It doesn’t really matter because the Liberals know that they’re on their way out. No one trusts them with anything. They’re just hoping to cause as much damage as possible for the next government to clean up so that they can use that as a talking point to get re-elected. Of course, the worst case scenario for them would be that they would never get elected ever again for at least a decade. The Ontario liberals got relegated and the same could happen to the Federal Liberals. At this point, Pierre Poilievre doesn’t have to even release an election platform. He just needs to point at Trudeau’s failures since he’s cruising in polls. In Ontario, Doug ford is an absolute scum bag but no one over here seems to want the Liberals to come into power ever again. I would say to prep up for Conservative policies for at least, a decade. Austerity measures and worsening income inequality but probably more pro business policies and they would probably unleash all of Canada’s natural resource wealth. In the worst possible scenario, if things in relation to immigration get worse with unemployment and sky high rents, you can expect the PPC to win some seats. Canada is not immune to extreme right politics. It’s unfortunate but the liberals are too dumb to realise the consequences of their policies.
What is really funny is that some people believe that parties have "platforms". In democracy its indeed about people. It about selling leadership to people. Elections involve reading the people and saying what they want to hear. Sadly, people have short memories. Canadians even shorter.
Policies will still be the same because people still want the same things: Easy money through their real estate holdings. That is not going to change. Faces change facts will not.
The reason why there is so high immigration is not because liberals just love immigrants. Its because Canadians want to be pampered by their governments. They want their life to be planned by the government. They want easy money. Guess how can you give them this?
Here is another data point in case if everyone missed it. Two - Three years back, everyone and their grandmother was cursing foreigners to make housing prices insane because "Chinese are buying all the real estate". 2020, very less immigration yet in 2020 and 2021, biggest jump in house prices happened. No one corrected their opinion. Come 2023, now everyone has realized that it was easy loans which were majorly behind the house prices. You close the loan tap, you will halt rise in prices. You let it remains closed for sometime, prices will come down slowly. And yet for the longest time, it was "Chinese bringing their illegal money" being blamed for housing prices.
