This article is not "news". It is just a leftist propaganda piece. The last thing Canada needs is more immigration, especially from its current sources. We should move toward ending immigration and trying to digest the people we have here now.  If we have a "labour shortage" how come the official unemployment rate is over 7%? When you add the large number of uncounted unemployed (the government figures only count those currently collecting benefits) the true figure is probably over 10%. Big business juts wants a pool of cheap labour to keep wages low. Another unconsidered factor is the effect of immigration on Quebec. As it share of the population slides this reinforces separatist pressures. Love sky-high prices for homes? Love gridlock? Then immigration is your baby.
