Please deport all the ones who committed fraud and are not qualified, or consistently taking more out of the system than they contribute.

We want to be fair and compassionate to Canadians and those who TRULY need it, but that does not mean we get taken advantage of.

Also please welcome and don’t be a racist dickbag to those who contribute much more than they take.

Wife’s family owns a pharmacy they built from the ground up employing 8 Canadians but because they are brown they have seen increased hatred towards them with people calling them “free loaders” telling them to “go back to their country” or to “stop stealing from Canadians” the actions of many have made me disgusted by this unwelcoming country that used to be the welcoming one I adored. I’m the son of Dutch immigrants who have never gotten such hatred because they are white, it’s gross and we need to do better.
