I just don't think the LPC cares anymore. I think they are now between solidifying the programs they put in place and simply setting up the next government to have as painful a time as possible in office.
When has that stopped the Star from pushing a narrative?So, in the end, we took in more people than the high end option in the cabinet docs; but with none of the resources the cabinet docs said would be needed if that option were picked.
I don't know that I can be anymore irritated by the Trudeau gov'ts choices here than I already was............. I am irritated w/the author of the piece for misrepresenting what happened though sins of omission.
Why on earth is the Canadian government providing this kind of (undoubtedly necessary) service to citizens of another fairly wealthy country? I understand being even-handed and 'fair' but ....
We need skilled trades workers, doctors.,etc. but the government keeps importing low skilled workers to fill minimum wage jobs.
Half of all Canadians say there are too many immigrants: poll
Concerns over immigration are mostly about the economy rather than fears about immigrants changing Canada's social fabric, the poll suggestsnationalpost.com
Breaking a half century long consensus on diverse immigration is quite the achievement for Trudeau.
Except, we did hit and exceed the 1M; while cabinet approved the lower mainstream immigration total ( still a record high), its clear the system was gamed to have foreign students and TFWs make up the difference between the original target and the approved one.

“I think about quitting every day. It’s a crazy job I’m doing, making the personal sacrifices,” said Trudeau, who split with his wife since taking office in 2015. “Of course, it’s super tough.”.
But Trudeau said significant domestic and international challenges nevertheless motivate him to remain in the post and face the next federal election scheduled for next year.
Women’s rights, LGBTQ rights and progress fighting climate change are among the issues Trudeau claimed are currently at stake in Canada, and he pointed to global attacks on democracies by what he called extreme populism.
I agree with your assessment of the public's attention span, but if we don't address climate change issues and ramifications head on, there won't be much of a world left to worry about for we humans.Trudeau says job of prime minister 'crazy,' but he’s determined to stay on

I get that these are important issues. But these kinds of answers in the midst of a housing crisis, a time when we have tent cities and mentally ill riding subways, and a crime wave of stolen cars, etc is going to get these guys creamed next election. The public does not share his priorities at all.

The carbon tax is hurting the Liberals. Most people get back more money in rebates, however it is visible at the gas pumps.
I would argue more so on home energy (heating fuel) bills where, at least in Enbridges' case, is a seperate line item on the bill. Gas (automobile) prices are not too dissimilar prepandemic.The carbon tax is hurting the Liberals. Most people get back more money in rebates, however it is visible at the gas pumps.
