Show Notes

In this special episode of Hub Dialogues, former Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne debate the motion that Canada's immigration levels should be lowered. Kenney argues the Trudeau government dismantled a model system by abandoning human capital selection and allowing unsustainable population growth that exceeds housing and infrastructure capacity. Coyne contends immigration isn't inherently too high, that policy failures in housing and health care are the real culprits, and that population growth through immigration is essential for addressing demographic challenges and maintaining Canada's global competitiveness. The debate was held on December 9th at Ottawa's National Arts Centre.
