Poilievre's Right — Canada Needs a Hard Cap on Immigration
National Post ^ | Jul 18, 2025 | Michael Taube

We need time to get our economic house in order before letting in more people

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has long recognized what the Liberals have only started to acknowledge: immigration levels in Canada are too high and unsustainable. He has a plan to get things back under control, and it’s a sensible political strategy to take.

Poilievre suggested a new immigration policy for the Conservatives in June. “We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system,” he said at a press conference last month. “The population has been growing out of control, our border has been left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and much worse.”

Global News asked him to elaborate on his remarks at a press conference in Ottawa this week. “In order to fix the problem,” he replied, “we’ve got to put very hard caps on immigration levels. We need more people leaving than coming for the next couple of years … so our country can actually catch up.”

In addition, Poilievre pointed out that, “We’ve had population growth of roughly a million a year under the Liberals, while we barely build 200,000 homes. Our job market is stalled and yet we are adding more people to the workforce. Our young people are facing generational highs in unemployment because … multinational corporations are giving jobs to low-wage temporary foreign workers.”

He’s right. Conservatives recognize the importance of immigration on everything from promoting diversity to achieving economic success, but they also recognize that Canada simply can’t handle the financial burden that the annual influx of immigration has caused over the past decade of Liberal rule.

Or as Antony Soprano would say, “We need to cap immigrants!”

Is he going to deport the Indian scammers, or does he still consider to be “victims” of Trudeau’s promises? Young people can’t get jobs because the Indian managers own the service sector and will only hire their co-ethnics. It’s not “multi-national” corporations.

Go to Niagara Falls Canada on any weekend evening in the summer.

You will not see a white person. It’s entirely South Asians. Literally hundreds of thousands of them.

“on everything from promoting diversity to achieving economic success”

Diversity is the problem.

Nobody believes this Douche on anything related to immigration !

During the campaign he was campaigning for direct flights to Amritsar, India.

Now, with a Leadership Review looming, PeeWee turns into Enoch Powell.

No Sale !
