The Canadian government just doubled down on immigration to attempt to bring in 500,000 new immigrants per year[0]. Note, this does not include other sources of immigration, such as students and other types of international work visas.

Since most immigration goes to the major Canadian cities of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, there is a serious impact on housing and services. For reference, it's as if the US government committed to bringing in over 5 million immigrants per year and putting them in the 5 biggest metro areas, without any increase in housing development, education or health care.

This is also probably why the health care system is collapsing, why educational quality is decreasing and why housing prices have sky-rocketed to some of the most unaffordable in the entire world.
