U.S. Vice-President JD Vance made a series of posts criticizing Canada’s political leadership, public broadcaster and immigration system, saying our living standards are “stagnating” because of all the “foreign-born” people living here.

In posts to his X account Friday, Vance says Canada’s elected leaders have created “immigration insanity” by leaning into diversity.

“While I'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” he said.

Capitalism is the problem. Capitalism is what caused the excess influx of immigration since the only workers corps want to hire need to work for minimum wage or less. Immigrants and TFW and International students are needed to accept those conditions on the mistaken belief that a year or so later they can move up. Instead the reality is that they help depress wages and drive up living costs. But it isn't their fault. Same as the productivity problems that Canada has - workers cannot work/produce more in the same amount of time. New tech, training or equipment is needed to help them accomplish more in the same time. But corps want to blame workers as lazy and not admit it's that the corps fault because they don't want to put any of their profit into increasing output.
