What’s the right number of immigrants for Canada?

” … a new working paper from a trio of Canadian academic economists digs deeper into the issues around immigration. The paper, currently circulating in draft form under the title, The Economics of Canadian Immigration Levels, offers a scholarly but withering critique of current policy.

Liberals accuse Tories of ‘hijacking’ Parliament after threatening to filibuster

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is threatening to use procedural tools to delay passage of the federal budget in the House of Commons if the Liberals don’t meet his demands.

But Liberal House leader Mark Holland says the federal government won’t cower over the Tory threats.
