Leftist Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has suddenly seen the light about too much immigration and has announced that Canada will be significantly restricting it for the next two years:
We’re going to significantly reduce the number of immigrants coming to Canada for the next two years. This is temporary — to pause our population growth and let our economy catch up.
We have to get the system working right for all Canadians.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) October 24, 2024
Keep in mind it’s not like Canada has immigrants knocking their doors down like the US to get into to Canada. But even so this is rich. I thought immigration was a wonderful thing and yet now we see even leftist politicians saying too much immigration is bad.
But just like Kamala Harris, who has also suddenly seen the light, Trudeau has a House of Commons election coming up next year so it’s likely this new anti-immigration stance has much to do with that.
Here’s a few responses to Trudeau’s tweet:
It's cute how he pretends to care about Canadians when what he's doing it to benefit fake asylum seekers to the detriment of Canadians. Progressives always pretend they're screwing you over for you benefit. They're very committed to the con. https://t.co/PEy9sA4H1e

Imagine how bad the effects of mass migration must be for Trudeau to be forced to change course.
I still hold out hope that defenders of open borders will start paying attention to the actual effects of these polices instead of just insisting on an a priori political principle. https://t.co/vVglntpQAu

This is a dramatic policy reversal and significant admission of failure. Saying this just a few years ago would get you a “racist” tag. Now we are in a crisis that even woke Trudeau cannot ignore. https://t.co/SLwGUCAL7c
