Canadian Immigration Policy Shift
The likely next prime minister of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, has shifted his stance on migration, promising to deeply cut immigration levels in response to public rejection of Trudeau's mass migration policies. Poilievre's proposal is tied to home building and job creation rates, seeking to address housing affordability issues. Many are skeptical of his sudden change, with some voters supporting Maxime Bernier, who opposes Trudeau's migration policy. The shift comes as a response to public sentiment and a poll indicating conservative voters want reduced migration. The article also discusses the impact of migration on housing affordability and the economy in both Canada and the US.
