      Narrator: the infrastructure was not there

      Voted liberal, ndp, and green my whole life btw, and spent a decade as a public servant; im not a hate filled person who shits on immigrants, I just want responsible immigration policy, and McKinsey Consulting is evil.

          The Canadian population rose by almost 20% in the last 5 years. The infrastructure we currently have was not ready for irresponsible immigration policy, and these things need to be done in coordination. I can’t predict the future, but I’m sayin’ my political concerns lie in this decade, not the next century.

          Bad immigration policy also fuels distain towards immigrants, and it bolsters people like Pierre Pollivre, and I think we probably both agree that’s a bad thing

            Yes

            And you’re right to say we have housing issues. Getting rid of rent control was a poor choice in ontario. Corporate landlords are another. We have many vacant homes in Canada that should be filled. There are many things that need to change, and I am hopeful that these changes can be made before canada had 100 million in population

      Immigrants = scary 🥺

      Cons seriously need to come up with new talking points, trying to paint Carney as some kind of WEF great replacement agent clearly wasn’t a winning strategy.

      It isn’t? Drive by Hamilton or any other GTA city, shits unreal how expensive housing is and homeless is more pronounced post-covid since they opened the flood gates and reduced CRS requirements so that anyone with a pulse could get in. They only back pedalled now on resuming policies they had pre-covid, but the damage is already done…

        They want 100m by the end of the century no? You don’t think we can build infrastructure to support that in 75 years? I wasn’t saying now

          No I dont think so, because I have lost faith in provincial governments actually realizing that goal. They cater to nimbys and the status quo
