25 years ago my buddy use to joke about launching a canoe at Humber Bay, tossing his ID overboard, paddling up to Queens Quay, and claiming refugee status (he was a bicycle mechanic at the time). Little did he know how prophetic he would become.
Good way to suppress wages when you have 900k students coming in that are willing and happy to do minimum wage jobs.
... that illegally dump their crap on city/private land in Brampton.Where else are we going to get our awesome dump truck drivers.
I see it all the time. One of the managers I’m aware of only hires new Indian arrivals because anyone with experience here won’t take his $hit that he does. Abusive, threatening, and a real POS to his staff.Funny you mention that. Many Indian managers/franchisees (think McDonalds/Wal-Mart/Timmies/etc.) love to hire international students from India because they can exploit them. Also no need to speak English when you can speak to your employees exclusively in Hindi.
And then they bring this kinda crap here too: ‘I came here to escape’: Toronto tackles caste-based discrimination in schools
People live what they learn. Many try to escape the corruption, poverty, filth of their home nation, only to do the exact same here.... that illegally dump their crap on city/private land in Brampton.
There's an access area just north of the 407 on the East side of Goreway. It looks like it goes into the hydro fields. They're always dumping dirt in their. Someone cleaned up some of it a couple of weeks ago and it's back full of mounds.
Unbelievable the lack of respect for others property/personal space/red lights/stop signs/lane markers/etc etc. in this town. I can't wait for the day I'm outta there!!
EXACTLY! Do we need proper training when they arrive here then? Like these are the customs here: ____, These are things you don't do here: ____, Etc:People live what they learn. Many try to escape the corruption, poverty, filth of their home nation, only to do the exact same here.
filth is everywhereEXACTLY! Do we need proper training when they arrive here then? Like these are the customs here: ____, These are things you don't do here: ____, Etc:
My parents were immigrants from western Europe ... heck, even I am too but I came here as a baby. We never did that Sh!t. We were grateful for the opportunity and respected others.
The problem is all of the "good" countries have already immigrated here and we're slowly going down the list towards the putrid 2nd & 3rd world bottom.
This is the problem I’m finding, if you don’t listen or agree with someone all of a sudden they pull the racist card.Back to the latest topic, Nothing like having one of the new kids at work talk to you with the tone they'd use with one of their parents' servants.......then getting the racist card played after you straighten them out on talking down to co-workers.
The level of bureaucracy and administration is insane at the universities, and yes...that's where the majority of the money goes.I saw somewhere where they looked at the rising cost over the years in the U.S. at a big university, and they found that a large chunk of it was a massive increase in the number and salaries of administrators.
Hoodoo levee f lol in addition to the 600k other migrants. Housing prices will never be affordableWTF!? We can barely keep up with the demands on housings and jobs and we are importing 900,000 students this year alone!?
I mean effing hell, is everyone scared to call this $hit out because they’ll be classified as a racist?
‘Students’ signing up for run of the mill diploma ‘colleges’ so they can bypass the system and strain our quickly draining resources.
Shut it down. Let’s get our house in order first.
This is now 900,000 people to feed, house, and protect. Not to mention some of these students are running to the food bank for free food. Those should be found, visas revoked, and lifetime ban on coming to Canada.

And yet BoC keeps cranking and cranking the interest rates.And the builders are slowing down construction due to interest rates and material cost increases.
Canada's slowing home building is bad news for buyers and Trudeau
Canada's residential construction activity has slowed in recent months due to a tight labor market and higher borrowing costs, a factor that could thwart government plans to reduce a housing shortfall and add to the recovery in home prices.www.reuters.com
Builders are somewhat protected in the short term by sales that occurred at the peak but have not yet closed. Builder would be an idiot to break those contracts. Get those done and they are money in the bank. Either it closes or falls apart and you sue for the differential from current sale price and win. As many were investments or step up properties, the buyers have some equity you can go after. Now, new sales and starting new builds could see a real slowdown as costs are still sky high but market prices are way down.And the builders are slowing down construction due to interest rates and material cost increases.

You are underestimating the amount of corruption and fake documents that go on from one country in particular. My friend told me he just met a guy the other day new at his temple, came here looking for a one month "tourist" visa, border gave him 3 months with no questions asked. Now going to hire a shady lawyer to convert it into a working visa and stay for good. 50k is reported price and will make payments to lawyer until it's paid off. Many getting really rich off of this. Cash, no taxes paid of course.Allowing students to go to school here is not the same thing as granting them immigration status - once their visas run out they'll still have to jump through the hoops in order to stay. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, it is however a great way for the parents to buy said student a condo to live in and launder some offshore currency at the same time. Once junior is done, they can sell it, rent it, or just let it sit empty as property values increase.
The amount of money that a major school like U of T writes off every year as accounting errors will absolutely blow your mind.The level of bureaucracy and administration is insane at the universities, and yes...that's where the majority of the money goes.
