This one is totally mismanaged and typical of the Liberals. There is good somewhere in there but the actions are self defeating.

I remember some discussion a long time ago on here about how immigrants to Canada tend to be loyal to the party that was in power when they moved to Canada, and then it trickles down to their children. I am too lazy to research it at this point, but recall someone posting supporting evidence for it at the time. From my personal anecdotal experience, my parents moved here when the Liberals were in power and both my parents typically voted for the Liberals. My mother was a big flag waving Liberal supporter. My father ended up switching to the Conservatives a lot later in life. I was drawn to the Liberals as well, and I fully acknowledge that the influence from my parents likely played a role in that. I won't be voting for them again in the near future (the last time I did was Justin Trudeau's first term, but I am beyond done with his government at this point).
I guess the point was that immigration is one way political parties try to strengthen party support. If they start losing support of people born here, they can bring over new voters.
