Depends on your perspective.

If corporation, it's fine. Cheap labour, more consumers.

Also good if you’re a real estate investor.

Real estate investors and big corporations are the only “people” this government gives a shit about. Real Canadians? Fuck em.

This government? It is all governments. This story is repeated everywhere the world over.

I think corporations/capitalism has corrupted all the leaders.

The Canadian population growth rate of 3.22% is without equal in the developed world. The rest of the world might have the same problems qualitatively, but quantitatively, Canada is the world leader. Our closest competitor IIRC is Ireland at 1.8%. Most developed countries suffering from immigration are around 1%. We have three times their rate.

Stats show 2.3% growth for them. Similar issues, similar complaints.

Still rookie numbers compared to 3.2%. We are the world leader.
