Is the declining QoL in the room right now?

No, it's in the increasingly growing tent cities in my town, and among the junkies that have taken over downtown Ottawa. Glad to hear you're doing well, though.

Sounds like a municipal or (perhaps) a provincial issue.

Housing is a municipal jurisdiction, healthcare is a provincial jurisdiction and immigration (direct, temporary, students, refugees) is a federal jurisdiction (except Quebec has its own immigration jurisdiction).

Bringing in millions of people in a short time without coordination with other jurisdictions to manage housing demands, healthcare demands and needed infrastructure upgrades was grossly incompetent.

Not quite on the epic scale of incompetence as Chairman Mao and eliminating the Sparrow (in terms of consequences) but equally as idiotic in terms of narrow minded thinking.

You're arguing that the immigrants are the reason ottawa has a drug and tent problem?

More people leads to more competition in the job market and housing space. There's no universe in which they are not linked. It's a natural consequence of near 20% population growth in a decade
