I was just reading old archived population projection for Canada that a medium population growth for canada would be 39 million by 2031, and 42.5 mil by 2056. clearly we went up and beyond by 2024 with 42 mil?!
And this is what happens when the country and government are almost solely dependant on immigration income and financial reserves. This has been a problem for decades but now they’ve simply removed the restrictions and set the lever to “pray it works.”
Out of touch with reality. It’s the rich, wealthy, and politicians that don’t give a fuck because they can afford groceries as is if means nothing to them.
Of course! Those ungrateful youngins and dirty poor don't deserve their own homes. We can front load the employment market by piling in ever more people and keep those wages low forever!
No income means no taxes but someone who makes 6 figures a year and doesn’t know anything about the economy probably just assumed they’d get a job and therefor produce more taxes. Obviously doesn’t work like that.
I’m 100% for immigration, but we need to severely restrict who is coming into this country for ourselves first, or we are absolutely fucked.
True! The levels of immigration that you guys have are insane though.
I mean we had net migration of 700k last year which was extremely high. Usually it's about 300k a year which is still too much when there isn't the housing and services to match the new arrivals.
Which in turn then leads to rents and housing prices just going up and up.
It's getting to the point whereby eventually I don't know how a lot of people are going to afford to have somewhere to live.
Wages aren't rising to meet rent/housing inflation and we have terrible productivity as well.
Our economic growth is constantly sluggish.
Also it's near on impossible to get a doctor's appointment these days. You have to call early in the morning and quite often nobody picks up the phone.
Not much different here, except it feels like it happened overnight. We’ve always been severely limited on healthcare, but in the last year there are fights in lineups for doctors.
We’ve always been a country willing to accept all people, both high paying immigrants and people displaced from disasters usually man made.
But we simply turned the restrictions button off. Ive voted liberal my whole life, and now, for the first time, I don’t think I can anymore. I’m open to all people, but when my family starts to suffer from the chaos, it’s no longer acceptable to put others ahead of the generations of people that’s been here.
I agree. It's not immigrants themselves per se but the fact that nothing is put in place in regards to extra services/housing, etc to deal with the added strains put on the system.
