I think it’s fair to acknowledge the additional strain caused by immigration and to acknowledge that halting it would cool things down a bit, but also to recognize all of the additional moral and economic issues with doing so.

Canada needs immigration, and also has a moral duty to allow immigration from parts of the world we’ve helped to place in dire situations w.r.t climate and economy, and the solution is to better invest in housing and related infrastructure, but I think it’s alienating to people which can still be saved from falling into the right wing pipeline to ask them to deny that more people equals more demand.

Amputation is a way to deal with a rash, whether or not it’s the most logical way.
