Poilievre: "Our youth are desperate. They can't find homes. They can't find jobs. And now Mark Carney wants to bring in more temporary foreign workers to make it even harder"

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

The Carney government's new immigration figures are them telling you, as clearly as they possibly can, that your simple desire to live in a country with competitive wages, affordable housing and accessible publuc services can get fucked.

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Canada's Mass Immigration (2017 to 2025) was the worst economic policy decision in Canadian history.

It was NOT progressive; it was, in fact, extremely REGRESSIVE.

It transferred wealth and market power:
➡️from the Young to the Old,
➡️from the Poor to the Rich,
➡️from Labour to Corporations, and
➡️from the Renter Class to the Owner Class.

Prior to 2015, immigration to Canada was high and focused on high-skilled, high-wage labour.

In 2015, THIS government CHANGED the RULES, which shifted the focus to low-skilled, low-wage labour. This hurt the job prospects of young Canadians entering the labour market, put downward pressure on wages and lowered Canada's productivity. ➡️https://t.co/copth8TaQr)
It also increased housing costs, particularly for renters, who tend to be poorer and younger. ➡️https://t.co/J8WaEyiAyl

In short, it was horrific for the youngest, poorest and most vulnerable in our society. Never mind the social upheaval it caused.

Now that Job Vacancies have normalized and rents are falling, this government is floating the idea of raising immigration. It is outrageous. Worse, it is, again, being pitched as progressive when it is not. It hurts the Working Class; Bernie Sanders was right...https://t.co/JdAkaqwpi2

The only thing that will improve the standard of living for working-class people is productivity growth. That's it.

David Friedberg reveals France's public spending is 57% of GDP: greater than that of communist countries

"This chart is a measure of public spending as a percent of GDP; Rand Group Research published it. And you can see the comparison of France's public spending as a percent of GDP, to the peak public spending as a percent of GDP of major communist nations, Soviet Union during, communist Romania, Venezuela under Chavez, and then communist China."

"It certainly been a socialist state, right? That's my point. I think this is such a precious lesson for the West to look at. We all think that there's some political problem with Macron or whoever it was."

"The more the government spends, the worse the conditions get for its people, not the opposite. And then the people riot and revolt and say that the government's not spending enough and the government needs to be doing more."

"Take a guess where the US is today. Federal government spending is $7.4 trillion, state and local government spending is $4.6 trillion. You add those two together, it's $12 trillion out of a $33 trillion GDP. US public spending is roughly 36% of GDP. France today is the same as the US, it's about 120% debt to GDP."

"France today is operating its national government spending deficit is 5.4% of GDP. The US is actually 6.2% of GDP. France is I think probably the first to go because they're only growing their economy at half a percent while the US is growing 2.3%."

"So we're still kind of hanging on because we have some degree of economic growth that's allowing us to kind of hold things together."

"But I would argue that we are facing the same sort of fiscal cliff that leads to this extraordinary social unrest as France, all the economic measures are aligned, we're at the same rate, we're at the same set of problems."

@MichelleRempel going off on mass immigration for about 20 minutes is just what I needed today.

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

The Canadian government's mass immigration policies of the last 10 years were highly regressive. Having seemingly learned nothing, they are dead set on turning back on the taps rather than letting the country heal.

On cue, the media has begun parroting the government's narrative and gaslighting anyone who disagrees. This suggests that they remain blissfully unaware that the Bank of Canada has written extensively about how (mass) immigration has negatively affected housing, rents, inflation, labour supply, wages, and productivity. So I've compiled an inexhaustive list to help these folks.

🏘️- Monetary Policy Report, October 2023
🔗https://t.co/SEbnY0q7OP
▶️"The strength in rent and other housing costs is partly due to strong housing demand, which is supported by rapid population growth, and a structural lack of housing supply"

🏘️- Staff Analytical Note, December 2023
🔗https://t.co/9GBnLQ0Jvm
▶️"The rise in immigration is nonetheless contributing to pressures in inflation components linked to house prices, given that it is adding more to housing demand than to housing supply in the context of structural imbalances in the Canadian housing market."

🏘️ - Speech by Toni Gravelle, December 2023
🔗https://t.co/ufc1t3Gpcm
▶️"When a country’s population is growing quickly, the supply of housing also needs to increase to avoid a worsening in affordability. Shortly after immigration began ramping up in 2015, Canada’s vacancy rate—a measure of how many apartments and houses there are available to rent or buy—started to fall."

🏘️ - Monetary Policy Report, January 2024
🔗https://t.co/sfc8zh9PKN
▶️"A larger increase in newcomers than in the past is adding pressure to the structural supply constraint in housing. This has helped to push the overall housing vacancy rate to record lows, which has underpinned house prices and led to higher rents (Chart 3-A)."

🏘️ - Staff Analytical Note, April 2024
🔗 https://t.co/DxddEOAy0J
▶️"Meanwhile, the composition of immigrants coming to Canada has changed considerably since 2015. Historically, growth of the immigrant population in Canada came mostly from permanent residents....While the wages of the earlier immigrants are closer to those of Canadian-born workers and have been increasing over time, those of non-permanent residents are much lower and have fallen over this period. Because real hourly wages are typically correlated with labour productivity, this piece of evidence is consistent with non-permanent residents working in less productive occupations."

🏘️ - Monetary Policy Report, July 2024
🔗https://t.co/8d5YkjtRPL
▶️"The increase in housing demand from newcomers is being felt across all types of housing, but the largest initial impact tends to be in rental markets. This is because most newcomers start out as renters."

👨‍🌾 - Staff Analytical Note, May 2025
🔗https://t.co/6mDXPFN3Ka
▶️"if newcomers’ conditional wages reflect their labour productivity, the productive capacity of the Canadian economy grew less than it would have if recent newcomers had the same socio-economic characteristics as in the past."
▶️"However, this gain has been particularly acute for certain industries such as accommodation and food services, business, building and other support services, and retail trade. Labour productivity in these industries—which are comprised of a sizable share of lower-skilled occupations—is lower than the average in the business sector."

👨‍🌾 - Staff Analytical Note, May 2025
🔗https://t.co/XKUoE9FiFn
▶️"Youth—individuals 15–24 years of age—represent a significant portion of the overall increase in unemployment since the start of 2023. This is a larger share than during other periods of rising unemployment (Chart 5). This is partly due to the high number of immigrants, who are generally younger than the rest of the population."

👨‍🌾 - Speech by Nicolas Vincent, May 2026
🔗https://t.co/69YWWTPvji
▶️“The labour market is particularly challenging for young people”: The 2022–24 influx of young newcomers “intensified competition in Canada for lower-skill and entry-level jobs”. Youth unemployment has risen above 14%, and he expects it may normalize now that immigration has been cut.

🏘️ - Staff Article, September 2026

▶️"Strong population growth drove asking rents higher in recent years"

Carney is at it again — recycling the same inflated immigration numbers in today’s Alberta referendum presser that he used on Red FM and elsewhere

He claims:
* Asylum seekers down 70%
* Temporary foreign worker flows down 60%
* Foreign students down 80%
“over the course of the last 18 months.”

Here’s the actual data from IRCC and government sources:

* Asylum: Full-year 2025 was only a 34% drop (114,515 claims vs ~173,000 in 2024). The ~68–70% figure only appears when you compare early-to-mid 2026 against the 2024 peak. That’s not “the last 18 months.”
* Temporary workers: Full-year 2025 new arrivals were closer to 47% lower than 2024. Jan–Aug 2026 vs the same period in 2024 is ~57%. The 60% is a selective partial-year snapshot, not the sustained 18-month reality.
* Students: Full-year 2025 new arrivals fell ~61% from 2024. The 80% figure is for January–July 2026 versus the same months in 2024. Again, cherry-picking the steepest recent window.

The temporary-arrival cuts from the 2023–24 peak are real. Presenting the most flattering partial-period percentages as if they describe the entire last 18 months is not. Permanent resident targets remain near 380,000 — still far above pre-Trudeau historical norms — and one-time programs plus existing temporary residents keep the overall numbers elevated

This is the same pattern: take the most dramatic recent comparison, drop the full-year context, and sell it as “we’ve taken back control.” Albertans voting on the other nine questions (including greater provincial say on immigration) heard a carefully edited version of the record

Strange how the paid press gallery keeps hearing Carney utter the same false numbers and go silent @MarkJCarney
