Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

I don't think there is much of a trick to it. They could prob dust off some older, pre-2015, manuals on it and be quite successful.

The LPC spent a decade doing it very stupidly. And in the face of that, the Canadian voters have indicated they trust the LPC to have another crack at it. Should be fun.

Yeah. Down side of not doing it intelligently is when creates a feedback loop. Particularly when our population growth is faster than the expansion of housing and public infrastructure.

Sure. However we now have a vastly more economically literate and focused PM, and a distinctly different ministry. They’re all well aware of the political hazard immigration policy presents. I would be surprised if our immigration policy going forward isn’t much more firmly pragmatic and based on the national interest.

My aren't you optimistic.

Nah, I’ve just paid attention to actual policy changes that have already happened, and what they’ve signalled in terms of intent going forward. It’s all been coherent so far, and consistent with what we would expect of a government led by an experienced macroeconomist who understands the imperatives of population growth.

First, the claim that they "got a handle of the population increase" (permanent and temporary) is being challenged. More than a few political pundits have said stats can is not as forgiving as the government would like.
Nothing has been done about our joke of an asylum system and we still have a major back log, the government could easily introduce a bill to move it along quickly, especially when its broadly known most asylum seekers are bogus.

Any population growth MUST be tempered with home growth, sustainable job growth (NOT every immigrant should be shoved into fast food or chain stores) and infrastructure upgrades, including health care system (which is way overloaded).

Hey remember that Pierre guy who suggested we allow a system to recognize more international standards for medical doctors and nurses? Last election, you know, it was like a part of his platform most of you overlooked. Thats one example of a win-win, population growth and health care growth at the same time.

But keep ranting elbows up. From what I see, fuck all is being achieved in terms of actual results.
