Then, hopefully, Canada’s sizable electorate of immigration restrictionists will overlook the fact that Scheer’s party isn’t doing much else they want. Canadians were skeptical as ever, with a large majority stating they’d like to see Canada’s immigration rates capped or lowered. In other words, an overwhelming majority favors the opposite of what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in October: a steady increase of Canada’s immigration intake over the next three years. The Conservative Party, however, has elected not to complain about the increase, instead suggesting Trudeau’s Liberals are just vaguely bad at managing Canada’s immigration bureaucracy. Canada's Conservatives have long fretted about the electoral consequences of pandering to a repulsive right-wing extreme.
