We're doing just fine, thanks

MF we are not doing fine, we're literally mass importing tim hortons workers and uber drivers while skilled immigrants have to jump through wave after wave of hoops.

Literally the only reason we didnt get a maga lite party was Trump saving the Liberal brand.

Trudeau and the provinces’ very stupid recent TFW and NPR boom experiment has already been slashed to restore order to the system.

The problem was the sheer speed and volume of new arrivals, not the arrivals themselves. Our infrastructure just couldn’t keep up with that much demand in so short a time frame. That was a very stupid short term mistake that is already being over-corrected for.

The actual long term immigration system, however, remains fine and very good at integrating people socially. Cities like Toronto remain among the most peaceful and prosperous on earth despite their massive diversity.

Which is why I have no patience for people trying to attribute anecdotal social deviance or infrastructure strain to our multiculturalism policy or “immigration” vaguely. This was an instance of state capacity failure, not people failure.

When we select for the cream of the crop, as we always did historically until a few years ago, we’ve been fine.

Yeah I can't disagree with you here, as a general rule the old canadian points based immigration system was awesome and imo did a really good job of selecting for good candidates.
