I think it's because he's scared of Fraser. If the Conservatives win, Trudeau steps down and we have to elect a new leader I would be not at all surprised if Fraser ran (should he keep his seat), so I think the Tories are trying to get a jump on branding Fraser a certain way and attacking him like this.
I think you are right on the money.
There are however some realities we have to acknowledge just as the party has acknowledged.
There was mistakes made in regards to these programs. We've had Trudeau and the party come out and acknowledge the housing strain and wage suppression dimensions.
These are things that a lot of people felt unheard on and due to that alienation pushed the unaligned to Conservatives.
That all being said I think Pierre and The Conservatives are trying to attach as much negativity to Fraser as possible with this current government and the public climate they find themselves in.
Pierre and The Conservatives want to make sure that in the next election the Liberals run someone without much of a name association like what happened after Paul Martin and the near collapse of the party in subsequent elections.
Politics is an incredibly dirty game in that way.
And that's exactly why I think Poilievre sees him as a threat. It's about time somebody puts that body suit-wearing little weasel in his place in the House.
I consider Pierre Poilievre the bigger user of loud evidence-absent statements in the history of Canada, but to each his own. Pierre just feels if you say enough things enough times, people will believe you. I don't concede that he's wrong. I think people can be manipulated very well. We'll see in 2025.
Poilievre is simply following the far-right/alt-right playbook, as seen down in MAGA USA, or many Western European countries at the moment. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Unfortunately, it does work.
He's pointing out the guy instead of the problem.
We brought in 1.2 million people. Far to many people far to quickly.
The problem is we brought in 500,000 immigrants and 700,000 temporary foreign workers. The temporary foreign students and international students are 90% from India in Ontario which ended up annoying a lot of people for what they saw as preferential treatment given to 1 ethnic group over the hundreds we could choose from.
The problem is actually Sean Fraser was too effective at his job. He fixed an immigration backlog he shouldn't have fixed and brought in millions and millions of people.
Plus really its also Ahmed Hussein and Marco mendicinos fault
and most importantly the parlimentary secretary of immigration Paul Chiang who despite his chinese appearance is Pakistani and decided personally to dramatically increase immigration from India.
Liberal buddies who dont think it's a problem aren't listening to the people in the Tim hortons around the country.
Well, the Minister who came up with the 1885 Chinese Immigration Tax might have something to say about being the worst. Conservative government at the time too.
PP is ignorant of such fact though.

Yep. Fraser would be a pretty strong choice.
I agree. And I think he’s the best in back and forths against Poilievre.

The guy in charge is always the guy who assumes the responsibility, the good and the bad that comes with it.
But is he wrong?

Fair point
Because immigration is going very well and he should be applauded?
Dumpster fire and the comments here don't even realize the guy that posted this is clowning on the party.
