At a time when we in :Britain: are complaining about foreigners usurping our jobs, Canada has reached a major milestone, whereby ... for only the second occasion in its history ... its workforce has become almost totally reliant on immigrants.

And that's because, an increasing number of older Canadians are choosing to retire much earlier than had previously been the custom ... then replaced by much younger immigrants.
