I actually look at reports by the Bank of Canada that state how wage pressure was alleviated via immigration. I dont take Fox News as gospel.
Explain to me mechanically how flooding the market with labor doesnt depress wage pressure, I'd be curious how you think it works. Do jobs just spring up, despite the fact the infrastructure clearly doesnt exist to even house these people much less create new export markets?
Explain to me how your market is being "flooded".
Oh you've really been living under a rock. Well heres a fun game that the CBC made that shows he we tripled the immigration rate:

Oh jeez that is tragic, damn, it is too bad that Canada is probably the most land starved nation on earth. No space. Nope, sorry all fullllllllll up there!
It also sucks that you can't let any more immigrants in because when you have a problem as a nation and you pool more enterprising minds together to solve it actually it gets harder to solve because more new helpful people undermine the other helpful people, that is how people work. This is a serious cult I am part of and it is very scientific okay?
Also, are you of indigenous descent?
