If that's a non-sequitur you...um...what, even? Lol.
These unfortunate people were conned by people back in India, conned by John Tibbits and conned by Canada. Conestoga College is a bullshit PR mill on par with those who used to sell "degrees" like pharmaceutical assistant during daytime TV commercial breaks for Jerry Springer. 2022 saw 1 million immigrants dumped into Canada, the largest number seen in over half a century. We are importing so many people yet not ensuring anything else keeps up to support them, not that it should because those numbers are god damn absurd. 1 million people in 12 months.
It's god damn modern day slavery. The neoliberal Liberal and NDP coalition is desperate to import warm bodies they can make work the shittiest jobs because none of us want to anymore since the pay sucks. And they're desperate enough that even though they are coming from middle class Indian society, coming here to line up hours in a line to put french fries into a cardboard sachet to max level rank up your PR hours is superior than whatever goes on back in New Delhi.
And it fucks us the most, at the end of the day. As an Indigenous person I've seen this entire continent genocided, colonized and then basically raped for a couple centuries by modern day capitalists. Now they're doing it on a scale that is equal to industrial livestock farming. Reel them in with promises, use them and then make everyone live life like a battle royale deathmatch competing for whatever scraps are thrown our way. This is not in any shape or form sustainable. People whine about housing costs, how transit sucks, how we are eating up green space etc. Well that tends to happen when you let in hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people a year and you keep voting for the same brain dead morons who perpetuate it.
Or just think about it this way: when is the last time you've seen hundreds of people camping in tents in public parks or wrapped around the block downtown Kitchener to flip burgers? Absolutely never. Something has changed, then, right?
