There was this Orthopedic Surgeon working in middle east – great job, great pay and perks . Alas moved to CA for a Illusionary life.
Finally landed up buying a smoke store and works his *ss off.
Cheers, welcome to CA the land of future slavery.

Jesus we have too many new residents already! People living two to a room., in vans, in motorhomes, in tents.
And the money print presses keep unleashing fury on our broken country.

In reply to Vincent Fornelli. Slave factory for third world countries. Lawyers, doctors, teachers are cleaning houses, working in Canadian retail stores, minimum wage labor of highly educated people.

Ain’t that the truth. Canada has gone full on predatory on immigrants so that ”they will buy our houses and drive prices to the moon”. Every pillar of the Canadian establishment is pushing on this narrative. Other than refugees from war zones, hard to see why anyone who’s got a net worth of $1m would move to Canada’s overpriced cities with high cost of living and no job prospects. The establishment actually believes it’s own propaganda – just not sure anyone with half a brain believes it.

This headline is so sad, it clearly shows the whole purpose of immigration is to depress Canadian’s wages and improve the strength of business owners/ corporates in negotiations. Imagine if we have a system like Finland, Iceland where they are all focussed on improving the living conditions of their own people.

And millenials and their parents keep voting for this to keep our wages down and opportunities low.

The former doctor that recently immigrated to Canada making me coffee was a blatant reminder this is about increasing the labor supply to force wages down, not necessarily about carving out a better life for immigrants.

Canada used to be a great place to move to. No catch. You could move here, get a job, scrimp and save and own a house five years later. No catch, just a wonderful place.

Now it’s a great place only compared to places overrun by militias.

Notice how the supply of cheap labour went parabolic in 2016 until Covid.

Hmm, I wonder what happened in late 2015 to have prompted this unrelenting assault on Canadian working and middle class wages?
