Couldn't this largely be explained by their importing huge amounts of low-income people?
- throwaway48476 2y agoOf course. Canadians are still getting poorer every year and that's the salient point.
- titanomachy 2y agoSure, but expanding the definition of “Canadian” to include people who were already poor is a bit different from people who were already Canadian becoming poorer.
- n4r9 2y agoI don't think the average migrant salary is much different from the average UK citizen salary. Then again, I also don't find the "financialisation" argument very compelling. Plus, the GDP per capita visibly does not go down every year.
- titanomachy 2y ago> GDP per capita does not go down It does in Canada, I think that’s what he meant
- n4r9 2y agoIt doesn't go down every year in Canada either.
