Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fueled economic growth and plugged gaps in the labor market by ramping up immigration, but now new arrivals are straining public services and contributing to an overheating economy, economists say.
The problem with that approach is the foot-dragging from certifying bodies in giving these people a pathway to Canadian papers.
No, the problem is 40+ years of not expanding training to keep up with population growth.
Every single year the number of residencies is maxed out and doesn’t get increased. We are short of nurses but people with qualifying grades get rejected from nursing programs because there isn’t enough space. And where’s the call to expand schooling capacity? Fucking crickets from all sides.
You see, training people would cost money, which would mean taxing the wealthy to pay for schooling, and paying the people we train once they enter the workforce.
Immigrants we can get, by comparison, for free. And frankly, we get the win-win of depressing wages for everyone.
It bugs me because I’m largely pro-immigration, or at least I was until I saw what the wealthy use it for.
