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.
