General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

Canada's annual Immigration Levels Plan, tabled by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada under section 94 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA, 2001), sets multi-year admissions targets across economic, family and humanitarian streams. From 2015 the Trudeau Liberal government raised targets sharply, reaching about 500,000 permanent residents per year by 2025 alongside large temporary-resident inflows. The intended effect is to expand the labour force, stabilise demographics, and underpin housing, services and tax bases.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
