Should be on repeat 24/7 on billboards around the GTA. PS send a copy to Ottawa as well.
There is an old saying. One never wants the bus to stop for the next passengers after boarding, even though the bus has seats. The deep meaning behind and it is true. This is human behaviour.
And the funny part is, this will go on forever.
Countries are mere boundaries created by people to control a group of people. Nothing else. Immigration or Emigration are natural processes; they happen within all species for their own reasons.

You cannot control Immigration; it's a natural process, as I said above. What you can do is enforce strict laws and rules to maintain the integrity of civilised societies living in this part of the world. Look at the UAE, they welcome everyone, but with conditions.

The UAE is not democratically run though. In our democracy there's some parties that benefit more than others from the open border policies. The idea is that the party that let these immigrants in will in turn return the favour by voting for their party in future election cycles.

We can control immigration by prioritising people who have something to offer Canada. We need trades people, doctors, and engineers. Put them at the head of the line. A good understanding of English and/or French would be a big plus also. Put conditions on student visas.. i.e. if you come here on a student visa then you're required to actually study here and then use your skills here, at least for a few years until the economics make sense for Canada. My own personal preference... mandatory military service. Everyone should be required to serve at least two years in the military, in a nonadministrative function. All should be prepared to defend Canada and the freedoms we too often take for granted. Everyone should experience the hardship of winter exercises and life in the field for extended periods.. to learn and to appreciate first hand what the people who died for our freedoms went through. .. and those who refuse or wash out can go back to where they came from. Not harsh... but Canada should be getting something back for all the people we allow in.
As for the trucker's view.. he's conflating two issues... unqualified drivers and immigrants. There are good, bad, and ugly everywhere... some are immigrants.. some are home grown. No one group has a monopoly on honesty, competence and integrity.

I doubt that this idea is true. If it was, why are most of the MPs and MPPs in the Brampton/Caledon area, and other ridings with a high number of new immigrants from India, predominately Conservative? Many immigrants, after building some equity and wealth here in Canada, tend to gravitate to the Conservative, thinking that they will best protect their interests.

Not quite sure what role the United Nations has in people wanting to move to another country. Immigration is as old as humanity. People have always been on the move, usually to find better lives for themselves and their families. War, famine, drought and other man made and natural disasters also drives people to leave their homes. If the UN was funding these countries with”large amounts of money”, why would people want to leave them?
The problem is that Immigration has become the source of free income for Canadians. The primary purpose of immigration is to provide a workforce to meet the demand and drive growth for the nation. It can only happen when the number of people coming in matches the qualifications needed. Can you imagine classes being held in a Cineplex because the College didn't have enough rooms?
There is a quota that the country must meet, requiring it to accept X number of immigrants from low-income countries in the form of refugees to receive funding. The UN pays a certain amount, and a country spends maybe a quarter of it, with the rest kept for personal expenses. There is a whole documentary on Ukraine funding.

I'm referring to the election results, if you look at this year's it was predominantly liberal in Brampton/Mississauga ridings where a high number of new immigrants will reside. Out of the 5 ridings in Brampton only 1 of them voted conservative, the rest were red. This strategy has been effective in the US as well in states like California, they haven't voted republican since the 80s and their immigration policies play a big role in that.

Actually, that’s not quite correct. The UN does not dictate immigration policy to any country nor does it directly pay countries to accept immigrants. They do provide financial help to countries who have decided to accept immigrants in the form of assistance in housing and settlement. There are many sources of dubious or outright incorrect information circulating on the internet. Caution is highly recommended.
Housing and settlement needs funding, which is provided in abundance by the UN. I know hotels were booked for a year in advance at the rate of $10k per room during the Ukraine war. I understand there is no direct transfer of money, but surely via policies. The USA is pulling the plug and doesn't want to be on the list because Immigration is not what they need; in fact, they need just temporary workers. In comparison, Canada needs permanent immigrants because of the Baby Boomers.

Not sure why a bigger population is the answer. When I entered the workforce Canada had a population of 22 million. Lifestyle then was comparable to what we have now. Now 41 million isn’t enough..why? More people.. more traffic.. more pollution.. more resources required.. We should be looking to moderate immigration..ideally bringing in people we need only and keeping the hoards who have needs and nothing to offer out.
