Great start. 64% decrease in foreign students is a huge cut and definitely needed. Middle class tax cut is a step in the right direction and the $10 NSF fee is actually a huge underrated change. I’ll admit I’ve been in the situation where I forgot which day my bill is coming out and didn’t have my bank account prepared accordingly. Getting slapped with $50+ NSF fees just made it even worse. Nice to see a cap on that now as I felt like companies were abusing it.

Step in the right direction

Canada has lost a whole decade of growth and prosperity with the trudeau liberals and made canada weak beyond belief. worst canadian government ever. Scrapping the carbon tax is step 1 in the right direction.

This is a good step in the right direction. Cut down public sector spending. Since the targets for foreign students are much lower, and the anticipated immigration # should be lower in the next few years, we don't need as many immigration workers. I do hope Immigration Canada would prioritize applicants with higher education, skills that Canada need, etc.

BIDEN LET IN 7000 ILLEGALS IN EVERYDAY FOR 4 YEARS STRAIGHT ON THE LOW END. SO 500 PEOPLE IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET BUT ITS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND GLOBAL'S BIASED REPORTER TRUMP HATING JACKSON PROSKOW BIDEN SUPPORTER IS STILL REPORTING THE BIASED NEWS

He speaks like a well articulated politician. However, this is a step in the right direction.

STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT NOT ENOUGH!!!

Better than nothing, at least a step in the right direction I guess

Thank God! ?\n\nA small step in the right direction. But a step nonetheless! ? ??

I've been living in Canada for the last 10 years ( came here as an international student), and now applying for my permanent residency. Went through high school, post secondary, and now working a full-time job in my field of study. I would say it's long overdue for Canada to scale down on its immigration policies (yes, I've had this thought even when I was a student so anyone who thinks I switched teams can shut up). There are simply not enough houses to accommodate Canadian, let alone immigrants. A lot of them only work minimum wage jobs which neither help the country with shortages in other fields nor their careers in the long term, and overall it gives immigrants a bad rap in the eyes of Canadian citizen. The recent changes in immigration imo is a good first step in the right direction.\n\nEdit: Also I'd like to add that if you're leaving your own home country to join another for a better life, it's your responsibility to adapt and contribute to their society, not the other way around. If you can't do that, stay in your home country.

It's bad everywhere, but worse in Canada. Decreased productivity cuts across everything. And Toronto's move to allow multi-plex homes to be built anywhere is a huge step in the right direction. Now for tiny homes...

Not only are they entering illegally, many that are in the U.S. illegally or legal are just looking at there phones and not even attempting to assimilate and learn English. I have noticed that almost every foreign speaking person is just looking at their phones and listening to media in their own language. If I was seeing some watching English media or at least trying to learn the language it would at least be a step in the right direction, but they ignore everything in English! Social media has a stranglehold on American culture!! There are several Spanish speaking groups being brought in to work in retail and grocery stores and it's just the same thing, they don't know hardly a word of English. If they come here even legally, they should be learning English, we shouldn't have to learn Spanish in our own country or whatever language they are speaking!!!!!Speak English or go back to your own countries, your culture is not our culture! Learn our laws, our history and our ways or stay out of our country!!!

After reviewing this comment section, it's kind of sad that people are arguing with each other, instead of looking at the real problem: the Canadian Govt as it currently stands. Trudeau needs to *GO* - Will that solve everything? Of course not. But it sure is a step in the right direction.
