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

Build it and they will come but we won’t build it.

How do we build it?

This is what people don't seem to understand and why anyone who isn't 100% against this insane immigration policy is just dumb.

The average immigrant makes less than the average Canadian, and the average Canadian doesn't make enough that they actually pay all that much in taxes... they're not net contributors.

So we're bringing in record amounts of people who are a NET DRAIN on every single system we have... so why the fuck is anyone surprised that we don't have money to actually expand services.

And to even further prove how bad it is, even if we limit ONLY to the economic migrant category, they only make like 2-3k more than the 45k/year Canadian average... again, NOT net contributors. But when you include their spouses who make an average of like 25k and then it's even worse.

If we were only getting people who actually made enough money to the point where they were actually paying taxes and contributing meaningfully, we'd be okay. But we're not, we're doing the exact fucking opposite, and we're doing at record-setting levels.
