Graph of Canada's population vs worker productivity from FT.

Unsurprisingly, if you rapidly expand your population by importing millions of third worlders, per-worker productivity will go down.

The fact is we're not all equal. Canada's population is significantly smarter than the world average. Importing the rest of the world en-mass will inevitably degrade that advantage.

Making IQ tests a requirement for immigration would be a good start.

Maybe inflation is eating into GDP growth (see link). Also Agriculture’s contribution to GDP might be falling. Agriculture. And agriculture doesn’t need high IQ : https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/gdp-constant-prices

Correlation isn’t causation. Productivity declines can come from many factors—bad policies, lack of infrastructure, or economic shifts—not just immigration. Also, IQ as a singular metric for immigration is both reductionist and historically problematic. Shouldn’t we focus on skills, adaptabi...
