00:34and how the political optics, especially Doug Ford's federal ambitions,

00:41Watch till the end for a full breakdown of what's at stake for workers,

00:46employers and Canada's future immigration direction.

00:57As Canada faces mounting pressures from rising asylum seeker numbers,

01:09a controversial political debate has erupted over immigration policy,

01:14public spending and federal provincial responsibility.

01:17Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent statement about directly issuing 100,000 work permits to asylum seekers,

01:24followed by a swift walk back,

01:27has ignited concerns about sustainability, fairness and national priorities.

01:33The full version of this update is available on our website.

01:38Link mentioned in the description below.

01:43Let's begin with Ontario's proposal to issue 100,000 work permits.

01:49Doug Ford's short-lived announcement to issue work permits to 100,000 asylum seekers raised concerns about provincial overreach.

02:00While framed as a solution to reduce welfare costs and hotel accommodation expenses,

02:06critics argued it undermined federal immigration procedures.

02:11Next, we explore the financial burden on provinces versus federal support.

02:22Ontario has been footing the bill for housing and health care for asylum seekers,

02:26reportedly without sufficient federal reimbursement.

02:29This has strained resources while thousands of applicants remain unable to legally work for over two years.

02:34Moving on to delays in Canadian work permit processing.

02:39Critics cite Canada's prolonged work permit processing, often taking two years,

02:46as a policy failure that burdens taxpayers and delays integration for those ready to work.

02:52Following that, we look at the immigration system versus Canadian job market.

02:59It's alleged some corporations save up to $8 per hour by hiring immigrants, incentivized by diversity hiring subsidies.

03:10This practice has ignited debate over prioritizing Canadian-born workers.

03:16Next, we discuss political optics and Doug Ford's federal ambitions.

03:22Ford's retraction and federal coordination hints at a broader political calculus.

03:31With rumors of a conservative leadership bid, Ford's optics around immigration are under scrutiny

03:37as frustrations grow over rising living costs, housing shortages and immigration volumes.

03:43Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.

03:52Canada's immigration tensions are no longer just federal.

03:54They're local, economic and deeply political.

03:57As costs mount and policies clash, Canadians are asking,

04:00who is really benefiting from current immigration strategies?

04:04With leadership on the line and public pressure building,

04:07meaningful reform may only come when voters demand real change.

04:14And that's the close. Got thoughts?

04:17Let's talk in the comments.

04:21You know, we're being rejected.
