The Liberals’ policy of mass immigration has created an environment where the tiny minority of racists in Canada are emboldened to come out of the woodworks.

Over-reliance on India for recruiting international students & TFW’s has created an imbalance in society that could lead to strife. In the guise of increasing diversity, we are actually reducing it.

It is argued that we need a high number of international students in order to save the post-secondary education sector for Canadian kids. But that high number has made housing unattainable for the same Canadian kids.

Forget words. Federally & in Ontario, the actions of Conservatives point to supporting mass immigration. As the popular saying goes, “We need to talk.”

As the issue of international students and visa-mill colleges roils on, more & more unpleasant questions are coming to the fore, throwing yet more doubt on the worth of the whole policy. Questions such as, Does this college even exist?

Many international students abuse food banks. Many Canadians are too naïve to accept that we are being had. Meanwhile, the people raking in the moolah via study permits don’t care.

Some people always hated Jews. Being ‘pro-Palestine’ only gives them a pretext to act out their hatred in public. Sadly, in today’s Canada, they face no consequences for their actions & words.

The argument that Yaroslav Hunka shouldn’t be judged as a Nazi because he made ‘a difficult choice’ of fighting one evil regime (the Soviets) by joining another evil regime (the Nazis) seeks to change fundamentally how we have viewed Nazi crimes.
