Immigration is good in general and inevitable on mass scale. People will not understand why they are confined to a single country from birth.
Death is inevitable too, but not wise to welcome it.
Like I said, being bound to the country of your birth is cruel unfairness comparable to slavery.
Housing prices have gone up a lot even in places with low immigration and low population growth.
There isn't a point to this article, it just reiterates the PDF, tacks on some half-baked thoughts about the upcoming election then admits that other countries with less immigration are going through the same problems.
>I have been traveling in Canada recently, and much of it is nearly unrecognizable from even a year ago. Urban sprawl has exploded around major cities like Toronto and Ottawa, with new developments appearing so fast that even residents can't keep track.

That would be awesome if it were even approximately true. In fact it is not, and that's the main problem with this amount of immigration. There is already a housing supply crisis, brought about by not enough housing supply being built. In the middle of it, immigration shoots up 3-5 fold, depending on how you're counting. That is an absurd policy, and cannot be sustained.

So much new housing has been built in the last year in Canada that Canada is now unrecognizable? That is unmitigated bullshit.
