1. El Chivo Expiatorio Político y Social.
Una parte significativa de la conversación pública en Canadá atribuye la crisis de vivienda, la saturación de los servicios de salud y los problemas económicos directamente a la inmigración. Políticos, especialmente del ala conservadora, utilizan este argumento para culpar a los recién llegados de fallas sistémicas y de una mala gestión gubernamental.
- From the canadian experience, i can say that a sudden increase in immigrants being funnelled into college programs or low-income jobs, combined with conservative belt-tightening of social programs and a very tight housing market is a recipe for disaster.
- Everything that happens in this country is being blamed on immigrants. Literally everything. By both parties.
- As shameful as this lie is, it’s even more shameful that we fell for similar lies in canada. Immigrants aren’t responsible for shortages of housing, wait times in healthcare, or rising food prices. That would be the twins of austerity and our failure to adequately tax the rich.
- Pp has a clear political strategy: when in doubt, blame immigrants. Maga!
2. La Paradoja: Inmigrantes en Contra de la Inmigración.
Un fenómeno sorprendente es el de inmigrantes ya establecidos que apoyan políticas migratorias más estrictas. Este grupo a menudo distingue entre "buenos" y "malos" inmigrantes o simplemente busca "cerrar la puerta" detrás de ellos, una actitud descrita como "muy poco canadiense" que desafía la narrativa de solidaridad entre comunidades.
- Some established immigrants in canada are surprisingly supporting stricter immigration policies, challenging the nation's multicultural identity discover why immigrants already in canada are now echoing anti-immigration sentiment.
- The strange thing i find in talking to immigrants in canada (of many nationalities) is that they are mostly anti-immigration. It’s so weird to me. Scarcity mindset maybe?
- I have found while door knocking that the folks most against immigration are themselves immigrants. Pulling the ladder up is very in-canadian behaviour.
- "many established immigrants in canada are now favouring restrictive immigration policies, dismantling multiculturalism narratives, and drawing boundaries between 'past' and 'present,' 'good' and 'bad' immigrants.".
3. La Defensa de la Identidad Canadiense como Nación de Inmigrantes.
Frente al discurso de odio, muchos canadienses defienden firmemente la inmigración, recordando que el país fue construido por inmigrantes y que su diversidad es su mayor fortaleza. Argumentan que los recién llegados son esenciales para el crecimiento económico y cultural, y que el verdadero problema radica en la mala gestión política, no en las personas.
- This is ridiculous and disgusting. Canada is a country of immigrants--including pp's own wife and her family.
- Canada is a nation of immigrants; "anti-immigrant" people are a minority because most people aren't so racist they'd hate their own grandmas.
- Without immigrants canada would be unable to fill critical jobs, collect enough income tax, and pay for social programs. Immigration fuels our economy with frontline employees to take the jobs that canadian-born workers refuse to do.
- Immigrants built canada and continue to do so. The oligarchs and corps are the ones that are the problem.
4. El Eco de la Retórica MAGA y la Desinformación.
La retórica antiinmigrante en Canadá a menudo refleja las tácticas y narrativas popularizadas en Estados Unidos. Se difunde desinformación, como la idea de que los inmigrantes reciben grandes sumas de dinero del gobierno, para avivar el resentimiento y la división, importando una campaña de odio que muchos canadienses consideran ajena a sus valores.
- Trumpism has wafted over the border like acrid smoke. My province of alberta, which sits atop montana, has very very few “illegal” or irregular immigrants.
- I'm really sick of the uneducated conservative take here in canada. They say shit like immigrants get 3500 a month in taxpayer money when they don't. It is almost like those racist assholes don't know a single fucking immigrant.
- Trump is laying all the blame for the us problems on immigrants. Is poilievre and his maga conservatives trying to start the same hatred campaign in canada?
- Charlie angus “poilievre brings the maga hate book to canada” the far right are driving a rage storm against immigrants and it's already taking root in canada.
