I feel like the causality is wrong here.
Immigration (and changes in the targets) isn't the problem. Start fixing the systemic problems and Canadians will continue to welcome newcomers. And we'll be happier overall.
Canada does have issues with racism that should be addressed, but I don't think that's directly related to feelings about immigration for most Canadians.
We need to build a country that can support the increased immigration. That means building denser and more affordable apartments and homes. It means investing in transit to move people. It means investing in healthcare to care for our population. It means investing in manufacturing and other sectors to ensure job growth and keep Canada producing things. Instead our politicians are using immigration as cheap labour while we keep growing the housing bubble and stagnate on production.
Agreed.
