We need more immigration. At least funneling them through education means they at least have to try to be semi knowledgeable at something.

All this does is put the blame on the wrong place. The problem is people buying homes as investments and not living in them. Put a tax on vacancy and on owning homes without living in them and see how much of a housing crisis we have after that.

What's the % they reduced rhemselves? From what I'm hearing there's already been a massive drop due to the word getting out you'll probably end up homeless and starve.

Weird how the Cons are the only pro immigration party now

The (Ontario) cons are pro-getting international students paying exorbitant tuition fees to fund public colleges, allowing them to reduce public education funding without repercussions.

Poilievre just promises to bring in more Indians (People from India)

I can’t find the comment but he said something about removing barriers from Indians getting Canadian citizenship

From the other thread:

Starting on Sept. 1, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday, the federal government will stop issuing postgraduate work permits to international students who graduate from programs provided under so-called Public College-Private Partnerships.
