talking about it. It's very obvious to anyone with a shred of economic sense that immigration
00:00:05.020
impacts these things. And that's kind of the doorway to start talking about immigration.
00:00:09.380
But really, what I find impacts people on the kind of core level, which maybe they're a little
00:00:14.920
bit less comfortable talking about is just the cultural impacts like our society is changing,
00:00:20.120
it looks different, it feels different, the sense of community is gone. One of my best performing
00:00:25.260
tweets of all time, I didn't expect it was it was in talking shit about Tim Hortons. It was
00:00:29.760
something along the lines of tim hortons really encapsulates the decline of canada writ large
00:00:36.540
it's foreign owned shitty services run by foreigners no sense of community and i guess
00:00:43.740
lots of people related with that because uh you know tim hortons wants a pillar of uh of canadian

00:01:03.920
of incentives provided by the temporary foreign workers program. The government offsets the wages
00:01:08.680
of these people while they're not even from here. Like that sort of government policy doesn't make
00:01:13.260
any sense. And a lot of people, when I advocate for ideas like remigration, they say, well,
00:01:17.540
how are you going to pay for that? And like, literally we have the programs like the temporary
00:01:21.580
foreign workers program where the government subsidizes portions of their wages. Like we're
00:01:26.640
already wasting tons of money on immigration related programs that can be repurposed not to
00:01:31.620
mention money that's being wasted on all sorts of other silly liberal projects so we really need to
00:01:37.100
reorient our government to work for for our people not for the international citizen to be the kind
