I don’t see it that way. Most immigrants are hardworking, fantastic people, and frankly we need the extra hands. But when our government is privatizing and selling off all our assets to outside interests, we all lose.
Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.
It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.
To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.
Its called capital shallowing. We need growth that can be absorbed organically, like what existed prior to the Liberals, but its being done desperately to hide falling GDP.
