Frequently Asked Questions

How much immigration is "excessive"?

In general, immigration is excessive if it contributes to population growth. This contribution is measured relative to emigration, and it is sometimes called the migratory increase. The migratory increase equals immigration minus emigration.

Example: In 2022/2023, about 469k people immigrated to Canada and about 35k people emigrated from Canada. So, for 2022/2023:

Migratory increase = Immigration - Emigration = 469k - 35k = 434k.

This migratory increase of 434k was very excessive. At the time, it was greater than the population of Victoria, British Columbia!

Why are you against excessive immigration?

Because:

• It increases the price of housing. *
• It decreases our share of land and natural resources.
• It strains our public systems of healthcare, education, and transporation.
• It leads to poor urban planning, urban sprawl, and farmland loss.
• It leads to overcrowding, congestion, and stress.

Overall, it raises the cost of living and lowers our quality of life.

* By increasing the demand for housing beyond supply.
