Breaking economic news from Canada, their per capita GDP is less than that of Alabama! Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the rending of raiment.
See this series of reactions posted by Ed Driscoll at Instapundit. An apparent Canadian responded thusly (NSFW).
We imported millions of people from third world shitholes and now our country is turning into a giant third world shithole. How is that possible?
Possible? It is very nearly unavoidable.
The accompanying graph shows more than a quarter of the Canadian populace is foreign born. The US has problems and our foreign born are only maybe 15% (and recently declining).
Acculturation takes time, time we hope we have. Canada’s lump of the foreign born may be indigestibly large.
