Anyone who can code is fleeing this country en masse and the government's response is to bring more people in from abroad to address the "skills shortage". This depresses wages further, because the government views us as interchangeable cogs in a machine.
This causes GDP per capita to shrink as we bring in several less-efficient people to do the work of one. GDP per capita has gone from over 90% of the USA in the 80s to 73% now.
I don't believe Canada deserves this. We're a first-world developed country that my ancestors spent centuries building that is actively reducing our living standards so we can compete against WITCH.
I visited the American Jewish History museum in Philadelphia recently, and they had a recreation of a flophouse from the 1920s with a 100 sqft bedroom in which a recent immigrant doing manual labour would live.
My classmates in the 2020s that are immigrants are paying most of their income to split that room in two.
I'd rather go to a museum in my country and tell my kids how much better their lives will be than mine. I want to give back to the community that raised me.
