Unless all those 20 somethings start having kids at a rate of 4 per family, we need immigration to have economic growth. We need people buying houses, appliances and furniture. Old pharts like me don't even buy new rifles. To quote a popular Canadian commercial, "it's simple economics". Between economic growth and inflation, debt becomes less of an issue.
This is even more harsh, But government spending on infrastructure like sewers and roads has a 10x multiplier effect, where as military spending, even sourcing in country, has only a 4x multiplier effect. Since we don't have conscription, we rely on professional solders, labour costs in the military are high .
Welcome to the choices governments of any stripe have to make.
Do you think someone is going to invest in new housing for all these immigrants with todays interest rate hikes? The only one stupid enough is the government of Canada.
These immigrants will further erode our already stressed healthcare, schools, transportation, justice systems. Canada's top 25 most wanted are all immigrants.
We are going into a recession with massive immigration, smart.
