Canada

The Globe has a great editorial on immigration and infrastructure:

a “hard rule” in which population intake does not exceed the growth in the housing stock, the job market and the availability of doctors.

There is merit to that approach, although the emphasis should be on using permanent residency as a tool to ease shortages of specific skills, such as doctors.

Housing advocates (like Mike Moffat) have been calling for that kind of linkage for years. The bad news? It's Poilievre that's suggesting it. Here's hoping Lemmy and Canadian politicians can take the idea and run with it, despite the current advocate.
