U.S. Vice-President JD Vance made a series of posts criticizing Canada’s political leadership, public broadcaster and immigration system, saying our living standards are “stagnating” because of all the “foreign-born” people living here.

In posts to his X account Friday, Vance says Canada’s elected leaders have created “immigration insanity” by leaning into diversity.

“While I’m sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don’t need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” he said.

    Maybe our slipping standard of living is because we’re too reliant on the US as a trade partner and they’ve decided to shit all over us. Probably doesn’t help that we’re far too happy to follow America’s lead in placating billionaires and corporations with massive tax breaks while they raise prices, lower wages and push out local businesses.
