> See what happens if you allow mass immigration.

Sweden, Canada and others have already done that experiment.



Sweden, one of the best places to live? Hell yeah dude! Canada, also one of the best places to live? Also hell yeah dude!


Canada, most expensive housing on earth and 20% GDP per Capita decline in the last decade...

Sweden, constant riots and exponential increase in crime...

Edit - Canada is an OK place to live, it's definitely become far worse in my lifetime though (mainly because of affordability). The plus side is tons of nature, if you're into that (I live in a mountain town but if I leave this town it's for Europe, not anywhere else in Canada).


Before immigration, was Sweden one of the worst places? And immigrants saw how poorly it was doing, thought to themselves "we must help them", and moved there to do just that?


As far as I know it is, remains, and hasn't changed from being one of the top 5 countries to live on the planet.


What is the direction Sweden is going? Is it getting better with the immigration it is doing? Or are things starting to look worse on some indicators?
