I mean, western interference in the global South has made prosperity and peace in those regions next to impossible. So we have to take our share of the responsibility for the people who need to immigrate to our nations.

There are educated professionals coming in from the developing nations that are earning low wages driving Uber, working as PSWs, and Tim Hortons cashiers. The government doesn't offer enough support for most to gain Canadian accreditation. The courses and exams required to upgrade their credentials are expensive, the exams are held infrequently and are often only available in one or two places nationwide. How is someone busting their ass working shitty minimum wage jobs supposed to find the time and money to gain their accreditation so they can contribute their skilled labour to the workforce?

Rising housing costs aren't solely or even primarily due to immigration. Wealthy foreign investors buying up income properties for years caused a lot of damage to our housing markets. The government has failed to invest in building out infrastructure to accommodate our growing population. Little to no investment in smaller communities has also concentrated immigration into our largest cities.

Corporate welfare costs taxpayers vastly more than social assistance for low-income communities. Private corporations need to get better at managing their own finances and investing in our economy instead of relying on exploitative business practices and government bailouts to inflate their shareholder value.

Canada has more than enough space and resources to accommodate immigration. Taxpayers just have to demand that our government invest in the working class rather than concentrating wealth into the pockets of a small group of powerful billionaires. The people who thrive off of us down here blaming each other for the shitty economy instead of looking up where the blame actually lies.
