canada got along fine pre 2020 before this mass immigration of brown people. in fact, while i was growing up during the 1990s, there were barely any indians and canada was AMAZING.
this line you are spewing is a load of horseshit.
Ah yes, the magical ‘90s—when you were a kid with no bills, no responsibilities, and no clue how the economy actually worked. Let’s unpack this:
Canada’s economy has always relied on immigrants. The ‘90s saw massive immigration too—just from different places (Hong Kong after the handover, Eastern Europe post-USSR collapse, refugees from the Balkans). The idea that Canada was ‘better’ with fewer brown people is pure racist nostalgia, not reality.
The ‘90s were economically brutal for many Canadians. Unemployment hit 11%, wages stagnated, and social services were gutted by austerity. If you think that was ‘amazing,’ it’s only because you weren’t the one trying to find a job or pay a mortgage.
Today’s problems aren’t caused by immigrants—they’re caused by bad policy. Housing shortages? Decades of underbuilding and speculation. Wage stagnation? Corporate greed and weak labor laws. Healthcare delays? Chronic underfunding, not ‘too many brown people.’
Without immigrants, Canada would be in demographic collapse. Our birth rate is 1.4—far below replacement level. If we stopped immigration tomorrow, we’d face a crisis worse than Japan’s aging population: no workers to fund pensions, no nurses to care for boomers, and no tax base to keep the country running.
So no, the ‘90s weren’t ‘better’ because there were fewer Indians—they were just easier for you because you were a kid. Maybe instead of blaming immigrants for your adult struggles, you should direct that energy at the corporations and politicians actually screwing over working Canadians.
