Canada's housing minister says the federal government isn't ruling out changes to its ambitious immigration targets, but maintains the country should also focus on what it can do to increase housing supply when it comes to addressing current housing challenges.

Where are we going to put 465k immigrants this year? then 485k next year then 500k in 2 years? In what schools all those kids will go? In what hospitals all those ill people will go? I understand we need immigrants, I'm one, but we are missing housing and all others services!

Well, now you've used the ladder to climb up, you should yank that ladder up and prevent others. Hypocrisy is fun, but it does expose your voting habits.

100%. It is interesting that we never see these numbers with context. Is always just "half a million immigrants coming in" but never numbers that give some perspective along with that such deficit of skilled labour needed per industry or a deficit of births (something in the lines of that). Is always out of context numbers that support people with the theoretic that immigration is the main issue and that immigrants are arriving to work on unskilled jobs.
