Like you just have to look at the distribution of immigration across different countries in the past 10 years to see that this isn't correct.

It was not the norm that 60% of all immigration was from a single country...

Additionally immigration has objectively increased at a time of large unemployment which used to not be allowed until the current government lifted the restriction on 6% unemployment.

You can have a mixture of opinions but we gotta stick to the facts first

It is not 60% from a single country, and it's not been that rapid of a change.

Here's the stats for you:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/12-581-x/2023001/sec2-en...

Asian origin (all of Asia including China and India) has been the dominant origin for immigration to Canada since 2006, and it has only changed from ~40% to ~50% since then.

India alone accounted for 27% of immigrants admitted to Canada on a temporary basis in 2022: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/co...

Now we can stick to the facts? Will you accept the facts or no?
