This crossed my mind too ... question is: do you really need more immigrants? We do, but only in specific areas: health care and skilled trades come to mind. Employment is up in Canada; construction and infrastructure projects are healthy. But do you guys need more bodies over there? I think I'll take a look at how Australia and New Zealand deal with immigrants. Maybe they are like us: if we need you, welcome; if we don't, have a nice day. Those of us who are lucky enough to be citiizens have first dibs on the national wealth.
Oh, and just in case any think that we lack generosity and compassion, take a look at our record in foreign aid and emergency aid.
