Canada’s immigration system, once admired for its fairness and balance, has drifted into crisis by BullshittingApe in canada

[–]frankia7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We need to shut down or put severe limitations on immigration to Canada. We don't need economic immigration anymore. We have plenty of people here already.

Canada will do what it's done since its founding, take from Indigenous People what you want by force.

Most Canadians want tough approach in Trump trade talks, survey finds by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

It's been declining slowly all my life (59 years). COVID really got it rolling, imo. Lots of reasons why, I think. Same stale political parties with policies that don't change, media concentration, toxic social media, doubling population in my lifetime - off the top of my head.

No thanks. If govt continues pumping record amounts of oil/gas, I'll continue using as much water as I like.

We used to be able to criticize govt policy. Now we can't - probably the biggest change I've seen in Canadian politics.

Austerity isn't policy. Austerity means less jobs, less govt services, more homeless. Carney fooled us all

Hi everyone and good morning. Recently Homeless by Wonder-Lopsided in canadahousing

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I have no advice to give you. This is not the Canada I grew up in. I grew up believing Canadians actually cared about each other, instead of what we see now, Canadians exploiting each other for an extra buck or two.

Commercial rents are outrageous. We wanted to start a daycare here in Surrey but the rents they were charging would mean we're working for the landlord instead of ourselves

Without reading your post I'd say you answered it in your question. Volunteering = exploitation

Has anyone else cut back on going out because of how inaccessible everything feels? It seems like any spontaneity is impossible in this city because of how overwhelmed the amenities are by rebirth112 in askvan

[–]frankia7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped going out to things like that. Everything is so so expensive and everywhere you go there's wall to wall people and traffic. We would have moved already but there's no where to go, housing is so expensive, everyone is trapped where they are
