HANNAFORD: Once, we did immigration right – and we can do it right again
About this episode
John Weissenberger discusses the failures of the current immigration system and advocates for a return to a merit-based points system.
Harper-era immigration insider John Weissenberger on how the Trudeau government replaced a proven, merit-based points system with low-skill chaos, exploding non-permanent residents and court-driven citizenship giveaways – and why a disciplined return to objective selection is the only realistic fix.
