    the canadian minister of immigration recently admitted that they should have slowed down on immigration sooner.

    A politician pandering to the Right doesn’t make it true.

    housing and job market crisis aren’t there for no reason, and it’s partly due to immigration.

    Nope. Nobody’s forcing employers to exploit immigrants desperate enough to work for less due to fewer opportunities and less support.

    Likewise, housing is much more expensive than simple demand would dictate. Landlords aren’t charging as much as is fair all things considered, or even as much as people can generally afford. They’re charging the absolute maximum that they can get away with, which is usually more than people can afford.
