"Without warning tightened immigration" The last 3 years of Trudeau's reign were Canadians, actual Canadians who can vote, screaming at Trudeau to cut the immigration numbers. Anyone angry about it is just pissed that they can't cry more since Carney isn't making a circus of the whole thing.
Argues that public opinion (actual Canadians) has been demanding immigration cuts, framing the policy change as responsive to citizen demands rather than sudden.

It's not a Liberal or Conservative issue any longer. Unless someone is hiding under the rock, there is no way to avoid facing the effects of Liberal disastrous immigration over past 10 yrs. Before 2015, illegal immigration = 0 🟢By end of 2026, temporary residents with expired and illegal status = 2.6 million ⏳Illegal immigration is promoting a vast underground economy and destroying Canada each day. *20,000 deportations/year is just a drop in the bucket-it needs to be 100,000+ for real change.* ✈💥
Provides specific statistics and policy analysis criticizing Liberal immigration policy, with calls for increased deportations and economic impact claims.

I didn’t vote Liberal because they ran the country for 10 years and they got nothing done so why should anyone else vote Liberal.

Liberal canada is hell bent on destroying the country. violent crime offenders getting out of jail, refugee claims and asylum seekers getting same benefits as residents and citizens, handing out billions of dollars to other countries, opening doors to drug cartels and organized crimes to buy properties in the country which fuels housing prices to soar, capital gains tax increases , carbon taxes on people and industries. these are just a few.
Comprehensive critique of government policies on crime, refugee benefits, foreign aid, housing, and taxation, with underlying alarmist tone about national decline.

Canada has reduced the number of student visas and temporary foreign worker permits because even people who are pro immigration and not racist recognize that it has gotten out of hand. Diversity is good. Diversity requires lots of different kinds of people living together. Immigration shouldn’t be mostly one group no matter what the ethnicity or colour is. It’s all about balance.
Commenter analyzes government policy decisions on visas/permits while invoking principles of balanced diversity as a moral justification.

Just got back from my first ever cruise and fully enjoyed it. Sat through a few presentations on how the ship actually keeps us all safe and afloat and had a behind the scenes peek at where the amazing crew eat , sleep and socialize. Also learned how they hire and vet their staff, including all background and health checks before they can work for Royal Caribbean (Celebrity). Hey Mr PM, perhaps you could join this board and learn a thing or two on how to “onboard” people to safeguard all.
Commenter shares a personal cruise experience but primarily uses it as a comparative framework to critique Canadian immigration vetting procedures, suggesting the PM learn from corporate onboarding practices.

Canada has lost the plot. Recruiting foreigners for our military should be illegal. There is no doubt Carney is destroying Canada. Canada and Canadians don’t make these decisions. Carney makes them in the backrooms without consultation with anyone. The Liberals take no ideas or instruction from the people who are paying and employing them. They did not elect a Dictator which we have.
Criticizes government policies on military recruitment and accuses leadership of authoritarian governance without democratic consultation.
