US EditionJD Vance blames immigration for Canada's 'stagnating' living standards
Vance attributes Canada’s stagnant GDP per capita growth to its high immigrant population and immigration policies criticized as prioritizing diversity over assimilation.
- Last Friday, U.S. Vice‑President JD Vance posted on X criticizing Canada’s political leadership, the public broadcaster CBC, and calling the immigration system `immigration insanity` causing `stagnating` living standards.

- The post included a chart from Ice Cap Asset Management, Halifax comparing growth in living standards from 2016 to the present, with analyst Richard Dias adding a one-word `agreed` comment; CBC News has asked Ice Cap for more detailed metrics but received no response.
- In an emailed statement, the government said it `is restoring control to the immigration system` and Diab's office added immigration will attract the world's `best and brightest` to fill critical labour gaps.
- Canada has the highest foreign‑born share in the G7, with recent immigrants' unemployment at 11.1 per cent last year, about double that of Canadian‑born workers.
