Rudra Verma on X - "Immigration from India has a weird pattern since Covid. More than 75% immigrants are just from Punjab in various categories like students , asylum seekers, temps etc Rest of 98% India has less immigration than China, infact most of the high skilled leaving Canada are Indians"
Rupa Subramanya on X - "It's no accident that all these men come from one region in India, not known for its scientists and engineers, but for drugs and criminality. Canadians who trace their ancestry back to this area are well represented in Canada's Parliament. The politicians represent key swing constituencies where the ethnic vote from this one region is crucial. These guys protesting know powerful people with strong ethnic ties to their community have their backs, and that's why they're sticking around with a staggering sense of entitlement and protesting despite being out of status."
Rupa Subramanya on X - "Again, literally, every single person visible in this video protesting to stay as low skilled workers in Canada outside the Ontario parliament comes from one region in India: Punjab. They're even speaking in Punjabi. They are out of status and should be deported, instead, they're agitating to be allowed to stay in Canada. Why do you think they all come from this specific region to Canada? Why not from western and southern India which send highly skilled migrants such as scientists, doctors, and engineers? Why do you think they're speaking in Punjabi? It's because Canadian politicians of all political stripes have long pandered to this one community but it seems to be especially bad among Conservatives at the present time, although all these folks were let in under Trudeau. Remember, when Trudeau bragged in 2015 that there were more Sikhs in his cabinet than in Indian PM Modi's cabinet? That tells you everything you need to know about the pandering. And it's gotten worse as evidenced by this sense of entitlement from these out of status protestors. It's not the protestors fault for being let into the country, but the protestors know that Canadian politicians are supine and have their backs. That explains their sense of entitlement. And if Canadian politicians don't placate the protesters, they're going to face electoral consequences especially in key ridings that has the ethnic Punjabi vote. That's why they're speaking in Punjabi, to appeal to people in the community, and those that represent the community. In my first ever column for the National Post back in 2020, I argued that such pandering is degrading the Canadian polity. Unfortunately, pandering is here to stay, distorting Canada's national interests, and electoral calculus will mean that's not going to change anytime soon."
Mountain City 🇨🇦🇮🇳 on X - "Almost all immigration woes stem from diploma mills and visitor visas i.e, influx of low-skilled Punjabis and Haryanvis. I work in construction for a major contractor. All those Punjabi firms in Surrey just hire Punjabi labourers. As you said, the community is very influential."
Rupa Subramanya on X - "If you want to see what decades of political pandering to a special interest group looks like, and how it corrodes a country, read on. A week after October 7, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a key Khalistan figure, released a video praising Hamas and urging Sikhs to emulate October 7 tactics, including violence against Hindus worldwide. He has also urged boycotts of Air India tied to his own threats. CSIS and RCMP were investigating these threats in 2023. The Khalistan movement carried out the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history, the Air India bombing, killing more than 300 people, most of them Canadians. Yet CTV News @ToddCTV chose to platform Pannun, without mentioning any of this, and even treated him as an “expert” on Canada–India trade, something countless qualified Canadian economists or even those who don't especially like India, could speak to. Only in Canada do we see someone who has endorsed violent rhetoric treated as a legitimate commentator. It’s glaring and disturbing. Is there a simple explanation for this? That @ToddCTV failed to do his homework so it's sheer incompetence or something more nefarious going on? Perplexing. The point is you don’t need to like India, Hindus, or care about the Khalistan issue. But surely we can agree that a credible news organization shouldn’t platform someone who openly advocates violence against any group."
Kirk Lubimov on X - "The buffoons at CTV platformed a Khalistani extremist that mused with taking down planes and endorsed Hamas actions with a similar threat against India as some kind of thought leader on Canada - India trade talks. Oh and he had anti Hindu genocidal slogan behind him the whole time. The level of stupidity required to do that is off the charts."
Indian flag desecrated, violent slogans raised at unofficial 'Khalistan Referendum' in Ottawa as over 53,000 attend : r/OntarioNews - "White nationalist terrorist murdered people in 2021 and 2017 in Canada. Khalistanis last murdered people in Canada in 1985. The fact that you don't even seem to be aware of white nationalists actively murdering Canadians is crazy dude. Educate your goddamned self. And also, the only thing Hamas and Khalistani terrorists have in common is being not white. So in sum, you think all brown people are the same and don't count white terrorism as terrorism. Nice job outing yourself."
"Yes, those attacks in 2017 and 2021 were horrific — but they were hate crimes carried out by two individuals, acting alone. No organized white-nationalist terror group in Canada planned, funded, or coordinated those attacks the way Hamas or Khalistani terrorist groups have operated. That’s the difference. Hamas is an organized militant organization that planned and executed a mass-murder operation on October 7. Khalistani terrorists carried out the Air India bombing, the worst mass killing in Canadian history, and that was done by a coordinated network — not some random guy acting alone. So pretending these are the same thing is just dishonest. A lone-wolf hate crime is evil, but it’s not the same as a structured terrorist movement with leadership, funding, ideology, and a history of coordinated attacks, bombings, and massacres. Calling that out isn’t racism — it’s just being accurate."
Of course, the cope is that white nationalists radicalise people so everything can be blamed on them even if they don't actually organise attacks
Thread by @JDVance on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "While I'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into "diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot we have a salad bowl" immigration insanity than Canada. It has the highest foreign-born share of the population in the entire G7 and its living standards have stagnated. And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame. The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you."

Jamie Sarkonak: Immigration plan doesn't solve Canada's overcapacity problem - "The immigration levels plan Prime Minister Mark Carney released Tuesday addresses Canada’s population overload in the same way that partially mending a plumbing leak helps drain a flooded basement. It doesn’t. Carney intends to give 380,000 people permanent resident status per year from 2026 to 2028 through regular streams; over the next two years, another 148,000 refugees and work permit holders will be granted PR as well — which means not everyone is going home, despite their temporary status. The government will also bring in 385,000 temporary residents (workers and study permit holders) in 2026 and 370,000 in each of the two years after. Altogether, that’s over 800,000 per year. A budget footnote quietly adds that these numbers don’t include asylum seekers, which aren’t being capped. These can come from a number of sources: visitor visas, illegal border crossings, students and temporary workers who abuse their status to claim asylum and functionally extend their time in Canada. And on that note, visitor visas aren’t capped either. If the only people using visitor visas were genuine visitors, this wouldn’t matter — but people come to Canada all the time on visitor visas, particularly from poor countries, to claim asylum and reap the benefits that come with. Processing their applications takes years, which gives plenty of time to access Canadian health care and lay down roots to support future permanent residency applications that can be made if an asylum claim is rejected. And thus, the basement will continue to flood. The Carney levels amount to a reduction from the shocking numbers of 2022 — 437,000 new permanent residents and 604,000 admitted temporary residents, for a total of 1,041,000 — and that fact will draw praise from those who hunger for any improvement. But that shouldn’t count for much. The 2026 plan is still higher than 2014’s 681,000 new entrants (260,000 permanent and 421,000 temporary); a return to these levels should be the base expectation, but after the Trudeauwave, we need even lower numbers to allow state capacity to catch up. Remember: each year we run at overcapacity is another year of artificially intense competition for young people in the job market; another year of higher-than-should-be housing costs; another year of the health-care system scrambling to serve; another year of schools desperately trying and failing to make room for all the new families whose kids get to study here for free, some without English ability. There are also the costs of cultural non-integration that we can’t really quantify... On asylum seeker and refugee health care, $1 billion is planned over the next two years. This is because our system guarantees health-care coverage to anyone who makes an asylum claim — and no one thought to change it when the migration avalanche hit Canada. This coverage includes the full suite of doctor access that a Canadian enjoys (usually after enduring a waitlist) and beyond: one helpful government information sheet explains that it includes prescription drugs, vision care (including one eye exam per year and a pair of glasses), dentures, psychological counselling, mobility aids, oxygen equipment and ambulance fees. Another $479 million is planned over the next three years for “Asylum System and Legal Aid Capacity,” which means that we’re paying for their lawyers, too. Some of this funding is also going to the Canada Border Services Agency, whose job it is to enforce and deport, but the agency is also facing a two per cent budget cut... Nothing in the budget directly addresses the problem that Canada will face in the coming years: the 2.4 million people whose temporary visas will be expiring in 2025 and 2026, but who may very well stay. Some will be upgraded to permanent residents, and the rest will be expected to leave. That will be difficult to actually enforce, considering that we don’t track the number of overstays as is, and that various procedural avenues — asylum claims and appeals, among others — allow these individuals to fight deportation for years afterward."
Looks like "capitalism" and "corporate greed" will continue to get worse, driving housing, food and other prices up
Growth of food delivery platforms is based on cheap labour - "Food delivery is booming. One in four Canadians regularly use apps such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Skip, up from one in five a few weeks before the pandemic, according to recent data from the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. These platforms have grown exponentially in recent years — both in sales and the number of delivery workers they recruit. In their paper published in the Journal of Canadian Labour Studies, Baril and Mircea Vultur of l’Institut national de la recherche scientifique show that this growth depends on the cheap labour of young and immigrant workers. Baril has been studying delivery platforms since 2016, first focusing on Uber rideshare, “the only app at the time.” He began examining food delivery apps when he started his PhD at Toronto’s York University in 2019, and worked as a courier himself in the summer of 2021. He used a regular bike but quickly realized that in order to work for more than a few hours at a time, he needed an e-bike, which can run thousands of dollars and is costly to rent... Across North America and Europe, the pandemic brought a new wave of young, immigrant workers, says Baril. Food delivery app recruitment went up, and pay floors went down. “As working conditions got worse and worse, we saw the changing of the workforce towards more precarious immigrants.”... tipping has only become more significant. Pre-pandemic, tips were five to 15 per cent of the total income for an order. Today, they make up roughly 30 to 50 per cent. “The pay structure has changed and we are so much more dependent on tips,” an Uber Eats courier in Toronto told the researchers... The couriers also identified over-recruitment as an issue. “They’re saying there’s no cap on the number of couriers they allow on the app, so you’re basically competing against your peers for orders, and so it’s going to be who’s willing to accept the lowest-paying order.”"

Mark Carney is already struggling with Justin Trudeau’s immigration legacy - The Globe and Mail - "There are more than three million people in Canada on temporary visas, plus a significant but unknown number whose visas have expired, but who have not left. Most want to immigrate permanently. How many permanent residence spots are there? Just 380,000 a year. Taylor Swift’s concert promoters are not so thick as to let millions of people into the stadium before realizing that they only have a fraction of that number of seats on offer. The Trudeau government’s many acts of mismanagement on this file will trouble Canadian immigration policy for years to come. The fallout is already bedevilling its successor. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government released its immigration plan last week, featuring a significant cut to the flow of new temporary immigration. But it also increased permanent immigration, while claiming to be doing the opposite."
Time to blame Harper
Mark Carney is already struggling with Justin Trudeau’s immigration legacy : r/canada - "Those of us who are either the children of legal Indian immigrants or who came here through proper methods and integrated with Canadian society, are upset with how these policies ruined the public’s perception of our diaspora.

"Every Indian/Bengali/Pakistani person I've spoken to that I've known for years shares the same sentiment. That part of the community has worked so hard to share the beauty of their culture while embracing Canadian life only to have the newer folks who don't want to integrate and show zero civic sense are furious."

Ottawa cutting immigration has eased pressures on housing and labour - "Ottawa hitting the brakes on population growth by drastically cutting incoming immigration has eased the pressure on social and economic infrastructure, according to a newly released report from TD Economics. Last year, notes TD, government policymakers acknowledged that the influx of immigration was too high relative the ability of Canada’s social and economic infrastructure to cope. Unemployment rose more than a full percentage point between 2022-2024, while businesses struggled to keep up with a rapidly expanding supply of workers. Meanwhile, housing affordability was being stretched to its limits... Reducing the number of immigrants can relieve housing market pressures a few ways, they write. In the rental market, drastically slower immigration bears out TD’s softer rent growth forecast of 3-3.5 per cent in 2026, which is roughly half the growth rate of 2024. Lowering the cap on newcomers has also lowered condo demand for both homeownership and the secondary rental market. It has also caused downward pressure in asking rents across major cities, write Caranci and Ercolao. The largest shifts were observed in B.C. and Ontario due to a higher proportion of temporary foreign workers and students. Those markets also have the highest supply of condo units where the secondary market was previously attractive to investors... Turning to the labour market, an increase in immigration during the pandemic recovery period helped address shortages in key sectors of the economy. In the beginning, Canadian employers showed capacity to integrate the new workers. However, this capacity was exhausted as labour force growth approached nearly four times its pre-pandemic growth rate, say Caranci and Ercolao. And by the middle of last year, there was plenty of evidence to show labour markets were cooling. Job vacancy rates normalized, employment growth moderated, and the unemployment rate pushed higher... If labour growth rates of the prior two years were maintained through 2025, “we estimate today’s unemployment rate could have breached 8%.”"
Weird how reduced immigration reduces "greed"

Quebec passes bill requiring immigrants to adopt shared values - "Newcomers to the province must adhere to shared values including gender equality, secularism and protection of the French language. The law is Quebec's answer to the Canadian model of multiculturalism that promotes cultural diversity. The Quebec government believes the Canadian model is harmful to social cohesion. Quebec can use the new law to withhold funding for groups and events that don't promote Quebec's common culture. Critics have said the legislation is an attempt to assimilate newcomers and could stoke anti-immigrant sentiment."
Apparently assimilation is bad
