ICYMI Atique – Shattered dreams on Canada Day: Broken immigration promises are based on false narratives

Classic example of academics in denial about the impact of excessively high levels and their impact on housing, healthcare and infrastructure, and all too quick to label corrections as xenophobic:
Restricting immigration will not fix Canada’s systemic social and economic problems.
Temporary migrants like international students, who are members of our communities, are facing greater barriers, inequalities and uncertainty due to Canada’s abrupt policy changes.
The question remains as to whether Canada will pursue increasingly restrictive immigration policies or tackle divisive xenophobia? As Canadians mark Canada day, it’s worth reflecting on Canada’s past and how to build a more equitable and just future for all
