    Be careful what you wish for - Canada committed itself to barely restricted immigration, and it’s done untold damage to our country. Our PM proclaimed us “the first post-national state”, but things have only got worse ever since.

    Previously high housing costs are skyrocketing as demand now greatly exceeds supply.

    Healthcare and transportation systems that haven’t seen investment in decades are now being crushed under the load.

    Wages are under strong downward pressure while the cost of living continues to rise relentlessly.

    AI and automation are hollowing out what last good jobs remain, yet our government claims we need ever more people. More, more! More meat for the grinder, more low paid workers to exploit, more sardines to pack into tiny tins for the benefit of the landlord class.

    Most Canadians who were born here or immigrated 10-20 years ago are now talking openly about leaving, but we have nowhere to go. No other country is dumb enough to throw their borders open to us without being very careful to only select those that will bring benefit to their countries, with specific and essential skills.
