The hottest topic of the week was the cultural clash between Indian and Canada's "natives."
Among them, the two bubbles of of two Indian people in public directly broke the defense of Canada!
But what really stresses Canada is not just the difference in living habits, but the erosion and competition for job opportunities for low-level Canada by Indians.
When there is competition for a job with India, many people know they are going to be unemployed.
On July 31, 2024, Canada media blogTO reported that the largest job fair in the Toronto area attracted 37,000 resumes, a record high, but the most shocking thing is that the vast majority of people looking for jobs are of Indian origin.
Although this incident happened in Ontario, I can relate to it in Richmond. Because starting from 2024, there will be Indian migrant workers in Chinese supermarkets, Chinese restaurants, Chinese medicine manufacturing factories, and logistics warehouses of Chinese enterprises.
Ordinary supermarkets, gas stations, and warehouses, which were originally the main employment areas of Canada's local low-level labor, have long been completely occupied by Indians.
In fact, all basic jobs where English is the working language cannot escape the sweep of the Indian labor force, and the labor structure of any industry with only one Indian entry will quickly become Indian.
The editor does not mean to disparage India here, but is shocked by their ability to penetrate like mercury.
Originally, the Chinese economic circle was unable to enter India due to the special language barrier of Chinese, but with the influx of a large number of temporary residents of Indian descent into Canada, their spirit of daring to take the minimum wage, not to pay overtime, and not to pursue benefits still impressed Chinese employers, and in some positions with low language communication requirements, Indian Americans also began to appear.
In this context, the two bubbles of of India origin can stir up a thousand waves, and also instantly ignite the anger of the locals who have been robbed of their jobs.
According to blogTO, there was a frantic queue at the job fair.
A long queue winds its way through the Enercare Centre, with job seekers waiting for their turn to apply for a position. This madness reflects Ontario's current dire employment situation.
Many now attribute this to the large number of international students and new immigrants in Canada in recent years, making it more difficult for locals to find jobs.
But you're just the latest example of long lines at job fairs in Toronto and the surrounding area. And netizens complained that most of the people in line were India.
At a job fair for security guards, the crowd of applicants lined up from the office to the parking lot, and then out to the street, and even the camera couldn't shoot the back of the line. Although the camera swept by, you can take a closer look at who is queuing.
Retail companies such as McDonald's, Tim Hortons, retail chains, shopping malls, LCBOs, and retail companies such as Fortinos and Bath & Body Works are all seeing a similar frenzy in hiring.
Netizens have expressed their opinions on this phenomenon, and the same skin color of a large number of job seekers has also caused controversy.
My first job was as a teenager when I was picking up trash at the National Exhibition of Canada (CNE). This job has taught me a lot in the workplace. There weren't many people at the time. But now...
Some people say they think it's a team that gives out free food.
It is also said that this is what happens when you let unqualified immigrants and international students far beyond what is socially and economically affordable enter Canada, open the door to refugees, and remove the visit visa requirement for South America, especially when many Canadaians are unemployed! It's insane!
Some people also say that there is a limit on the working hours of foreign students.
The most direct people say so, where did the "whites" in Canada go?
Anti-immigrants have also come out, stop the mass recruitment of immigrants, let these poor people recognize the reality and give up the false dream of Canada!
More directly anti-Indian are also coming, and too many Indians are being "imported" by Canada.
Finally came an objective-looking recruiter, and job fairs are usually desperate places. You'll almost never find good candidates there. Those places are usually crowded with people on visitor visas, desperately seeking closed work permits, unskilled immigrants who have just arrived, and some very desperate Canada.
In fact, the complaints of Ontario netizens are not surprised.
Starting in 2024, when ordering takeout, I found that the proportion of Indian food delivery workers has skyrocketed, and the proportion of Uber drivers of Indian origin has also skyrocketed. The direct consequence is that no matter what the weather, I don't have to wait long for a takeaway order. An Uber from Richmond Fisherman's Wharf to downtown Vancouver costs only $26 CAD each way.
Indian origin has hit the Canada labor market, driving down Canada's labor pricing and allowing more people to enjoy the convenience of living close to China.
The expensive low-end service industry is likely to be pulled to the lower end by more and more Indians, so the Indian are not all negative, but they are absolutely devastating to competitors who are in the same latitude as them.
"Yinshan Yinhai" may be a Chinese phrase exclusive to Chinese people in Canada for many years.
