This high Immigration policy reminds me of China's campaign against the sparrow (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0306422018800259 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03064220188002...) and its one child policy. Total disasters. The bureaucrats tried to solve one problem but ended up creating new problems that were far worse.
- aaomidi 3y agoI feel like comparing this to the systemic killing of sparrows is not...correct.
- tharmas 3y agoThe similarity is in not thinking about unintended consequences of govt policy. Solve one problem but create another (or more), which might even be worse. The cure being worse than the disease, as it were. The Canadian govt sought to solve a demographics problem but have created a massive housing affordability problem. What with the climate in Canada, proper housing is a serious necessity.
