Gee Australia’s immigration is really out of hand!

Diversity is our strength 🇨🇦
Debt slave import. Canada has a permanent exit program (opiate assisted suicide) for when you reach debt saturation.
Are there any stats on the countries of origin for the new imports?
India & China mostly for Aus at least.
We issued 281k student visas last year, can’t find it now but I recall ~170k of those were Indians and as everyone knows that system is being abused for cheap labour. 
I'd say there has also been a significant burst from Latin America, from my anecdotal evidence, of seeing/hearing heeeeaps of spanish-speaking folks around Adelaide.
Not that it matters much to me... because I am also an immigrant as a dirty yank 😅
But a dual-citizen and been in Oz for 12yrs now. US/AU are basically synonymous in culture, so it doesn't feel like we're that different beyond accents.
Although, recently I have found, since Trump, a growing animosity towards Americans lol
Haven’t seen much of that in Melbourne, mostly Indian & Chinese & Vietnamese here.
You triggered my memory though, remember when the Spanish-speaking student was working a cashie at a Woodville pizza shop and didn’t want to tell anyone, and blueblood Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier having zero worldly experience thought Adelaide had developed Supercovid that could be passed by pizzaboxes so she locked everything down in a few hours and wreaked absolute mayhem rather than think someone might not want to tell the Gov they were working illegally? Good times..
"The program isn’t just a silly plan where the government is guaranteeing its own liabilities. It’s also one where the government is attempting to hide the true cost of borrowing by distributing interest across taxpayers."

But what's the end result? bubble pop or money die?
If they print and cause inflation it discounts the debt and people who have borrowed to the teeth get a cheap asset. If they try to stop inflation they wreck everyone who has borrowed.
We were conservative and bought an old smaller house to minimise debt. We plan to put on an extension, we spoke to a builder in 2020 at the start of covid who said it would be about 50k, but by the time we got plans drawn and a quote it's over 200k now.
They prop up the housing Ponzi killing the dollarydoo until they fuck something up and it breaks in a way that their bandaids can’t fix, then it pops.
We will end up with the worst of both worlds.
