Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

All true & good points. Still, provinces asking is a non-zero factor (although admittedly far from the only one).

So, depending on the political glasses someone's wearing, Ottawa is either 1) being the adult and telling provinces, "no, we can't bring THAT many more people in," or 2) ignoring the will of a level of government closer to most people than the feds are.

Or both at the same time.

Where did most of those come from? SPs - so education and PNPs which is the provincial nominee program. The provinces asked for this on both counts.

When your kid asks for ice cream for supper you shouldn't give it to them.

Of course provinces will ask for both. It amounts to cheap, practically slave labour.

The feds arent without blame and they need to scrap the broken TFW system yesterday

True and true.

but the provinces wanting these people and then doing nothing about the housing stock under their jurisdiction created a firestorm.

Letting them in the door in the first place created the firestorm. Provincial failures added fuel.

The Liberals brought in 2 million souls last year knowing there wasn't enough places to live and not enough social services like doctors.
