found that 49 per cent of us think the federal government’s new target of 500,000 immigrants a year is too many, while fully 75 per cent are concerned the plan will result in excessive demand for housing and social services. For his part, the immigration minister,
Immigrants not only add to the demand for housing, they also increase congestion for a wide range of public services: doctors, hospitals, schools, universities, parks, retirement homes, and roads and bridges, as well as the utilities that supply water, electricity and sewers. In theory, the supply of all these things could be expanded reasonably rapidly. In practice, expansion is slow.
Japan’s widespread success in using robots to deal with labour shortages caused by its aging population illustrates what could be done in Canada. In Germany employers operate apprenticeship programs to train skilled workers in the numbers industry needs. In this country, such programs could relieve the shortage of skilled labour while benefiting people already here, rather than new immigrants brought in specially to take highly paid skilled jobs currently going asking.
fpcomment Why? Unless you are from First Nations, all Canadians are immigrants no matter how many generations they are.
fpcomment Son works for large national home builder. They have been informed housing starts in 2023 will be down. People are canceling purchases as agreed price puts them under water and interest rates put to many out of market. A slew of new unskilled workers not needed
fpcomment The biggest issue is Canada doesn’t follow ‘The ABC Rule’ when it comes to Immigration!
fpcomment This is not benevolence toward immigrants by the Trudeau Regime but abt AN AGENDA to destroy Canada's infrastructure (health care system was in trouble before the influx imagine the added pressure now). If ur going to allow an influx then u better make sure system can sustain it.
fpcomment Yes we are
fpcomment We need to stir them away from big cities! The issues are in the big cities!!! Making it more unaffordable!
fpcomment Immigration is just another form of human trafficking. Immigrants are being used as a political weapon against Canadians by Trudeau Liberals. It’s not racism it’s diluting our country, democracy. Saying so doesn’t make one racist. Think about what’s happening in Paris.
fpcomment Why are the majority of new immigrants people of colour? Should there not be an even mix.
fpcomment Doesn’t that make a person racist?
fpcomment It's no accident that on a column demonizing immigrants, the National Post uses a photo of a black child.
fpcomment It’s insane what is taking place and Canada is being ruined very quickly, bankruptcy is coming fast for Canadians 😡
fpcomment Seriously how many fast food workers do we need?
fpcomment Fear for our Healthcare & Education Systems.
Rhonda96046401 fpcomment Amazing! Not a white face in the bunch. What a wonderful thing it is to be a Cuban refugee in Canada. Just love Trudeau his Mum, his Dad, his vision of Canada. Poor neighbour looking for hand outs from uncle JOE. Can you believe this shit.
fpcomment I think GoC is setting them up for disappointment and failure without proper resources and opportunities to sustain established numbers arriving.
fpcomment And JustinTrudeau’s reply 👇
fpcomment Immigration is a privilege, it should come with lots of strings. The 3 top largest cities in Canada are clearly overpopulated, so as a starting point, they need to make sure immigrants are required to move into smaller cities for at least 10 years to establish roots.
fpcomment CANADA IS DOOMED
fpcomment We can not provide adequate health care and security to home grown Canadians and still offer these services to immigrants? It’s a joke!
fpcomment I do not oppose immigration, however, at a time when Canada is having difficulty providing healthcare, housing that is available and affordable and the large segment of society who are homeless, I think bringing in over 1 million immigrants within the next 3 yrs is impractical.
fpcomment We can’t look after the current population, let alone import more and more immigrants. That will lead to resentment among current population.
fpcomment We should be more selective. Indian immigration lawyers are making millions.
fpcomment More people = more pollution & gridlock, development of greenspace. Libs / NDP say they believe in climate change - so why r they inc immigration to 500K yr? We aren't short labour. CEOs / Banks want cheap labour & tiny apt homes for 99% of us. They profit, We suffer.
fpcomment These people are all liberal voters. An never-ending to corrupt society.
fpcomment We need to be pro-immigration and anti-mass-immigration.
fpcomment Perhaps people are worried that more schools, hospitals and other services are not being built to keep up with the demand. There needs to be a new hospital built every few years and several schools at this rate of immigration. That is not happening and that is the issue.
fpcomment So to summarize: white people upset and worried foreigners are going to come & take over “their” land & cultures.
fpcomment Welcome to our mismanaged healthcare…
fpcomment Post Media who has never criticised developers for their practices now blames immigrants for a housing crisis. Post Media who has supported Climate Change deniers now insists we can't accept immigrants who are moving because of the effects of climate change.
fpcomment It’s not racist to be against high levels of immigration! Don’t let them change the narrative.
fpcomment It’s nice to see the Canadian flag
fpcomment (immigration levels)' allow employers to avoid the cost of operating apprenticeship programs to train skilled workers'. THIS - for the past 35 years; Shameful government irresponsibility and not discussed at all.
fpcomment I am worried because they are importing votes
fpcomment Great. That's 500,000 more pressure on our social system
fpcomment No problem. They can take up residence at 300-365 Bloor St E., in Toronto.
fpcomment Immigration isn’t the problem .. it’s the struggle they’ll endure to maintain a good standard of living.. If Canadians are crippled by overbearing costs and taxes ..what are immigrants enduring
fpcomment Did Liberals plan ahead for mass immigration ? Did we see a housing boom.. did we see more in healthcare, did we see employment opportunities, did we improve the education system, did we see mass transit, did we improve infrastructure .. OR DO WE JUST PANIC NOW AND FALL BEHIND
fpcomment Oh? This was 'racist' in 2019 when I ran Federally on anti-mass immigration? Newsflash - people come here BECAUSE their countries are overcrowded, not to move to be surrounded by the same thing. It's all fun and games until White libs kids can't afford housing. PierrePoilievre
fpcomment There may be a point to this article, ie, if you've been to a provincial park lately, but I am still in favour of immigration, especially via the post secondary education system.
fpcomment Canada cannot manage half a mill immigrants per/yr! Gov't must cap at a MUCH lower until they get our healthcare system in top shape. Hire doctors, nurses, build hospitals, fund treatments & FIND CURES! Too many Cdns suffering. 😢 JustinTrudeau GovCanHealth DeputyPM_Canada
fpcomment I'm not worried. Last time I checked I was a Canadian.
fpcomment We should be worried about all the decisions the Liberals are making.
fpcomment No shit?!?
fpcomment Yeah it’s the liberals who are divisive. Oh wait. Cons running the same anti immigrant playbook. What’s next? Trickle down economics?
fpcomment Nothing like blaming one situation for the failures of another, immigration = poorer education, healthcare and democracy- and if you truly believe that then perhaps we should all be looking to relocate to some other county, cause the immigrants are coming, run
fpcomment PierrePoilievre is highly critical of our immigration system which, he laments has a 2.1 million family application backlog. If Conservative Canadians are not concerned and Liberals and NDP are comfortable with present targets then who is worried?
fpcomment No worries. Lots of crown land and some ponds to go and build a little log home on. We can supply you with an ax. Get to it
fpcomment This former reform politician has always completed about immigration. Canada has lots of room.
