Trudeau’s Policies Anger All Sides
Trudeau ‘s in big trouble after his latest foreign worker announcement sparked major protests against him in Winnipeg. Absolutely no one is happy right now – he’s managed to turn everyone against him.
Both angry Canadians and foreign workers have united to rage against his failing leadership. It’s a full-on rebellion.
Chants of “Go home, Trudeau!” showed how his late U-turns on foreign workers have satisfied nobody. He’s lost all support after this stunning policy disaster.
Polls reveal Canadians demand cuts to foreign worker levels after Trudeau flung the doors wide open. But Trudeau still refuses accountability, deflecting blame as usual. He won’t admit his mistakes have ignited this firestorm of outrage from all sides against his foreign worker mismanagement.
The damage is already done from Trudeau’s uncontrolled spike in foreign labour without protections. Now his desperate reversal has left workers and employers seething and stranded.
The scenes in Winnipeg are just a preview of the massive backlash coming for Trudeau nationwide. He’s unleashed a tsunami of anger from Canadian workers being screwed over by his failed policies, and foreign workers alike.
Protests Erupt Against Trudeau
Justin Trudeau’s latest announcement on foreign workers this week was met with unprecedented protests from all sides in Winnipeg, due to his mishandling of the temporary foreign worker program.
Chants of “Go home, Trudeau!” echoed as neither citizens nor migrants showed any support for the embattled Prime Minister. He’s managed to dissatisfy everyone through his reckless U-turns and broken promises.
This wave of outrage in Winnipeg builds on festering resentment nationwide over Trudeau’s foreign worker fiasco. Polls show up to 70% of Canadians demand reduced intake after Trudeau flung open the doors. Migrant advocates slam the rampant abuse enabled under his watch.
But in typical Trudeau fashion, he refuses accountability for the crises his misguided policies ignite. Instead he scolds citizens for not embracing his “vision,” while dismissing migrant mistreatment as unavoidable.
Trudeau’s mishandling of temporary foreign workers is a case study in mismanagement. First he aggressively accelerated the program, admitting over a million migrants claiming that pandemic labour shortages mounted.
Desperate employers relied on low-wage migrant labour as Trudeau kept the tap flowing. He ignored experts warning of damaging dependency on cheap foreign workers over training Canadians.
The results have been disastrous. Evidence shows unemployed Canadians are being displaced by exploitable foreign recruits. And migrant rights activists describe indentured servitude conditions akin to modern slavery.
Now with unpopularity looming, Trudeau cynically reversed course to reduce foreign intake. But this whipsaw policy shift left both employers and migrant workers stranded and furious.
In Winnipeg, temporary foreign workers protested Trudeau reneging on his promise they could apply for permanent residency. They chanted “Fulfill your promise, Trudeau!” after Trudeau gave them the promise of the Canadian dream and gave them a free pass.
But Trudeau won’t take responsibility for the mess he created. Even though Canadians were demanding action to limit foreign workers coming into Canada, he chose to ignore them. Now, both Canadians and foreign workers are equally frustrated with Trudeau.
He simply maintains bringing them in temporarily was “the right thing” at the time. No apologies for the havoc his mismanagement continues to wreak.
Trudeau’s employment minister Randy Boissonnault claims public support for immigration remains strong, but “not uncontrolled.” Yet Trudeau’s flip-flopping epitomizes lack of control. Calling his management of this file “uncontrolled” is being kind.
First green lighting over a million migrant workers, then abruptly cutting intake displays zero foresight.
Trudeau’s heavy reliance on migrants also left Canadians jobless. His addiction to temporary foreign workers let skills gaps in the domestic workforce grow worse. Instead of bringing in more foreign workers, he should have invested in training Canadians. But guess why he’s decided to cap it now? Because he’s an out-of-touch politician trying to get re-elected.
Trudeau Refuses Accountability
Now Trudeau wants plaudits for pledging to reduce migrant intake he irresponsibly spiked. He expects praise for partly reversing a problem of his own making. This typifies his “cleaning up my own mess” approach to leadership.
Canadians won’t soon forget how Trudeau’s uncontrolled immigration damaged our labour markets and social fabric. He ignored pleas for reasonable limits while dismissing subsequent joblessness and unaffordability.
Trudeau’s government even had the gall to claim their temporary worker surge was not fueling unemployment. Yet all evidence showed spiking youth jobless rates as migrant competition soared.
Trudeau’s Liberal loyalists were fully prepared to enable his floundering leadership instead of acting in the country’s best interests.
As polls show Canadians overwhelmingly rejecting Trudeau’s direction, his ministers robotically voice support, exposing their self-serving motivations.
Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland and Immigration Minister Marc Miller embarrassingly proclaimed full confidence in Trudeau’s rudderless governance.
Overall Trudeau’s foreign worker mismanagement has been an unmitigated disaster. Rampant intake with minimal oversight brought migrant mistreatment and worker displacement.
Slashing the intake now has left literally no one happy. Migrants wanted the ongoing chance to get hired, while Canadians know deep down that Trudeau is just doing this now to do some damage control and try to get re-elected.
And Trudeau’s hypocrisy on this file infuriates many. He claims concern for migrant welfare and says he cares about Canadian workers while sidelining them for cheap foreign recruits.
Trudeau’s double-speak and policy incoherence on temporary foreign workers has satisfied no one. He created cascading problems through mismanagement then worsened matters by flip-flopping.
The outrage greeting Trudeau in Winnipeg speaks volumes. When your policies upset both everyday citizens and the migrants you allowed in, you’ve utterly failed as a leader.
