Pierre Didn’t Need to Say Yes to Mass Immigration. He Just Needed a Riding Map.

The Conservative leader’s defenders say the CPC never endorsed high inflows. The record is more awkward: Amritsar flights, foreign-nurse licensing tours, a 2022 “pro-immigration” radio pitch

The Conservative leader’s defenders say the CPC never endorsed high inflows. The record is more awkward: Amritsar flights, foreign-nurse licensing tours, a 2022 “pro-immigration” radio pitch — then a hard turn once the polls turned. Harmony’s (CPC trolling me for years) defence of Pierre Poilievre is simple. The Conservative Party of Canada does not say yes to mass immigration. Maxime Bernier is unelectable. Michael Bator is spreading misinformation. Vote Pierre. That last instruction may still be how a lot of Canadians vote. It is not an answer to the charge. Bernier’s point was never that Poilievre published a manifesto titled Yes to Mass Immigration. It was that the Conservative leader changes with the wind: one script for Punjabi radio and festival season, another for the housing-and-wages audience once public opinion soured.

You can test that without mind-reading. You only need the clips, the petitions, and the dates. The Amritsar campaign was not a slip. It was the product. In April 2023, Poilievre stood in Brampton in a room holding banners that read “Direct Flights to Amritsar Now” and “Open the Skies to Amritsar.” This was not a stray remark on the way out the door. It was a launch. “Punjabi Canadians have been calling on the federal government to deliver direct flights between Amritsar and Canada,” he said. “But even after years of activism from the Punjabi community, the Liberal government has failed to fight gatekeepers and open the skies to Amritsar.”
Hindustan Times, April 2023Then the line that tells you who the policy was for: “I, along with my deputy leader Tim Uppal, shadow minister Jasraj Singh Hallan and a group of other conservatives, are launching a full campaign to get the direct flight from Canada to Punjab, especially Amritsar, so that over a million Canadians who have their origins in that part of the world can fly directly from our country to that beautiful place.”

Same Hindustan Times report He repeated the pitch to Indo-Canadian media the same week: Canada has the largest Punjabi diaspora in the world; London and Milan already have the route; seniors and families should not have to land in Delhi and drive. He said he had met the Indian High Commissioner, written the transport minister, and sat down with Air Canada and Air India.

Indo-Canadian Voice A week later he was at the Surrey Vaisakhi parade, thanking volunteers who “helped rally support… for a direct flight to Amritsar” and pointing people to the party petition.

Poilievre on X, April 23, 2023 That petition lived at conservative.ca/amritsar.This did not age out after one news cycle. In April 2025, on RED FM, he was still selling Toronto and Vancouver to Amritsar and blaming Liberals for failing to land a single direct flight after a decade. Singapore, Malaysia, the UAE, the UK, Italy — they had the route. Canada did not.

YouTube: “Pierre Poilievre Talks Donald Trump, Liberals, Income Tax Cuts and Direct Flights to Amritsar,” RED FM CANADA

A flight is not an immigration quota. Pretending otherwise is sloppy. Pretending this was just “cutting red tape for travellers” is sloppier. You do not build a named campaign, parade presence, petition URL, and years of Punjabi-media hits around a route to one city in one Indian state unless you are courting one electorate in Brampton, Surrey, Calgary, and the suburban ridings Conservatives cannot win without.

If the defence is “Canada First,” the question writes itself. Why that city, that community, that banner, that petition? “Bring home the nurses” was the other half of the circuit. The second exhibit is the Blue Seal. In March 2023 the party put it on paper. Foreign-trained doctors and nurses already in Canada were being blocked by “gatekeepers.” The numbers cited: 34,105 foreign-trained nurses and 18,900 foreign-trained doctors not working in their profession. Only 37 percent of foreign-credentialed nurses were working as nurses. The fix was a national competency test, an answer in 60 days, and a certificate that would travel across provinces that signed on. Poilievre’s own language went further than “process the paperwork.”“I will put an end to this bureaucratic madness and bring home our doctors and nurses to help fix our broken healthcare system. My plan will ensure foreign-trained healthcare workers can easily work in Canada.”

Conservative Party: “Remove Gatekeepers to Bring Home Doctors & Nurses”And: “The Blue Seal will mean that it won’t matter where someone comes from, it matters what they can do.”

Same page Then he took it on the community circuit.Winnipeg, Filipino community, June 2023: “There are 20,000 immigrant doctors & 32,000 immigrant nurses blocked from serving patients… so immigrant professionals can get tested and get to work within 60 days.”

Poilievre on X, June 2, 2023January 2024 video: “Maria is one of Canada’s 32,000 foreign-trained nurses blocked from working here. Let them take a test, prove they’re qualified & get to work.”

Poilievre on X, January 27, 2024Taste of Manila, August 2024: “Everyone is excited about removing gatekeepers to allow Filipino nurses to write a Blue Seal exam and get licensed to treat patients & reduce wait times.”

Poilievre on X, August 19, 2024Tamil community event, April 2024: Blue Seal for doctors, engineers, and nurses.

Poilievre on X, April 29, 2024Be precise, because the other side will be. Blue Seal is mainly about licensing people already here, not a new federal nurse-import quota.

That distinction matters. What also matters is the sales channel. The same leader who later talks about overwhelmed hospitals sold faster entry of foreign-trained clinicians to the exact diasporas whose votes the party has spent a decade chasing. “Cut the red tape” is popular in a waiting room and popular in a banquet hall. That is the point.The cleanest receipt is the flipIf Amritsar is the ethnic-vote file, the immigration-volume file is the weather vane.

November 2022. Exclusive interview with Harjit Singh Gill on Shere Punjab Radio. The title of the upload is not subtle: “Conservative party is pro-immigration.”Poilievre said it out loud. He also used a working example: a Punjabi restaurant that had been open four years and still could not serve customers because Ottawa would not process the cook. Bring in the cooks, he said, and the business could hire Canadian waitresses, receptionists, janitorial staff. Process economic immigration quickly. Speed foreign-credential recognition. Welcome everyone who wants to work hard.“The conservative party is pro-immigration and we want to be the party that welcomes everyone who wants to work hard and achieve their dreams.”

YouTube: Sherepunjab Radio, November 8, 2022CBC captured the same period. Poilievre told Punjabi radio the party was pro-immigration. At an ethnic-media roundtable he talked about expanding Express Entry, making it easier for temporary foreign workers to become permanent residents, and improving parent sponsorship.

CBC: “Pierre Poilievre thinks he can win over new Canadians,” December 2022That was the offer when the coalition still needed to be built and the housing revolt had not yet swallowed the issue.Watch the product change once the country did.January 2024: tie the number of people invited to the number of homes built.

CIC News summary of the Winnipeg press conferenceAugust 29, 2024: “We have to have a smaller population growth.” Curb the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the international student pipeline. Do not grow the population at three times the housing stock.

CBC: “Poilievre says he would cut population growth,” August 29, 2024By 2025 the line was “too many, too fast.” End the fraud in the student and TFW programs. Get back to something closer to the old system.

He can hold both thoughts in one speech now — welcome the ones who contribute, license the doctors and nurses, and cap the numbers — because that is what a professional opposition does after the median voter moves.

Global News transcript of his convention speechThat is allowed in politics. It is not evidence of a man who does the unpopular thing because it is right. It is evidence of a man who found the popular thing twice: first among the communities he needed to peel off the Liberals, then among the voters who decided the last decade of inflows had broken housing, wages, and hospitals.

Same leader. Different room. Different script. What the defence actually requires you to believe. To keep Harmony’s version intact, you have to believe several things at once. You have to believe a multi-year Amritsar campaign, complete with parade troops and a party URL, is just aviation policy. You have to believe years of Filipino, Tamil, and Punjabi photo-ops around foreign-trained nurses are just health-care reform that happened to be filmed in banquet halls. You have to believe “the Conservative party is pro-immigration,” plus faster cooks from abroad, plus TFW-to-PR, was a temporary misunderstanding.

You have to believe the later “too many, too fast” turn was always the plan, merely waiting for the correct week to be announced.Or you can believe the ordinary thing: Pierre Poilievre is very good at finding the vote. In 2022 the vote he needed lived in ethnic media and suburban temples and festivals. By 2024 the vote he needed lived in the comments under every rental listing in Toronto and Vancouver. He served both.That is not a secret Liberal talking point. It is how you win a Canadian election if you are a Conservative who watched 2015 and decided the party would never again be caricatured as hostile to new Canadians — until hostility to the volume became the majority position, at which point the volume became the scandal.Bernier’s insult was that this is poll-chasing.

The generous version is coalition management. The operational version is the same: do not pick a fight that costs a seat you can keep with a banner.The question that survives the talking pointsNone of this proves Poilievre wants “open borders.” He does not run on that, and he has spent the last two years running against it. None of it proves every foreign-trained nurse should stay unlicensed while emergency rooms buckle. Canadians can want faster credentialling and lower inflows. Those are not opposites.

The question is narrower, and it is the one Harmony ducked.If the Conservative Party does not say yes to mass immigration, why did its leader spend the building years saying yes to the politics that produced it — faster foreign labour, faster family and community traffic to Punjab, faster professional entry sold community by community — and only discover the brake once the country was already screaming about rent?

A leader who does what is right whether or not it is popular would have told the 2022 radio audience the thing he tells rallies now: the pipeline was too wide, the colleges were a racket, the TFW program was eating entry-level jobs, and a direct flight is not a substitute for an integration policy.

He did not. He told that room what that room wanted. He told the next room what the next room wanted. That is not backbone. That is a weather vane with a petition link.

If you want the CPC line, Harmony already wrote it. If you want the file, it is all still online. Start with the Brampton banners, the Vaisakhi post, the Shere Punjab interview, and the party page that promised to bring the nurses home. Then read the 2024–26 speeches and ask what changed besides the polls.

Maxime Bernier Says Canada’s Identity is Being Erased

Posted on by

Seven years ago, the People’s Party was founded to sound the alarm.

Today, that alarm is a siren.

Canada is being erased—not by accident, but by design.

We were never meant to be a loose collection of ethnic enclaves, a patchwork of foreign cultures with no common story, no common ground, no common future.

Yet that is exactly what decades of Liberal and Conservative policy have delivered: a nation stripped of its identity, defined only by divisive dogma—radical multiculturalism, woke ideology, and the cult of diversity.

But Canada has an identity. A real one.

Built on Indigenous, French, and British foundations, and strengthened by generations of immigrants who came not to replace our heritage, but to join it.

Since the 1970s, this identity has been under attack. 

Mass immigration without integration, official multiculturalism without unity, and now, the toxic spread of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and anti-white racism—all aided and abetted by successive Liberal and Conservative governments.

If everything can be Canadian, then nothing is Canadian.

And if we continue down this path, Canada will not survive.

Quebec will leave. Alberta will go its own way. What remains may simply dissolve.

We are running out of time—and Pierre Poilievre’ Conservatives offer no vision, no courage, only pandering and a thirst for power.

This is not a drill. This is the fight for Canada’s future.

We must raise $200,000 by December 31 to fuel this fight. 

We’re one-third of the way there—but we need you now.

Finally Some Sense on Immigration From the Conservatives:  Pierre Poilievre Calls Out Liberals For Overshooting Their Own Immigration Targets

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government, accusing them of broken immigration promises and exacerbating Canada’s housing, healthcare, and employment crises.

In a statement posted to X on Monday, Poilievre said a “Canada First immigration and refugee system” should only admit “the right people in the right numbers so our jobs, healthcare and housing can catch up.”

Instead, he said the Liberals’ “radical open-borders policies broke Canada’s immigration system and made all these problems worse, which isn’t fair to anyone.”

Poilievre pointed to new mid-year figures showing the government exceeding its self-imposed caps in several categories.

He said 105,000 temporary foreign worker permits have already been issued, compared to a promised cap of 82,000 for the entire year, while 302,000 people entered through the International Mobility Program in the first six months of the year, surpassing the target of 285,000 for all of 2025.

He noted the government’s permanent resident intake remains historically high, with totals on track to exceed projections.

According to Poilievre, that would amount to welcoming the equivalent of “twice the population of Guelph and the population of Abbotsford” in a single year.

The Conservative leader also cited pressures on the asylum system, claiming the backlog has risen by 2,920 per cent since 2015, with hearing wait times now stretching beyond four years.

“These new numbers mean more delays, turning Canada’s asylum process into a waiting-room of broken promises,” he said.

Poilievre tied the figures to broader economic concerns, arguing Canada now faces “the lowest youth employment since 1998” while issuing a record number of temporary worker visas.

Carney, who took office in March after the Liberals won a third straight minority, has previously pledged to bring stability to the immigration system.

The Conservative leader argued that “these results show he’s worse,” accusing the prime minister of backing “out-of-control” policies that “delivered a triple-header crisis in housing, health care, and youth unemployment.”

Poilievre said the Conservatives will table detailed proposals this fall aimed at overhauling the system and “fixing what the Liberals broke.”

EXCLUSIVE: Poilievre suggests capping immigration at Harper-era levels, deportations for wrongdoers

Poilievre has confirmed his plans to reduce immigration levels to Stephen Harper-era levels and deport those who break Canada’s laws while on temporary visas, in an exclusive interview with Juno News

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has confirmed his plans to reduce immigration levels to Stephen Harper-era levels and deport those who break Canada’s laws while on temporary visas, in an exclusive interview with Juno News co-founder Candice Malcolm.

Juno News is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

On the broader issue of immigration levels, Poilievre stated that the current annual intake of permanent residents — set to reach 500,000 in 2025 — is unsustainable and has contributed to Canada’s housing crisis.

He proposed a return to the levels of previous Conservative governments, which were around 200,000 to 250,000 per year, aligning population growth with the number of new homes being built.

“It would be a lot more like the Harper numbers that were basically the same for 40 years before Trudeau took office — we were bringing in about 200,000 to 250,000 a year,” said Poilievre.

“We were building about the same number of homes as we were adding people, so we had a housing surplus. I would bring in a simple mathematical formula: we cannot bring in people faster than we add houses.”

According to Poilievre, the formula would be based on the homebuilding numbers from the prior year as well as population growth targets.

“I would actually make sure that we’re building housing surpluses over the next four years because that’s how we close the gap that has built up,” said Poilievre.

Poilievre also made it clear that his government would swiftly deport non-citizens who commit crimes while in Canada on temporary status. He emphasized that those engaging in violent acts, such as firebombing businesses or places of worship, should be immediately arrested and deported.

“I don’t know how anybody can disagree with that. If someone shows up in our country claiming to be a student or a temporary worker and they start firebombing coffee shops, bakeries, synagogues, or any other place, then they need to be immediately arrested and deported,” said Poilievre in reference to recent pro-Hamas protests rocking Canada.

“If someone is obviously a citizen, they should be prosecuted through our legal system and put in prison here in Canada for those sorts of crimes.”

Poilievre added the federal government also has to take the issue of illegal immigration seriously and expedite deportations for those found to be in Canada under false pretences.

“If someone comes in, makes a false asylum claim, and it gets rejected, they’re supposed to leave today,” said Poilievre.

“The challenge we’re going to face is that under nine years of the Carney-Trudeau Liberals’ open border policies, we now have millions of people whose permits are going to expire over the next two years. If they don’t leave, we have a very hard time even knowing they’re still here, finding them, and then carrying out a deportation.”

The Conservative leader, however, did indicate that among illegal immigrants there were “some among them that we do want to keep.”

“They could be a master’s graduate in computer engineering with a six-figure job in Kitchener-Waterloo, someone who has started a family, integrated, speaks the language. This is someone we want to keep,” said Poilievre.

“But we need to be able to make that decision ourselves through selection based on these criteria — not just by accident because people who are not eligible to stay decide they’re not going to leave.”

According to Poilievre, the Canadian government should implement further refugee reviews for claims, including what he calls a “last in, first out” approach.

“This is how it works: if you’re the last person to enter the country, your claim is immediately heard. Within a couple of weeks, if your claim is false, you’re sent back. What that does is send the signal to everyone who might come in the future that they’re going to be sent home automatically,” said Poilievre.

“The problem right now is that if someone gets in illegally — even if they’re not a real refugee, they’re not fleeing danger — they have seven or eight years of appeals, during which we’re paying for their hotels, lawyers, food, and healthcare, above and beyond what Canadians get.”

OUR OWN IMPORTED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS — THANK WACKO “REFUGEE” POLICIES & LAX SCREENING

Alleged ISIS-inspired Toronto attack plotter facing additional war crimes charges

Ahmed Eldidi, 62, was granted Canadian citizenship earlier this year after allegedly participating in a gruesome torture video for ISIS in 2015.

Rebel News

A man suspected of plotting a terrorist attack along with his son at the behest of ISIS is facing additional war crimes charges in Canada.

Ahmed Eldidi and his son Mostafa Eldidi, 26, were originally arrested at a Richmond Hill, Ont. hotel in July of this year after authorities believed they were going to imminently commit a “violent, serious attack” in Toronto.

The younger Eldidi was reportedly in possession of a machete at the time of the arrests while his father was allegedly in possession of an axe.

The elder Eldidi is now being charged with war crimes offences in relation to an ISIS propaganda video posted online in 2015 that allegedly shows him dismembering a prisoner while acting on behalf of the terrorist group.

https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-

As reported by the CBC, Eldidi is being charged with torture, mutilation, murder, and outrages upon personal dignity under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.

Both Eldidis are also being charged with conspiracy to commit murder along with other offences following their alleged terrorist plot for ISIS.

The two alleged terrorist’s arrests sparked a wave of criticism aimed at the Liberal government and immigration officials over inadequate vetting procedures.

Speaking about the alleged terrorists earlier this year, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre condemned the Liberals’ immigration measures and pledged to increase security.

“We will also secure our borders to make sure that never again do accused ISIS terrorists get into our country and become citizens of Canada,” he said.

Poilievre emphasized that Eldidi was allowed into Canada “even after the existence of a video apparently showing that same terrorist mutilating a human body on a crucifix during the ISIS war of over a decade ago.”

“These are the kinds of disastrous mistakes [and] radical approaches of the Liberal government that must end so that we can replace their costly incompetence with our common sense,” he added.

Eldidi is reportedly the first Islamic State-linked terror suspect to be charged in Canada under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. (Rebel News, December 17, 2024)

Mike Bator, People’s Party of Canada Candidate in Burlington, On Immigration Reform:

Posted on by

Access to Canada was once a carefully managed privilege, considering individual character, national needs, and capacities. It took into account our ability to build houses and sustain population growth while maintaining infrastructure like education, transportation, and healthcare.

Immigrants didn’t always have degrees or higher education—take my grandparents, for instance, peasant farmers who fled post-WWI Poland. Back then, the government imposed rules about where immigrants could live. My grandparents spent five years in Edmonton to earn their citizenship before moving to Toronto and starting a family. My former father-in-law, a highly skilled electrician from Manchester, needed a sponsor to immigrate. His family of five initially shared a townhouse in Oakville with their sponsor before buying a home in rural Acton, where he later established a globally recognized airport runway lighting company.

Backed by solid financials, European Christian values, and a holistic approach to nation-building, immigrants thrived, contributing significantly to our nation. Now, we face what seems like a mass immigration invasion, straining our resources and infrastructure. We need a sound, manageable approach to immigration, not an overwhelming influx.

I’m tired of ineffective leadership and slogans that don’t address the real issues. No, Mr. Trudeau, we won’t let our nation be destroyed. No, Mr. Poilievre, we reject unrealistic housing solutions. No, Mr. Singh, your actions do not justify undermining Canada’s foundations. If you cherish Canada and want to preserve the country you grew up in, it’s time to reject these corrupt globalists. Vote for @MaximeBernier to protect our nation’s integrity and future

Maxime Bernier Warns People Not to Trust Pierre Poilievre

Subject: Poilievre will be a huge disappointment

Pierre Poilievre keeps saying he wants a “carbon tax election”.

He considers scrapping the carbon tax his most important priority.



This in itself should tell you all you need to know about how unambitious he is and how disappointing a Poilievre government will be.

(Let alone the fact that he will simply replace the carbon tax with subsidies to “green” technologies and carbon capture in order to reach the Paris Accord targets, which he still supports.)

If that’s his priority, how can anyone expect him to adopt any of the bold policies that Canada needs?

  • He won’t cut back unsustainable spending.
  • He won’t repeal Trudeau’s laws and abolish Trudeau’s programs.
  • He won’t stop sending money for foreign wars.
  • He won’t send to jail the transgender industry monsters who mutilate our kids.
  • He won’t stop mass immigration and protect Canadian identity.

If he were serious about fixing Canada’s problems, Poilievre would call for a “mass immigration election”, given this is by far the biggest issue we face and it is literally destroying our country.

But he won’t because he’s just Trudeau lite.

Lavone, the whole country is fed up with Trudeau and yes, realistically, yes, it’s almost guaranteed that Poilievre will be the next prime minister.

But that makes it even more important for the People’s Party to have strong showing at the next election.

There must be a credible populist and patriotic opposition to the next Conservative government, not just a collection of globalist and socialist parties.

We must be there to keep Poilievre on his toes and offer a real alternative when Canadians are inevitably disappointed.

Poilievre says immigration will be “much lower” if he’s elected

Poilievre says his formula will be mathematically driven – linked to home-building and job numbers – and not influenced by arbitrary targets.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that immigration numbers will be “much lower” if he becomes prime minister.

“It’s impossible to invite 1.2 million new people to Canada every year. When you’re building 200,000 housing units, it’s impossible. There’s no room. Quebec is at its breaking point,” said Poilievre in an interview in French.

The comments came during an interview with TVA Nouvelles after a reporter asked Poilievre whether he would commit to a 50% reduction in the number of asylum seekers and temporary immigrants arriving in Quebec, which Premier François Legault requested in his most recent meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“It’s going to be much lower, especially for temporary immigration,” said Poilievre.

Poilievre has previously been hesitant to give specifics about what he’d do to Canada’s immigration targets, speaking more generally about his plan to tie immigration to housing and job availability.

The Conservative leader’s brief interview took place as he campaigns through Quebec in an RV with his wife and two children. He has continued to talk about the cost of living crisis, government spending, and rising crime rates.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ylhneBq_sg0%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1

The Quebec government has been very outspoken against immigration, with Legault previously threatening to hold a referendum on the issue if the federal government didn’t help reduce the number of temporary immigrants flooding to the province.

Poilievre says his formula will be mathematically driven – linked to home-building and job numbers – and not influenced by arbitrary targets.

Housing affordability reached an all-time low in Canada at the beginning of April.

Near the end of 2023, 75% of Canadians believed that high immigration levels were fuelling the housing crisis, according to a Leger poll.

While Poilievre has previously avoided specifics, Conservative immigration critic Tom Kmiec acknowledged the formula could result in fewer immigrants coming into Canada.

While Canada welcomes 500,000 permanent residents per year, True North previously reported that the number of immigrants entering Canada annually is 2.2 million after adding temporary foreign workers, international students, and illegal immigrants.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=YJxmD7Hx0kg%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1

Housing starts in Canada have failed to meet demand, resulting in soaring costs.

To combat the housing crisis, Trudeau promised to build 3.87 million homes by 2031. To fulfill his promise, Canada would have to build 576,786 homes per year. However, Canada built just over 240,000 homes in 2023, a decrease from 2022, which decreased from 2021.

Poilievre’s housing plan, titled the Building Homes Not Bureaucracy Act, encourages big cities to speed up the process of building homes. Cities are to build 15% more homes annually, compounding yearly. If they fail to do so, federal funding will be withheld by an equal percentage of how much the target was missed by.

Conversely, municipalities that surpass their targets will receive a bonus.  

The Conservatives lead the federal voting intention polls in every province in the country except Quebec, where they trail both the Bloc Québécois and Liberals.

A video produced by Pierre Poilievre about Canada’s housing crisis is going viral on social media, amassing millions of views. But many Canadians noticed something was missing from his 15-minute analysis – any mention of Trudeau’s open borders mass immigration agenda. Last week, Abacus Research published a poll indicating that 69% of Canadians think immigration is negatively impacting the housing crisis and 62% of immigrants think Trudeau’s immigration levels are too high.

So why are the Conservatives refusing to talk about mass immigration?

Are they afraid of being called racist by their opposition? Are they afraid of alienating new immigrant voters? The data, year after year, has proven that Canadians want a serious conversation about immigration.

Charity’s leadership cites controversy over Beijing-linked donor to explain the move

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation’s president and board of directors have resigned en masse, citing the charity’s entanglement in the ongoing foreign interference controversy.

In a statement, the foundation said that a $200,000 donation in 2016 from a businessman linked to the Chinese government “has put a great deal of pressure on the foundation’s management and volunteer board of directors, as well as on our staff and our community.” 

The charity announced last month that it would return the donation. The Conservatives criticized the government over the matter, saying the donation compromised a government report on the integrity of the 2021 federal election.

“The circumstances created by the politicization of the foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo, and the volunteer board of directors has resigned, as has the president and CEO,” the statement said.

7 hours agoDuration 0:55Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the foundation will continue to make a positive impact on academic institutions across the country.

The foundation is independent and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has no involvement with it.

“The Trudeau Foundation is a foundation with which I have absolutely no intersection,” Trudeau told a news conference Tuesday.

“It is a shame to see the level of toxicity and political polarization that is going on in our country these days, but I am certain that the Trudeau Foundation will be able to continue to ensure that research into the social studies and humanities at the highest levels across Canadian academic institutions continues for many years to come.”

The charity, established in 2001 to honour former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, funds scholarships, mentorships and fellowships.

Last month, Prime Minister Trudeau appointed former governor general David Johnston as a special rapporteur to investigate foreign interference in Canadian elections and institutions, including alleged meddling by the Chinese government.

The Conservatives have questioned Johnston’s impartiality, in part by pointing to Johnston’s former role as a member of the Trudeau Foundation. Foundation members are responsible for appointing the board of directors.

Johnston resigned from the foundation following his appointment as special rapporteur. Trudeau has defended the choice, citing Johnston’s long career in public service.

The statement said three directors will remain on an interim basis to continue the charity’s work while a new board is appointed. The foundation’s website currently lists six members of the board of directors.

Its president and CEO, Pascale Fournier, had been in the position for almost five years.

Poilievre calls for investigation

Reacting to news of the resignations Tuesday morning, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called for an investigation into the charity.

“We need to investigate the Beijing-funded Trudeau Foundation,” Poilievre tweeted.

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said the resignations make the 2016 donation look more suspicious. He called on Johnston to step down as special rapporteur and for the government to call a public inquiry into foreign interference.

“Nothing else will do,” Blanchet said in a French statement.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he won’t comment on the Trudeau Foundation specifically. He repeated his calls for a public inquiry.

6 hours agoDuration 0:57During a press conference at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ont., NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is asked about the resignation of the president and board of directors of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation. A statement from the foundation said ‘the circumstances created by the politicization of the foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo.’

“What we’ve seen from both the Liberals and the Conservatives, they’re more interested in scoring political points, pointing fingers at each other,” Singh told a news conference.

“When it comes to something as serious as our democracy, the goal shouldn’t be to score points … We’ve been saying we need a public inquiry to get to the truth, to give Canadians confidence.”
