With an inexpensive housing disaster in each main city middle, our well being care depending on life help machines, tens of millions with no major care physician and college class sizes already maxed out. and the price of dwelling is the best in a long time.

So how can Prime Minister Trudeau justify a yearly improve of 500,000 new residents, equal to the inhabitants of a giant Canadian metropolis?
