At the crux of economic immigration policy is the question of whether immigrant selection should prioritize current labour market needs or the human capital of applicants. Does Canada need more farmhands and delivery riders, or do we want more scientists and tech workers?
For economists, the answer is simple.
Governments should rely on competitive markets to allocate labour to where it is most productive and focus immigration on raising the average skill level of the population.
We no longer live in that world.
Mass immigration is a weapon to keep wages depressed and citizens afraid & malleable.
The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory.
