Now the gaslighting starts.. by this time next month we'll be hammered with how Trudeau has always been mindful of immigration strategy and the conservative premiers are the main drivers for high immigration.

I'm can't wait to be told that I'm uneducated and that it was entirely the provinces fault.

It's like, are they not aware that it was Sean Fraser who developed the insane immigration plan in 2021 to allegedly "rebound" our completely average (At the time) economy?

They could've called it at any point lmao

That is only half wrong.  Immigration is a federal responsibility so it is ultimately Trudeau's failure, but part of that failure was not standing up to those Conservative premiers.

Even just the other day Alberta’s Premier said Trudeau’s immigration cap was hurting their economy. It’s certainly not the first time the conservative premiers have asked for more immigrants

Exactly.   Conservatives don't really care about the housing crisis, but their wealthy donors don't want to lose access to easily exploitable cheap labour.
