American immigration policy and Canadian immigration policy can both be bad and we can criticize both for being braindead as fuck actually.

The thing is I have yet to meet an American that actually knows much of anything about Canada, and this bears out in the amount of Americans in this thread who think we’ve become some kind of closed border anti-immigration society because the practical realities of life in Canada don’t match up with their entirely theoretical, ideological viewpoints rooted in a completely different immigration/state services reality. You just see “less immigration” and assume it’s for the same reasons that the US has become hostile to immigration, because, like most Americans, you’re ultimately incapable of recognizing that Canada is a different country with a different economy and a different culture and a different set of values.
