Episode Details

A new poll shows majority support in Canada for giving provinces more control over immigration, with 65% backing provinces setting their own levels and choosing immigrants based on economic needs. Albertas government plans a referendum to limit public services for temporary residents, reflecting a widespread sentiment that current support for newcomers is too generous. Support for this idea is strong across the country, with Quebec, Atlantic Canada, and even British Columbia showing majority backing. Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois voters show the strongest support. Canadians also favor specific restrictions, such as ending extra health coverage for asylum seekers and requiring twelve months as permanent residents for social programs. Quebec, which already has special immigration powers, recently lowered its targets to match capacity.
