Nobody should go hungry. Hopefully these kids get fed and get great education.

And when they are older, I hope they can afford rent. Otherwise they may end up homeless, and hungry again.

Especially since they just opened the doors to ensure Canadian poverty will remain at an all time high. They better do something to feed the millions they just brought in

I'm curious why a) you assume that an immigrant will immediately be on welfare, b) why and immigrant would be eligible for welfare and c) where our low-skill labour is, considering how many unfilled jobs there are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Our low skill labour is already right here in the country. People aren't taking those because they don't pay enough to cover bills.

As opposed to the millions of people who are about to become reliant on the healthcare systems? We need new workers, and whether we like to admit it or not, Canadians don't like working dirty jobs.

If those jobs fucking paid well we wouldn't have a problem with it.
