the foreign born subset of the petite bourgeoisie in canada is a more conservative and more aggressively competitive subset of the petite bourgeoisie than the domestically born nouveau riche, as the aristocratic class uses advanced data and technological screening methods in their immigration policy to isolate potential migrants as conservative and competitive with the explicit intend to expand the petite bourgeoisie, as that broadens their tax base. liberal and conservative governments pick new immigrants with the intent of them becoming new members of the petite bourgeoisie, which is a marxist term that is largely equivalent to the capitalist term "entrepreneur", because they want to tax them as bourgeois, and not as proletariat. 

the disconnect is that the canadian pseudo-left relies almost entirely on american analyses that use american economic data. however, the united states has very rarely adopted similar policies. immigration policy in the the united states is largely a legacy of slavery and is primarily intended to increase the size of the proletariat in order to drive down wages, not to increase the size of the petite bourgeoisie to increase the tax base. canadian immigration policy is rooted not in hispanic/arabic slavery but in british colonialism, which sought to populate new regions with free british citizens that could generate their own wealth, with the purposes of taxing them.

if the canadian pseudo-left wants to reconnect with the canadian proletariat, it needs to start by using canadian economic data that is relevant to the canadian proletariat, and stop relying on american data and stop trying to apply distinctly american social theories that are rooted in the legacy of slavery and are not relevant in canada.
