That's not controversial at all among real life tim hortons Canadians. We don't have enough houses for immigrants right now. Or really any infrastructure for that matter. The facts do not lie.

Where do houses and infrastructure come from? Does the government wave a wand and they appear?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They could do that but the entire CPP is invested into REITs so it won't happen.

Are you implying houses are only built by immigrants

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Obviously not. Where do houses and infrastructure come from, though? Like, what's involved in the creation of these things.

They don't come from anywhere when your entire economy rides on inflated real estate values

Why do you refuse to answer the question I asked?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I literally don't know what you want from me
