Canada’s immigration rowback is a warning for America

Trudeau promises 3 million homes - Kamala proposes 3 million homes
Trudeau celebrates unchecked immigration - Kamala watches overrunning of border from a distance.

Canada used to be a model that every other Western country cited as the gold standard for merit-based immigration. The points system had long favored educated, skilled workers, fluent in either official language of English or French, whose contributions had to match the economic needs and interests of the country. What has proliferated instead under Trudeau is a shortsighted, shallow, leftist worldview...

It’s only now that his policies have become a direct threat to his enabling establishment cronies, with his own party that champions their interests now at risk of being drop-kicked from office if things don’t change, that he’s changed his tune...

Jeremiah 1:5 ~ "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;

Exodus 20:13 ~ “You shall not murder."

We have stayed pretty consistent except for a dip for about 50 years, it's now correcting.

don’t change, that he’s changed his tune...
Next year we're having an election in Canada. We're going to boot Trudeau out of office. But there's one thing of which I'm certain. When that day comes, he'll leave gracefully. He won't try to foment an insurrection.

It seems to me in my dealings with our neighbors to the north they are always more gracious in any situation.

TT once said I know more about Canada than most Canadians. LOL, not sure that is true, but I took that as a compliment!
And Zzand you are probably right! (Except maybe for Montreal drivers, LOL.)

I learn a lot about Canada listening to the variety of voices, local and nationally syndicated ones, on CKLW AM800.
Namely, one, Trudeau is done. For many reasons.

Two,
Patty handysides had an interview that had the author of a report showing family of four in Canada, two parents two kids, pay over $17k per year for health care in taxes. That’s probably $13.5k in $USD. The growth of this number has outpaced inflation greatly in the past 10-15 yrs.

Health care is rationed in Canada, to my understanding and watching news. Shortage of doctors, nurses, providers, facilities.
Also, isn’t there no coverage for prescriptions in Canada? May be turkeytop can fill us in.

Just something to think about , for a debate , when people here wish for a single payer model like that. Pros and cons.

I believe Trudeau is on his third or 4th term, so that's pretty long as it is for a PM. Stands to reason Conservatives would take back over. If you think about the momentum that the Canadian truckers had, it stands to reason that they have their share of people willing to fight.

My friend works as an activist on the ground for the Liberals in Toronto so we talk a lot.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

The truckers had no momentum at all. They just parked their rigs and held an entire city hostage for weeks. An angry mob of hooligans. Swastika waving, militant anti-vaxxers.

They blocked the Ambassador Bridge too. It wasn't just Ottawa.

The assholes also blockaded a border crossing out in Alberta.

I was out of the country while all that was going on.
