In October 2024, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau announced an about-face on mass immigration, admitting: “We didn’t get the balance quite right.”
Trudeau’s mea culpa ranks among the starkest understatements in recent political memory: record-breaking immigration levels contributed to a severe housing shortage, strained public services to the breaking point, suppressed wage growth and, in the process, shattered Canada’s once-stable pro-immigration consensus.
Never believe academics, the corporate class or politicians when it comes to immigration.
