You're monomaniacally stuck on blaming immigrants. Every problem in this country you bring back to immigration. Immigrants to blame for unemployment, to blame for housing, to blame for healthcare. Every other thread I've interacted with you, same shit.

You correctly blame the neoliberals for fucking us over. You correctly identify conservative zoning policies as a cause. But then you never dare look upstream. Never actually challenge the economic basis that created these problems. You accept that economic basis, and always you still go back to blaming immigrants. This "cart before the horse" analogy is precisely telling of the kind of nativist politics you're peddling. Ever look downstream, never upstream.

You claim to be speaking for the poor Canadians, but that's bullshit. You don't really care, not where it matters. Because in your brain if the bad immigrants go away, then we'll go to the good old days, right? When poor Canadians supposedly did not have to compete with bad immigrants for scraps. See your problem is the competing part, not the scraps part.

So while you do go some way towards identifying the problem, you just don't have the courage to name its source. You just fixate on immigrants. So all you do is either carry water for the Maple MAGA or maybe you're one of them.
