Comments by "D W" (@DW-op7ly) on ""Enough is enough": Canada ups student visa financial onus, threatens to “significantly" limit visas" video.

  1. Because we are deadbeat Canadians who needs these students money to support our educational institutions And immigrants to prop up our real estate

  2. To understand universities’ addiction to international student fees, it’s worth looking back at the 1990s. This was a terrible decade for higher education: cutbacks were constant, tuition kept going up, student aid was slashed, and the system came out of it in pretty rough shape. But then came the 2000s, and the good times rolled. The economy improved, a demographic wave of new students washed into higher education, and governments started spending on education again (figure 1). As a result, universities saw their budgets grow at 6 percent per year after inflation for an entire decade. And their cost base — 70 percent of which goes to salaries, which are very hard to reduce because of tenure and collective agreements — rose in tandem. Policy Options

  3. Because we lived the good life on borrowed and spent money and did not have the kids to replace us So we bring in these students to support our educational institutions with their international student fees And we bring in the immigrants to support the economy pay down the debts we ran up and take care of us in old age Buts let’s complain about it and blame them instead

  5. @FogoMackenzie Canadian Real Estate has been strong for decades because of immigrants We borrowed and spent living the good life/high standard of living That is what you folks don’t get… we are Canadians can’t pay our debts sitting on 2 trillion in Provincial/Federal debt these days Debt we really started running up in the 1940s. Sow dem gud ole dais ye pine fer? we didn’t pay for the first time around Which we just kicked this debt down the road for future generations to pay for Problem is, we stopped meeting “natural” population replacement rates in 1971 And we have around 1000 boomers turning 65 each and everyday in Canada (That started in 2011 won’t end until 2028) By 2036 we will have around 11 million Canadian seniors As by 2032 immigration will make up 100% of our population growth So we pack in the immigrants the poor ones to make our french fries and more importantly flip us over in bed in the old age home The rich ones to come support the economy and prop up the real estate Because most of these boomers are also personally cash poor/in debt But luckily….most of these boomers???? Shockingly by some engineered miracle 😉!!!!! own a 40 year old plus never been renovated, overpriced home some immigrant is willing to overpay for. Which these boomers can get lines of credit on or reverse mortgage on Or sell if they have to Which they should not .. … as that home will be one their own personal old age home in The future unless you can show me some links… on our building/buying enough facilities to house millions of Canadian seniors in the next decade Yes it’s one big Ponzi scheme that screws over the younger folks but we don’t want to crash our Ponzi Scheme economy. (I have purposely gone to live in countries and among the locals living on a dollar a day wages in comparison to our dollar. You think your life sucks these days) Try having 50k of someone else’s currency worth 2 million of our Canadian dollars Or have what kids you and I did actually have… Having to sell their wares to Russian sailors for a 500 CDN dollar loaf of bread or trying to sail a boat to some distant country for a better life Or grandmami/grandpapi begging on the street because that nest egg home they have they can’t sell off So the people at the bottom of our society lose out…. or we all do Don’t like packing in these immigrants/people as the solution? Let’s hear you folks say “I demand to pay more taxes” and “I demand less social services in return” Or let’s sell 25 year 50 year forward contracts on our natural resources some foreign corporation or Country can come into mine. Using our young as cheap labour Or let’s be known as the deadbeat generation who had to resort to selling off pieces of Canada Plus since we stopped replacing ourselves. It will be more and more likely the great great grandkids of these new immigrants stuck paying off the debts we run up long after we are gone… As we stick them with the bill But since we have been sel fish our whole lives living that good life let’s “now” complain about the solutions after decades and decades of this Our being broke borrowers who couldn’t replace ourselves
