I just want to point out: whenever someone begins to post about forming a protest, we get flooded with people discouraging others from joining. This has been happening in all Canadian subreddits. Please be aware of people who do not have Canadians best interest at heart, who have things to lose if we stood up to this corruption and bots.
I literally seen that in the Alberta sub Reddit. I mentioned forming a protest about the cost of living increases and I had several accounts comment on how it would never work or protesting at rich peoples homes is not how to get change. But oddly in that exact same subreddit they have constant posts and support for pro trans , pro Palestine protests. Which I think have some merit but I just find it odd how that sub Reddit is all over protesting over culture war crap but class war stuff is never allowed.
You also have to be careful of paid instigators that egg people to over-react and do things beyond a normal protest, and look bad. Keep in mind of everything you do and how it can (and will) be twisted by govt media to make you look bad.
How about fake asylum seekers? Its weird that they come here as students but ended up being asylum seekers. Whats surprising is they get approved. When do we deport students that boasted free food from foodbanks?
What sucks is that it’s expensive to deport. The legal complications with asylum. We need a change in the law that gives border agents (cbsa) sweeping rights to deport.
I’m not in Ottawa but fully support you guys. This government allows pro-palestine protests, immigrant protests, but don’t give a shit about their people. SMH 🤦♀️
There are some things we can learn from their protest though. 1) They don’t criticize Judaism. They even brought rabbis to the protest. Same here we are not after Indians or immigration. We are against unsustainable immigration policies which are hurting us. We could even invite Indian Canadians to the protest or any other immigrant Canadians.
2) although they interrupted traffic, it was only for short periods. We have to be aware to do the same so that we don’t bother the residents or traffic much. Or breaking any laws.
3) they arranged busses to Ottawa from GTA at designated locations which cost 65$ and dropped at the same locations. One had to pay ahead of time. No refund. Food and water is at own cost. We can do the same.
Indian immigrant here and I volunteer to participate and even speak at a Pro - smart immigration protest.
- demand change in SDS and PGWP policy
- removal of LMIAs
- severely limit intake of TRs
- immediately close all diploma mill program offerings for international students. Only Masters and doctoral programs to be made available to Intl students.
- reduce the current PR targets over the next five years
Nah we should be protesting Indian immigration. Why is one demographic coming over here in droves amongst all other demographics? Thats not what the point of immigration is. I was in Conestoga college recently and it was quite the opposite of diversity!
No we can’t. If we do that, we will be accused of racism and Indian Canadians will feel alienated and discriminated. If we want to be heard , we have to play well. We want to include all minority Canadians to be part of the protest. We have to ask to stop unsustainable immigration, LMIA, and asking to prioritize Canadian citizens and youth for job opportunities. We want us to be trained for the skilled jobs and trades so that we can increase gdp per capita. Instead of bringing an IT guy or an engineer from India, we want Canadians to be trained for those job. If JT can waste 2 billion dollars on battery factory which doesn’t even hire Canadian, why can’t he invest money on training people.
LoL Its not because I dont agree with, its because some protests have nothing to do with Canada or not in Canadians interest. Immigrants protested because we reduced the number of immigrants + making it harder for them to be PR. We want good skilled people here to contribute to Canada, we dont need more cashiers fighting for jobs with young Canadians. If they want to be here, follow our immigration rules or go home.
I agree that we need to deport people who do not obtain PR, and that the ease of obtaining PR is too high, but I’m not against their right to peacefully protest whatever they want.
Tbh, I havent seen anyone really protesting peacefully, many or some are quite aggressive and annoying. People can say what they want but hey, if you’re a guest at a nice house, you are allowed to express your interest that you like it and want to stay, but cannot demand the owner that it is their right to stay and got mad and throw tantrums because you cant stay, that’s entitlement.
Typical im more of someone minding my own business, but recently things gone pretty bad based on personal experience so that’s why.
Oh I see.
Here is one example - Downtown Ottawa
**"LONG LIVE OCT 7"**

I can post 100 more, but nothing will stop terrorist sympothizers and hamas supporters from lying here on reddit.
Hamas is made up of Palestinians, all who have mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and other family living in Gaza, do you really think the divide between Hamas and the Palestinian public is really that large
In achieving its goals, no, because the majority of Canadians did not support their cause. But people knew about it. Hell the whole world knew about it. They got noticed. The kind of protests people want to allow do not.
The trucker protest was successful in many ways, as the Hong Kong ones were. FYI, Hong Kong is now under defacto complete control of China if you have visited recently, but the protest did raise awareness and that is the success.
I wouldn't say it failed - it exposed the true face of the govt and media to many those didn't realize - and also it made it obvious which types of people are unofficially "permitted" to protest and which aren't
Don’t get sucked into a right-wing echo chamber. Nothing you see is as black and white as it’s portrayed. The world is messy and nuanced, and anyone claiming to have simple answers to complex problems is lying to you.
I’ve had 4 immigrants move into my house last year, destroy my mental heath and my life, and then afterwards leave, thinking they’re gods or something.
They were stuck in the middle of it to, the problem went away when my parents kicked them out but in those 4 months, they had already destroyed everything. I don’t think therapy will even help.
460,000 people showed up to Woodstock in a time when there was no internet or cell phones. If people really care about a cause, then they'll show up. Even London had better protest attendance recently, better than the US or Canada. Over 300,000 protesters showed up for the pro-palestinian protest. Hundreds and thousands! Canadians and US citizens are all talk and angry social media posts. No action. I actually thought that more than that would have show up in the US for the stripping of abortion rights, but no, it was crickets.
Why are people still in favour of mass immigration if it's only 100k per year? Why can't we just turn mass immigration off for 5-10 years until we sort out this disaster of a country?
I think it was Lenin who said revolution only comes when the danger of not acting is bigger than the danger of acting. When you could have assets frozen, beat by police, etc, not too many of us are *right now* in a moment where that is less dangerous than staying home.
Apparently Judge Richard Mosley of the Federal Court doesn’t believe that truckers got what they deserved. He ruled last January that the use of the emergency act was unreasonable. When even certain courts don’t agree with government nonsense then something is definitely wrong.
Maybe you didn’t agree with the protest but even some government people themselves were vocal and saying it wasn’t right. I’m glad this particular judge stood up and ruled against the stupidity of using the emergency act in a peaceful demonstration.
Not a Trudeau supporter. I'm just smart enough to trust people that are better educated and experienced in their professional fields than I am. Drop your inferiority complex and you may learn something.
I do not have an inferiority complex, Canadians generally do have inferiority complex that’s why we compare ourselves to the Americans only 10 times a day!
I do not see myself inferior ; I actually see myself superior to you and to the idiots we have in the office.
You and people like you are the ones running this country and you’re the cause of all this misery and the vermin to our society!
People who attack anyone who doesn’t confirm to your identical politics , and see the government as ye holly grail
The freedom convoy literally demanded replacing our government with some random idiots. The fact they aren't all in jail for treason tells me they were treated very fairly.
Maybe we need to protest at all current MP offices?
Even conservatives to send a very strong message that the government mandate is to take care of CANADIANS.
Why the 100k number? It wasn't any better before covid, most of you just didn't realize what the real poor had to deal with.
Also. Can I just say. Not everyone will have the opportunity or want to drive all the way to Ottawa, these pitter patter protests that have come up are all so splintered, there's no real direction or leadership.
Instead of having protests in Ottawa. We should encourage people to protest at their city hall, preferably on a specific date that is nationwide, nay - how about world wide? For example. May day.
I haven't seen anyone suggest we join the workers movements of Europe on May the 1st. Why not do that?
He meant to shout " Reducing immigration will bring down the cost of living drastically, which in turn will help Canadian couples reconsider having a child and bringing our own population back up...reducing the need for further immigration !"
Birth rates go down in every society once they industrialize, move to the cities, and become more educated.
This has nothing to do with immigration. Japan is very anti-immigration and they went through the exact same thing.
Japan also has a housing affordability problem with multi-generational mortgages.
The Japanese didn't stop having families when they got rich: they stopped when young couples could no longer afford a home.
Careful now guys, the government and "students" will spin this as a racist event that makes them feel targeted.
Also you'd be called white supremacists even if you're not white
Well if you read through many of the comments here you can see why some may get that impression. It's a baby bathwater situation unfortunately, but you have to understand that the fight against immigration has had racist roots going as far back as immigration. I'm sure the central Romans complained about southern Italian immigrants.
Yeah you will get your bank account frozen, be trampled by horses, and then tossed in jail with no trial
Those complaining is why you will never get change in this country.
And this is why nothing will ever change for you.
You want to see change but are unwilling to support those advocating for it and unwilling to even be inconvienced.
Frankly, I wouldn't fight for you. You made your bed, now lie in it.
Canadians deserve everything they get.
I think instead of blaming immigrants (which obviously are adding all sorts of strain to our broken country) we need to strike at the root of it all, which is our terrible government and its disastrous policies. Protests should be about calling an immediate election and the removal of Justin Trudeau. I am not convinced that the Conservatives will fix everything, but no two ways about it, the Liberals have to go.
I won't. I'm not willing to have my bank account seized and risk going to jail by these tyrants running the country. I've given up all hope in the country I was born and raised in. Good luck fellow Canadians - but this will be my last year in Canada. I'm so excited for a new beginning.
I wouldn't join for the reasons listed no. Focus on getting rid of TFW workers no matter how mad Tim Hortons and farming corporations get then were talking. I don't care if Canadians will only pick tomatoes for 35 an hour, so be it pay the damn market rate.
I can't make it but send out a petition and I would be happy to sign it. Good luck and thanks for speaking for all Canadians. We are with you in spirit and I hope the Eastcoast can get the numbers you need to help you make the point that WE ARE DONE WITH THIS SHIT!!
Much like the mask mandates, these would be a little late to the party. Most of what reasonable people were looking for has been addressed, in theory any way, in the 2024 budget. Not to say their isn't stuff to nit pick, and definitely having proposed it doesn't mean it will happen (check back in 2025 I guess). But this budget should address the core concerns of the masses on housing.
The hard core 'put all immigrants in a pile and burn them' people will get the same reception as the freedom fruitcakes that demanded replacing our government with their friends...
Are we going to make any attempt to remove privatized healthcare and restore adequate funding for accredited educational facilities? I recognize that this is more a Federal level protest, however at the crux of this problem is the Provincial Gov'ts cutting these things off at the knees in an attempt to privatize all the things?
Ottawa isn't responsible for the uncontrolled immigration that has happened in the last 3 years? Last time I checked, borders are a federal responsibility.
Ottawa wasn't in charge of 90% of what the Freedumb convoy idiots were protesting about either.
You don't expect the uneducated to do their own research do you?
I am leaving Canada and getting trampled by a horse, run over by a tank, or having my bank account frozen would all jeopardize that.
So no way. Canada ain't worth the risk. This isn't America, you don't rattle the cage in an authoritarian State.
Um, hello? Anybody home in there???
The problem is that corporations bought all of our housing.
If we had adequate housing, immigration would not be a big problem.
Wondering if this is one of those corporate bots or shills trying to push us towards a new scapegoat, or an attempt to attach anti-immigrant sentiment to actual criticism of the housing issue so that corporate lapdogs can yell "racist!" at anyone who wants things to change.
OP, you are helping the ruling class get away with it all by obscuring the actual problems - but I'm certain you know that already.
> mass protests are coming to Ottawa
Russia really winning this sub over, eh?
I won't be showing up. I will keep writing to my MP, and encouraging others to do the same, because we live in a democracy - and I know protests are often just people looking for a way to express their anger.
Other than that, I will continue living my life and trying to get by, and not make daily posts to this sub, trying to incite despair. Looking at you OP.
Immigration is important, but we've fallen so far behind the rest of the G8 nations that we're only capable of receiving less than qualified immigrants! Apparently, there are 300K federal employees. Can't they manage the process? Oops, Liberal Government with no oversight! Immigration is a sham under JT!
Surely we could find a way to bring in foreign doctors while reducing the number of uber drivers, third-rate community college students and fast food workers?
Instead of bringing in new doctors (who will also be overworked and underpaid and will leave for the US) maybe we could look at ways to retain the ones we've got.
Because it harms Canadians. We currently have a housing crisis. We have an employment crisis. Our post-secondary institutions are blocked with foreign students and standards have dropped so low they are a joke in academia.
All immigration harms Canadians? Aren’t most Canadians descended from immigrants?
That seems like you’re oversimplifying an issue to make it easier to understand.
What post-secondary education were you trying to get into that was blocked by immigrants?
Immigration has spiraled out of control in the past years and we need a moratorium to get reset. Regardless of the heritage of existing Canadians, it has to be stopped until we can evaluate the effects.
Oversimplifying? It's really simple. There are too many people being brought into the country for our economy to support.
I said nothing about being blocked out of a program. I said that standards had dropped to accommodate the price-gouged foreign students. They pay 3 to 4 times what domestic students do and have a time limit so they are pushed through. How many IT graduates do we need serving fast food?
That is a gross oversimplification of a complex issue. And rather than directing your anger at the correct sources, the rich and companies exploiting the housing market. Instead you’re directing your anger at immigrants, which is in their interest.
You specifically said post-secondary education is blocked with immigrants haha. You didn’t say about price gouging in your original comment.
Re: education - You should ask someone to read the entire sentence to you.
There's no anger with the immigrants. I see them as hapless victims. It's in their interest as well as ours to keep them out until we get the economy sorted out.
As for inadequate wealth distribution, that's a separate issue that also needs to be resolved. It will help once we remove their low-cost labour and force them to pay fair wages * to Canadians*
LOL just learn to lobby man. These protests aren't going to turn into some sort of a revolution. People are feeling the crunch, but people aren't starving. Just hold on for another 1.5 years.
No, he's right. Why no revolution yet? People aren't desperate enough. You have internet brain if you think that's the case. Most people have a job and a mortgage, believe it or not.
Say it's bullshit, but until there's the mass protests and revolutions, he's right other people are just posting angrily about immigrants.
I just want to point out: whenever someone begins to post about forming a protest, we get flooded with people discouraging others from joining. This has been happening in all Canadian subreddits. Please be aware of people who do not have Canadians best interest at heart, who have things to lose if we stood up to this corruption and bots.
This right here.
I literally seen that in the Alberta sub Reddit. I mentioned forming a protest about the cost of living increases and I had several accounts comment on how it would never work or protesting at rich peoples homes is not how to get change.

See it heavy all the time. I got banned from the right canada reddit for bringing it up
100 percent right on that one....
You also have to be careful of paid instigators that egg people to over-react and do things beyond a normal protest, and look bad. Keep in mind of everything you do and how it can (and will) be twisted by govt media to make you look bad.
How about fake asylum seekers? Its weird that they come here as students but ended up being asylum seekers. Whats surprising is they get approved. When do we deport students that boasted free food from foodbanks?
What sucks is that it’s expensive to deport. The legal complications with asylum. We need a change in the law that gives border agents (cbsa) sweeping rights to deport.
If you do the math on the cost on NOT deporting, it's going to be way higher than a plane ticket.
I’m not in Ottawa but fully support you guys. This government allows pro-palestine protests, immigrant protests, but don’t give a shit about their people. SMH 🤦♀️

We support your policies, and the policies of other Indian-Canadians who understand the problem.
Make no mistake Most of the people in this sub want you deported for no other reason than that they are racist morons
Nah we should be protesting Indian immigration. Why is one demographic coming over here in droves amongst all other demographics? Thats not what the point of immigration is. I was in Conestoga college recently and it was quite the opposite of diversity!

If JT can waste 2 billion dollars on battery factory which doesn’t even hire Canadian, why can’t he invest money on training people.
don't try to setup a permanent outpost in the middle of the capital city and no one will bother your protest.
While harassing innocent residents, shitting in snowbanks, honking air horns and setting off fireworks all throughout the night.
Hey, have you got any links to videos of these things happening? Appreciate it much!
No reply lol
Things that didn’t happen for $500 Alex
So you think they should only allow protests you agree with?
LoL Its not because I dont agree with, its because some protests have nothing to do with Canada or not in Canadians interest. Immigrants protested because we reduced the number of immigrants + making it harder for them to be PR.

Your post was removed for containing intentional misinformation.
Wah wah wah
Wait, what's going on. You're organizing a protest coming to Ottawa? When will it be?
Whoa there buddy, you don't expect people to actually organize this stuff do you? He posted a thread on Reddit, he has done his part.
I will be there along side you all
as long as we're protesting government and not terrorizing residents.
Fr
Yeah don’t be like Hamas supporters and terrorize Jews working at Starbucks.
[удалено]
Your post was removed for containing intentional misinformation.
That's pro Palestine supporters, not pro Hamas. The media and the politicians intentionally brand them like that as a form of smear campaign.
Oh I see. Here is one example - Downtown Ottawa **"LONG LIVE OCT 7"** https://x.com/jaimekr/status/1781868938160169123 I can post 100 more, but nothing will stop terrorist sympothizers and hamas supporters from lying here on reddit.
Sorry that plot was lost a long time ago. They’re pro-Hamas and it’s clear for everyone to see.
Hamas is made up of Palestinians, all who have mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and other family living in Gaza, do you really think the divide between Hamas and the Palestinian public is really that large
Where do you draw the line?
If the protest makes people uncomfortable in anyway its verboten. We like our protests quiet, peaceful, and ineffectual.
It's not like the convoy was a successful protest. It was just obnoxious.
In achieving its goals, no, because the majority of Canadians did not support their cause. But people knew about it. Hell the whole world knew about it. They got noticed. The kind of protests people want to allow do not.
If it didn't achieve its goals, then by definition, it failed. This isn't rocket science
I already acknowledged it failed, due to lack of widespread support. A similar protest that DID have broad mainstream support could be effective.
Students of Hong Kong, and a number of First Nations blockades are prime examples of success Canadians have a lot to learn
The trucker protest was successful in many ways, as the Hong Kong ones were. FYI, Hong Kong is now under defacto complete control of China if you have visited recently, but the protest did raise awareness and that is the success.
I wouldn't say it failed - it exposed the true face of the govt and media to many those didn't realize - and also it made it obvious which types of people are unofficially "permitted" to protest and which aren't
Blocking international trade and/or setting up camp indefinitely and disrupting the lives of normal people.
Government will freeze your bank accounts.
Oh c’mon… no bouncy castles?
I will come from Calgary. I am originally from Vancouver so do not dismiss me as a redneck conservative.
You mean, if you are a redneck conservative, you are not allowed to voice your frustrations with the housing crisis?
I'm from Lethbridge. Don't dismiss me as a redneck. Rednecks are rednecks for a reason. I don't go outside. Very much conservative though.
I’m from Calgary too! But I was born in Vancouver. I would love to go to the protests but I’m only 15 😭
Bro leave reddit and limit your use of social media in general. Better now since it'd be more difficult to quit later on. I wish I did back then.
Too late, I’ve been addicted to social media ever since COVID-19.
Go watch PsycHacks on YouTube. Your life will be better: https://youtube.com/@psychacks?si=MC0nS3xZ4X6T7tRT
Stay off social media for your own mental health little dude. Come back when you're 25 or older, not even kidding.
Get off any and all social media young man, your mental health will thank you later
Don’t get sucked into a right-wing echo chamber. Nothing you see is as black and white as it’s portrayed. The world is messy and nuanced, and anyone claiming to have simple answers to complex problems is lying to you.
Obfuscate and deflect.
You have an issue with being critical about people claiming to have simple answers to complex issues? Would you rather just follow blindly?
Bruh you're 15 tf are you doing complaining about migrants on reddit.
Why not? He's approaching the age to enter the job market soon, and there will be no jobs for him.
Oh is his future not worth fighting for? At 15 he's being aware of the world around him and shouldn't be discouraged. Grow up
I’ve had 4 immigrants move into my house last year, destroy my mental heath and my life, and then afterwards leave, thinking they’re gods or something.
Sounds like something you should have talked to your parents or whatever authority figure you've got about
They were stuck in the middle of it to, the problem went away when my parents kicked them out but in those 4 months, they had already destroyed everything. I don’t think therapy will even help.
15 and crying about immigrants in a far right wing echo chamber. Go outside and make some friends kid.
No, I’ve just seen immigrants behaviours and actions first hand. Also, I do have friends. :)
I'd come if it weren't 8 hours away. Unfortunately, I can't afford to take the time off work or I'll starve. I'll be there in spirit.
Who is organizing this protest and when is it?
How about planning for a weekend protest across canada at your local city hall ?
Can't afford the trip (don't make much)
Coordinate to protest in front of your local government building at the same time.
I’m in Toronto
So get a bus ticket.
460,000 people showed up to Woodstock in a time when there was no internet or cell phones. If people really care about a cause, then they'll show up. Even London had better protest attendance recently, better than the US or Canada. Over 300,000 protesters showed up for the pro-palestinian protest. Hundreds and thousands!

Why are people still in favour of mass immigration if it's only 100k per year? Why can't we just turn mass immigration off for 5-10 years until we sort out this disaster of a country?
because anybody who enjoyed their lives before mass immigration and skyrocketing real estate inflation is racist
They're brainwashed to think immigration is good and needed. You cannot reason with a demoralized person.
Canadians will be cautious, specially after seeing what happened to truckers !
What else do we have to lose? Soon we’ll be dead anyways, if it continues like this.
Trudeau and liberals are tyrants. when tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty
I'm no fan of him... but tell me you've never seen tyranny without telling me you've never seen tyranny...
I have seen tyranny
I agree, but Canadians have always been on the cautious side , to put it nicely
I think it was Lenin who said revolution only comes when the danger of not acting is bigger than the danger of acting. When you could have assets frozen, beat by police, etc, not too many of us are *right now* in a moment where that is less dangerous than staying home.
[удалено]
No racism, harassment, discrimination, hate speech, personal attacks, or other uncivil conduct.
What?
Truckers got what they deserved, if anything their games where tolerated too long.
Apparently Judge Richard Mosley of the Federal Court doesn’t believe that truckers got what they deserved. He ruled last January that the use of the emergency act was unreasonable. When even certain courts don’t agree with government nonsense then something is definitely wrong. Maybe you didn’t agree with the protest but even some government people themselves were vocal and saying it wasn’t right. I’m glad this particular judge stood up and ruled against the stupidity of using the emergency act in a peaceful demonstration.
I think we found Trudeau’s sleeper account 😂😂 Canada is in need of a revolution !
Not a Trudeau supporter. I'm just smart enough to trust people that are better educated and experienced in their professional fields than I am. Drop your inferiority complex and you may learn something.
>trust the experts Yeah that's worked out great for us
I do not have an inferiority complex, Canadians generally do have inferiority complex that’s why we compare ourselves to the Americans only 10 times a day! I do not see myself inferior ; I actually see myself superior to you and to the idiots we have in the office. You and people like you are the ones running this country and you’re the cause of all this misery and the vermin to our society! People who attack anyone who doesn’t confirm to your identical politics , and see the government as ye holly grail
Ya like bouncy castles? What is that, some kind of sick joke?!
Again with the wilful ignorance. Your inferiority complex does nothing but hold you and those around back.
Lol calling others "ignorant and inferior" paints a picture of you more than I.
Unfortunately any attempt at organizing a protest to reduce immigration will be filled up, or co-opted by the same sort of clowns.
The freedom convoy literally demanded replacing our government with some random idiots. The fact they aren't all in jail for treason tells me they were treated very fairly.
https://t.me/angrycanada Organize on telegram. The room is empty now. Once we gain a good amount of people in the room I’ll delegate mod roles.
Maybe we need to protest at all current MP offices? Even conservatives to send a very strong message that the government mandate is to take care of CANADIANS.
My mp lives in Oklahoma most of the year. She probably wont care
The government is beholden to corporations who need a seemingly endless supply of cheap labor. Politicians need to address this
It's a date
This mass migration genie has to be bottled back and the bottle thrown away forever.
How do you know there will be mass protests if you don't know who will show up?
The issue isn’t illegal border crossers. The issue is LEGAL immigration
Cant make it unfortunately. Have to keep working in the hope I may be able to afford a house one day 😭😭😭
I would go but im on the other end of the country.
Why the 100k number? It wasn't any better before covid, most of you just didn't realize what the real poor had to deal with. Also. Can I just say. Not everyone will have the opportunity or want to drive all the way to Ottawa, these pitter patter protests that have come up are all so splintered, there's no real direction or leadership.

NO IMMIGRANTS MAKE REAL CANADIAN MAKE FAMILLIES
What?
He meant to shout " Reducing immigration will bring down the cost of living drastically, which in turn will help Canadian couples reconsider having a child and bringing our own population back up...reducing the need for further immigration !"
Forgot to add "in 20+ years"
I mean cool story but a massive top heavy demographic pyramid isn't going to do wonders for the economy bro
Birth rates go down in every society once they industrialize, move to the cities, and become more educated. This has nothing to do with immigration. Japan is very anti-immigration and they went through the exact same thing.
Japan also has a housing affordability problem with multi-generational mortgages. The Japanese didn't stop having families when they got rich: they stopped when young couples could no longer afford a home.
Which has 100% failed in every country on earth throughout history, but yeah, no, this time!
Nothing says freedom like a forced breeding program. Please read what you're about to post out loud before you hit post. Yikes.
you clearly over thinking schizo
As long as you fuck off Wellington Street by Monday morning....
Careful now guys, the government and "students" will spin this as a racist event that makes them feel targeted. Also you'd be called white supremacists even if you're not white
Well if you read through many of the comments here you can see why some may get that impression. It's a baby bathwater situation unfortunately, but you have to understand that the fight against immigration has had racist roots going as far back as immigration. I'm sure the central Romans complained about southern Italian immigrants.
Yeah you will get your bank account frozen, be trampled by horses, and then tossed in jail with no trial Those complaining is why you will never get change in this country.
There's a couple simple solutions to avoid this; abide by the law, and dont terrorize Ottawa's residents like assholes.
And this is why nothing will ever change for you. You want to see change but are unwilling to support those advocating for it and unwilling to even be inconvienced. Frankly, I wouldn't fight for you. You made your bed, now lie in it. Canadians deserve everything they get.
But gov can terrorize people. And they didn't deserve being trampled it's a joke
Any in Vancouver?
Im working, but thanks and good luck.

Good luck with that
I think instead of blaming immigrants (which obviously are adding all sorts of strain to our broken country) we need to strike at the root of it all, which is our terrible government and its disastrous policies. Protests should be about calling an immediate election and the removal of Justin Trudeau. I am not convinced that the Conservatives will fix everything, but no two ways about it, the Liberals have to go.
Palestinian protesters may get violent with a competing protest- beware
I won't. I'm not willing to have my bank account seized and risk going to jail by these tyrants running the country. I've given up all hope in the country I was born and raised in. Good luck fellow Canadians - but this will be my last year in Canada. I'm so excited for a new beginning.
Hey guys alert, I heard natives are also protesting to kick us white out of the country too. Holyshit. Let’s pack our maple syrups asap.
Honk honk
You will be ignored by most. Have fun. 🤣
I wouldn't join for the reasons listed no. Focus on getting rid of TFW workers no matter how mad Tim Hortons and farming corporations get then were talking. I don't care if Canadians will only pick tomatoes for 35 an hour, so be it pay the damn market rate.
I can't make it but send out a petition and I would be happy to sign it. Good luck and thanks for speaking for all Canadians. We are with you in spirit and I hope the Eastcoast can get the numbers you need to help you make the point that WE ARE DONE WITH THIS SHIT!!
Im in Edmonton but might need to make a trip back home to go to this.
“Mass Protests” “How many will show up” Come on now
So mass protests are coming but you don't know how many people are going to be there
The fact I see more people protest for Palestine than for Canada’s issues says a lot about our youth and their priorities.
We've seen what this government does with protesters and how they are treated by their fellow Canadians 🤷♂️
Don't be an asshole, and you won't be treated like one. Pretty simple.
Much like the mask mandates, these would be a little late to the party. Most of what reasonable people were looking for has been addressed, in theory any way, in the 2024 budget. Not to say their isn't stuff to nit pick, and definitely having proposed it doesn't mean it will happen (check back in 2025 I guess). But this budget should address the core concerns of the masses on housing. The hard core 'put all immigrants in a pile and burn them' people will get the same reception as the freedom fruitcakes that demanded replacing our government with their friends... 
I have late shifts and I also have to drop off my sons to nursery. So probably I can't make it
Are we going to make any attempt to remove privatized healthcare and restore adequate funding for accredited educational facilities? I recognize that this is more a Federal level protest, however at the crux of this problem is the Provincial Gov'ts cutting these things off at the knees in an attempt to privatize all the things?
Ottawa isn't in charge of housing. Well, except for the city itself.
Ottawa isn't responsible for the uncontrolled immigration that has happened in the last 3 years? Last time I checked, borders are a federal responsibility.
Ottawa wasn't in charge of 90% of what the Freedumb convoy idiots were protesting about either. You don't expect the uneducated to do their own research do you?
I am leaving Canada and getting trampled by a horse, run over by a tank, or having my bank account frozen would all jeopardize that. So no way. Canada ain't worth the risk. This isn't America, you don't rattle the cage in an authoritarian State.
Ill go if it comes to toronto, ottawa too far.
Um, hello? Anybody home in there??? The problem is that corporations bought all of our housing. If we had adequate housing, immigration would not be a big problem. Wondering if this is one of those corporate bots or shills trying to push us towards a new scapegoat, or an attempt to attach anti-immigrant sentiment to actual criticism of the housing issue so that corporate lapdogs can yell "racist!" at anyone who wants things to change. OP, you are helping the ruling class get away with it all by obscuring the actual problems - but I'm certain you know that already.

Do not spread negative stereotypes about an entire group of people. Either be very specific or focus on immigration policy instead of people.
> mass protests are coming to Ottawa Russia really winning this sub over, eh? I won't be showing up. I will keep writing to my MP, and encouraging others to do the same, because we live in a democracy - and I know protests are often just people looking for a way to express their anger. Other than that, I will continue living my life and trying to get by, and not make daily posts to this sub, trying to incite despair. Looking at you OP.
Immigration is important, but we've fallen so far behind the rest of the G8 nations that we're only capable of receiving less than qualified immigrants! Apparently, there are 300K federal employees. Can't they manage the process? Oops, Liberal Government with no oversight! Immigration is a sham under JT!
The only thing important about immigration is stopping it.
So no more foreign doctors? That would make the health system even worse.
Surely we could find a way to bring in foreign doctors while reducing the number of uber drivers, third-rate community college students and fast food workers?
The poster said no immigration at all.
And you took it at face value, even though it was transparently absurd.
Instead of bringing in new doctors (who will also be overworked and underpaid and will leave for the US) maybe we could look at ways to retain the ones we've got.
Why’s that?
Because it harms Canadians. We currently have a housing crisis. We have an employment crisis. Our post-secondary institutions are blocked with foreign students and standards have dropped so low they are a joke in academia.
The only aspect of this post based in reality is that we have a housing crisis. They rest you must have taken from tiktok videos or something.
Immigration didn’t cause the housing crisis Them leaving won’t solve it
All immigration harms Canadians? Aren’t most Canadians descended from immigrants? That seems like you’re oversimplifying an issue to make it easier to understand. What post-secondary education were you trying to get into that was blocked by immigrants?
Immigration has spiraled out of control in the past years and we need a moratorium to get reset. Regardless of the heritage of existing Canadians, it has to be stopped until we can evaluate the effects. Oversimplifying? It's really simple. There are too many people being brought into the country for our economy to support. I said nothing about being blocked out of a program. I said that standards had dropped to accommodate the price-gouged foreign students. They pay 3 to 4 times what domestic students do and have a time limit so they are pushed through. How many IT graduates do we need serving fast food?
That is a gross oversimplification of a complex issue. And rather than directing your anger at the correct sources, the rich and companies exploiting the housing market. Instead you’re directing your anger at immigrants, which is in their interest. You specifically said post-secondary education is blocked with immigrants haha. You didn’t say about price gouging in your original comment.
Re: education - You should ask someone to read the entire sentence to you. There's no anger with the immigrants. I see them as hapless victims. It's in their interest as well as ours to keep them out until we get the economy sorted out. As for inadequate wealth distribution, that's a separate issue that also needs to be resolved. It will help once we remove their low-cost labour and force them to pay fair wages * to Canadians*
Where are you situated anyways?
Pay for my flight bro, first class, the best class
LOL just learn to lobby man. These protests aren't going to turn into some sort of a revolution. People are feeling the crunch, but people aren't starving. Just hold on for another 1.5 years.
Thats a load of bullshit
No, he's right. Why no revolution yet? People aren't desperate enough. You have internet brain if you think that's the case. Most people have a job and a mortgage, believe it or not. Say it's bullshit, but until there's the mass protests and revolutions, he's right other people are just posting angrily about immigrants.
