Smith und Poilievre finden jemanden, der für ihre Probleme verantwortlich ist: Einwanderer

They’re both pursuing a similar strategy, but the outcomes will be vastly different. This seems like it will work out quite well for Smith because the opposition has already rushed to call her a „nazi“ and seems to be taking a broadly pro-immigration stance, which is not the desire of the public at this moment.

Poilievre’s problem is that the federal government has already moved to restrict immigration, so he’s forced to go even further to the fringes, and the government seems to not have much difficulty shutting down his arguments.

Perhaps it’s the gap in political talent, perhaps it’s the different circumstances, but Smith is safely on track to win the next election, while Poilievre is not.

Well, after 2-3+ years of scapegoating trans children, doctors, and teachers hasn’t solved any of their problems, they’ll gladly move on to the next boogeyman: back to blaming immigrants for all our problems! How original?

„No, no, it isn’t *my* fault I failed my math class – it was Jamal and Jose and Ahmed, *they’re* the reason I failed!“ cry the conservatives, desperately trying to deflect attention away from their utter inability to resolve the cost of living crises that Canadians have desperately begged for progress on since COVID.

I do hope that Liberal and NDP supporters would be prepared to confront critiques of our immigration policy in good faith and an open mind.

That said, I’m not particularly optimistic. Asking why asylum seekers are entitled to government-funded vision care or therapy on top of housing but Canadians are not is a valid question, but like clockwork it was met with claims of racism and language intended to derail the conversation on-arrival.

The Liberals seem to be 2 years behind the rest of the country when it comes to these sorts of issues, so perhaps we’ll see them address it in 2028.
