Not all immigration is bad. Not all foreign workers are bad. However when companies/employers are allowed to freely manipulate the system so that Canadians cannot get the jobs or the training and 'scholarships' and apprenticeships are for women, indigenous, and immigrants first, then Canadians who are excluded will be resentful. There was a news report yesterday of someone trying to raise money to keep an unqualified student in Canada, all expenses paid, because that young person had "potential". So do many other young Canadians and yet no one is trying to sponsor them if their parents cannot afford to send them to post secondary training. When a Canadian needs a trade certificate to do a job but a TFW can use the fake certificate his friend created for him, it isn't a equal employment field.

Canada's elite scapegoat imgrants while completely ignoring that Canada's elites are the ones who wanted more migrants so they could have migrants renting and sleeping in shifts in the houses the elite own, and working for a pittance wage and no complaints at the Tim Hortons franchises the elites also own.
(And yes, I know it's more complex than that, but the same people who benefit from goosing GDP through immigration while keeping taxes low just happen to support political parties that make hay on dogwhistled racism)
Still applies:
Except the white man would be a director at Brookfield who owns residential real estate and wants their asset values to rise.
Houses being built my me and all of the excavation and framing are being done by visible minorities. Can’t tell if they qualify as migrants or not though but the only Europeans I see working on housing are doing electrical plumbing and HVAC.
That's because wages are depressed. If you paid fair wages, white people would work those jobs
I don’t pay anyone. Contractors do. At higher wages nobody would be working. See what’s happening in the US.
