A majority of Canadians want the country to accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents next year, according to a new Nanos Research survey commissioned by CTV News, as the country continues to grapple with immigration levels and their impact on housing, services and the economy.
The survey found that 52.3 per cent of respondents believe Canada should accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents in 2027, compared with 33.5 per cent who want the numbers to remain about the same.
Conveniently ignoring that the Conservatives also supported the same immigration expansion policies, more than the NDP too, I see.
Can you guess why Cons, despite how much they signalled total opposition to the Liberals, never actually disagreed with them on immigration? For a clue, look into how close knit both Liberals and Con politicians are with companies like Uber.
If you think neoliberal politics don’t serve corporations, you’re in for a shock.
Politics in general serves corporations. The only thing that might change if the NDP somehow got elected is the corporations politics is serving, and even that’s up for debate. But there’s a reason all three parties are pro-immigration, and there’s a reason the NDP’s calling the Conservatives’ BS messaging on immigration racist. That new pathway the LPC is taking to convert TFWs to permanent residents? That was an NDP idea.
