It’s hard to imagine a bigger bungle by the Trudeau government than the vaccine fiasco and budget carnage, but now there’s immigration. Aims are to allow 1.2 million more permanent residents into Canada in the next three years when other, well-managed countries like Australia and New Zealand, are preoccupied with retaining the living standards of their existing populaces by trimming immigration.
“History teaches us that when we grow our immigration levels, we grow our economy,” Canadian immigration minister Marco Mendicino said earlier this year, a lawyer without economic credentials.

The federal government’s decision to delay the second dose of lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines by upwards of four months has been controversial. What is not controversial is that our heroic health-care workers deserve all the protection they can get, because they are the ones putting themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis. And yet, they too are being forced to wait unreasonably long periods of time to get the protection they need. Now, two physicians from Belleville, Ont., have gone public to explain why front-line health-care workers deserve second vaccine doses immediately.
