    Wow so clearly given this revelation Eby was a closet conservative, pretending to beg the Fed to stop mass immigration, while he was defunding schools all along.

      Conservatives turn every problem into an excuse for racism.

      Our hospitals are underfunded! “I bet they’d be fine if it wasn’t for immigrants”

      Reality: “In 2016, 245,500 people were employed as nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates in Canada. Of these workers, more than a third (87,925) were immigrants.” https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/45-28-0001/2020001/article/00036-eng.htm

      Looks like immigrants are the only reason the severely underfunded healthcare system is still even running at all.

        It doesn’t matter what their race is, immigrants arent one single race of people, in case you arent just doing an ad hominem fallacy. We don’t produce enough doctors or houses to absorb a massive amount of low skilled workers.

          LMAO apparently immigrants can’t be skilled labour either. Conservatives can’t say a single sentence without being racist.

            You misunderstand. I’m saying they used to mainly be skilled immigrants, on the point system, then it was eroded to allow low skilled workers.

            https://thehub.ca/2026/03/13/how-canadas-once-great-immigration-system-is-being-further-weakened/

            Do you at least concede the liberals lowered requirements for immigration, or is this argument pointless?
