“Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what’s actually driving food prices higher in this country.”
Because they’re already used to bad housing conditions, they’re the perfect immigrants. They won’t complain and are happy to have 10 people in an apartment
They also fill all the jobs Canadians won’t do and are already educated
To be clear this is the 5th time it’s been relocated and came back. Like they literally blindfold kidnap it to some random location on the island and it immediately came back, I don’t even understand how it’s possible

From a housing perspective, yeah, there are currently too many. That’s a policy failure not related to immigration itself though. The housing problem could be easily solved and then this level of immigration would make sense.
In addition, feds should be building housing to house every single person, unconditionally. On the topic of homelessness it’s the only way to reintegrate folks into society. Even if, say, 80% do nothing but shoot up in their free housing, it’s still cheaper for taxpayers when you consider the cost of taking care of folks on the street and the problems that causes. And just by building housing stock you’re making good entry level jobs that don’t require university education.
And this may be controversial, but non-Canadians should pay a higher mortgage rate. Finland does this and they have probably the best housing situation on the planet. They are actually the ones who pioneered the idea of unconditionally housing everyone, IIRC.
Canada has built roughly the same number of houses per year since the 90s.
Yes but we also weren’t taking 1 million newcomers per year in the 90s. If you want these immigration numbers you need to have a plan to make it work.
Are you saying I can’t criticize immigration because my family generations ago are immigrants? If not, then I did miss your point.
My rebuttal to that is that I did not choose to be born here. And I’m here now and it’s obvious that immigration levels are too high given our failing housing and health care policies for example.
North America has the capability to get their fingers in every single international affair but doesn’t give a flying fuck about their own people and it infuriates me
It’s great that we are air dropping for gazans but we have the capability to stop Israel but we don’t, this is just virtue signalling imo
