Hmmmmm, strange. I've been repeatedly reassured by Many Smart Supply Siders that there is very little influence by foreign investment and immigration on housing and rental prices.

No more immigration?

No, more immigration!

The fact that one of those articles referring to immigration as "Trudeau's weapon against (economic problem)" should make the game glaringly obvious to even the most softhearted diversity is our strength liberals that this is not altruism but an effort to keep wages down past the point where people can't have loving kids in this country, but because the immigrants are not coming from Northern Ireland and the Scottish Marches somehow Canadian culture war takes precedence, for both sides.

Yeah Conestoga College and others blatantly saying they plan to use immigration as a revenue stream should give the game up. or the fact that many of these new petty bourgeois are using these exploitative policies to build up wealth based on crushing their “fellow immigrants”. Have you seen those ads for Indian young women to share rooms in someone’s basement yet? I’m sure that’s all above board fam don’t worry.

Relatedly, Canada’s migrant farm worker program was founded on ‘racist’ policies, new lawsuit alleges. And today’s workers are still paying the price

How 'racist' are we talking here?

TorStar posted:

When Canadian government officials first considered requiring migrant farmworkers to work for a specific employer, they rejected the idea because they said it would amount to slavery.
“It would be contrary to the whole Canadian belief in freedom of the individual,” immigration minister Walter Harris said in 1952. Similar sentiments were expressed by Harris’s successors.
But in 1966, when the immigration minister of the day launched a new program for migrant agricultural workers, he ensured employer-specific work permits were an essential component.

What changed?
Prior to 1966, Canada relied on white, European workers to fill agricultural labour shortages.
When the government turned to the Caribbean to fill the same jobs, what became known as “tied” employment was suddenly crucial to avoid the potential for what one official called “racial problems.”

...

The lawsuit highlights some of the policy debates that preceded the SAWP, showing how Canadian government officials were trying to address their need for immigrant labour while guarding against “a substantial increase in negro immigration to Canada” and the “racial problems” they feared would accompany it.
Jean Marchand, Canada’s minister of manpower and immigration in Lester Pearson’s government, stressed in 1966 that any program that brought in workers from the Caribbean would need “strictly controlled conditions” to avoid “large-scale social problems,” according to the lawsuit.

Wow, that's pretty loving racist!

Interesting. Labour intensive ag like greenhouses and beekeeping in my area use lots of migrant labour. No citizen wants to handle heavy-rear end honey supers or picking cucumbers in a sweltering greenhouse for minimum wage (not to mention the commute to the farm). They seem to prefer SE Asians; presumably these are the "right type" of migrant worker, because they'll put up with overcrowded housing, endless work, and crap wages.

if one were to live in vancouver, and one was looking to get involved in (communist) party politics of some kind, does this thread have any advice?

precisely the only political action you are permitted to take is to cast one (1) vote each election cycle for the liberal party. a vote for any other party is tacit support for the conservatives who are going to kill all the minorities (inside our country), so the only moral action is to vote for the party that will only kill all the minorities (outside the country).

Hope this helps.

Join something targeted at specific issues that do concrete things like tenants organizations that help people with the funding and legal help against landlord abuse, things like that. It'll actually help people and help you forge connections with others that can point you in the right direction for political activity
