“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Mark Carney’s Liberals to ditch the federal government’s decades-old temporary foreign worker program, taking a harder stance against a program he’s previously said should be reduced, not axed outright.

The reason why, Poilievre said Wednesday, is because of worsening youth unemployment, rather than a Liberal-induced “immigration crisis” he has claimed has weakened both the economy and security of the country.

“The individual temporary foreign workers, the workers themselves, they are not bad people. They are not the problem. They are being taken advantage of by Liberal corporate leaders who want to use them to drive down wages,” Poilievre said at a news conference in Mississauga.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre confirmed his party’s intention to put pressure on companies using siginficant amount of TFW’s by “naming and shaming” them.

Speaking to reporters in Mississauga ON. on Wednesday, Poilievre and Shadow Immigration Minister Michelle Rempel Garner reiterated their opposition to the Temporary Foreign Worker program, stating that companies relying on the system prioritize corporate profits over Canadian jobs.

Once upon a time not so long ago, if you were a young Canadian, you could learn vital skills in an entry-level job, and earn enough to pay for school while saving. In return, employers would benefit from a skilled, productive domestic labour workforce.

But that agreement has been broken, as evidenced by Canada’s staggering youth unemployment and the countless gut-punching stories about young Canadians who have put out hundreds of resumes without getting as much as a single callback.

Recently, Alberta’s Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade, and Immigration, Joseph Schow, declared that Mark Carney’s Liberal government “has lost control over immigration” and warned that the Liberal government’s inability to effectively regulate the influx of international mass migration within Canada has imposed a severe strain upon “housing, healthcare, employment, and other public services” throughout Alberta.
