Controversial opinion: This is actually a very good thing.
Only if it comes back up again eventually.
Agreed. Build more dense housing, incentivize more public transit, and plan for both of those things to become higher in demand (and close the TFW minimum wage loophole), then we can start inviting folks into our country again to provide us the value that they objectively can.
What do you mean about this part? As far as I can tell, a higher wage is actually required for TFWs.
We need provinces and the feds to communicate and plan together more effectively in both immigrations and housing terms. We need to have a plan to make sure that people coming in have housing and employment opportunities without a public opinion developing that these opportunities are being taken away from existing Canadians.
Currently the feds can say we want to bring in 1 million people, the provinces can say sure but we won't plan for that at all (but they do want the workers) and then throw the feds under the bus when the province faces a housing crisis. Then the local politicians spin it as either exclussively the feds fault or even blame the immigrants, as if they had any say in housing or employment development.
That's not controversial at all among real life tim hortons Canadians. We don't have enough houses for immigrants right now. Or really any infrastructure for that matter. The facts do not lie.
Where do houses and infrastructure come from? Does the government wave a wand and they appear?
Crown corporations/government contracts and loans
They could do that but the entire CPP is invested into REITs so it won't happen.
You dodged the question.
Are you implying houses are only built by immigrants
Obviously not. Where do houses and infrastructure come from, though? Like, what's involved in the creation of these things.
They don't come from anywhere when your entire economy rides on inflated real estate values
Why do you refuse to answer the question I asked?
I literally don't know what you want from me
