A new report says Canada’s housing crisis and the strain on social services could get worse as the country’s population continues to surge.

The TD Bank research notes 1.2-million people were added to Canada’s population over the last year — a portion of that due to record immigration.

I’m absolutely in favour for building better social supports for new comers and people below the poverty line, but immigration is not the source of the problem. Suppressed wages are not going to change with increasing social supports or restrictions on immigration. Change will only come about with hard organized resistance against the minority who profit off the backs of the majority.
