Members of the group Immigration Watch Canada took to the Blundell Road overpass in Richmond above Hwy. 99 early Wednesday morning to protest Canada’s immigration policy, blaming it in part for the Lower Mainland’s traffic woes.
The gathering of about a half dozen people unfurled a large, yellow and black-lettered sign stating “Fight gridlock: cut immigration” for northbound commuters to see.
Dan Murray, spokesman for the group said the level of immigration in Canada is unwarranted and wants the federal government to reduce the numbers, which he believed would help lessen the impact on city streets.
“More people, more cars,” said Murray. “Every two people who come in as immigrants bring another car onto the road. That’s how it works.”

Regardless of where they come from, there are to many people for the road systems in the lower mainland. Most of the roads were built for 1/4 the population that we now have in the GVRD.
Blame whatever you like but it solves nothing.

Canada should just start aggressively promoting immigration to smaller towns and cities in other provinces - after all, it's not like we have a land shortage, just that everyone want's to cram into certain cities.

They already do this, it's much easier to immigrate to Canada if you're willing to move to say PEI.. so what the rich immigrant families do is buy a house in PEI, claim as primary residence, then move to TO or Van and rent the PEI house out to whoever.

What about only granting citizenship application process privilege to those who actively work at an already established Canadian company in those cities (no more "investment" immigration) - only trade/work based immigration.
