That's obviously not true. The immigration regulations introduced in 1967 established new standards for assessing potential immigrants and determining admissibility. According to the new provisions, independent immigrants were assigned points in specific categories relating to their ability to successfully settle in Canada.

"Far from unleashing a business-led boom, Harper has in fact presided over the weakest economic era in Canada’s postwar history. For example, from 2006 through 2014 (not even counting the current downturn), Canada experienced the slowest average economic growth since the Great Depression (measured by the expansion of GDP after inflation and population growth). Harper wasn’t even close to the next-worst prime minister: another Conservative, Brian Mulroney." Toronto Star

Proponents of minority governments look fondly at the 1960s when Lester B. Pearson won back-to-back minorities that forced deal-brokering with the New Democratic Party. That era was the bedrock of the Canadian social safety net, with the Pearson Liberals advancing national medicare, Canada student loans and the Canada Pension Program.

Canada's response to the pandemic (following health measures and getting vaccinated) has been quite successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over one million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 45,000. To date, 84% of Canadians are fully vaccinated compared to 68% of Americans.

@CanadianJustFedUp With health measures and vaccines, we have managed to avoid the mistakes of the past. 50 million people died during the Spanish Flu. Some modern scholars believe that the plague of Justinian killed up to 5,000 people per day in Constantinople at the peak of the pandemic. According to one view, the initial plague ultimately killed perhaps 40% of the city's inhabitants and caused the deaths of up to a quarter of the human population of the Eastern Mediterranean.

"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,” Trump said. “I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.” “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”

Unless you are Indigenous, you are an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant.

@justadildeau You certainly seem to be taking your own advice.

@jordandontworryaboutit2808 "The claim that Danish soccer player Christian Eriksen collapsed as a result of receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is FALSE, based on our research. The director of Eriksen's club team, Inter Milan, said Eriksen had never received a coronavirus vaccine." Pundits have been described as "irresponsible" for making such suggestions without evidence. Scientists have strongly criticised suggestions that the recent collapses of three footballers were in some way linked to the Covid vaccine." USA Today
