Trudeau's stunning immigration policy U-turn after polling tanked

Daily Mail  

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a surprising new shift in immigration policy as his Liberal Party trails in the polls. 'In the tumultuous times, as we emerged from the pandemic, between addressing labor needs and maintaining population growth, we didn't get the balance quite right,' Trudeau said. Trudeau said Canada needs to stabilize its population growth to allow all levels of government to make necessary changes to health care, housing and social services so that it can accommodate more people in the future. Under Trudeau, Canadian immigration officials have approved fewer visas this year and border officials turned growing numbers of visa-holders away, data obtained by Reuters revealed.
