I'm sick and tired of this false right wing narrative that the Trudeau Lib party let in all the Indians. I lived in Brampton until 2005 and white flight started well before that. It's been called Bramledesh for longer than I can remember. Trudeau wasn't PM until 2016.
Challenges the narrative that Trudeau's government caused demographic change, citing historical timeline and earlier demographic shifts.

Just 2 years ago she ran a program called, 'Alberta is Calling.' Smith lobbied the Federal Government to allow *double* the amount of immigrants Alberta could accept. arguing that Alberta’s "economic miracle" required a massive influx of labor. Ironically this immigration problem is something she lobbied and negotiated with Ottawa for. Her recent shift is just her way to point the finger at someone instead of recognizing her own failures; which created a 6.4 billion dollar deficit.
Detailed critique of political hypocrisy, documenting how a politician previously advocated for increased immigration before reversing position.
