Immigration is not necessarily a concern. But Canada afaik does not have multicultural immigration, we have a very narrow set of countries utterly dominating our immigrants. Personally I don't think that is a good thing, diversity is important, and we need to be better at balancing the mix of people that come here to avoid monoculture
- briga 4y agoHasn’t that always been the way it has worked? For the longest time Canadian immigration was restricted to the British isles and Western Europe (look up the Chinese immigration restriction acts). Compared to then Canada has pretty much opened the floodgates of immigration from all over the world. I don’t see the monoculture you’re suggesting, and regularly meet people from all over the globe here
- Dalewyn 4y ago"Diversity" for the sake of "diversity" is stupid and more importantly racism.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoCan you clarify what you mean by a narrow set of countries dominating immigrants? Is it disproportionate relative to the world population in general, disproportionate relative to all people migrating from one country to another?
- refurb 4y ago> But Canada afaik does not have multicultural immigration This is not correct. Toronto is 52% visible minorities. Even mid-sized cities like Calgary have big immigrant populations from Asia. When I visiting the wilderness of BC I actually ran into a guy who owned a fruit orchard who immigrated from India a few years back.
