High Canada immigration, good for .ca? (1.Viewing)

Liberals have been keeping immigration to Canada high for last few years, in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 new residents per year.

Today's news is they did 430,000 in just Q3 of this year.

So every two years that's a million new people, which is pretty significant for a country of Canada's population.

I'm sure there are a lot of positive and negative points to this, but from a .ca perspective you'd have to think it's a good thing, maybe not right away but over time...

Keep it up, I'm getting into tent sales, I hear sales are booming.

Our population is growing by an unsustainable 1.2 million people per year, the foreign University student enrolment is increasing by 33% per year, foreign doctor residency rates are skyrocketing while Canadian doctors can't find a space, and as we all know, housing is an absolute mess and it's just going to get worse.

And when the Liberals talk about solutions, they never talk about even a temporary drop in international migration and it's always "more, more, more people!"

Why? Because foreigners pay more than Canadians and everyone is mad for that sweet foreign money, even those from supposedly-public institutions paid for and supposedly-designed for Canadians.

Canada has obviously been put up for sale to foreign interests and due to this, Canada no longer serves Canadians. "Our" country now serves the highest bidder on the foreign market.

The University enrolment numbers display this clearly. In 1990 the foreign student percentage was 2-3%, in 2004 it was 6%, and now it's currently at 25-35% at most Universities (and growing quickly - 33% growth last year alone), while (cough) surprisingly there is no government mandated limit on foreign enrolment - it could conceivably rise to 100%.

Schools are gorging on high-paying foreign students so much that there is no physical space for them. But instead of lowering enrolment due to lack of room, many rent private movie theatres or other large venues to use as classrooms - gotta keep that sweet foreign cash flowing.

Just like immigration, there is never a thought of lowering it, just increasingly-bizarre ideas on how to handle the mass influx of high-paying foreign customers.

In the future, our primary jobs will be to provide services to to these affluent foreign workers, students, residents, sponsors, migrants, family reunification seniors, and others, all without basic access to housing, doctors or a post-secondary education.

It's going to be a wonderful life!

And I might have posted this earlier, but here is the "Liberal Solution" to mass immigration and its negative impact on the availability and cost of housing.

They are passing laws that totally get rid of any current zoning requirements and are encouraging developers to buy up single-unit homes and "transform" that one lot into multi-home designs with anywhere from 4-8 individual mini-houses.

Just imagine you spend a $ million on your house (one of the 'white' ones in the diagrams) and then your neighbor sells and a developer levels the home and then starts building a 6-unit multi-home in the same space?

If the construction doesn't knock over your house, you suddenly have 6 new families/occupant groups next door (8 if it's near a bus stop), with probably 10-15 cars and all the other necessities of living in urban Canada. The street will be one big parking lot, and it won't be long before these multi-houses are taking over the surrounding property.

I see this mass immigration-fueled idiocy and I want to move.

Cities across the Greater Toronto Area have low-density neighbourhoods that are already being treated like medium-density. NIMBYs think someone's going to demolish a single-family home in their quiet subdivision to make way for a fourplex, and that's why we have 20 people living together in a townhouse in Brampton...

Ummm, but that's exactly what the Liberals are proposing, and we're talking 4-, 6- and 8-plexes on a single lot.

And if a parent or grandparent dies and the kids get ahold of the property, this is also exactly what is going to happen, as it provides the highest profit, and that's what everyone seems to be looking for.

They do this now under existing zoning, and in my parent's neighborhood all the big lots of people who have died now sport 2-3 new houses - I can't imagine the profit-driven insanity under this crazy plan - they'll be able to build 16-24 mini-houses on a SINGLE lot. It will be perma-gridlock and one will be able to get their cars out of the suburbs.

And P.S. the reason why we have 20 people living in a a townhouse in Brampton is pure economics and demographics. It's just what happens when you overload a country with a tiny population with an unending stream of people.

That's 430,000 new immigrants in only 3 months.... That's armageddon-level math, which suits the social science Liberals just perfectly.

Did people expect something else to happen this kind of population growth is stuffed into a country of what used to be 37M? Magic?
