Today's immigrant is living a life of luxury... don't even dare to compare the two.

Take it easy big guy, my grandparents did the exact same thing.
At the end of the day you're comparing two completely different worlds with two completely different sets of needs. Canada has evolved from a place where you get immigrants to come over and let them fight it out for themselves, and it's certainly not a place where people are treated differently based solely on their nationality.
