Of course. Canadians are still getting poorer every year and that's the salient point.

Sure, but expanding the definition of “Canadian” to include people who were already poor is a bit different from people who were already Canadian becoming poorer.

I don't think the average migrant salary is much different from the average UK citizen salary. Then again, I also don't find the "financialisation" argument very compelling. Plus, the GDP per capita visibly does not go down every year.

> GDP per capita does not go down

It does in Canada, I think that’s what he meant

It doesn't go down every year in Canada either.
