Canada’s population growth stresses need for social infrastructure action
(vancouver.citynews.ca)
As the article says, we're only surging in population due to record immigration. The government has control over this... Maybe slow it down a little bit while we build the services to accommodate all these people? But nope, need to bring in more meat for the grinder to continue suppressing wages like they have been for decades. "good for the economy and labour shortage" means exactly this. Good for big business profit margins and eroding worker bargaining power when it comes to wages.
It's especially relevant now that workers have found new will to fight back since covid and inflation problems.
