Canada’s population reaches 35 million, fastest growing in the G8

That is false.

After having visited many over-populated countries, I find that there is a certain level of service, safety, sanitation, and overall quality of life that comes with living in a more modestly populated nation. While it is great to have a growing population and economy I hope that it doesn't mean that our Canadian values will suffer as a result.

According to craigslist's rants and raves section, immigrants are ruining the country for whites. They're not going to like this info...

But whatever, massive immigration's all good as long as it helps pay for all those Boomer entitlements and enriches their investment portfolios, right?

[Electro Rock]

Care to give some examples? Also, how old are you? What cities have you had the chance to see rise and then fall due to immigration? How many generations Canadian are you?

Either they pay for it or you do, sonny.

Not literally forced to be dishwashers, but they wouldn't be able to ply their trade. Thus they would be forced to take other jobs in the mean time.

Immigrating to Canada and having your credentials recognized is needlessly too complicated.

I really don't mind all the immigration but it irks me they all seem to come from one of 3 countries.

India is one, China is another.

Can you guess the third country?

The lion's share of highly skilled immigrants coming to North America tend to go to a certain country located between Canada and Mexico, and of the ones who do come to Canada, Ontario and specifically Toronto seems to benefit most from these.

Vancouver seems to attract a lot of immigrants with money (and often questionable at that) but not much in the way of skills or inclination towards creating world class industries and not just investing in real estate or local retail.
