Ontario pushes for more immigration amid labour crunch

TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is planning to raise immigration and skilled labour shortage issues at a meeting of premiers from across the country next week in Victoria.

The meeting is set to largely focus on health-care issues, with premiers hoping to press the government for increased Canada Health Transfer Funding.

Single companies lacking 700 staff? I am skeptical of the numbers Fordo is throwing around. This sounds more like a wage suppression gambit than a labour shortage.

And aren’t we in the middle of a housing shortage exasperated by Trudeau’s promise to Legault that he would dump the Roxham benefit seekers in Ontario?
