@AlbertaLeonidas@PierrePoilievre@MRolly19 3) And housing is still a mess, immigration or not. Bad zoning policies that artificially reduces the supply, red tape, higher taxes and shrinking workforce. This is a Made-in-Canada problem and Millenials are being robbed off their future
@MartinJCorr@PierrePoilievre@MRolly19 LOL so u not only don't understand basic econ(supply and demand) but you think that bringing in mass immigration does not drive inflation?
u must be a civil servant or in a union with such lack of basic knowledge
@AlbertaLeonidas@PierrePoilievre@MRolly19 2)More people = more demand, so inflation goes up, but more people in the workforce = lower wages, so demand drops & inflation goes down. Situation shifts both curves and inflation might stabilize higher or lower. Bottom line is, the picture is more complex than you think.
@AlbertaLeonidas@PierrePoilievre@MRolly19 Doesn't matter what I do for a living, but let me school you on a bit of economics. Population growth and inflation aren't as tightly connected as you think: inflation was higher in the 1980's while Canada had a smaller population.
@KatKanada_TM@PierrePoilievre Yes it can. Immigration has very little to do with the housing mess Canada's in. You're basically trying to fix a supply issue by lowering the demand. Lowering immigration won't solve those extra "gatekeeping" housing costs, or lower interest rates
@PierrePoilievre This must be addressed along with putting a moratorium on immigration.
Can Canada sustain half a million people coming in every year over the next 3 years?
@ztisdale@PierrePoilievre Immigration has very little to do with the housing mess Canada's in. You're basically trying to fix a supply issue by lowering the demand. Less immigrants won't solve the extra costs issues, or lower interest rates. Nice try with the anti-immigrant, xenophobic rhetoric, tho.

@Bourdain@Bourdain Not having a fit over it, but never liked being called a Frenchie. We're French Canadians. As my grandpa put it, Frenchies were the guys up on those cliffs who gunned down his brother back in Normandie when Canada had to bail out France for the 2nd time in 30 years
