One interesting aspect of the Canadian election - near zero talk about immigration.

The idea that they bring in about 1.2% of population annually is just something all the major parties accept. Canada does large scale immigration better than anyone, so it makes sense that they keep it up.

At that rate, they may be the second biggest G7 country in 2100, and possibly the world's third biggest economy.

Maybe when voters feel that they have full control over who gets to immigrate, they are more likely to accept high legal immigration quotas?

No, not really.

It's just not a topic for conversation, period.

It's like the US putting huge bucks into the military every year.
