Liberals, media allies deceive Canadians on looming economic recession
Canada's economy is struggling, with a per capita recession hidden by mass immigration.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Canada's economy is struggling, with a per capita recession hidden by mass immigration. Will the Carney government intervene?
While Canada’s overall GDP continues to grow, due to millions of new migrants, individual Canadians are getting poorer. This economic deception, enabled by the media, allows the government to avoid addressing the true state of the economy.
The influx of immigrants, primarily low-skilled workers, family reunifications, and those falsely claiming refugee status, strains social services and depresses wages.
Youth unemployment is rising to its highest point in decades, and the temporary foreign worker program is criticized for undercutting Canadian workers.
Government solutions, such as the Finance Minister's call to "reinvent" the economy with AI, are seen as out-of-touch and ineffective.
Past attempts at diversification, like the costly Trans Mountain pipeline, have largely failed, leaving Canada overly reliant on the U.S. market.
Even international observers note Canada's economic mismanagement.
The media is accused of complicity in this deception, dismissing complaints as "racist" rather than reporting on the per capita recession. There's a growing sentiment of public frustration, with even some provincial leaders calling for immigration reform.
Should the Liberals finally get their act together, will it indeed be too late?
GUEST: CFIB's National Affairs Director, Christina Santini, on Temporary Foreign Workers and August job losses.

Jamie Fuller commented 2025-09-06 11:06:58 -0400Santini is unconvincing in her attempts to justify the huge influx of foreign workers for the benefit of small businesses that she represents. Of course, unpatriotic employers want to hire cheap foreign workers to increase the bottom line. She doesn’t take into account of the external costs to Canadian society of the healthcare, social services (public and private) and criminal law systems. It is sad that they want to socialize the costs of immigration but privatize the profits they make. Classic corporatism, not capitalism.

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-09-06 00:57:56 -0400I remember the government telling us that this country needed skilled workers during the 1980s. Thanks to the policies of PET and Mulroney, a lot of them were out of work, often for months at a time.
If the government told me that the sun was shining, I’d have to look out the window to make sure. -
Lance Humphries commented 2025-09-06 00:44:47 -0400Christina’s arguments were quite disingenuous! I pare things down to their simplest form. We didn’t need millions of TFW for 350yrs, now all of a sudden we can’t survive without them?!?! They’ve been great for farms for decades now, and I saw a report on those Mexican workers, and the $$ they make is 2/3 their annual salary, even though it’s a lower wage. But that’s only a few thousand each year. The rest gotta go!!!

Jayson Chabot commented 2025-09-05 22:45:40 -0400Missing from the TFW ‘debate’ is the cost of Remittance (money sent overseas) by workers who go home to live like Kings/Queens after making the equivalent of a multi-year wage during their temporary stay in Canada. Get rid of (or heavily tax) remittance and the TFW debate is resolved. -
Susan Ashbrook commented 2025-09-05 22:41:39 -0400If Booster Juice is offering $36 per hour, why do they need TFWs? Heck, I’d work there for that, and I’m Canadian! I don’t see it as demeaning to serve the public juice and smoothies. Call them Barista’s and give the job some prestige!
My granddaughter lost her restaurant job to a temporary worker and my daughter-in-law can’t find a job as a PSW because she is Canadian trained and doesn’t come with a wage subsidy.
Your guest (kudos to her for taking the opposite side with you), made some thoughtful points. The whole program needs a serious re-think. We can do much better… for everyone involved. -
Ruth Bard commented 2025-09-05 22:28:43 -0400Sorry, but with youth unemployment in the double digits, there’s no friggin’ way Tim’s and others of that ilk should be bringing in TFWs. And I don’t believe for a minute that those jobs are being advertised to Canadians first. Bollocks.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-09-05 21:06:42 -0400We can hope that Carney will be replaced before the economy crashes. Stacking it with foreigners is only a temporary solution. Sooner or later, those economic birds will come home to roost.

Wayne Venables commented 2025-09-05 20:50:44 -0400The cfib doesn’t represent biz they are govt asset. The lockdowns proved it.
She can barely stand to talk to you. They want to garner favour with govt.
