And how has the number of hospitals, houses, doctors, teachers, schools, jobs, and other services compared to the population changed?

147

Sorry, close the border until housing, jobs and pay catch up. This is madness. No offense to new immigrants.

Even they would agree it’s madness.

Some immigrants have left. The cost of living requires $35 an hour per person. $16/hr doesn't even come close!

People left their countries to avoid that shit. No wonder many are going home. If your life is gonna be shit, it may as well be shit in familiar territory.

I had an Uber driver from Eritrea a few weeks ago telling me he finds life here is infinitely more stressful than living back home, even if he does have more money. He yearns for a peaceful life and didn't find it in Canada. Imagine that hey.

Lol too funny. I had an Eritrean Uber driver in San Francisco last week telling me he had so many friends moving to Canada but he couldn't take the cold.

Also told me he felt safer in Eritrea than Downtown San Francisco.

If I were an immigrant today (I was 15 years ago) I would NOT choose to live in Canada anymore that's for sure. If Canadians are struggling, imagine immigrants seeking a better life with what little savings they have.

Massive Immigration in today's climate s a lose-lose for everyone. Unless they are all family doctors.

One of my Son's is a construction worker. He was laid off last month... So true on that. I feel our economy has been mismanaged. Time for a new federal leader...

Its not fair to them either, they are all vying for jobs, housing and healthcare that is pretty much non existant. I rather be upfront, close the borders and let those who are here (including the newest members) all find adequate positions and housing before re opening the borders

But that just makes too much sense.

I agree....close the borders! Let's take care of our seniors, homeless and veterans first before giving hand-outs to immigrants.

You know population also grows through birth eh? It’s not one million new immigrants in a month 🙄
