1/ Diane Francis offers several good arguments against accepting 1M immigrants in the next 3 years, as the Trudeau government is planning to do.
But our leftist elites don’t want a rational discussion. Their only argument is that it’s “racist” to want lower immigration levels.

2/ Francis: “This 1M — half of whom are family immigrants and not economically free-standing immigrants — is unsustainable. Equivalent to the population of both Ottawa and Edmonton, that’s a lot of health care, educational costs, infrastructure pressure, and housing shortages.”
3/ Francis: “The Liberals claim that the huge increase in immigration is required to fill skills shortages. But nearly half of those admitted won’t be working, perhaps ever, and wouldn’t qualify to be admitted as economic immigrants with skills.”
4/ Francis: “The Liberals also add that more immigration is needed to boost the size of the country’s population overall. But the vast majority of new entrants will end up crowding into a handful of already-crowded cities.”
5/ Francis: “People should be given entry if they fill a job that a Canadian cannot perform. Instead, the Liberals are like an HR Department that recruits people then hopes they find jobs or match those already posted.”
