Good luck. There’s 5 million of them. Who’s gonna do it? This is Canada. There will grow an entire industry based on helping these 5 million people game the system with the courts, appeals, ect…& each one of them could drag this shit out for years…Years! I don’t see anybody going anywhere anytime soon. If so, very few..
They arent renewing the visas. No driving jobs, no health, no bank accounts, no credit checks to get rentals, no flying, no train, no buses. Theyll just blend right in?
Five Million of them. They will create their own economy outside of the tax system in Canada. Off the grid, renting from others who just won’t declare that income from rental, etc…seriously…five million…1 in 8.
The support system you believe in just isnt there. Brown people are NOT cohesive just because theyre brown.
Offer bounties and youll see how fucking fast Hindus turn in Muzzies, Sikhs turn in Hindus and Muzzies. Muzzies turning in Sikhs and Hindus.
Or maybe they"ll all find Jesus and get baptized enmass?
1 in 8. Waaaaay higher than the US has to cope with eh?
A 12.5% jump in rental vacancies.
A 12.5% jump in job vacancies.
A 12.5% drop in healthcare costs, wait time lists, staff shortages etc
A 12.5% drop in policing and courts
And a 12.5% drop in evil carbon.
Thats any broke Govt's wet dream come true.

I’m in the trucking industry, & there’s six trucking companies in our building. I happen to be at a company with two people in the office with myself being one of them….& we both just happen to be Caucasian.
Every other employee at every other trucking company in the building happens to be from the same Asian subcontinent, & they sure seem to be pretty tight. It could be an illusion.
(there’s about 20 business in the building)
I know. I'm new to all this Indian shit. It was all whites in BC whenever Ive lived there.
I can understand & speak some French, and I can understand and speak more Spanish (though it makes the Colombian woman’s ears hurt that I work with in the same building), but after the last handful of years with these other trucking companies in the building….I don’t have a single word of whatever the hell they’re speaking. Not one.
I get along with everybody, don’t get me wrong, but I’m just saying I haven’t picked up a single word of whatever their common language is. I’ve been in and out of just about everybody’s office at some point or another, and from phone quotes, to dispatch, to general conversation conversations…none of it is in French or English…
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but I’m saying they’ve got their own economy going on that interacts with, but is separate than, what we’ve got going on.
White House aides are preparing to impose new tariffs on most imports on April 2, laying the groundwork for an escalation in global economic hostilities that President Donald Trump has called “Liberation Day”???
Through his first two months in office, the president has raised tariffs on roughly $800 billion in imports from China, Mexico and Canada, although estimates vary widely. These tariffs have sent the stock market careening and raised the risks of a U.S. recession, while inviting retaliation against domestic industries by trade partners.
Despite the blowback, senior Trump advisers are now publicly pledging to create a new tariff regime that would impose new duties on goods from most countries that trade with the United States. A person familiar with internal planning, speaking on the condition of anonymity to reflect private deliberations, confirmed administration officials are preparing tariffs on “trillions” of dollars in imports. Enjoy that America!!!
The potential to more than double the scope of Trump’s tariffs has alarmed economists and some congressional Republicans, while other White House allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new import tax regime.
The precise nature of these new duties has spurred extensive discussions at the highest levels of the administration, with Vice President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House aide Peter Navarro and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent all playing a role in the talks, some person familiar with the plans said.
“The last two months have already hurt American businesses and consumers, but the April 2 deadline seriously could make all of that look like a tempest in a teapot,” said Joseph Politano, an economic policy analyst at Apricitas Economics. “We don’t know exactly what they’re going to do, but from what they’re saying, it sounds functionally like new tariffs on all U.S. imports.”

The internal preparations suggest Trump remains unbowed in his push to upend the global trade order, despite deepening unease among allies on Capitol Hill and Wall Street and outright fury from overseas. Trump has said the tariffs are necessary to encourage companies to move production back to the U.S. and force concessions from foreign trading partners, but the fallout has rattled investors and consumers, leading to declines in several key economic indicators.
“It’s a liberation day for our country because we’re going to be getting back a lot of the wealth by taxing Americans up the wazoo with import tariffs that we so foolishly gave up to other countries, including friend and foe,” Trump told reporters on Monday.
Trump has dubbed the next stage of his trade war “reciprocal tariffs.” The president first embraced the idea during his 2024 presidential campaign, arguing that other countries impose far higher trade barriers on U.S. exports than the U.S. government charges on imports. Trump has said the U.S. should match these tariffs with “reciprocal” duties that he believes will force other countries to lower their duties on U.S.-made products.
“If India, China, or any other country hits us with a 100 or 200 percent tariff on American-made goods, we will hit them with the same exact tariff,” Trump said in a video released during the presidential campaign. “In other words, 100 percent is 100 percent. If they charge us, we charge them — an eye for an eye, a tariff for a tariff, same exact amount.”
This will effectively, eventually, as soon as any trade partner is capable of doing so, remove America from most international trade…so I hope they have everything they need without outside anything from pretty much anyone (with the exception of Ukraine, I guess, who won’t have any sovereign choice in the matter).
Trump’s reciprocal plan could return the average U.S. tariff to its early 1930s level of around 20 percent, said Edward Gresser, a former trade official who is now the vice president and director of trade and global markets for the Progressive Policy Institute. Gresser said Trump’s actions would be unprecedented, and many experts have argued the president does not have the authority to impose such sweeping tariffs without congressional approval.
Administration officials are debating what legal authority the president can invoke to impose a reciprocal system, according to one person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Trump has the power under existing trade laws to impose some tariffs immediately, such as on goods from China, which are covered under a 2018 investigation of Chinese trade practices. A 1930 trade law permits the president to impose tariffs of up to 50 percent on goods from a country that he determines has discriminated against U.S. goods….& that could be pretty much anybody and everybody in this dude‘s mind.
Administration officials had considered a proposal to group all trading partners into one of three buckets — high, medium or low — and assigning a tariff rate accordingly. But the idea has been rejected in favor of calibrating a new tariff rate for each trading partner, one of the people said. The idea of sorting countries into three buckets, and its rejection, was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
However structured, the new tariff regime is likely to further rattle global markets and a domestic economy already shaken by Trump’s sudden trade moves. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 index has lost more than 8 percent in the past month; the tech-heavy Nasdaq is down almost 13 percent over the same period.

Trump aides prep new tariffs on imports worth trillions for ‘Liberation Day’ — The Washington Post
The administration has already unnerved investors with duties on Canada, Mexico and China. Advisers are readying a bigger move.

Well for one
I know a handful of Punjabi words. Zero Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Urdu and more.
Hangout with them more. Ask why Junjabi Sikhs and Hindus get violent on each other or why Pakistan and Bangladesh exist.
I made a post a few months ago about Sikh on Hindu violence IN CANADA. Then there is the Khalistani terrorists. I really dont see where youll find the network to support 5 million illegal aliens.
Yup it wasn’t until I was about forty when I found out that Sikhs living in the lower mainland were not Hindu .
Tell me about it. I’m actively trying to hire since about January 20th. I don’t care what colour they are, and I’m more concerned with their abstract and their criminal record, but it’s not easy hiring drivers at all at this point. Competent ones anyway.
The good drivers are already working .
True. And a lot of us don't do longhaul. Better money and hours in construction. Also, most of the old time drivers that could actually drive have timed out. Our union rate for dump trucks is $31.92 plus bennies on Vancouver Island. Somewhat higher on PLA jobs. The lower mainland is somewhat higher. Don't know what Teamsters rate is any more. I make $35 with no bennies for my non union contractor friends. And home every night.
