"I've heard enough" as they were explaining... When you want to understand you listen to the whole truth vs fish for the facts you want to hear to reinforce a narrative. There probably is a problem but we can't know "barn" or "bread basket" if we don't hear the explanations.

Maybe with a new, and NOT Liberal, government, family breadwinners can earn enough so that Canadians can affort to have the children that will make it not so necessary to import workers. It wouldn't be so bad if immigrants (not all - I know) didn't bring all their frustrations and anger from their home with them into our society. Currently immigration causes way too much friction and divisivness in Canada. They bring their problems with them They need to solve those issues in their home countries. We don't need those problems to be faught here in our peaceful country.
