Immigration has long been a polarising issue in the West but Canada mostly avoided it - until now. With protests and campaign groups springing up in certain quarters, some argue that this - together with housing shortages and rising rents - contributed to Justin Trudeau's resignation. But could Donald Trump's arrival inflame it further?

That is whataboutism and does not change the fact that immigration increases demand and results in higher prices.

Burying your head in the sand won’t change facts or voters minds.
