The growth in housing in Ottawa, for example, is driven by immigration, to the point that young Canadians are being priced out of the market due to the excessive market demand created by federal immigration policy, and that in turn stems no doubt from corruption, as in donations from developers to politicians of all stripes. There was an article in the NP on Saturday last on the subject of where the demand is from. To pay for the housing,  immigrants often bring  in precious metals  and jewellery and evading financial controls, while Canadians have to save despite the odds of surviving draconian tax laws that are progressive, as in progressively racheting down their real after tax earnings.

Meanwhile, in Japan for example, productivity is high and the country does not welcome immigrants, , and the Japanese aren't constantly told that they are all immigrants which is what the immigrants tell Canadians born here. Or else. No other country on earth has to put up with this insanity.
