Person A: I support high levels of immigration.
Person B: Weren't you complaining about wages being too low? High levels of immigration directly impact wage growth in a negative way.
Person A: Yeah, but we don't have enough people to care for and replace baby boomers, so we need those immigrants.
Besides telling boomers to get rekt, what's your initial response?
Obviously, it's hypocritical to dissuade citizens from having children, and then turning around and saying we don't have enough people so we need more immigrants.
But I feel like I'm missing something here and can't quite put my finger on it.
I remember showing how strict immigration is in Mexico to someone and they were shocked. In theory Canada has skills based immigration right?
Skill based, and if you have any type of criminal record, they'll deny you automatically, just off the top of my head.
I also recall antecedent mentions of immigrants always constantly getting checked by Mounties, much more than they ever did living in America.
There's old 'askreddit' threads floating around about redditors trying to emigrate to Canada post-Trump election and getting rudely introduced to reality.
