    Isn’t that the immigrant life?

    When did the culture go from immigrants working their own niche to immigrants asking for more support than the average citizen?

      Canada actively tries to find skilled immigrants in other countries, often countries with no concept of Canadian winters. I’m not saying that immigrants deserve “extra”, I’m saying if we’re going to spend money to try and bring in these highly skilled immigrants, we might as well ensure we keep our investment by preparing them for their first winter.
