I'm not saying supply & demand doesn't count, I'm questioning why you're so focused on the demand incurred by immigration and not landlords are the wealthy artificially limiting supply for their bottom line. Immigrants are not to blame for our woes, it's always the ruling class.
I'm not attacking you, I don't know you, I'm just trying to respond to what you said in your comment. I'm not sure where you read a personal attack in my comments (if I recall, you're the one who called me a "dummy") but sincerely sorry if anything I said bothered you.
I don't care (in the context of this conversation, anyway) whether you're a right-winger trying to stir anger against immigrants or a left-winger who's been submerged in so much right-wing rhetoric from the mainstream media that it's infecting your worldview (which, hey, it happens to the best of us).
You're parroting right-wing framing that immigrants are at the root of the issue when in reality they're victims suffering just as much (and often more!) than the rest of us. That's what I'm addressing. You'll just have to trust me when I say that I haven't formed a negative opinion of you as a person based off of one interaction on Lemmy.
I've never been really into nationalism. Even then, I'm francophone so my relationship to Canadian identity is complicated to say the least, and I'd much earlier identify as Acadian than Canadian. At least as an Acadian I can be proud that we've maintained our culture throughout centuries of attempts to assimilate us. Most "proud Canadians" I know are just kinda xenophobic. Either that or they're immigrants who worked hard for their citizenship, in which case I feel that's more pride in themselves than pride in the country.
