead leaving a lot of young Canadian in a position where they are unable to get work experience.
53% of Canadian-Born University students could not get work this summer!
Also owned by foreign workers. Mcdonalds, timmies, DQ all owned by people from India and they only employ the same in my town.

Too late for Turdea to pretend to care after all the damage already done.
He hasn't U-Turned though. He's just stopped the increases in immigration, that doesn't mean much when the level it's already reached is still double what it was a decade ago.
Exactly. He let more people into the country in 1 year than what he should have in his 4 year term. To Trudeau immigration isn’t about helping the economy, it’s about charity, and it’s all at the expense of the average Canadian.

Like it or not. There's s good reason why governments allow immigration even if its not popular. Mostly because the ratio of retired:working age people is too high. Meaning that governments cant bring in enough taxes to pay for the social cost of the retired.
As a natural born canadian, born and raised in canada and currently a university student, I hope I can provide more context for those who might not understand young voters voting rightward. I am not a natural "conservative", however there is a sense of hopelessness among many of us. How are we supposed to be able to provide for older people who rely on our taxes while we can't afford a home, and even struggle to get a job. High taxes is an issue, however you can't collect taxes from those who struggle to find a job. The next election should be viewed as a more "anti-trudeau" style election rather than a purely partisan one.

Are you Indigenous ?
Something you missed here in this video which I don’t blame you for missing is the impact immigration has had on youth employment here in Canada. It does not show up in the unemployment numbers because the youth are not even searching for work because they can not compete. If you go to a grocery store or fast food restaurant in Canada you will almost never see someone under 20 years of age working as all these jobs have been taken by older immigrants who are willing to take these jobs. 10 years ago this was not the case and these jobs were largely held by teens and/or older part time retired folks.
yep, I've sent out dozens of resumes and have gotten nothing. I'm stuck in a shitty fast food job. Every time a kid quits they're immediately replaced by a 30-year-old Indian that can barely speak English. The resume stack is the same height as the printer and it's 90% Singh and Kaur. I can only hope this improves a bit by the time I get my degree.

They basically relaxed the country's immigration policy without taking into account the increased housing, services, and infrastructure to accommodate such growth, let alone a job market go absorb it
Small correction.
The TFW program has been around since the last conservative government, Trudeau ran against it in 2015 when he was in opposition for example, saying that there were too many temp workers.
But since coming to power he expanded the program and in 2022 after the pandemic, loosened the rules even further to respond to labour shortages, and big business jumped on it to the point where it is being abused and causing cascading issues.
Just so you guys know, otherwise good reporting as usual.
It's worth keeping in mind that the first incarnation of the TFW system when the conservatives were in power didn't resemble the system we have today at all. There were a lot of requirements, limits, and checks that have been systematically stripped away or intentionally ignored over Trudeau's many terms, getting progressively more extreme every year until we reached what we have now. The TFW system under Harper was much more limited in scope, and more similar to what exists in the US.
I guess that's kind of what you were saying but I see LPC voters claiming that these programs are the same as what the cons created, and there is very little resemblance at this point.
He’s changed the country to the point that it’s unrecognizable.
His voters WANTED that so they got it. Are not those social traitors the real problem?
It's already unrecognisable after it was ethnically cleansed of the Eskimos and flooded with Europeans

Most Canadians actually never supported the high levels of immigration. Many polls showed this
Canadians aren't that bright or internationally minded.
I support normal immigration but certainly not 1 million in just 1 year !!
I support immigration that is focused and thoughtful. Not hidden agenda by mysterious external groups funnelling money into various parts of the government immigration.
@@SirManfly what is "normal" immigration though? Many countries normally have zero immigration. Prior to Trudeau Jr increasing it it was still around 3-400,000 per year which increase and alters the population by 1% per year. In a decade that's a 20-25 change in demographics in a generation, which is a massive shift
@@alexdunphy3716 400,000 is perfectly acceptable as old folks retire and new jobs are created.

Bringing in a million in one year puts huge pressure on the system and in my opinion was just too many !
im english and ive been working in montreal for the past 3 months, the quebec provincial government has been heavily pushing back against migration. theres a secondary issue that this immigration has been causing which is the demographic decline of francophones in canada and many are worried that they will lose their french services. if you walk around downtown montreal or the west island, you will literally only hear people speaking english and many service workers wont even attempt to speak french. in provinces like ontario or new brunswick its worse because francophones are a minority province-wide. french teachers and opportunities to learn french were already stretched thin and with a rate of 1.6mil new people coming here a year its completely unsustainable. it would be extremely unfortunate for canada to lose one half of its founding cultures and languages.
i get its somewhat ironic coming from me, but from everyone ive spoken to here, their problem is that hundreds of thousands of people are coming here, refusing to integrate culturally and making a mockery of canadian institutions. and the federal government has not done enough to force provinces to build houses and make that housing avaliable for ordinary canadians. not a single person has ever got mad at me for being a migrant (though i am white and bilingual), and i still dont think canadians are anti-migration, they just dont like the ludicrously high number coming after canada has chronically underbuilt enough homes for 2 decades
I'm a French speaker un Canada. I migrated here too, but at the end of the day, french is just another colonizer language. If it goes, then whatever... it's not like french canadians are being killed and forbidden from practicing their culture like natives where. if they disappear it would be completely due to natural causes, in a land that they're not even native to anyways. It's crazy to me that when we talk about indigenous people who have been here for thousands of years and are unique to our country, people in Canada are so "matter a fact" about their disappearance, but when we talk about the bootleg french we have here everyone loses their minds.
I am not for the disappearance of french in Canada, I am just saying if it does so due to the organic reasons such as it simply not being practical or popular its really not that big of a loss, they are not native here.
Same situation, but I'm still angry at the Legault government's response. 'Immigration is too high, therefore we need to fuck over Montreal and the Anglo universities even harder!' makes me wonder if they're still using lead pipes and solder in Quebec City.
@@TuAmigoElMorrocoy i think it IS a big deal because canada would lose even more of its culture. the french historically treated the natives better than the english (but not well of course!) and personally i think it stops canada from simply being a carbon copy of the US. it almost did disappear from natural demographic change and they fought to get it back. linguistic diversity is good and eradicating an entire language (and culture associated with it) is bad in every context.
@@rwall514 the ironic thing is Legault grew up in the west island and he got bullied for being a francophone which is probably why he’s so hellbent on protecting french. tough one because i generally support a lot of the laws but fucking over the anglo universities was not it. they should be pushing the canadian government to improve french education nationally or offering some more credit or benefit to students who learn/already know french.

I had to start my career again from the bottom then fought back to where I was previously after building the skills necessary in the new country. To put in frankly, as I was starting out again, I encountered plenty of useless idiots trying to migrate and they are not getting filtered out.
How exactly do you suggest we filter out the 'useless idiots'?
@@Waldohasaskit210 I mean there are at least a dozen ways.
1. Make them take a test in the field they state they have knowledge in
2. Only bring in people with which have knowledge of critically in-demand (or predicted to be in critical demand) fields
3. Have a probation period in which they will be deported if they fail to do something
A. Cannot maintain a job (provide some assistance to get jobs)
B. Commit a felony or repeated misdemeanor (have a list, you dont want to deport someone because they got 3 speeding tickets or were 0.001% over the limit one time).
C. Fail to learn English/French depending upon their location
4. Increase the cost of getting citizenship/green cards, you can set up a system in which the poor can pay it back over +10 years but if they fail to start paying after 3 years they get deported
5. Have programs that they must complete in X amount of time that they pay for, (basic lessons on Candian law, if they dont have a critically in demand job lessons on X, English/French lessons, etc)
6. Have "genius" exceptions, Ph.D's from X rated university in a STEM career (even if it isn't in critical demand, no Gender Studies doesnt count).
7. Not that it would ever pass but IQ tests
8. Health tests/Physical fitness tests
9. Finacial requirements (not for refugees but say you have +2mill in the bank and will invest +400k into a business that will hire at least 10 Canadians)
10. Not that it would be allowed but specific nations known to have X kinds of hardworking/compatible cultures could get priority. Yes, I do think East Asian/Latin American cultures are going to fit better in Canada than your average Arabian.
11. Prioritize people of specific age brackets. 18-30 vs 55-75
12. Make sure the genders are not too disproportionate. (Prevents immigration by marriage/issues with crime with too many men/issues with lack of strong backs with too many females)

Failures to meet specific requirements could be exempted with cash, and the cash could go to build more houses for Canadians.
@@Waldohasaskit210 increase your requirements for qualifications before visas get granted, increase stringency for the eligibility of specific universities to get international enrolment, provide visas only to higher education institutions that teach in certain industries that have skills shortages, increase the cutoff scores for English, only allow school transfers in certain situations. Get rid of the vocational schools that only provide useless ‘business diplomas’, int’l students don’t even attend classes there nor take these classes seriously nor their qualifications be taken seriously by potential employers in high skill jobs.

@@Waldohasaskit210by having a more vigorous checks on immigration documents from a specific country . Back in that country, the entire immigration business is very mature with all the services including falsifying documentations, certificates, university degrees, and financial records. Many of the “qualified”ones actually do not own enough money that meets the minimum standard for Canadian visas. In some cases, They borrow from families friends and neighbours, with a promise of bringing them into Canada once he/she gets a PR status here. In other cases, the numbers are simply made up. We are talking about a very corrupted country where bribes are part of the daily life and scams are part of their daily business.
There are tons of things that the government could have and should have done to filter out the low quality immigrants, but never did. Also those fake asylum seekers. I know of quite some fake asylum seekers. I can spot them when I see them, and everyone knows that they are fakes, but not the government, for some reason.
By the way, maybe some Canadians have already noticed, that as long as you hire one of them (from THAT country), soon the whole team is replaced by them, why? Because the hiring managers (in their culture of course) get kick backs from each of the new hires (from the same culture). This is very disruptive to Canadian society. It’s how it works back in their country and they have brought their “culture “ and ways of doing things into Canada. This never happened among immigrants from any other countries, but only this particular one. Go figure. And again, the government is doing nothing to tackle this problem.

In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!!
So dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!

In recent history we've destroyed North and South American and Australiasian native cultures, which I wouldn't want to see repeated anywhere else.
So I think slow and steady, allowing integration if not assimilation is the way forward.
@@JoeWilliams-bp5nm I agree with that, as well as there not being more immigrants coming in than the native birth rate can handle. There should be reasonable immigration quota caps per year.
@@AsusMemopad-us5lk yes there is. We have no housing for them. 1 million immigrants a year 200'000 houses built. It isn't rocket science genius.
@@AsusMemopad-us5lk no there is a problem with any form of mass immigration.
The nonsense 100 million Canadian dream has gone
? What's that?
To have the Canadian population reach 100m either by end of century or 2050, dont remember
That's probably a WEF goal, therefore only a temporary stop gap.
That was the plan before Hitting 21st century didn't happen jokes on them
Nah, this is only temporary. 500 bajillion Canadians will resume in a few years. Kindly do the needful and vote Liberal.

A "sense"
No, huge of amounts of immigration suppresses the wages of low income people even Marx saw this
Marxistpedia itself had an article about it before the site got taken down by stalinists.
The Bank of England's own research in 2015 found the same thing. As I recall it: A 10% increase in a workforce reduces wages by 2%. So not much on average, except it mostly hits the poorest much harder.
Even migration within a country especially on a large scale. China keeps its wages low by flooding the prosperous cities with migrants that compete for floor wages.
@@andybrice2711were those 2% on average?
Cause that curve could look wild if its 10% for the bottom and 0.01 for the top.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 Exactly. I don't know if the disparity was that extreme. But along those lines. So basically, mass immigration benefits the wealthy and hurts the poor. In other news: Water is wet.
I have been living in Canada since 2017, have a Canadian PhD degree in STEM. My wife and I are having a company employing 10 Canadians/PRs. And we are still on work permits :))
Just plain sad.
Justin has completely washed away the labour market for Canadians
Where i live homes in Canada have gone from 260k to over 800k for the same starter home.
Where I live a starter or fixer upper starts around the 1.4 million dollar mark in Markham, Ontario.
Its too late for him
To layer for Canada sadly 😮
I think there's a huge difference between the types of Immigration Canada used to engage in and what is happening now. In the past it was either refugees who genuinely need help - Syrian refugees during the civil war, for example, or immigration with an eye toward people who can benefit Canada - skilled workers, people who can start small businesses, etc.
The new immigration system has completely warped that - instead we are bringing in people who are making videos about how to exploit our food banks for "free food".
Sounds like australia and canada are making the same mistakes
Both are the same the Chinese priced all the locals out of the real estate market.
No jobs
My daughter graduated last year as a elementary teacher
Waste of 6 years of university and a big debt….no jobs posted with the board of education
Horrible
I'll put some counter points to that anecdote, teaching is not one of the jobs being taken by immigrants, it's generally low skilled work. Also an anecdote of my own, after graduating, my sister got a job almost instantly as a teacher in Toronto so it might be a location thing.
The birthrate in Canada is close to zero. She should have thought about that before trying to land a job as an elementary school teacher and realize as jobs disappear due to the zero birthrate they go by seniority.
@@zerohcrows The birthrate is close to zero and going lower. Trying to get a job as an elementary school teacher will always be a losing prospect. There are virtually no more children in Canada.
When you walk on Canadian streets, you will wonder if it is China or India or Somalia.
Don't forget Mississauga which which is a human zoo with more races of people on Earth living in a single city than any other city in the entire world.
Short answer: no
Long answer: noooooooooo

lol it’s so funny to see people say he’s changing directions on immigration when it’s so clear that’s not what’s happening
Long answer: Darth Vader's "no" at the end of Revenge of the Sith
@@IloveTide1997I wonder how the future will play out nonetheless
As a canadian in that younger demographic, the main reason why young people have swung to the conservatives is that there is a broad consensus that our future has never looked more grim. The vast majority of young people think they will never be able to afford a home, everything costs an arm and a leg, our paycheques seem to go less and less far every year, despite wages going up. One thing that many of my friends/university classmates have discussed as well is the sheer amount of people who live in canada that do not speak a lick of english or french is too high, and we often wonder what canada even is anymore. Things that once bound this nation together seem to mean nothing anymore.
I’ve thought the same thing. Language, values, culture, all the soft power things that make up a country are altered when you introduce tons of new migrants. So, what is that country now? What does it mean to be Canadian? Or Austrian? Is it only a passport?
I think the US is the only country that won’t have this problem. They’re literally built by immigrants all accepting a unifying creed. Accept that creed, swear allegiance to the flag, and you are American. Not sure any other nation is that way.
Conservatives are snake oil salesmen.
Well the UK has had a conservative government for 14 years, and basically has the same problems you listed here. Therefore, I do not believe this is a left-right social issue. I believe these problems stem from late capitalism policies. For example, transfer of wealth from the poor, middle class and the government to the rich through tax loopholes (leaves less money for middle class to consume and more government debt), or restrictive home building laws combined with corporate ownership of housing (leads to a massive increase in house prices, which benefits current home owners, including these corporations). Countries like Denmark have pretty liberal social policies, but have avoided the collapse of the middle class thanks to progressive economic policies.
What I am trying to say is - don't hope the conservatives will solve these problems, unless they enable wealth redistribution and a massive house building boom combined with social housing programs (not really common conservative policies).
@@CartoonDrama44 This is a globalism problem, not a capitalism problem per say. You don't need to be a globalist to be a capitalist, mass immigration policies, especially the way it's being managed only benefits the big corporations, and certainly in the UK Labour and the Tories are deeply in their pockets. What we need is power to be taken away from them and to go back to us, the workers. We don't need to become isolationist but we do need to focus more on ourselves!
@@CartoonDrama44 The problem withe UK example is your country is flat out broke. You need a steady flow of immigration to keep your economy and country alive and to really pay into social services like pensions. Canada has vast industries and natural resources; we are very rich and run very high deficits every year because our economy can always pay them off. It wouldn't be that hard to scale back our deficit spending and then lower the immigration level at the same pace. The previous government was conservative, and they had somewhat tight rules on immigration with regards to temporary foreign workers and even things like citizenship removals for terrorists. But I think the economic issues that you've outlined have for sure been the norm like we need immigration because it has tangile economic benefits, but the downsides in the case of Canada are showing up as far worse to any benefit. Clear signs of wage suppression, underemployment for Canadian graduates and unemployment, far too much emigration (every 5 permanent people come in, 1 Canadian leaves), and the cost of properties being too high. Many of these things have cataclysmic effects on an economy that economists understand are far worse. Especially the housing problem is a red alert nuclear threat problem because it can cause an economy to completely stall like we are seeing in China. When too much of the population's monthly wages are caught up in mortgages, and are being unnaturally forced to be save to pay them off, preventing the money from being spent in the economy which can cause local industries to completely fall apart.
Not quietly, but begrudgingly.
And Trudeau is buying friends mansions and luxury condos with taxpayer money! Spending 200g,s a week for lavish dinners its disgusting
Probably not.
Trudeau’s problem is that he’s so disliked at this point (67% disapprove), it’s like if Bush decided to leave Iraq in 2007.
It’s a bit late for that. 😅
His poll numbers don’t go up because trust is mostly gone.

I remember reading someone's comment on this channel saying "As usual TLDR gets things half right and half wrong" as if they didn't read because it was too long.
Still true to this day about this channel.
TLDR is always Semi accurate.
International student here, during my initial application more than half a decade ago, I clearly remember how thorough the whole process was, everything was looked into, your educational background, finances, intention, family ties and all. And the rejection rate also used to be pretty high as well.
Coming back to the last couple years, I am seeing continuously how the whole system loosened up massively and people started to abuse the system(not to mention the Canadian government itself abused the abusing system by treating student visa as a low wage worker visa), I knew this day would come, ever since covid. Its funny how the policymakers did not saw that coming, and I am just a recent graduate with little to no knowledge about how anything works
I feel extremely bad for the Canadians here, I was definitely not born here but have lived almost my entire life here and I can with certainty say Canada took a massive downfall when immigration spiked high, I think it's high time for a change. I remember finding jobs back in 2010 was really easy, now it's like we live in a survival of the fittest for basic jobs. And the worst part it's the young who lived all their life here have to pay the price. Not against immigration, anyone agree too much of anything is just bad.
In 2023 97% of our population growth was immigration. Im a real québécois and sometimes i feel like the odd one out

It's too late even if they completely ended imagination the nation's lost.
Canada is 95% immigrants.
there are 2 large corporate landlords currently keeping their vacancies high in Edmonton presumably to maintain high rent in the absence of an oil boom. The city makes building anything affordable very difficult with high permit fees and long delays in issuing permits especially for people who act as their own contractor. I don't know if this is common elsewhere.
Apartments were selling for under $35,000 apiece in 2022 in Edmonton. The same apartments in Toronto would cost around $750,000.
@@parkerbohnn bullshit. A tiny 1 bedroom condo in Edmonton costs at least $125k. I know because I bought one.
there is no social housing available in Edmonton
I learned more from this video about the current political federal climate than I did from every reporter in our country.
Good report!
I'm proud that my country has welcomed plenty of immigrants, but I too think it's time to pause immigration until our housing shortage has been at least partly solved. And our temporary foreign worker program is being abused. It needs to be tightened up.
Are we really not gonna talk about the NDP withdrawing support for Trudeau?
Oh, yeah. There could be an early election, for all we know
That's not good (for Trudeau)
It won’t cause a new Election, it’ll just make Trudeau a lame duck.
The NDP don't want a early election, but they want to be able to differentiate themselves from the Liberals, and that is incredibly difficult so long as they continue their SAC agreement.
@@innosam123 it means the Liberals won't be able to put forward a budget without triggering an election (or a Conservative minority with the current seats)
Yes send in another 500K PR's when we have a housing shortage sounds like a great idea.

When we were children, we were always taught Canada was a "melting pot of culture's". Maybe it used to be, but not anymore. There is absolutely no integration of foreigners into Canadian culture, customs ext. We never used to have a "people pooping in holes on the beach" epidemic (not making that up). We used to have highschool kids have starter jobs at the movie theatre or gas station. Stuff like that. 90% of those workers are foreigners now. You can't complain without 'sounding racist', but there's a strong common denominator.
It was always a silly idea, the big cities were certainly melting pots but the majority of the country sure wasn't. Quebec, Newfoundland, Nunavut and the natives are all distinct cultures that are far from melting pots.
@@arseface2k934 I'd argue it's not a melting pot at all. You will NEVER see a Chinese guy and a Brazilian guy hanging out. Everyone sticks to their own cliques. I lived in Toronto praised for it's "multiculturalism", but I never even met a single person from say for example, Spain or Thailand?
I just went to my hometown in MB of less than 10,000 people. The timmies all had employees from India. So did the mcdonalds the day after. No teenager in view in any establishment.
Meanwhile, prices for goods and services skyrocket. It's incredible to me how nobody in power has taken the pulse of the country they were elected to serve.
There are more Indians in Canada from India than there are Indians of First Nations descent. I say that because the government issues me Identification with the title certificate of Indian status.
bruh theres as many sikhs in brampton as there are in india.
As a Canadian, there are other reasons I want to vote conservative this time around.
It’s especially rich that housing costs are so high in a country with so much land. Are they all McMansions? Or is it purely market manipulation? Stop legislating excessive expectations.
What does the size of a country have to do with size of the cities.. available land for development, permitting issues, cost of materials and consulting. Canada being big or small is not the driver behind the housing crisis
Land doesn’t really matter, there ain’t enough houses and they aren’t being built enough to meet population growth. Canada has weird restrictions with building housing and then there’s the cost too. The view of property as an investment as well as the money laundering in Canadian real estate further hikes up prices… So yeah, the reason for the high costs is a bit complicated :/
The majority of the country is not suited to large-scale occupation, and the most liveable part of the country is a relatively narrow strip of land near the US border, where most of the population resides. 40% of the country is classified as an Arctic region.

Yep.
Even if a person isn't a frothing screaming Poilievre weirdo you can't take Trudeau seriously. He's just been such a smug little baby for way too long. No one ever votes for who they want in Canada - you vote AGAINST who you are sick of. That's why we pingpong so hard. We're going to get the largest Conservative majority in Canada's history, regardless of the fact that I don't think Poilievre has any answers to any problems, and is basically just Trudeau painted blue.
@@garettjames6349 Possible but I doubt it. Singh has lost a lot of the union vote. Union officials no, but rank and file members, yes.
@@Chunkypumpkinhead Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say Trudeau painted blue but you're probably pretty close to correct on the rest.
The problems we have in Canada; if we're being honest and not blind partisans, are the result of years and even decades of failure, mismanagement, lack of foresight, incompetence, whatever you want to call it and I don't really believe it lies with anyone the capability to fix things even if they sincerely wanted to.
The amount of work and effort is just too daunting, the timelines too short, the vested interests too powerful and the political culture too toxic.

I really like this channel! It tells news and that's is. No dumb political spins!
There aren't that many people in Canada, i live in the greater Toronto area and it really seems like the majority of immigration ends up in Ontario more specificly in or around the golden horseshoe where we are already extremely limited on housing. They are totally pricing us out of the towns and city's we grew up in. I don't know how anyone is surviving in Ontario anymore
Trudeau needs to do this, otherwise his head would be on a pike in front of the parliament buildings. These policies, for multiple reasons, are very unpopular right now.
He's still done, but this will probably prevent another massive protest.
Trudeau def wouldn't want a Jan 6 in the House of Commons.
I live in far northern New York a few miles away from the Canadian border they're talking about I personally am not heard of any of these border encounters besides a couple people that live on the border saying they've definitely seen more people trying to cross but where most people actually cross is the native American reservation that crosses the border That's where all the smuggling usually goes on.
