C'mon guys this is such an easy win for us as a country. Justin went a little too far with his style of governing for a lot of you and now the liberals have voted this guy to be it's leader and new PM. This is who we want to lead us into the second half of the 20th century, this guy is so fucking smart. Pierre just sings slogans and simple pretty things that sound nice but in reality he's just going to sell us off to American interests and cut the things that help working people.

1.5 million immigrants in a year isn't a "little too far". The UN called it modern slavery.

Carney also seemingly wants to continue it.

When asked whether Canada can afford a pro-immigration policy, Carney responded, “The short answer is yes we can – and arguably, we can’t afford not to.”

Carney emphasizes integrating the 4+ million newcomers who arrived in recent years, focusing on transitioning temporary residents (TRs) to permanent residents (PRs).

If you want to help the poor then reducing demand is the first step, obviously matching immigration to housing supply would have been smart.

I believe the foreign temporary worker program was definately being abused and that's what they were talking about.... Regular immigration is not bad and Canada needs it desperately

Youth unemployment in Toronto is near 15%.

Unless you mean we need something resembling slave labor with poor salaries, worker rights, and housing to increase corporate profits?

There was a labor shortage, as per the Phillips curve, but the Bank of Canada raised rates to cool the economy and to lower the money supply. The shortage is long gone.
