I remember in the early 2000s when I was a kid my neighbour was a youngish Mexican engineer that moved here and got a good job at a popular engineering company. The company was paying for his masters at UofT. He had a Canadian wife and they just bought the house next door and moved in and had a kid. They moved out 5 years later to a nicer house. Something tells me the same couldn't happen today.

But folks but we need MORE immigrants this year!
Probably as they go out to buy some more weed and booze, while considering what tattoo they will get next.
