Can we have an adult conversation about the immigration issue?

The only official answer we’ve gotten from the government is that it is a “supply and demand” issue, in summation. The only plan is to build a few thousand low-income housing units and this will solve the problem apparently.So what the fuck are we going to do with the 400,000 new humans coming into the country every year until 2023? I keep seeing people downvoted or shamed for bringing this up, saying we’re “long overdue” and pointing out countries with higher immigration rates and less land mass when:Canada’s habitable and arable areas are only a few percent of its vast (9.2 sq km) territory.Jun. 30, 2017andThe new 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan will see Canada target over 400,000 new immigrant arrivals per year which is the highest targets in its history. Express Entry draws are occurring regularly and last week, Canada exceeded 100,000 Express Entry immigration invitations for the first time ever.Dec. 14, 2020That is not something to brush off, it is a big fucking deal and I feel like there are so many issues on the horizon my head will explode.Unless the vast majority are above millionaire status and can afford housing here… Aren’t these housing units just being built for them?It sounds like even 10% of that figure requiring lower income housing will more than fill up these new developments?So either we have a worsened wealth inequality with tons of new millionaires or we have more people requiring housing the government is not prioritizing building.Can we discuss this without calling each other racists? As some have said, it wouldn’t matter where they are coming from, it’s an issue of not having enough housing for the people already here… As per the government.I’m by no means an expert on these topics so please correct any mis-info where you see it. This post is not meant to be some kind of rally against minorities in Canada already dealing with racist bullshit. This is post is for an open discussion about concerns with immigration and supply and demand, if anyone cares to have it. via /r/canadahousing https://ift.tt/3tHjQCn
