    Canada needs more people. It also needs more infrastructure.

    Unfortunately Canada is doing a good job tackling #1, but a bad job tackling #2 because the financials work out to be just fine to do so.

    We don’t have too many immigrants, we have too many houses being wasted as “InVeStMeNtS” and too many rich fucks not paying taxes choking out the economy and social services.

    As a recent immigrant … ouch.

    With that said everyone in my town has been incredibly kind and welcoming of me and my family. We are native english speakers from the US and white though so we can pass for local as long as we dont say “prah-cess” instead of “pro-cess” or talk about the weather in Freedom Degrees instead of Celsius.

    The real story:

    Just 10 per cent of Canadians who think there is too much immigration say their concern is that Canadians will become “a minority” in their own country. Only eight per cent say new immigrants don’t adhere to Canadian values and just four per cent believe that immigration is bringing criminals to the country. Eighteen per cent worry that immigrants are taking jobs from Canadians.

      Yeah after all the multiculturalism propaganda of the last 40 years, your average Canadian is either brainwashed or unwilling to say enough is enough out loud.

          Enjoy either never owning a home or hearing people bitch about they can’t now till forever, between the tight market and depressed wages and high taxes driving anyone with talent south. They imported the population of Saskatchewan in a little over one year. that’s not sustainable, that’s literal idiocy.
