Our democracy is very much under attack and we will end up like the states if we are not careful.
This is not your parent’s conservative party any more. It’s dead, long gone, It’s not pinin’ for the fjords, That party is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker! What we have now is a mini trumponian nightmare molded by lies and run by criminals that want to destroy Canada.
I don’t see it that way. Most immigrants are hardworking, fantastic people, and frankly we need the extra hands. But when our government is privatizing and selling off all our assets to outside interests, we all lose.
Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.
It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.
To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.
Its called capital shallowing. We need growth that can be absorbed organically, like what existed prior to the Liberals, but its being done desperately to hide falling GDP.
Food bank usage is way up, housing is crisis levels, youth unemployment is nearing 20%. At least the last time the youth had it this bad housing was still affordable.

Mass immigration to depress salaries for rich oligarchs and land holders seems to be destroying Canada far faster.

That persons every response on lemmy is pure anti immigration rhetoric. They’re not a real person. I think it’s Astro turfing or whatever
That’s fair - I checked out a few more of their replies. If my generous interpretation was right, they do a poor job of making their point.

Make workers unexploitable.
It doesn’t seem that way to me.
As an old home owner or what?

They aren’t the immigrants’ fault.
