He was taking issue with people who don’t value the contribution of veterans
Would he take issue with immigrants that don’t value veterans? Probably
Would he also take issue with Canadians that don’t value veterans? I don’t doubt it

Its up to him to be clear about the actual point he's making. From the words he directly spoke, he was singling out immigrants.
He's the one with a platform, he has every opportunity to clarify what he meant if he indeed meant something else.
Not sure why you feel the need to do it for him.
