Employers are mad because they are underpaying the immigrants. That’s why they hire them over Canadians. Look at Tim Hortons

Canada just needs to fix the trade deficit with the United States. If Trudeau does, the U.S. tariffs would not happen. Canada has turned a deaf ear when the U.S. requested a fair trading partner and less deficits in the past decades. Trump was obligated to put a tariff on Canadian goods entering the U.S. since Canada did not resolve the problem.
Analysis of trade deficits and tariffs framed as justification for U.S. policy, focusing on economic imbalance between nations.

Remember tariffs don’t raise prices, the greedy corrupt corporations do this. If they would absorb them which they are financially able to but choose not to, it would be fine and no scary sensationalism

That’s the harsh reality. During Trudeau’s time, Canada saw a significant influx of newcomers, which put pressure on housing, the labour market, and healthcare. It’s normal for a country to tighten immigration for a few years; lower quotas naturally mean higher requirements.
Coming on a study permit or a work permit doesn’t guarantee permanent residency. Once a temporary status expires, and if there’s no other legal pathway to stay, the person must leave Canada.
Discusses immigration's impact on housing, labour market, and healthcare; frames policy tightening as rational response to resource pressure.
