So you realize the problem didn't start with immigration, yet that's where you put your focus? The outcry should be against policies that promote exploitation of workers, regardless of where they are from. That by itself would stop any excess immigration equitably, without dehumanizing anyone by going back on our word and treating them like garbage.

If they were treated humanely it would still be a shortage, you need to build homes FIRST and then increase immigration. Or else you hurt those without assets. Nobody is blaming immigrants themselves except your poor attempt at an ad hominen argument.

What ad hominem argument? I directly responded to the substance of your comment (specifically the premise that we start with immigration even though your comment contained an acknowledgement that was not the cause of Canada's economic troubles). I said nothing about you directly or your motivations. If you're going to ignore relevant criticism, there's no point continuing this conversation.
