Everything the Liberals touched over the last 10 years is now broken. Carney is a Century 100 advocate so I can’t see him fixing anything.

Decades ago I remember the argument "you're not allowing the parents of immigrants to come to Canada" and the response of "that will destroy the CPP"' being discussed in the news and Parliament for quite some time.
Seems we've gone from one small ditch on one side straight over the cliff's edge on the other now.
Historical policy analysis comparing past immigration debates to current situation, suggesting overcorrection from one extreme to another.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1
Critiques tariff justification as unjustified; includes unverified claims about Russian influence and Trump's intent to harm America.

Aren’t people tired of the ( emotional based argument ) let’s present the cases of foreigners impacted by immigration law . That’s what immigration law is supposed to do it’s supposed to impact foreigners. Then there is the let’s get people to work cheaper than Canadians do and then wonder why Canadians aren’t taking those jobs . Can Canadians just be concerned about Canadians sometimes ? A. Leftist government would not implement these laws if they were not extremely popular . Let democracy thrive without demonizing people who just want to lead their country in a different direction .
Critiques emotional arguments in immigration debate, argues for prioritizing Canadian workers' economic interests, and calls for democratic consideration of different policy directions.
