Trudeau’s Liberals are trying to save the Canadian consensus on immigration — and their legacy types an obedient CBC

Reports about the death of Canada’s immigration consensus have arguably been exaggerated. But there are warning signs — both for the public’s attitude toward immigration and for the Trudeau government’s legacy.

The clearest evidence that the consensus is in some danger can be found in polling conducted by the Environ ics Institute. For 50 years, Environics has been asking Canadians whether they agree or disagree with the statement that “overall there is too much immigration in Canada.”

For nearly 25 years, starting in the late 1990s, a majority of Canadians disagreed with that statement. In 2022, the gap was particularly wide — 69 per cent disagreed, just 27 per cent agreed.

How Canada soured on immigration

For decades, Canada has cast itself as a country open to newcomers, with immigration policies tailored to boost its population, fill labour gaps and settle refugees fleeing conflict from around the world.

But in recent months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he intends to significantly cut the number of immigrants allowed in Canada as public concern grows over inaccessible social services, high costs of living and unaffordable housing.

It is a major shift for both the country and Trudeau, who ran in 2015 on a platform of embracing multiculturalism as a key part of Canadian identity.

Trudeau sees 3rd world migrants from cultures incompatible with Canadian values as the future of the Liberal party.

These cuts are cosmetic and the abuse will continue.

Liberal MPs lack the means – but mostly the courage – to take down their Leader

It was, by all accounts, a “robust” discussion at Wednesday’s Liberal caucus meeting. And not only robust, but “frank” and “difficult.”

And why not? Ostensibly Liberal MPs were there to debate whether Justin Trudeau should stay on as Leader. But there were also important principles at stake, as I need hardly tell you. Principles like: will I lose my seat? Or: will I get into cabinet?

Jesse Kline: Toronto Star paints a skewed picture of Trudeau’s immigration cuts

Reporter claims ‘Canada is relinquishing its welcome mat,’ when in fact we are returning to pre-pandemic levels

In 2017, when our fresh-faced prime minister was still under the mistaken impression that incessant virtue-signalling was a reasonable way to run a country, Justin Trudeau issued a proclamation to the world’s huddled masses: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” Canada, in other words, was instituting an open-door immigration policy, in contrast to the United States, where president Donald Trump had just signed an executive order intended to curb Muslim immigration.

Canada’s emergence as a haven for terrorists

When asked if Canada is becoming a safe haven for terrorists, David Harris, former Chief of Strategic Planning of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) stated, “I think there is a dire risk of this happening. We are already playing a significant role in international terror funding. We have 50 terrorist organizations of a variety of descriptions and a good number of them are the so-called world class ones.” While addressing a Special Committee of the Senate, former director of CSIS Ward Elcock stated, “I’ll be as blunt as I can be, we cannot become, through inaction or otherwise, what might be called an official state sponsor of terrorism.”

Jamie Sarkonak: Your rising Spotify bill is paying for the Liberals’ diversity agenda

The Online Streaming Act, rushed through Parliament as Bill C-11, isn’t in full force yet. Already, though, it’s begun to claw back a generous cut of streamer revenues — and we’re already worse off for it.

In June, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it would be taking a five per cent cut of Canadian revenues from major foreign streaming services, such as Netflix and Youtube, starting in 2024, supposedly to invest in Canadian programming. In dollars, that’s supposed to bring in $200 million per year.

John Ivison: Red flags all over Trudeau’s flawed plan to curb runaway immigration

When circumstances warrant, the prime minister deserves to be praised — if faintly.

He has been roundly criticized —not least by members of his own caucus — for not listening, and for digging in when it is clear that the government needs to retreat.

Yet on Thursday, he unveiled a new immigration plan that cut the number of newcomers by one-fifth in response to criticism from across the country that the flood of arrivals in recent years has been too dramatic for the housing, education and health-care systems to absorb.

Poilievre Says Some Liberal MPs in Favour of Non-Confidence Motion Against Government

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says some Liberal MPs have told Tories they would vote in favour of a non-confidence motion against the government.

Speaking to reporters on Oct. 24, Poilievre said he had spoken with “numerous Liberal MPs” who are worried the Liberal government’s carbon tax policy will cost them their seats, and that they want to vote against that plan.

Jordan Peterson: Canada’s woke nightmare is a warning to the West

Justin Trudeau is creating a new arm of the state with sweeping powers aimed at criminalising opinions deemed ‘unacceptable’ by progressives

The bloom has certainly gone off the rose with regard to Canada’s Justin Trudeau – and most deservedly so.

He was the great hope of modern progressivism, handsome and charming – but his actions and inactions have confirmed the very worst suspicions of those dubious about the moral claims of elites obsessed with green dogma, their excessive demands, and their false compassion.

To put it bluntly: Canada is not thriving. On the economic side, we in the Great White North are now less productive, per capita, than the inhabitants of Mississippi, the least productive American state. Our border is, if anything, more carelessly open than that of our US allies, and our real estate prices are, despite our great expanse of habitable land, much higher.

Trudeau is evil, he’s also off his nut.

Immigration prevented a recession last year, but looming changes could stall growth: economists

Reducing the number of new admissions to the country could have negative consequences for the economy and pose challenges for commerce, according to business advocates and economists alike.

Economic measures such as the gross domestic product (GDP) have been moving in a positive direction, economists say, in part because Canada’s population has continued to increase due to rising immigration levels.

Statistics Canada reported in March that the country’s population grew in 2023 by about 1.3 million, and 97.6 per cent of that growth was the result of immigration.

A deeply weird and typical day on Parliament Hill

It’s very Ottawa to prebook an attempted political knifing for a Wednesday morning, but also to keep enough of the messiness under wraps so that if the agitators blinked, you could go back to being one big happy family, with bolted-on grins, in the afternoon.

The last week has been filled with reports about a growing swell of frustration among Liberal MPs over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, given the party’s abysmal standing in the polls and in the minds of Canadians. This discontent took the form of a letter – which no one seemed to have seen with their own eyes, let alone signed with their own hand – urging him to step down.

Justin Trudeau ‘disappointing’ MPs who want him gone but other Liberals say he is still deciding

OTTAWA—The drama surrounding Justin Trudeau’s leadership clouded another day on Parliament Hill, as dissenting Liberal MPs who want him to resign say they’re disappointed the prime minister is trumpeting his intention to stay, while others suggested they don’t believe he has yet made a final decision.

More than six Liberal sources have told the Star that Trudeau told his caucus he will remain as leader after he listened to roughly 20 of his MPs tell him behind closed doors on Wednesday that he should resign or at least reconsider whether his continued leadership is best for the party.

Canada to ‘Significantly Reduce’ Immigration as Trudeau Caves to Public Pressure

Canada plans to “significantly reduce” the number of immigrants it allows into the country over the next two years, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reverses course amid falling public support for immigration.

Canada previously set a target of 500,000 new permanent residents in 2025. Under the new immigration plan, Canada will decrease that target by 21 percent, to 395,000. After 2025, the limit will shrink by roughly 4 percent each year as the government looks to set a target of 365,000 new permanent residents by 2027.

Poilievre not buying Trudeau’s ‘about-face’ on immigration

Tory leader Pierre Poilievre told reporters the Trudeau Liberals’ Thursday morning immigration announcement was a desperate attempt to gain support ahead of the next election.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Immigration Minister Marc Miller this morning announced an immigration cap, with 2025 quotas for 2025 falling from 500,000 to 395,000. Trudeau also confirmed he has every intention to stay on as prime minister and leader of the Liberal party.
