I still remember the first time I realized that refugees and immigrants from certain places could easily abuse our systems if they were so inclined.
From coming here as a refugee, to living in prime public housing, to being able to buy out said public housing for 1/10th of the market value and selling it high a few years later it's absolutely possible to become a millionaire in this country without contributing to it in the slightest.
I've seen it happen with my own eyes.
Canadian society depends on a sense of honour, most people who grew up here are mortified at the thought of ever going on welfare or worse than that, abusing the public teat. That's stealing from your countrymen.
Some segments of the world though, do not see things that way at all and are more than happy to get whatever they can take.

Hmmm. So you mean they can infest and trash a hotel until it's worthless, pool together and buy it, then renovate and sell?
You're thinking of the native hotel restoration scam. It's pretty big in the Prairies.
Essentially, they put up a band after a disaster makes their reserve temporarily uninhabitable, the band trashes the hotel and the government quietly pays for the repairs.
How the fuck is there a CERB facebook group?
