Did you read the article? The professor isn't proposing "mass immigration." How many people let into the country is not part of her argument. She is proposing extracting more value from the new Canadians we already have here. She referenced the U of T study that shows professional job applicants with Asian sounding names don't get calls backs at same rate as WASPs. She suggests tapping into this talent pool and using it to form new trade bridges to countries around the world -- other than the U.S.
Funny how just the word "immigrant" sends people into their default rants about "mass immigration."
