    I mean, they [the UCP] raised immigration up to “non-sustainable” levels in the first place, so why shouldn’t they be able to lower their immigration back again? Other than rank incompetence, of course.
    [Edit: put in the quotation marks that I really should have included in the first place, and clarified “they”.]

      Ottawa has absolutely strangled immigration already.

      All of the questions rested on faulty premises to begin with.

      The UCP has simply abandoned even attempting to govern. Their whole thing is just blame Ottawa. They’re just testing the waters about how cool people would be with also blaming immigrants.

      When you are incapable of governing: just blame. Oldest trick in the book. If you think back to all your worst bosses you’ve had in your life, I’m sure you’ll recognize the pattern.

      What was non-sustainable about the levels?

      Every 1% long-run increase in population raises income per capita by about 0.3% to 0.5% source
