Actually the quarterly numbers came out today.

Year over year, Canada grew by 1.2 million new residents. That's 20% higher than Trudeau's already absurdly high target of 1 million new residents.

This is an engineered crisis in the making.

It's a response to trump.

Canada needs a strong consumer market to respond when the US decides it doesn't like free trade

Canada’s economy runs on unrefined natural resources and housing. Without a domestic manufacturing sector all more consumers can do is keep the housing party going a while, that’s hardly a long term strategy. Might goose the numbers in advance of the next election though.
