This was an eye-opener for me. Less temporary foreign workers do construction than the general population? Seriously?

one simple answer might be don't import people who need housing without first making sure the housing is available

Ah, but who will build it? Obviously not immigrants. What if you build housing, but then they can't afford it? What if they're underhoused where they came from, too? And then of course, if we don't take in immigrants and the economy goes in the toilet, all the housing there is might get pretty run down for the elderly Canadians still left.

If you actually read the article, you'll see several examples of how it's complex.
