To be fair to Trudeau every party is trying to buy votes with the PR for relatives lottery. Bernier actually had the biggest numbers of any of the parties last time around, and O'Toole sneakily promised to increase the numbers the last time around.
Like it or not, our government has convinced people to immigrate to Canada by pitching it as a great place for their family with a social security net including healthcare.
Every immigrant in the country believes that means their entire family. Especially their parents and grandparents, and especially when their health begins to fail.
Immigrants (apart from the fundamentalist muslims) don't really care about the overall immigration rate, it's the family re-unification immigration that's critical to them and no one has a hope of winning an election without increasing that stream.
There isn't a party in the country who isn't fully committed to family reunification immigration, no matter how much of a strain it is on our systems nor how matter it nullifies any of the economic benefits that come from immigration.
It's just one of those things that all parties have to embrace if they want a chance at winning an election at this point.
Family reunification is a very popular stream with very low numbers admitted, and it's first-come first-served.
A smarter man than I would sell a program that uses bots to get people to the front-of-the-line when the website opens. I'm amazed that the scalpers haven't caught onto that demand.
People only want to move their parents here when their health is failing which makes it hard to get them into the country based on the amount allowed in alone.
Family reunification is a small percentage of the people that we bring in but that's the program that strongly motivates voters.
No one wants to hear about their parents' decline and death occurring on the other side of the planet where they couldn't visit them, comfort them or supervise their care.
Absolutely, the entire system would be even more overwhelmed than it is already.
I don't know which dummy originally came up with the idea of "import immigrants to pay for the healthcare of the boomers" but whomever it was undoubtedly loathed his parents.
As it turns out, immigrants have parents, love them and that being able to help them when their health is failing is incredibly important to them.
Immigration is no solution to the problem of having a low birth rate.
