You guys have to remember we have 2 leftist parties. If the current government does the common sense thing and tries to pull back on rights for immigrants, things such as more difficult for family reunification, tougher for over 65s, stronger points system, easier for sutdent visa or working visas to become PR etc.. you know that the bleeding-heart Liberals and NDPs will use this as firepower to retain all the existing laws if not allow more immigrants.

I hear this statement all the time "immigrants who never paid a dollar of tax, never contributed to Canada, why are they getting money"? You think about it and it makes sense but if a politician actually said that, it would be the end of his career.

Look at the issue of simply raising old age from 65 to 67 and hear how much the opposition is bashing the Conservatives. Immigration would be 10 times as heated.
