Liberals have broke the social contract, we relied on them and they squandered our wealth. Liberals will let the fraud continue, because its cheaper to do nothing then put resources into finding them. They also don't have the will to tell public sector workers to get to work and find the fraud. Liberals would rather get those asylum claimants towards making voters out of them than do anything to curb the fraud.
Criticizes Liberal government handling of fraud, asylum processing, and public sector accountability while expressing concern about political motivations behind immigration policy.

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.
American commenter critiques Trump's tariff policy, trade decisions, and foreign relations, while calling on government officials to change course.

Respect to the indian man who came as an RN and understood the problems with not working hard. He may have a rose-tinted view on Canada being no different than India, which is aproblem in itself, but the mindset is inherently what we want from our newcomers, and not just importing everyone from a hyper-specific area of another country in i.e. India. This is why selective immigration that has been done for years before Trudeau did wonders for this country. Very insightful. The race doesn't matter, the diversity we value is actually lost when you only import anything and don't vet anyone at all, it then becomes simply and factually non-diverse.
Critiques current immigration policy as insufficiently selective while praising past vetting practices, with underlying identity-based framing about diversity and national values.

Folk may think this reduction in immigration is far from any "slash" in numbers. Consider (search the web for "Is Canada's aging population an issue ?"):
"Canada's aging population is a significant issue, creating major challenges for the economy, healthcare, and social services, as more seniors require care while fewer younger workers support them, leading to potential labor shortages, strained budgets, and increased demand for healthcare and long-term support. The trend of more seniors than children under 15 puts pressure on economic growth and government finances, requiring substantial funding increases for health and care services. "
For every positive to reduced immigration numbers, Canadians are going to discover that there will be negatives. The negatives might very well justify using the word "slash". Time will tell.
Nuanced analysis of immigration reduction trade-offs, citing aging population concerns and economic/healthcare impacts to contextualize policy debate.
