The increase in immigration has just made the holes in our infrastructure more obvious. We've had decades of under investment in public sectors including transit, housing, and healthcare. With the increase of immigration, the immigration became a convenient excuse for these holes we can complain about and point fingers at instead of actually patching these holes.
The only real conversation I've seen about the holes (and immigration) are that the holes need to be fixed. I haven't seen sustained complaints about the people immigrating or immigration itself.
My media diet is pretty centre: G&M, CBC, the Guardian, and Lemmy.
