Economists reveal politicians are morons

Ian McGugan has a long-overdue piece in the Globe today about Canada's disasterous immigration policy. Apparently some professors sporting Doctor Phils from prestigeous schools now say what I've been saying for over a decade; that continuously ramping up immigration without investing in the health care and educational infrastructure, let alone the housing to accomodate them, will not end well. Our housing crisis keeps getting worse. The health care system is on the verge of collapse. Too many high school graduates have grade school math skills but outrageously optomistic expectations about what society owes them. Canada's "strategy" going forward is to double down on failed policies. Keep bringing in unskilled labour to do the "dirty jobs" Canadians refuse to do. According to the article 60% of immigrants fall into that category. There's a reason Canadians don't want to do certain jobs. If you're going to live in abject poverty anyway, why bother? You can live in poverty without working! At the same time, those jobs look different if you're a Somali who's spent the last five years living ten to a 10x12 tent in a refugee camp in Kenya. Alas, looking to illiterate fruit pickers and chicken catchers to boost our economy seems a frightfully moronic policy. So, are our politicians morons? Or are they deliberately destroying our country?
