Pierre Poilievre says under a Conservative government, immigration will be "much lower, especially for temporary immigration."
He says it's "impossible" to bring 1.2 million people into the country per year while only building 200,000 homes.
When you're a guest to a country, you should really avoid breaking the law
If you do, it's only natural that we kick you out. Like what do you even expect? This is absurd
Enough with the misplaced compassion
The 🇨🇦 NDP just interrupted our Mother's Day brunch to tell me that teachers ~should~ be able to keep secrets from parents.
Guess how that went over? 💅

"It is unhealthy to link housing to the volume of people that are coming here to seek refuge and asylum, equally unhealthy to relate it to immigrants..." - Immigration Minister Marc Miller
Canada's political elite is divorced from reality.
Isn’t it interesting that most of the people who complain about people using drugs are drug users themselves, and consume at these so-called "drug dens" and even outside where the public can see them getting intoxicated?!

Vancouver has an estimated 500K-800K empty bedrooms — at least 1 in 5 — in the midst of a housing crisis.
Here’s a map of them (darker = more empty). Our markets are failing to allocate housing to serve families' needs. Shifting taxes to land addresses this fundamentally.

Dear Canadian right, please do not go into the "Trudeau is trying to steal the election with mail-in ballots"
This isn't true and can only hurt turnout among conservatives like in the US (why vote of it's rigged?)
Stop. It. Now.

He won't do the right thing though and that's okay, defeating him in an election will be that much more satisfying!

Immigration Minister Marc Miller calls the Canadian Language requirements "onerous" and "must be changed."

Thoughts?

Here you go! 🔥
“Liberals incompetence and policies created the housing crisis”
“They don’t give a $&!?”
These dumbasses just went full commie, saying an American they don’t like shouldn’t be allowed in Canada & got destroyed by reporters AGAIN at another dumpster fire presser. 🤪
So I fully support Poilievre here. However, the fundamental threat of wokism did not start with Trudeau and won't end once he's gone. This is a much more complicated fight and we should be ready for it.
So not only do young people have no hope of ever owning a house, they now have to deal with a difficult labour market
It can't continue like that, young people will become too angry otherwise

Renting is so 'liberating' you can't install shelves or mount a TV in your home even if you wanted to
Are we really failing our young generations so much that we're now gaslightning them into believing renting is optimal?
Mayor Jyoti Gondek thinks not owning a home - being a renter is liberating and that homeownership is so outdated:
"We are starting to see a segment of the population reject this idea of owning a home and they are moving towards rental because it gives them more freedom...so

the day the leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition was asked to leave the chamber for refusing to withdraw his comments. Shameful. And it will be written as a day that marked a dark turn in our politics. Partisan gain over decorum.
I genuinely don't believe the Liberals have an answer to this message
The NDP could (with a better leader) but the Liberals are going to get obliterated
"When I'm prime minister, my obsession—my daily obsession—will be about what is good for the working class people of this country," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says in an address to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

Once again, Canada already gives its citizenship very easily (3 years)
There is absolutely no reasons to allow PR to vote
Being a citizen should mean something. Stop trying to devalue our citizenship please
Let me get this straight.
PRs can serve our country and join the military.
PRs pay taxes at all levels of government and can own property.
Having a say in any of that, not even contemplated. Nothing says gate keeping like being unwilling to even entertain the conversation.

Can't wait for our pundits to fully agree with the decision of the Court like they always do
Right? Surely Andrew Coyne and others will celebrate this decision?
So this is interesting. I'm at a union meeting and they did a survey and many people answered race/gender shouldn't be a factor in hiring, just merit
And now people are shocked and mad about this
Let's be super clear here: the reason many don't qualify for a mortgage is NOT because we aren't using their rental history
It's because you need to earn such a high income to qualify!
Like using your rental history won't make you earn 200k+ a year!

I genuinely can't wait for the first few polls about the announced policies about transgender kids from Danielle Smith
I predict a large level of support for what she proposed. It was well thought out and common sense.
Mr. Poilievre, your time out is over!
Canadians deserve progress in the House but you continue to obstruct with partisan games. We will work for Canadians.
It's really symbolic of the state of this country that on the day we remember D-Day, some MPs don't care that some MPs might have committed treason
The soldiers who fought for our freedom would not appreciate, that's for sure

Miller is telling international students to go back.

Today John Rustad announced his plan for the biggest healthcare cut in BC history - $4.1 billion. You can’t do this without firing doctors and nurses and causing wait times to skyrocket. We need to keep hiring doctors and nurses, not fire them.

Officials warned Sean Fraser 2 years ago that his policies as immigration minister were driving up housing costs. So Trudeau made him housing minister!
No wonder you can’t buy a home.
(CP conveniently fails to mention Fraser was the minister responsible).
School is there to teach knowledge like math, English etc
The co-opting of school by some woke progressives to instead teach values is wrong and something we need to fix
Protesters chant "no more silence" and "vote them out" in response to Richmond City Council's support for a "safe" injection site in the Vancouver suburb.
So I guess we discovered today that the NDP's internal numbers matched the publicly available polls
Complete panic from them. 6 months from the election and they already tried the abortion wedge issue? This is pathetic
The discourse on the election being delayed for MPs to get their pensions is really highlighting how stupid the system is
MPs shouldn't qualify for a full pension after 6 years but they should also get some pension from day one
They should get the same deal public servants
Rachel:
1) nobody is blaming immigrants. Everybody is always careful to blame IMMIGRATION NUMBERS
2) I invite you to take my class where I'll teach you about demand and supply. I can probably get your a discount
I don’t understand how this “Immigrants are to blame for the housing problem” narrative is spreading to the point of policy changes without anyone doing much of anything about REITs
Maybe stop these companies from buying up entire apartment floors/buildings to extract profit???
PM Trudeau says immigration to Canada has "grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb," adding that "temporary immigration has caused so much pressure in our communities," in relation to housing

I refuse to believe this is real
An elected member of Parliament is publicly arguing for safe supply of drugs for children
Like come on, tell that to anyone 10 years ago and they wouldn't believe you
Data shows that toxic supply is killing kids.
You can’t treat kids if they’re dead, Michelle.
Also: there are treatment protocols in place to access safe supply.
Guess where kids suffering from addictions go to get drugs if they can’t access safe supply?
Drug dealers.
It’s a long weekend, and we know things can get political at the BBQ.

1/ I'm not sure I buy the "everyone is very mad at Trudeau" narrative. Therre are a lot of people angry at him, sure, but there were before both of the last two elections too. Same people: they were never reach-able.
In British Columbia, Dr. Bonnie Henry is about to release a report that will call for further legal access to hard drugs, including giving free drugs to people.
Why?
Because current drug policy is all about white supremacy.
People are suffering with the cost of living, housing, lack of healthcare etc
And the NDP wants to distract you by talking about abortion? An issue that is federal?
Very unserious
I will not reopen the abortion debate.
This is nonsense from Eby’s NDP who are grasping at straws because they have fallen into second place, behind the Conservative Party of BC.
