I'm not so sure immigration is as screwed up as people think. Demographically, Canada would be in a really bad place if not for immigration. The birth rate is really low, and people live longer with a high expectation of state provided support. With the Boomers now mostly being 60 to 80 years old...the country is very much in a structure where the number of dependents would outnumber the workers.

There definitely were some mis steps, and some foreign actors manipulated things for sure. But when I hear angry white people crying that our country is full and stop taking our jobs...that take is so wrong.
