Only On The Walters Post

We’ve been told for years that Canada needs more immigrants because Canadians aren’t having enough children. But let’s cut to the chase: It’s not about birth rates. It’s an excuse to justify more government spending, more bureaucratic growth, and more programs that only add to the national debt.

Here’s what I believe is the truth: when more immigrants arrive, the government hires more workers to manage things—healthcare workers, social services, public programs—and that comes with a hefty price tag. More people, means more services, and those services are paid for by taxpayers. But instead of addressing the real issue, which is inefficient spending and mismanagement, they use immigration as a band-aid solution.

Look at the state of things. Our healthcare system is overwhelmed, people can’t even see a doctor in time for critical care because there aren’t enough professionals to meet the demand. On top of that, homelessness continues to rise, and it’s getting harder for regular folks to make ends meet. All of this should be addressed first, but instead, we’re told to focus on immigration, as if it’s the only answer.

The government’s push for more immigration, in my mind, isn’t about filling jobs—it’s about expanding their operations, growing the system, and justifying more spending. They don’t want to face the real problem, which is how they’ve mismanaged the country’s finances for years. Immigration gives them an easy way out by pointing to it as a “solution” for what’s really a symptom of a much bigger issue.

The thing is: We don’t have the infrastructure to support this influx, and it’s obvious in the way services are stretched thin. People are suffering because of it—whether it’s in waiting rooms, on the streets, or in long lines for services that don’t exist in the numbers they should. And all the while, the government keeps expanding, draining more resources without ever asking the tough questions about how they’ve gotten here.

This is what’s happening behind the government’s push for more immigration. It’s a way to cover up years of bad decisions and mismanagement—nothing more, nothing less. Of course, this is just my opinion and how I see things based on what I observe.
