Canada’s ‘Pause’ on Immigration-Driven Population Growth May Be a Statistical Illusion

Last fall, Ottawa responded to a surge in public support for immigration restriction with a cut to immigration levels that it promised would “pause population growth in the short term” to ease “pressures on housing, infrastructure and social services.” But a curious question about this policy U-turn is beginning to emerge: Is Canada’s population growth really on pause?

A new report by Benjamin Tal, CIBC’s deputy chief economist, argues that the federal government is significantly overstating the effect its immigration cut will have on population growth—a statistical undercounting that could hamper Canada’s ability to plan for our social services, infrastructure, and housing needs.

HARDING: The English debate was tilted against Poilievre from the start

Last night’s English debate was not some even-handed affair, designed simply to inform Canadians and leave them to their own conclusions. In subtle ways, viewers were set up to favour Mark Carney over Pierre Poilievre in ways most probably didn’t realize.

Young people should not consider voting for the party that killed their dreams of home ownership

This is what Carney and his predator pal Mark Wiseman have in store for young people. People are just cord wood to them.

Which party leader will help young Canadians? Old and young disagree, Nanos poll finds

… Broken down by age, those in the 18 to 34 category were by far the most likely to trust Poilievre and the Conservatives to help young Canadians over Carney and the Liberals, at 38 per cent and 26.4 per cent, respectively.

Respondents who were age 55 or older had the opposite view, with 41.4 per cent naming Carney as the most trustworthy on that issue and 25.8 per cent favouring Poilievre.

Those in the 35 to 54 category were more evenly split between the two leaders and their parties, leaning towards Poilievre and the Conservatives by just 1.8 percentage points.

Mass immigration caused the housing shortage.

It was a thoughtlessly cruel policy decision by the Liberal government that has visited great harm to Canadians.

Michael Taube: Are cracks developing in the Liberal strategy to lionize the progressive vote?

Since Mark Carney became Prime Minister on March 9, the Liberals have been leading in most opinion polls. The reason for this significant shift was fear, anger and revulsion about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. This, in turn, was combined with an unfounded belief that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was Trump’s Canadian equivalent, in spite of the fact the two leaders have vastly different political and ideological beliefs.

The NDP is not going to win the election. But no one is forcing it to lose so badly

The dynamics of this election campaign have been nothing if not unusual. Consider, for example, that the Liberals’ remarkable ascent has had very little to do with the flagging fortunes of their Conservative rivals — and plenty to do with the near-collapse of the NDP and Bloc Québécois.

Support for the independantistes has declined almost exclusively due to threats from U.S. President Donald Trump toward Canada’s economy and sovereignty. What the Bloc offers Quebec — namely, the protection of its cultural and linguistic rights — is simply not much in demand right now. Among Quebecers, a surprising increase in Canadian nationalism and a growing sense of common cause with the rest of the country have made the Bloc all but irrelevant.

Singh’s support of Trudeau sealed his fate.

Terry Newman: Debate commission loses to Rebel News again

Shortly after 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, before the English Leaders Debate in Montreal ended, word began to spread on X that the media scrum that was to immediately follow the debate was cancelled. The reason given to reporters by the Leaders’ Debate Commission’s Executive Director Michel Cormier: “We don’t feel that we can actually guarantee a proper environment for this activity.” This did not please members of the press. One could be heard shouting out: “Why? This is an infringement of the liberty of the press. This is your one job!”

Dramatic rise in fake political content on social media as Canada prepares to vote

More than a quarter of Canadians have been exposed to fake political content on social media that is “more sophisticated and more politically polarizing” as the country prepares to vote in a federal election, researchers have found, warning that platforms must increase protections amid a “dramatic acceleration” of online disinformation in the final weeks of the campaign.

In a new report released on Friday, Canada’s Media Ecosystem Observatory found a growing number of Facebook ads impersonating legitimate news sources were instead promoting fraudulent investment schemes, often involving cryptocurrency.

This is gaslighting.

HAUBRICH: Carney needs to leave Ottawa’s expensive and failed gun policy behind

Liberal Leader Mark Carney rebuilt his party by scrapping failed policies like the carbon tax, but there’s one apparent failure he’s doubling down on.

Carney announced that, if elected, he will “reinvigorate the implementation” of Ottawa’s gun ban and buyback program.

Carney should be listening to law enforcement experts and scrapping the expensive and ineffective gun buyback, not doubling down on the failed policy.

Carney appointed Liberal candidate’s suspect relations with China consulate trigger fresh concerns

New questions have surfaced about relations between a federal Liberal candidate running in Markham-Unionville and China’s consulate in Toronto, including his presentation of an award of appreciation to a consul-general and appearing to salute the Communist flag at an event celebrating the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

Did the Conservatives go too hard on Jagmeet Singh?

Back in the summer, the Conservative Party of Canada spent millions of dollars on an attack ad against NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. The ad showed Mr. Singh on the cover of a fake magazine called “Luxury Pensioner Monthly,” and rattled off some of the finer goods – Rolex watches, a BMW and a Versace bag – that the progressive leader had paired himself with over years. “But now he’s got a problem,” the narrator said. “He needs to delay the election ‘til next year when he qualifies for his $2-million pension.”

The narrator continued: “So he sold you out, signed on with Trudeau to raise taxes, crime and housing costs.”

Canada’s Gen Z Voters Turn to Conservative Poilievre in Race Against Carney

Giancarlo Zorrilla attended a campaign rally for the first time in his life in March. It was a rainy night near Vancouver — typical weather for Canada’s west coast — but that wasn’t stopping the 29-year-old Canadian from seeing Pierre Poilievre speak.

“It’s time for a change,” Zorrilla said on his way in to see the Conservative leader give a fervent, hour-long speech on skyrocketing housing prices and the failures of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Sure, Trudeau has stepped away from politics, but even a Trudeau-less Liberal Party is “still the same rock band,” Zorrilla mused.

Mark Carney’s Liberals hold slim but persistent lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, polls suggest

Heading into the Easter long weekend, Mark Carney’s Liberals have a slim lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in the April 28 election, according to Star’s election predictor, the Signal.

“There’s a bit of a narrowing of the lead. If the trend continues, it could be a very tight race,” Clifton van der Linden, a McMaster University political science professor and the CEO of Vox Pop Labs, the independent research organization that developed the Signal, which analyzes publicly available polling data in a supercomputer.
