00:07:48.820like and so this is the complaint right is that a lot of people who are born here you know uh they
00:07:54.820they've got teenage kids they can they say they can't get jobs right uh and they they point their
00:07:59.460fingers at the immigrants right and they um you know there's well anything traffic you know health
00:08:06.020care wait time whatever everything is getting housing prices everything is sort of getting
00:08:10.340pointed that way now of course that there's been some severe restrictions on immigration
00:08:16.180you know all of a sudden it's like oh we have a labor shortage you know and then you see the
00:08:20.340prime minister saying well here's a couple billion dollars let's train 15 year olds onwards to for
00:08:24.740the trades well what's that saying we have a labor shortage so you know you you cut down on the
00:08:30.660immigration and then all of a sudden it's like oh we really need immigration again we need labor
00:08:34.740um just while people are canadians are getting educated and learning how to do these trades etc
00:08:39.940so yeah i mean it's it's always in the news it's a political hotbed issue um but my point was that
00:08:46.180simply that you know it there has been a major titan right i mean there's no question about it
00:08:51.780we've gotten rid of all the horrible public private partnership community colleges which i
00:08:56.980load and um you know you had immigration consultants in india and all around the world
00:09:04.020and some here are kind of luring people to canada saying oh you're gonna have a guaranteed pathway
00:09:07.940to permanent residents meanwhile you have these poor kids from india primarily killing themselves
00:09:12.820because their parents have you know basically spent all their money borrowed money they've
00:09:19.060taken whatever property they have they've mortgaged it at rates that were outrageous and almost
00:09:24.340unmanageable uh it seems and i think that we'll see more investigation and more reporting on that
00:09:31.220i hope uh in the form of document you know documentaries or podcasts like this because
00:09:36.180you're right these kids cannot go home they took every dime that the family would have they were
00:09:42.180they were the great hope and so and i think the canadians are now becoming aware of that when you
00:09:47.300talk about yeah our kids can't get jobs at tim hortons because minimum wage is a full-time0.99
00:09:53.060earning for an immigrant waiting to get status in a in a country where they they just took a useless1.00
00:10:00.260college course so i think the canadians by and large not immigrants or new immigrants over the
00:10:06.900last 10 15 years recognize this it's it's a point where many canadians feel like yes these people
00:10:13.780were taken advantage of and now here they are um and then you hear birthright citizenship
00:10:20.100is expanding in this way uh and it is a little frightening and i do think many of us actually
00:10:24.660ravi you raise a good point right away i was like well how many years are we going back on this i
00:10:28.980I mean, we can't go back to the beginning of time, but hearing that this might be a reasonable way to entice, you know, a more solid or understandable or better applied version of immigration to citizens out there who have a connection to Canada, that might be advantageous.
00:10:50.420is it i basically think it's neutral honestly because you know the people i speak to
00:10:58.100they're either upset because of the political dynamic some are very very political they think
00:11:04.740it's everything's going down the drain civil rights are going down the drain it's a fascist
00:11:10.580you know country now and they're basically you know they're democrats are left-leaning or whatever
00:11:15.940they are and they just they just they've had it they wanted them and you know i obviously i'm
00:11:20.420listening to what they're saying and i'm sympathetic you know they think they see canada
00:11:25.540as a very different place so um so many of them will get it and by the way i got i got calls when
00:11:32.900obama was about to come in too right so you got people ironically wanting to come to canada maybe
00:11:38.660they wanted to go to the west and i don't know but they were they were thinking canada was their big
00:11:43.620answer to you know Obama in power right so it's kind of ironic but anyway so you get it you get
00:11:48.980it every election cycle and and now we're seeing it between election cycles but we're seeing it
00:11:54.340um with people becoming aware that they can become Canadian so there's political reasons
00:11:58.820sometimes it's different sometimes it's people in the trans community uh parents you know who've got
00:12:05.060a trans uh gendered child um you know adult adults are getting medications but there's restrictions
00:12:11.700on children of course there's concerns that parents or health care providers will be criminalized
00:12:16.020etc so so there's real palpable fear that i that i hear and i feel when i talk to these people
00:12:22.660and um they want to get it if they are eligible uh because they want to be able to flee on a moment's0.91
00:12:28.980notice uh so you get those types you get some people in the jewish community um you know who
00:12:34.180are just wanting to have a second passport right because historically they just felt
00:12:39.060obviously this you know this sense of i need if i need to go somewhere i want to have an ability to
00:12:44.340go and say here's my documentation i don't want to have to rely on someone you know so there's a
00:12:48.820historical dynamic to that so so you get all kinds of different reasons but i mean you know
00:12:55.220there are a few people trans families who have like who've come but but not as many uh and and
00:13:01.460the vast majority of people i'm helping are going to have it and it's going to sit in the shelf like0.77
