… Under Mr. Trudeau, the Liberals have made high immigration a cornerstone of their economic agenda. They argue that not only will immigration lead to stronger growth, but it will also help fill jobs as Canada gets progressively older.
David Williams, vice-president of policy at the Business Council of British Columbia, said this is a naive view of how economies work. He pointed to a stagnation in gross domestic product per capita as a sign that average living standards were not improving, despite the high intake of newcomers. Furthermore, there is ample research that indicates immigration has little effect – positive or negative – on per-capita output or average wages.
“Canada’s immigration policy has really become disconnected from the academic evidence,” Mr. Williams said. “There seems to be a view in Ottawa that ever-increasing immigration levels is a panacea for all of the structural problems in Canada’s economy.”
The cranks from the Century Initiative are cited in the article. They’re a lobby group for Corporate Canada that seeks to ensure mass immigration will continue to create profitable shortages for their clients to exploit and ensure depressed wages.
It’s all a scam designed to benefit Big Business and their political minions, they’ll go to any lengths to keep the con going including accidentally “misplacing” a MILLION FOREIGNERS.
