Justin ! you weren't able to protect and run the country when times were easy , when Germans begged you for LNG ! Back than you told them Canada doesn't have the infrastructure to load it into vessels . Guess what? neither Germany had that , but they;ve built in 3 MONTHS !! When you went to India it looked like you were there to go clubbing or dancing instead of looking for contracts or investments, either Canadian to India or viceversa . Now , looking for some other markets when USA is getting closed, its difficult . Nice words ,by the way , but action is what we need .
Detailed criticism of Trudeau's government performance on infrastructure, trade negotiations, and diplomatic efforts.

There is NO divide. Canadians overwhelmingly want less immigration. Only the business elite wants massive levels of immigration because they want cheap foreign labour.

People want reduced numbers but dealing with existing temporary workers needs a just solution . Canada lacks the space. Two thirds of the population live within 62 miles of the US border!

Yeah, the majority here in Ontario are happy that the government is getting it under control, and unfortunately, the method is not fair. The missing parts of the report are: 1) the government has increased the number of permanent residency spots to convert temporary residents, but the increase is not proportionate. 2) The reason why we had an increase in temporary residents was because corporations (like Tim Horton's) lobbied the government to let in more temporary workers whom they can underpay and exploit, as the employees don't have as many rights. So now it is not surprising that they are lobbying against the changes.
Provides nuanced critique of government policy implementation, corporate lobbying, and the disproportionate conversion of temporary to permanent residents, with economic analysis of labor exploitation.
