      Canada has an increasing anti immigrant sentiment right now. They’ve announced big cut backs to the number of immigrants allowed. Furthermore, moving to another country is difficult and expensive. It’s not a realistic option for most people.

        Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it’s a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.

        I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I’ve never had anyone complain about my immigration however I’ve had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.

      From what I can gather, Canada seems to be following the same trend as the US just shifted back a few years

        Kinda douchey to be a dick towards those who fought against it, don’t you think?

            What do you mean “you pricks”? I am not American. I am German. And I think you are having a panic attack.

            Not arguing against the things you wrote possibly happening. Hell, I think it will be even worse than that.

            But these people also didn’t want any of this. Let’s not be awful against those who need a blanket and a hug, please?

        Fellow Canadian here and I don’t like being overly harsh with my criticisms … but I’m with you on this.

        I n voted for Harris but agree with you. We need to stay and clean up our mess. Because were are we going run to. America doesn’t just affect America but whole world. We need to fight not run.

        I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”

        The people fleeing it are exactly the people you’d want to see.

        Actually, given the senseless over-generalization, you might prefer seeing your spiritual brothers, the republicans.
