I don't even think they realize just how bad all of that sounds.

Immigrants are not to blame for our issues in Canada. The volume of immigration, the quality of those immigrants and how we are equipped to handle the volume of immigrants as a country is an issue. It's a self imposed injury and it's a complete disservice to those coming over and to Canadian's who are over here.
Canadian's shouldn't kid themselves, there is a LOT of trafficking and exploitation that is happening with Canada's loose immigration policies over the last little while. Who is benefiting from this overall? Is this what these people signed up for?
If people took out the bias and stopped worrying pointing the fingers about racism or being called racist, you can see that this hasn't been a good period overall for the level of immigration we had. It's ok to take a little breather for a while, something that the Carney government looks to be doing significantly. There is zero need to overextend ourselves. We should be integrating immigrants into Canada well, making sure employment, housing, social services are available, making sure exploitation is kept to a minimum. We should have an immigration strategy, not just flood the country and put them into hotels or have them jump from program to program to program applying for work. The goal is to be compassionate and have a Canadian culture, not work hard to fuel corporate interest with regards to cheap labour and finding clients for big business. On earnings call you see headlines like this and wonder, what the hell is going on? Is this why we are bringing people over, to boost stock prices?
