> I think high immigration is something most folks in Canada see as good ...

That's what many Canadians will express in public, just to keep their lives easier by avoiding false accusations of "racism"/"bigotry"/"xenophobia", by avoiding potential job loss or employment-related sanctions, by avoiding other forms of harassment, and so forth.

In private, and especially with people they trust not to attack them, the sentiment is often very different. They're well aware of the various negative impacts that immigration is causing, and has long been causing, to Canada and Canadians.

Well; that's certainly not my experience living in a Canadian city... with high housing prices and lots of immigration.

Not seeking to put you on the spot. I imagine there's a lot of variation in how people see things everywhere. But I'd certainly disagree with you. I appreciate the economic and cultural benefits of living in a growing, multicultural country. And I suspect given the number of people flocking to this city I'm not alone.

Has it really been causing? Or is it their perception, fuelled by those who profit from sowing discord?

In my country there is high (and rising) anti-immigration sentiment, despite the fact that immigrants don't commit more crime than natives, and are net contributors to social security.
