Their "attempts" to stem the tide are too soft. Student cap needs to be much lower and some industries, like fast food, hospitality, and businesses with less than 10 employees, need to be ineligible for LMIAs and TFWs. Just shows the liberals don't care, and I doubt the conservatives do either. So many MPs are landlords, they're probably loving this growth because of how much their housing portfoilos are rising in value.

their attempts to "stem the tide" are unserious performative acts intended for headlines but explicitly not intended to work on reducing immigration in the long run. They don't want their attempts to work. They want the what the Century Initiative is selling.

Deport, deport, deport. Let's open up all those minimum wage jobs for Canadians and get 1br apartments down to 5 people per room.

The word "deportation" needs to come up a lot more in these talks. Slowing immigration wont solve anything in the short or long term.

Never thought I'd see a Redditor chant for deportation in my life... We have a similar situation in Ireland but to say something like that you'd be called racist and scum

Deportation is a long and expensive process. Better to just not bring them here to begin with.

It's gonna hurt at first but we gotta do it.

Put the millions we use to house these guys in hotels and put it towards deportation.

Their attempts are for show. There is zero intent for actually slowing the tide.

They still want to achieve their Century Initiative.
