🇨🇦 After wrecking the system, Ottawa suddenly discovers merit

A new report says Canada should undo Trudeau’s 2023 immigration rewrite and go back to choosing people who can actually thrive here economically. Imagine that. For three years, Ottawa sidelined the old points model in favour of political box-checking, profession targeting and French preference games, while GDP per capita crawled up just 3.5 percent from 2014 to 2024, dead last among nine peers. The U.S. managed 20.2 percent. That is not nation-building. That is managed decline with diversity branding, as reported.

Now Mark Carney gets to play cleanup crew after the Trudeau class spent a decade treating immigration like a moral vanity project and a wage-suppression tool. Even the technocrats are admitting the obvious: verify foreign credentials, tighten international student admissions, tie intake to economic growth, and stop importing people into a housing shortage and productivity slump. Canada needs an immigration system that serves Canadians first, not liberal talking points, consultant lobbies and post-national fantasies.
