<<A country has a certain amount of assets and when another person is brought in, those assets are diluted and ownership of them handed over to the immigrant>> For the majority of immigrants brought into Canada an upward spin of consumerism starts.Buy the first house, fix the starter house,furnish same, better furnish same, consume food, clothing ,school kids, first car, next and better car,next house, paying taxes on all, and goods and services taxes on all, up and up and some more.The rule of law will take care of the ones that step out of line. And what do the retired bludgers Maurice and GG do for their country?...now that we have done all that ,consume resources and bitch how hard we have it, and how crowded the roads are. Your tradable citizenship idea is, in your words "dopey," and would only apply to the world's monied elite.And what do the majority of the world's monied elite do?? ..sit in the sun, add, not much, and worry about getting their 12 percent from Made off. Maurice, you need your very own country to rule.I think it would be broke like the rest in a few years, and running 100 billion deficit.
