C’mon guys this is such an easy win for us as a country. Justin went a little too far with his style of governing for a lot of you and now the liberals have voted this guy to be it’s leader and new PM. This is who we want to lead us into the second half of the 20th century, this guy is so fucking smart. Pierre just sings slogans and simple pretty things that sound nice but in reality he’s just going to sell us off to American interests and cut the things that help working people.

    1.5 million immigrants in a year isn’t a “little too far”. The UN called it modern slavery.

    This is misleading and arguably just a lie. AFAICT, the UN did not infer anything from the amount of immigration, only from the conditions and treatment of the immigrants: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/09/1140437 – those two things may have some connection, but it is obviously mediated.

    If you want to help the poor then reducing demand is the first step

    According to what economic or social theory? Why isn’t progressive taxation, redistribution, improved social welfare, stimulating industry, or improving education the first step?

    Why do you assume that the problem is caused by the poor people seeking opportunity rather than caused by the landlords and corporate oligarchs extracting profit?

      Its very simple, you’re importing people faster than you’re building homes. What level of brain rot do you have to have to deny that is dramatically increasing demand, are you eating road kill like RFK?

      Heck the CMHC and the bank of Canada have outlined it clearly, do you deny our own institutions as well?
