It’s not just “mass” immigration, it’s any immigration. I have been asking this question for 50 years. All of the excuses for it are weak, and particularly so when immigration from “non-traditional” sources are the prime target population. Immigration is the reserve army of capital. It provides a surplus of labour, thereby suppressing wages and working conditions. It is a new “market” for capital and increases the “competition” for resources, whether food, housing, and other. It allegedly “creates jobs” but in reality most are small businesses catering to the ethnic group of the the business owner – more akin to a form of colonization. If it is a franchise, it is jobs for the family and relatives. It alters the political landscape, particularly when the citizenship requirements are lowered, then not enforced when breached. The massive shift came 35 years ago with the then “Conservative” (they can’t identify what they are conserving beyond an airy-fairy notion called “values”) government began setting not related to anything immigration “targets” rather than using the already manipulated unemployment rates as a guide.
– Jobs Canadians won’t do: Really? More like jobs Canadians won’t do for the lousy wages and working conditions offered, often breaching employment laws.
– Skills needed: Really? Are you saying Canadians are stupid? Maybe you are commenting on the dismal state of our education system.
– Free trade decimated our manufacturing base and killed many Canadian retail businesses in order to make way for the US “Big Box” stores.
The “diversity” and “multiculturalism” lie started in the 1960s with “Official Bilingualism” which in reality was primarily French speaking Quebeckers, who barely spoke English, being promoted for being “bilingual” rather than being competent. That just shifted to “non-traditional immigration sources”, many of whom are unintelligible in English or French.
Canada has been circling the toilet bowl for over 40 years with ever decreasing quality of life and standard of living. The end is near.
