    What happened to the points system that Canada has? I’d have thought the immigrants without a degree or knowledge of English or French would have too few points to qualify.

      It’s almost like the poster above is a racist fear monger who blames immigrants and liberals for everything wrong in society. Ask him if we should increase taxes to improve healthcare, education, or public housing? If these really are the problems we can fix them through a progressive tax that gives the middle and lower classes a lot of bang for the buck.

        Yes this is what we need, public housing, but contractors prefer to build “rent condo” at $2000/month instead, and we, the working class, have nothing to rent

          Public housing is publicly funded through taxes and recovered through reasonable rent. What contractors want is irrelevant for public housing. Support paying more taxes, support the Liberals and NDP and you’ll get public housing. Keep up the “Trudeau is letting in immigrants who are messing Canada up” rhetoric the conservatives are pushing and you’ll find rich condo developers getting more rich and the working class getting played for fools.

            I never did and will never vote conservatives. And we have Liberals/NDP for 8 years now and it’s worst than before, I don’t know the solution :-/

      Refugees (from warzone like Ukraine, Syria, etc) do not need points, they are welcome to Canada and this is the right thing to do

        I was asking about the immigrants specifically, but that’s a good point in that I don’t know the breakdown between immigrants and refugees.
