    This country is literally made up of immigrants, along with the indigenous peoples of the land. That is reality.

    So you realize the problem didn't start with immigration, yet that's where you put your focus? The outcry should be against policies that promote exploitation of workers, regardless of where they are from. That by itself would stop any excess immigration equitably, without dehumanizing anyone by going back on our word and treating them like garbage.

    What ad hominem argument? I directly responded to the substance of your comment (specifically the premise that we start with immigration even though your comment contained an acknowledgement that was not the cause of Canada's economic troubles). I said nothing about you directly or your motivations. If you're going to ignore relevant criticism, there's no point continuing this conversation.

    Everything preceeding the word 'but' is bullshit, every time. Let's be real, you're all for mass deportation of visible minorities, you don't care if they were born in this country or how much their family has contributed to its growth. You won't acknowledge that every one of us who isn't a born indigenous Canadian, had to migrate here and be given a chance to improve the country, which we did, every time. Now you want to pull up that ladder and assert that because they're not the same colour or culture as you are they should suffer and probably die actually. Some believe you should be deported for not being of Canadian spirit, and so will the regime you're dreaming about after they shove all the Canadians YOU don't like out. Time will come that you won't be loyal or Canadian enough for them, and you'll be sent to a camp or deported to CECOT, and be asking yourself 'how could this happen to me?', and you'll know... This is what I asked for.

    If you are self-aware and you're actually telling on yourself saying "yes, I want what they have, which is our own military terrorizing Canadians", then sincerely, get fucked, you don't belong here.

    Tax the rich to pay for social service expansion like we always did successfully, resulting in everything good we have, until we decided not to because rich people are cool and will give you money if you help them get richer. everything else you said is hollow words and clumsily laid bait traps. Bye.
