Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scrambling to mitigate his plummeting approval in the polls by acknowledging that he made “mistakes” regarding his country’s wake mass immigration policy.
Trudeau claimed that large corporations and colleges exploited Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program to avoid hiring Canadian workers and charged students outrageous sums of money for degrees.
“Far too many colleges and universities used international students to raise their bottom line — because they could charge these students tens of thousands of dollars more for the same degree,” Trudeau explained. “And, then there are really bad actors who outright exploit people, who target vulnerable immigrants with promises of jobs, diplomas, and easy pathways to citizenship. Promises that would never come true.”
Trudeau added that “when the post-pandemic boom cooled and businesses no longer needed the additional labor help” the Canadian government could have “turned off the taps faster.”
As a result of Trudeau’s failure, Canadians have faced a decrease in their wages and wealth.
Canadians now struggle with increased housing prices, productivity, and birth rates.
An Ipsos poll found that 33 percent of Canadians approved Trudeau’s job performance, while 67 percent disapproved.
Trudeau now says he plans to cut Canada’s legal immigration by 20 percent. “Canada’s new immigration plan is straightforward,” Trudeau continued.
“Lower the number of new immigrants coming into Canada — both temporary and permanent. We’re prioritizing permanent residents with the skills we need, like healthcare workers for our hospitals and construction workers who will build more homes.”
Trudeau’s apparent 180 on pro-immigration policies came after Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre vowed to cut the flood of migrants into Canada.
Poilievre said that immigration levels in Canada should be based on employers’ needs and the number of homes being built.
Meanwhile, the leader of the People’s Party in Canada, Maxime Bernier, argued that “mass immigration” has brought “more poverty” into the country.
Bernier criticized Trudeau for smearing people who had “raised the alarm” on millions of foreigners coming into Canada as being racist.
“This clown finally recognized he f***ed up by allowing millions of foreigners to invade our country,” Bernier wrote on X.
“He smeared those of us who raised the alarm as racists until just a few months ago. And now we should believe him when he says he can fix what he broke?? What a joke.”
