    It’s absolutely insane. Life here is so expensive it’s out of control… but hey, let’s keep bringing in more immigrants. I am not anti-immigration. I just want things to be fixed before we bring in more people.

      Supposedly we would have a declining population if we didn’t have a lot of immigration. However, I’ve also heard that India has been pressuring Canada to receive more immigrants. We need to get our housing market under control but that’s as much a problem of real estate commodification as anything else.
