Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It’s entirely about replacing white, conservative Canadians with non-whites who will reliably vote liberal. Canada’s fate is to become a frozen version of Brazil.
As an actual immigrant it is both amusing and sad to read the comments here and on the original Twitter post. When my family immigrated the deal was that unless you were a resident of the British Empire you had to be sponsored by an American or Canadian family and you had to work under their supervision for a specified period. We ended up on a sheep farm.
I suppose this was to weed out potential riffraff and other undesirables from mainland Europe but it was also a sentence of forced labour. I still remember those early times of sheep, chickens and sadness.
Since then I worked my way up and have always been interested in immigrants since they are my people so to speak. I also work in health care so I see many people including immigrants of my vintage who fought for everything just to get ahead in this country. Of course I also went and visited the home country where the progressive disease was in full bloom and I could see what was going to happen. “Thank God!”, I thought, “that I live in Canada and this could never happen.” But I was wrong.
Since I have the vantage point of healthcare I see that our new arrivals often speak little to zero English and are often 100% supported by the taxpayer. We need burger flippers? Good luck with that.
What we really need are tradesmen of all sorts, as well as professionals and entrepreneurs. What I see instead are native born Canadians battling for front row seats to welcome the most destitute poor from the least likely corners of the world. By least likely I mean countries that despise us and for some reason you win FB and Twitter points if these homeless waifs settle in you rental property where the rent is paid by us taxpayers. Indeed these coddled poor are welcomed and pay not one cent of taxes, whilst locals battle to be seen helping them since image is now everything. Suddenly I am longing for Fenris Badwulf’s Broken Telephone Cafe. Sanity prevails within that cafe.
My parents came here because they could do jobs Canadians COULDN’T do.
They remember the first Trudeau well.
The only people who come here expect a free ride in return for voting Liberal.
Not an engineer or doctor among them.
We certainly won’t train or keep engineers or doctors.
This country is screwed.
If you add in the 5-700,000 a year Foreign Students it is already over 1M. Most of them don’t leave.

It takes a year to build a small neighborhood.. That may house 120 people.. The liberals couldn’t run a worm farm. Where are all the construction workers, materials, land etc going to come from?PM Poofty bleats “I want them, do it”, and all the sheep quiver and declare it done, like the billions of trees planted. TrueDooDoo needs to be hospitalized!
L – Flooding Saskatchewan ? Is that the irrigation plan the gov’t. was taking about?
Follow up question: Is it too late to start building that Ark?
We did build an Ark. It was called Canada, and it was generally constructed in the Fifties and Sixties by hard working immigrants mainly from the UK and Western Europe. It proved so popular that the immigrants that created it were able to spread the idea back to their homelands and the governments there copied those ideas and were able to staunch the flow of skilled labour from their countries. Canada helped them at that poimt and dissuaded Western Europeans from coming here and under the leadership of Trudeau 1.0 we started an immigration policy focused on Third World countries. That idea worked so well that Third World countries couldn’t export their people fast enough and now fifty years later the Ark is sinking. Can we do it all again, doubtful, since the Ark is already awash in the lower decks and the captains feet are still dry on the bridge. We are past the point of closing the bulkhead doors.
“When do you want the first million?”

We used to separate ourselves from the shithole world with immigration restrictions and import tariffs. We used to force a premium value on Canadian labour by deliberate shortage. Maybe we should pay waiters $30 an hour instead of importing the 21st century equivalent of brown skinned slave labour who will work for peanuts. Our minimum wage underclass pays almost no taxes and demands equal services. They then bring in their parents who haven’t seen a doctor in 50 years and need a lot of catch up surgery. Why in hell are we doing this to ourselves?
“We used to force a premium value on Canadian labour by deliberate shortage”
And we’re vastly poorer for it.
An economy based on underpaid brown skinned immigrants flipping burgers for each other is not exactly wealthy. Canada is rapidly become full blown shithole with our per capita income only 2/3 that of the US.
Yes it is actually. Someone has to flip the burgers.
Not really, soon all the low skilled jobs will be automated, flipping burgers, making pizza, driving taxi, parcel delivery etcetera……..
Adding millions more unskilled unemployable welfare recipients to “free” education and Medicare is a recipe for collapse. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detroit and others should have been the canary in the coalmine, as it applies everywhere.
1) Some of those jobs will be automated, others not. Good lucking automating moving companies.
2) The problems of those cities have nothing to do with immigration. Indeed immigration might be their only salvation.
Why would these engineers and doctors you think we are getting stroll into the country via Roxham Road?
Why can’t we train and keep our own engineers and doctors?
I expect that you will answer neither of those questions.

My buddy’s son (currently a physician’s assistant in Toronto)
is leaving in January for medical school in, wait for it… sunny
Australia. No place for him in Canada. We suspect by the
time he graduates, he and his girlfriend (medical research)
will be so familiar with the ‘land down under’ that they
won’t be returning.
Thanks bunches, Justin.

Yep.
Canada’s losses are everyone’s gains.
F— Trudeau and his voters.
As long as they didn’t take the clot shots. If they did all bets are off.
WE aren’t…..LIBERALS are
No, we all are. That’s called ‘economics’. Economics doesn’t care about your dumb political labels.
So, saskabush will rise from village status to become a town?????
So much for adding new first world polluters to Canadian “Climate Change” targets.
Thought 1 Canadian child produced as much carbon as a 1000 villagers in Africa???
Now Trudeau is turning those non-polluters into planet killers.
At least most of them will not live in Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
Manitoba is doing its best to get to third world hell hole status before they arrive.

Apparently 5.5 million illegals have crossed the boarder into the United States, since Joe Biden and the Democrat party stole the 2020 election.
…That we know of.
Current immigration policy is shear madness and will take us into the third world. Immigration, based on our experience during the 50′ and the 60′ s was largely beneficial and that legacy has resulted in little opposition to the current madness unfortunately.
No it won’t. You’ve been banging this tired drum for many decades and wrong at every turn.
Actually, immigration into Canada is nothing like it has been historically. In the past, people had to work when they came into the country….now they sit with their hand out.
“now they sit with their hand out.”
That’s a lie.
“We never had the sheer numbers of immigrants that we have today.”
Another lie. Canada’s immigration as percent of population was actually higher a century ago before progressive whacked it and instituted the dark ages.
What is wrong with cab drivers?
A little more than a century ago the prairies were practically empty and needed immigration to populate the forms which were virtually the only industry at the time. But by 1928 Saskatchewan had a population of 1.0 million people. So almost everybody was an immigrant.
It is not valid to compare the experience of 100 years ago with today.
Not true. We never had the sheer numbers of immigrants that we have today. Also most immigrants had some schooling and some sort of a trade…..they werent all cab drivers.
HELL YEAH. There’s no reason not to turn it up to 11. Immigration might be Canada’s only hope, but there’s still way too little.
Yes, because we need to tap into that vast supply of skilled engineers, doctors, tradespeople and entrepreneurs that are just dying on the vine in places like Somalia, Jordan, the Sudan, Guatemala, etc.
OR….
…..maybe the banks just need more people to make questionable loans to. Plus, the govt wants to ‘pad’ GDP stats, and every welfare check cashed by an Eritrean counts twds that total.
I see no reason it can’t be both. In any event, more immigration correlates with less welfarism, which is more than conservatism can say.
You clearly don’t live in the Lower Mainland. Even the wealthy immigrants don’t pay their ‘fair share’ of taxes hence, the attempt at make-up via the grotesque increase in ppty taxes here in BC. Decades back now, Herb Grubel dud some outstanding work debunking the ‘net contributor’ nonsense, and even back in the late eighties it was estimated it took at least 6-7 years for an average immigrant to start ‘paying their way’. That was before the wholesale importation of groups like those from the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, where govt handouts have been the norm since Mohamed spread his poison and armies throughout the region.
I doubt Herb Gruell did what you claim, and in any event, it doesn’t contradict my point which is that more immigration correlates with less welfarism. All the biggest expansions of the American welfare state concur or immediately proceed the period of little to no immigration from the 1920s to 1965.
Even if immigration did increase welfare, the benefits of doubling GDP would wildly outweigh that cost: https://openborders.info/double-world-gdp/
More immigration correlates with less welfarism. Now THAT’S FUNNY!
less welfare???? how do you come up with that??
By looking at the data: https://www.upworthy.com/a-new-study-completely-debunks-one-of-the-worst-stereotypes-about-immigrants
This isn’t actually the study I wanted to find. The one I was interested in compared immigration and welfare over periods of time and between different American states over the same time period and found that more immigration = less welfare.
Canada’s ongoing immigration boom will be a boon to its political right. Actually, it already is going by the BC muni elections a few weeks ago.
what a pile of nonsense
Statcan lists three main categories of poor in Canada: First Nations, single mothers and immigrants.
As of a few years ago, the annual net cost of immigrants to the treasury was $22 billion because they earn less salary and consume more services.
Even the demographic argument fails, with the average age of immigrants rising to the point where it’s actually higher than resident Canadians in some provinces.
All this against the background of shortages in housing and health.
But they vote overwhelmingly for the Liberal Party, which is why it’s happening.
Then cut services.
“But they vote overwhelmingly for the Liberal Party”
Which provinces? The young ones? Eliding a lot of details here.
“with the average age of immigrants rising to the point where it’s actually higher than resident Canadians in some provinces.”
Then you should complaining about them and start working for their vote. If Jason Kenney could do it there’s no excuse for anyone.
If an average immigrant 1) receives a net $6000 a year from taxpayers, and 2) prioritizes more immigration of their family members; then the only way to get their vote is to promise more welfare and immigration.
Which the Liberal Party does, so they get the votes.
In my home town there are 10,000 people without a family doctor. How many doctors could we hire if we didn’t transfer a net $6000 x 405,000 to those who arrived just this year.
1) That’s a made up number 2) The notion that “the only way to get their vote is to promise more welfare and immigration.”
is a racist lie. 3) Canada’s healthcare woes are entirely a result of its system. Imported doctors are all that’s keeping us afloat, without which there’d be even less availability. The 6K would be an irrelevant source of demand for something you’d impair the supply of.
Unme you haven’t a clue. The Lebanese owner of the variety I stop at brought up the level of immigration to me the other day, he brought it up.
That 72 year old is more in tune with this country, than you will ever be.
He will be replaced by mass immigration. So will you.
Import the third world,get the third world you deluded idiot.
I would like to crank it up to 1 billion per year from China and then replace you UnMe.
You would make great body parts/slave labour and replace the Ugyhars who can take your spot.
And the “browning of America” is working so well …
It is. Massive wealth generation and delicious tears from butthurt racists like you.
Oh look…..he called someone a racist! How novel.
“Oh look…..he called someone a racist! How novel.”
The unintelligent always resort to that at the first opportunity. They think it distracts us from noticing that they can’t form a valid argument no matter how hard they try…
Crime is soaring. Esp. property crimes. But … as usual you’re right. You’re always so, so insightful. Because the browning of America is creating cottage industries to pop up everywhere …
https://www.autoweek.com/gear/g39175840/protect-your-catalytic-converter-anti-theft/
Pro tip: white folk ain’t stealing catalytic converters from your driveway.
Crime and immigration are inversely correlated.
https://www.cato.org/blog/new-research-illegal-immigration-crime-0
Indeed I have to wonder if the spike in crime was not caused by Trump’s restrictions on immigration at least in part.
“white folk ain’t stealing catalytic converters from your driveway.”
You don’t know that you’re just a racist POS.
Nonsense. Everyone has driveway cams … and it … ain’t … white … folk … stealing catalytic converters. We have the video evidence. BTW … there are organized theft groups working … most likely Mexican cartels … enslaving their conscripts to steal catalytic converters … smash and grabs … all manner of crime. The Cato Institute is dedicated to open borders … their stats are worse than global warming stats … utter rubbish. PS … not a single Law Enforcement Agency in the USA tracks ethnicity or citizenship of criminals. They refuse to give the American people full transparency.
nonsense
Has a Climate Impact Assessment been done? That’s a whole lot of CO2 emissions.
Have First Nations been consulted?
Canada’s fertility rate has declined to 1.4 births per woman.
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=CA
The fertility rate for a stable population is 2.1 births per woman.
So as we age into 60s, someone has to pay for the Canada pension, health care etc.
In my opinion, any discussion on immigration, should address birth rate, and the implications of its decline.
And man the retirement homes.
Simple answer … the cost of living is too high for responsible people to procreate. You know … the folks who won’t have a child if they cannot afford to care for him or her. The more your government spends (read: wastes) … the higher inflation rises and the lower the birthrate
Nope. Fertility has fallen everywhere and for every group. It’s fallen even in very poor places. The simple is that kids suck and there’s no good reason to have them.
So a society based on the film/book Children of Men would be the ideal for you ?
Your an idiot.
You truly are a buffoon.
Russia is 1.5. That’s why they’re kidnapping so many Ukranian children.
Ukraine is 1.4 … better hurry up, cause the Uke kiddies are getting scarce. And didn’t millions flee to Europe?
How does that contradict his point? Or are you just spontaneously slinging poop?
“So as we age into 60s, someone has to pay for the Canada pension, health care etc.
In my opinion, any discussion on immigration, should address birth rate, and the implications of its decline.”
Well no. That is logically inconsistent. Someone has to address publik pension and health care. They’re the root of the problem and also a cause of low birth rates and of immigration.
Importing turd worlders of course, does not solve any problems, only adds to them and makes everything worse for the civilized.
Very few of today’s immigrants will ever pay for themselves ever. Yes some do and some of these outperform the native born. We need to fire 2/3 of the civil disservice and that would eliminate any labor shortage. It would also increase family size as the civil disservice is mostly (not all) women. That decreases the need for immigration. Today’s immigrants that work are mostly affirmative action hires in government that the parasitical banking ‘industry’ which is just an extension of gubmint. Sensible immigration policy would have 20-30,0000 per year.
Yes, ajl, send the women home to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Like the good old days.
Shut off the social benefit valve and that immigrant ship will do a U turn quicker than you can say Bacha Bazi.
Quite a herd of elephants in the room regarding immigration. So, I will be silent about the important stuff and restrict my comments to circumstancial matters.
Firstly, these economic powerhouses of diversity may spend a few months/years in whatever place they are put, but they always migrate to Toronto, the City of Light. I will not call Toronto a plantation, because that word has a bad connotation.
Secondly, it was observed that when the missiles started to fly in the Ukraine, all of their diversity fled.
I only really talk about this stuff at gatherings where people leave their spying cell phones in a Faraday cage. Nothing will happen until the bought and paid for media is purged. And when that happens, other things will happen, too.
LOL. Paul Mitchell. Earlier this year I nudged his Ego on Twitter over his hypocrisy on an issue and immediately got blocked.
People need to stop arguing with UnMe as if he was genuine. He got a chip on his shoulder about white people and wants them replaced. He hates white people, he hates their success, he resents their once domination over the world and diligently agitates for turd world payback. He knows flooding civilized with turd world will result in more turd world not turd worlders getting civilized. That is what he is banking on. All his arguments are just disingenuous deflection, the objective is replacement.
Your impotence is almost as amusing as your attempts at mindreading. Get rekt.
^^^^ Low IQ savage dancing on ruins of civilization, proudly raising a golden chamber pot to its snout.
What could possibly be wrong when 35% of the population is foreign born or the children of immigrants / What salad dressing will the Liberals or Conservatives apply to hold the country together ? It is my experience that most Canadians take their society for granted, are ignorant of their collective history and don’t belong to a political party. With such a lack of commitment or participation will the outcome matter ?
I want somebody to explain to me what possible benefit it is to our economy to bring in tens of thousands of people in their late 50s, in their 60s, in their seventies, and in their 80s and older every year as immigrants to Canada
To overload the healthcare system, of course.
Why does it have to benefit ‘our economy’? I have hobbies that might not benefit ‘our economy’ but I have every right to do them nonetheless.
Yeah, but non-citizens don’t (or shouldn’t ) have the right to do them here at others’ expense. Your home country (presumably China, since you’re so racist, in keeping with that nationality) doesn’t allow just any Tam, Deek or Haree to settle there along with their Grandma, Grandpa, disabled aunt, sick cousin and others.
Even transvestites have to buy their clothes from somewhere.
Don’t support the liberals or their policies but I’m a big fan of unintended consequences.
A friend mentioned in a letter in the 60’s an acquaintance who had left the states in protest over the Vietnam war and was now in Canada protesting unemployment.
Can’t see people who can’t find jobs supporting the Liberals for long. Maybe that will incentivize growing the economy.
Likewise can’t see immigrants being impressed by the current grievance groups the Liberals pander to.
I’m optimistic. People plus resources. Politicians willing to release the resources to save their own jobs. Could end well.
Habitable regions of Canada are few.. I suspect most will sneak across the border into the USA in the dead of night..
And they are all heading to Toronto.
Its a good reminder that Canadians do not want these unsustainable levels of immigration ( Globalism invasion ) and that these policies are imposed by a very small political class who neither care nor do they consider what Canadians want or desire for their country… the Globalist politicians and bureaucrats in charge are aggressively imposing their radical agenda “transitioning” Canada from country to “Post Nation State” and they don’t give a shit what any of us think about that.
Our political establishment represented by the Lib/NDP Con alliance allied with Corporate interests and their deceivers in the Media are deliberately and maliciously destroying the country, culturally… lets hope this diseased post nation state will end quickly and perhaps some Provinces can be saved from the historical scrapheap that awaits the former Canada.
Our political establishment represented by the Lib/NDP Con alliance allied with Corporate interests and their deceivers in the Media are deliberately and maliciously destroying the country
At this point, the sooner they succeed the better. I’ve grown to hate this place, and because my forebears have been here for generations, I have no quadruple citizenships that furnish me with golden passports outta this s-hole.
I’d rather take my chances with surviving the upheaval and rebuilding on the steaming pile of rubble formerly known as Trudopia. There will be a lot of scores to be settled….
Instant Liberals, add water and allow to settle.
Precisely.
If Canada becomes a sh–hole because of it, so what?
Immigration is free lunch – WSJ.
Anyone who doesn’t get that is economically illiterate.
If you are concerned about welfare abuse (as I am) then end welfare in every form and shape.
A Conservative is a socialist in a blue suit. Conservative criticism of ‘welfare abuse’ by legal immigrants smacks of double standards.
To be fair, this is the inevitable consequence of the progression in immigration liberalism that “Canada in Decay” talks about. Its been going on since Trudeau’s Daddy.
