>“More people means lower wages” is an over simplified reduction
I agree with you it 100% is. There are a dozen reasons why this is happening. Canada's government is to blame for a lot of it, but even the reality of the market is also to blame. You immigrated to the Bangladesh of this continent, and are surprised they can't manage their economy?
>In your example, we could increase productivity by investing in more cotton gins
But they aren't. Canadian investment in their workers' productivity is abysmal. It is worse than that, even. Using the same example, they are keeping the people working on cotton processing, and reducing the planted cotton field while hiring more people to work a smaller field. Why? Because the people running the farm couldn't manage a Wendy's, much less a country. Hell, they elected someone who fucked up the UK's economy. Our hat is retarded. They don't think logically. If the US said water is required to live, the Canadians would claim water kills you. And water fountains would have Brawndo in it the next day.
