My ancestors were dirt farmers with absolutely nothing despite their health and work ethic that moved here in the 1930s. Do we think Canada is better than then?

We really, really under value the impact of low income, low education immigrants imo.

Eg. The railway that created this country was built by low income Chinese workers that probably didn't even speak English.

Canada doesn't exist without the effort of low income, low education people.

I was born Canada. Lived here my whole life. I'm ~40ish years old

It's absolutely become worse since the 80s

I get a lot of shit from my fellow countrymen when I say it. Rose colored glasses, etc

But nah. It's way harder to be successful here than it was even 20 years ago
