You can see these problems coming from miles away.
I agree. I've said it a million times. We are the second largest Sovereign Land-Mass on the face of this Earth and we have a laughably low population. We should be welcoming immigration!
But you cant just bring in people without places for them to live and work and receive Health Care...we dont have the infrastructure for that kind of influx.
400,000 people? Per year?
Thats a standing Army. At your gates.
I'm reminded of when during the Refugee Crisis all of those people were trying to get into Turkey and on the news people were admonishing the Turks for slow and unwieldy ingress processes.
Yeah. Well. Thats literally an invading Army. Nobody and I mean NOBODY on this planet has the infrastructure in place to handle that many incoming people all at once.
So I'll say it again. I know this isnt the Politics thread but I am all for Immigration, but we have to be smart about this and I think this Policy is in place for 'points' and its going to fail.

Didn't catch all of it but there was an economist on 77 last week who claimed that if you add in the exploding rent costs immigration is now costing Canadians upwards of $50 billion a year, seems extremely high to me but who knows.
