Our politicians are showing an uncanny ability to deliver self-inflicted wounds both provincially, federally and across the political spectrum
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford attend an announcement at Seneca College in King City, Ont., on Feb. 9.It’s become fashionable to bash Canada . As we prepare to celebrate our country’s birthday, we should put the negativity into perspective.We don’t face any obvious military threat, at least not in the way that Taiwan and many European nations do.
Perhaps, though, there is also a uniquely Canadian element to our national malaise. If so, it may stem from our unusual aptitude for creating our own problems. This ability to deliver self-inflicted wounds is present both provincially and federally and across the political spectrum.
The government’s incoherence on housing reflects its commitment to a similarly befuddled immigration agenda. Yet Mr. Trudeau ramped up the annual immigrant intake from a net total of roughly 200,000 people in 2015 to 300,000 by 2019 and more than 400,000 currently. Even more important, he allowed a vast expansion in the scale of programs that admit non-permanent residents – primarily international students and temporary workers – taking that category to more than 800,000 people this year.
