There’s something rotten festering beneath Canada’s polite veneer, and it’s not just the endless winter or the price of groceries. It’s the slow erosion of a system built for Canadians, now being bled dry by a growing influx of newcomers who are handed golden keys to services they’ve never paid into.
Let’s call it what it is: national self-sabotage.
Picture this. You’ve worked your whole life—paid your taxes, stood in line, followed the rules. And now? You’re elbow-to-elbow in a hospital waiting room with someone who just landed, fresh off the plane, demanding access to the very same care your family has contributed to for generations. No residency, no taxes paid, no sweat or sacrifice. Just open arms and open wallets—yours.
It doesn’t stop at the ER. Our public schools, already stretched to the breaking point, are now expected to accommodate children who often don’t speak the language, bringing with them challenges our teachers were never trained for. Meanwhile, Canadian-born kids are slipping through the cracks, shuffled aside in the name of fairness. But who’s being fair to us?
Let’s make one thing clear: this isn’t about cruelty. It’s about accountability. If you walk into a store and take something without paying, it’s called theft. So why is it “compassion” when the same principle is applied to public services?
This isn’t xenophobia. It’s economic realism.
We can welcome people, yes. But let them carry some of the burden. Healthcare and education aren’t free—they’re prepaid by generations of Canadians. If newcomers want in, they should pay in. A bill, plain and simple. Just like the rest of us.
Because what we’re doing now? It’s not generosity. It’s national suicide by a thousand paper cuts.
