Smelling the roses is lovely. Canada is not all that wealthy really, I believe this country has slipped to 14th place in living standards. It also has real unemployment estimated to be around 17%, stagnant or even declining real wages, a housing crisis and a healthcare crisis. Economists are also warning that 30 to 40% of existing jobs may disappear by 2030. It is not an appropriate time to be packing the country with additional people. Immigration should be cut to near zero.
