Having Justin Trudeau occupy the Top Job in Canada as PM was a mistake. Making him PM given his limited intellectual abilities didn't do Canada any favors really. His woke ideals simply aren't based in the realities in thinking that we'll all just get along. The past immigration policies filtered out those that weren't acceptable or weren't bringing anything worthwhile to Canada. What Trudeau did was allow third world countries to unload their undesirable citizens into Canada, ppl that have no idea of what it means to come to a new land and integrate and be a part of something good. Trudeau did not think this through at all.
Primarily critiques Trudeau's immigration policies as poorly thought-out and ideologically driven, with secondary identity-based framing about cultural integration and demographic concerns.

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.

To be honest the problem with Canada is that they are not having strict immigration checks like the USA which has in turn resulted in non-qualified people coming from India to name sake colleges over there . A lot of people just used to drive trucks or do odd jobs over here in India . I really think Canada's welcoming nature has been misused in the wrong way.
Critiques Canada's immigration vetting process as insufficiently strict compared to the USA, with specific claims about unqualified Indian immigrants.

What do you suspect mass immigration equals mass crime my thanks to the liberal government never will I vote for the liberals again. They are ruining Canada . Prices have risen with no end in sight and yet immigration gets housing and money from the government, while seniors get a small pension young people with children are struggling. The government has lost its priorities giving our tax dollars away. Mark Carney is not a politician. He’s a banker. The liberals have to go.
Combines criticism of government immigration policy with economic concerns about housing and pensions, framed as government misallocation of resources.

In 2015, seniors (65+) were ~16–17% of Canada’s population.
In 2024–25, they are ~19–20%.
