The growing number of immigrants coming into Canada has been weighing on my mind lately. Some folks see it as a solution, but I can’t help but ask if we’re really ready for what comes with it. More accidents, more crime, and a strain on our resources—are we solving anything, or just piling on new problems?

We often hear that more immigrants are needed to keep our economy running smoothly. But I can’t help but question that perspective. Haven’t we managed to thrive in the past without such a high influx of newcomers? Is it possible that the real challenge lies in how we manage what we already have, rather than simply adding more people to the mix?

It makes me wonder—are we making choices that truly benefit us in the long run? Or are we missing something right in front of our eyes? Maybe we’ll see the truth in time, but the question remains: how far down this path will we be by then, and will there be a way back? GW
