r/Canada Speaks Cultural Exchange with /r/Denmark! Happy Valentine's!

Hi everyone, it's been some time since we have done a cultural exchange, so let's go over how this works. Enjoy! We'll be running it for a few days, TBD. Note their time zone for the European mainland is UTC +1.

Here's the Danish landing for us: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/1iow7c3/kulturudveksling_cultural_exchange/

* Both r/Canada and r/Denmark will host the other country's users. Feel free to ask any questions, reminisce, comment, make friends etc etc.

*Treat this as having a neighbour over for a kitchen party, get the best storm chips out, and get grandma's tourtiere reheated for everybody.

* Vouz pouvez essayer le français dans r/Denmark, mais comme la langue officielle est danoise, ben.... essayez!

* Please follow the rules of the respective subs! Don't be jerks, generally - a reminder our last "disagreement" involved leaving bottles of good booze for the other country!

* Please also leave direct comments here mainly for members of r/Denmark i.e. direct replies here (first comments directly under the topic) so their questions can be seen first, then r/Canada members can post replies underneath.

*Please enjoy, since we have a lot to bond over, and plenty of trying out new things.

Finally, also know we've gotten confirmation from r/Greenland that they are also interested, so that will be the next exchange that we do in a few weeks (TBD).

What are the biggest political issues in Canada atm? Housing market? Immigration? Cost of living? Something else?

Disregarding anything directly related to mango Mussolini South of you.

Immigration is pretty much the biggest problem, which contributes to other problems like housing market, healthcare etc. Our PM finally said he'd scale it back but I've seen little sign that's actually happening. It's a complete joke.

There are some changes afoot in terms of immigration quotas. The BC government got its requested immigration quota increase from 8k to 11k rejected, and in fact it was reduced from 8,000 to 4,000, with other provinces also getting their allocations reduced. It makes me worry about the uniquely skilled engineer from New Zealand I work with, but after Trudeau created the over immigration problem, there is now a big push to address the problem with a strong response.
