Canada is embarking on a trade agreement with India and collectively our greatest fear is the immigration issue. Canada's immigration is already quite lop-sided.

Canadians don't seem to have their priorities straight if they are more concerned about having a few more Indian neighbors than the US threatening to invade.

> Canada's immigration is already quite lop-sided.

I don't even understand what "lop-sided" means here.

Would you say that Canada's oil and softwood businesses are lop-sided because we produce and export a lot of it? Or that the groceries' market is lop-sided because we don't produce a lot of it and therefore have to import?

Canada is an importer of people (not only from India) because it can't produce a lot of people. It is not different from groceries.
