Lots of hating on J Trudeau here but Harper is the one that drastically expanded the temporary foreign worker programme. And he subsidized it so said workers only had to be paid 75% of minimum wage by the company hiring them while the gvmnt paid the rest. Companies literally pay less than min for tfws and the government pays the rest. That's why they are prioritized. Harper did this. Trudeau made it worse. Pollivere would not have stopped it. The current government will only expand it. Minor parties are being sidelined, bribed, or otherwise shit down across the political spectrum. NDP sold out long ago. Bloc don't care as long as the aliens pretend to speak French as much as they pretend to speak English. There is no democratic solution.
Provides detailed critique of temporary foreign worker programs across multiple governments, comparing their approaches and subsidization practices.

This so called stand up guy that’s done as PM in 3 days pledged another 5 billion to Ukraine and announced a 120 billion light rail train in the past 3 weeks and is putting the 4th carbon tax on us April 1 so this speech to me is obsurd - Danielle smith went right to trump and got oil reduced to 10% shoulda follow her lead Trudeau
Criticizes multiple government policies (spending, carbon tax) and compares unfavorably to another provincial leader's approach.

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.
Detailed critique of Trudeau's governance record including provincial relations, project shutdowns, and alleged corruption, with explicit call to vote the party out.

This is not about legal immigrants it is about uncontrolled illegal migration sponsored by our government. You cannot grow a population without expanding infrastructure at the same rate of more. This is not racist or anti immigration this is about proper planning and growth of a nation.
Critiques government immigration policy as uncontrolled and poorly planned, framing concerns as infrastructure/growth management rather than xenophobia.

No jobs and no housing? Why not build more small, affordable homes while expanding your cities? Why not create more jobs? Don't you want to grow and focus less on the USA and Trump? Expelling immigrants who genuinely want to live in Canada shouldn't be your solution to these problems. After all, Canada came into existence thanks to immigrants, right? Reclaiming houses bought by foreigners who don't even reside in your country could be a better approach. Only citizens or permanent residents should have the right to buy or build real estate.
Critiques government policy on immigration and housing while arguing for alternative solutions grounded in fairness and national development.

We were in lockdown with Covid yet the liberals opened the doors wide open for immigrants. This made no sense. Time for change, vote conservative.

Focusing too much on being anti-Trump is a strategic mistake for the Democrats. In order to win, you have to convince the average non-partisan person that you are seeking their best interest. Moral high grounding does not work. The current majority sentiment of the US population is that they want the government to prioritize the interest of the US first and foremost. Whether or not Trump is a bully to other countries when he tries to prioritize that interest is irrelevant to them.
Critiques Democratic strategy and argues that prioritizing national interest over moral positioning is more effective politically.

He ruined, borders, immigration, housing, and the national budget. Put on your black makeup and look at yourself in the mirror. You suck, you're not a leader.

If the Gov't of Canada issued citizenship to Musky, why can't the same gov't void/cancel his citizenship? Why put their people through the hassle of signing petitions?

You think inflation has been bad since Day 1 of the COVID Pandemic? You think grocery & other costs are unbelievably high now! Trump is going to make it worse. \n\nHe's going to ruin our economy just like his response with COVID.
Critiques Trump's policies and predicts negative economic consequences, comparing current inflation to anticipated future harm.

What the heck is wrong with Trudeau? He should step down now and let the Next Prime Minister handle this situation. He's speaking like a leader going nowhere. Why does he pick Ministers who have nervous twitches like Mz Joly. Why is she twitching and moving all around??

I have heard the skilled laborer argument for years. Canadian governments keep saying we need to bolster the work force with immigrants. I've heard this for 20+ years, and they're still saying it. It hasn't worked because bringing in immigrants only treats the symptoms not the cause.
Critiques the government's long-standing skilled labor immigration argument as ineffective, arguing it treats symptoms rather than root causes.
