After surviving an abortive party revolt this week and with his personal popularity ratings in free fall, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is looking for ways to regain control of the narrative. And he may have just found one in the form of a major policy U-turn pledging to cut the country’s immigration targets. Flanked by immigration minister Marc Miller, Trudeau announced a 21% cut to next year’s permanent resident arrivals, from 500,000 to 395,000. This is to be followed by further cuts to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
