00:00:00.000 how big of a problem is mass immigration in canada the majority of canadians seem to think
00:00:11.360 that it's a serious issue and for good reason another public opinion poll was released this
00:00:15.920 week showing that a majority in this country think 500 000 immigrants a year is too high
00:00:20.960 and it will negatively impact affordability obviously in response to this public outcry
00:00:26.000 and rebuke of one of their core liberal policies that being mass immigration the new immigration
00:00:31.040 minister mark miller recommitted canada in a recent interview to maintaining their exorbitantly high
00:00:37.280 level of 500 000 immigrants per year and if canadians are so lucky mark miller might even
00:00:43.280 raise that target number even higher because you know 500 000 immigrants is just too low for the 1.00
00:00:48.960 people in charge despite canadians making it clear that they are done with mass immigration that they
00:00:53.680 are saying no mass to more people from the third world and that everywhere you look in this country 1.00
00:00:58.240 the immigration policies have failed the people in charge seem to be moving in the complete opposite
00:01:03.680 direction after all the political class in canada don't have to worry about the same issues all of us
00:01:08.640 do they don't have to worry about affording a home or putting food on the table or affording gas what
00:01:13.760 they care about more than anything else in the world is votes and no matter what side of the house
00:01:18.880 of commons you sit on or whether you wear a red tie or a blue tie more people means more votes and the
00:01:25.040 rest of us just have to live with the consequences in fact things are so bad now that the province of
00:01:29.680 nova scotia has now resorted to asking residents to renting out spare rooms in their homes to people who
00:01:35.600 can't afford rent and in toronto olivia chow is now asking torontonians to open up spare rooms in their
00:01:42.240 homes to put up asylum seekers drop a like in the video help us out by subscribing to the true north
00:01:47.440 youtube channel and the common question for the episode is this why are our leaders committing
00:01:52.720 to mass immigration when canadians are struggling like never before let me know in the comments and
00:01:58.800 let's get into it take a look at this nanos poll released this week 68 of respondents to the poll
00:02:05.200 think immigration levels are too high and will negatively impact housing affordability and supply 1.00
00:02:11.600 in other news water is wet i say this because the findings are not only obvious if you increase the
00:02:16.880 number of people in a housing shortage competition to find a house will also increase but i say this
00:02:22.080 also because it's just yet another opinion poll that follows the same trend we've been seeing for
00:02:26.960 years the same results were found last year when 75 of respondents said the same thing in a lege
00:02:34.240 poll that increasing immigration to this extremely high level will have drastic impacts on housing 0.97
00:02:39.840 affordability and services but despite the now routine series of public polling which continues to tell the
00:02:45.760 same story the federal government under justin trudeau and new immigration minister mark miller have
00:02:51.440 recommitted to maintaining the 500 000 immigrants a year target speaking to bloomberg journalists last
00:02:58.240 week this is what mark miller had to say about canada's plan for immigration the current record busting
00:03:03.600 level of immigration may suggest that newly minted immigration minister mark miller may as he has already
00:03:09.600 suggested to bloomberg news further increase canada's immigration targets i don't see a world in which we
00:03:16.320 lower it the need is too great whether we revise them upwards or not is something that i have to look at
00:03:22.080 but certainly i don't think we're in any position of wanting to lower them by any stretch of the imagination
00:03:28.080 we're not in any position to lower them the need is too great says mark miller despite the fact that
00:03:33.760 canadians want immigration levels lowered the government is going full steam ahead and when
00:03:39.200 miller says that the need is too great is he referencing that labor shortage the media keeps
00:03:44.320 telling us all about going by the legacy media headlines that labor shortage really seems bad
00:03:49.280 despite the fact that nobody around us seems to be able to find a job these days seriously if you
00:03:54.320 know someone looking for a somewhat skilled job these days they are guaranteed to tell you the exact same
00:03:59.600 thing that might be because this so-called labor shortage we keep hearing about isn't being
00:04:03.840 reflected in canada's unemployment numbers the unemployment rate in canada rose again last month
00:04:09.600 the third month in a row despite the fact that canada continues to bring in record numbers of people
00:04:15.840 and in this current housing crisis we're in canada lost 45 000 construction jobs i thought immigration
00:04:23.120 was supposed to solve this problem turns out maybe it's having the opposite effect a food bank
00:04:29.040 in scarborough a suburb just outside of toronto reported last week that 92 percent of people that
00:04:34.560 rely on the scarborough food bank system are not born in canada and that 72 percent of the people
00:04:40.800 relying on that food bank have been in canada for a year or less meanwhile canada continues to bring in
00:04:47.280 a seriously high number of international students to study at our colleges and universities who pay
00:04:52.400 extremely high tuition fees and end up like this poor man living under a toronto bridge while studying
00:04:58.320 at conestoga and even worse canadian-born students studying at our universities and colleges have
00:05:05.040 to resort to living in homeless shelters because they can't afford rent to solve the housing shortage
00:05:10.480 in nova scotia the province is spending over a million dollars to form a partnership with a company
00:05:16.400 called happy pad where homeowners can connect with people looking for month-to-month low rental bedroom
00:05:24.000 options not at all something that we should be having to resort to in this country so that canadians
00:05:29.520 can get a house but these are the times we're living in and in canada's most populated city toronto where
00:05:35.280 refugees and asylum seekers continue to flood to despite the fact that there is simply no place to 0.99
00:05:40.960 put them the socialist mayor olivia chow is now asking residents to house asylum seekers in their spare
00:05:47.680 bedrooms for low-cost rental options when asked by true north's sue ann levy if olivia chow or any
00:05:54.240 other toronto city councillors would take the lead in opening up one of their spare bedrooms to house
00:05:58.880 these asylum seekers no answer was given which is not surprising given that like i said in the intro
00:06:03.760 the housing crisis the food crisis all of these other problems really created by the people in charge
00:06:09.920 aren't felt by the people in charge but they do expect all of us to step up and help solve the
00:06:14.720 problems they are creating toronto's shelter system according to olivia chow is already full and two
00:06:20.240 thirds of shelter occupants are refugees and asylum seekers now that doesn't stop the federal government
00:06:25.600 from opening up the floodgates and letting them in i spoke to one of those asylum seekers living out on 1.00
00:06:30.160 the street a few weeks ago and he told me that he had a better life in nigeria the country he supposedly
00:06:35.120 fled from that had he known this was how bad canada really is he would have stayed home in africa now
00:06:41.280 when's the last time you heard an asylum seeker from africa say that when you before you came to
00:06:46.640 canada did you know that this was going to be what was going to happen when you landed here no this
00:06:50.960 is not what i expected and what did you expect if you don't mind me asking my expectation is like when
00:06:58.560 i came to canada uh i came to work and leave and i was wishing that they can you know provide
00:07:07.040 the shelter and give me some paper so i can you know to be like others do you think people need to
00:07:14.800 be need to be told the truth before they come to canada what they're really waiting for yeah you have
00:07:19.120 to let us know because we can't leave all the way from africa right we spend a lot of money to get a
00:07:24.560 visit now we get down here we start sleeping down the street that's not that you it's not
00:07:30.320 it's not perfect and quite last question i appreciate your time last question if you knew
00:07:35.520 that this was gonna be what was waiting for you here in toronto would you have come or would you
00:07:39.760 not have come but if you happen to be one of the 500 000 immigrants a year coming to this country
00:08:02.800 sure getting a job at a tim hortons won't seem to be an issue just go to your local teams you know
00:08:07.600 exactly what i'm talking about but if you want to better your life in this supposed land of
00:08:11.840 opportunity here in canada and want a job that requires more skill than pouring someone else's
00:08:16.640 coffee and cooking up a farmer's wrap you might find yourself waiting in one of these snaking lines
00:08:22.080 outside of a grocery store for a job fair or maybe if you want to get a job as a security guard how
00:08:28.080 about you wait in this long snaking line for another security guard job fair where you'll have to
00:08:34.080 compete with everyone else looking to get that job like i've said on this show many times now the
00:08:39.280 people in charge just don't have to face these issues for justin trudeau the answer actually
00:08:44.720 appears to be that to solve these problems you have to increase immigration levels try to wrap your
00:08:50.160 head around this logic remember when he said this exact thing to a room full of trades people a few
00:08:55.200 months ago there are a lot of pressures on our system increasing the immigration levels interestingly 1.00
00:09:02.000 will take some of the pressure off of the system uh because the stream on bringing in permanent
00:09:08.240 residents uh is has got room to bring in more and it's when people come as refugees and try to flip 1.00
00:09:14.480 or get refugee crisis that status that it sort of slows down the system a little bit so increasing the
00:09:21.040 levels will actually help bring in more people to respond to that and for conservatives in this country
00:09:26.400 either they are secretly in support of mass immigration or more likely they're too afraid
00:09:32.080 to say what the majority of canadians really think about the issue here's ontario premier doug ford
00:09:37.360 yesterday while battling yet another scandal involving land developers saying that ontario is
00:09:42.480 the fastest growing region in north america growing faster than texas and florida and that the province
00:09:48.960 just can't keep up with housing demand given the number of people coming into this country but notice 1.00
00:09:54.240 that at no point in the following clip will you hear doug ford say maybe we should just lower the
00:09:59.760 number of people coming into this country to help canadians first that doesn't make the cut but he
00:10:05.200 will talk about how the province just can't keep up ontario is experiencing unprecedented growth
00:10:12.640 last year alone ontario grew by more than 500 000 people put that into perspective
00:10:20.080 the federal government brought in 1.1 million people into our country 600 000 people landed everywhere else
00:10:32.800 but folks guess what eventually they're going to end up in ontario that's more newcomers than both texas
00:10:42.720 and florida the fastest growing states in america we are now the fastest growing region bar none in north america
00:10:52.560 at current rates ontario will grow by more than 5 million people in the next 10 years most shocking of
00:11:01.120 all really is conservative leader pierre polyev's stance on immigration again despite the public clearly
00:11:07.840 saying that 500 000 is too many people polyev refuses to say whether or not he will lower the
00:11:14.800 immigration target as a rhetorical trick polyev says that immigration should be tied to demand not
00:11:21.040 a set number as you know canada is on track to have about 500 000 new immigrants to the country by 2025
00:11:30.720 and i'm wondering if you think this is sustainable and if a conservative government led by you would
00:11:36.960 continue that trend and would be satisfied with that 500 000 a year number justin trudeau has broken
00:11:44.320 our immigration system we see this on the streets of toronto where refugees are living on the pavement 0.75
00:11:54.720 it wasn't like this eight years ago when refugees came to canada we had them sponsored by charities
00:12:00.240 churches mosques synagogues other non-profits to give them homes help them write resumes and get them
00:12:06.480 fast work permits so they could get jobs and paychecks i want to get back to common sense immigration
00:12:12.880 the numbers should be driven by the number of employers who have job vacancies that they cannot fill
00:12:19.920 with canadians by the number of charities that want to sponsor refugees and by the families that can reunite
00:12:28.880 and support their loved ones here not by not by egotistical uh targets that are designed to give
00:12:38.000 justin trudeau a vanity project we need to get back to competent immigration by the way we need to expand
00:12:44.640 housing construction it's all well and good to think that you can increase the population by a million
00:12:51.920 people in a year but where are we going to house everybody how can you be a conservative and refuse to
00:12:57.600 commit to fighting mass immigration it really boggles the mind for politicians on all sides of this 0.95
00:13:02.320 issue the answer just seems to be to build more homes or as polyev hilariously says bring homes people
00:13:09.360 can afford and all that sounds like a great strategy it's not working we've lost 45 000 construction jobs
00:13:16.080 in canada and the idea that we're going to build more homes with fewer construction workers is obviously
00:13:20.480 outrageous we shouldn't be trying to fast-track foreign worker credentials when canadians who are fired for a
00:13:26.960 medical decision that they made are still out of work we shouldn't be bringing in more asylum seekers 1.00
00:13:32.160 and refugees who will end up in our shelters when canadian veterans are out on our streets homeless 1.00
00:13:38.000 all right ratio of the week time the winner this week is justin trudeau's chief of staff katie
00:13:43.840 telford last week telford shared an article by the guardian which had to be community noted and
00:13:50.000 fact-checked on twitter because it's just not true the out of context headline canada has zero pro-choice
00:13:56.320 conservative mps watchdog says the fact check under katie telford's tweet says this bill c 311 is a 78
00:14:05.520 word bill that does not contain the word abortion the bill is to protect a pregnant woman with
00:14:10.400 aggravating circumstance for the purpose of sentencing now this is in relation to a private
00:14:15.120 members bill by mp kathy wagenthal which is designed to strengthen minimum sentencing for people who commit
00:14:22.720 violent acts against pregnant women conservatives rightly voted in support of this bill but of
00:14:28.240 course the rest of the house of commons voted against a bill that would protect pregnant women
00:14:32.720 and the reality is that headline couldn't be further from the truth because a majority of conservatives
00:14:38.560 voted to allow sex selective abortions in this country how very conservative pierre voted for
00:14:45.360 legislation allowing sex selective abortions how are they pro-life meanwhile the liberals think men can
00:14:51.600 have babies the bill is one page long and contains zero references to abortion either you didn't read
00:14:57.680 it or you are deliberately trying to mislead people we pay you well to work for us do better couldn't
00:15:03.600 have put it better myself all right everyone that's gonna do it for us this week on the show thank you
00:15:07.680 so much for tuning in my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
