"Our immigration system is broken. But what is more concerning is that the governing Liberals are slashing immigration and suspending people’s status"

"We are calling very clearly for a single-tier immigration system, based on permanent residency and status on arrival"

"We will end provincial rules that restrict and tie foreign workers to specific employers. We will end limits based on sector, hours, occupation, or category—restrictions"

Well, it'll endear him to the capitalists.

Personally I think he's right on international students not paying more because it removes the incentive.

In a similar way, I feel like requiring TFW workers to be paid the same as Canadians would remove incentive there. However the single tier might be referring to the removal of this.

Past that I'd rather not have targets, if you have a slow year then you're bringing in people you don't need and if you have a big year then you're blocking people you need.

For the same reason I disagree with the bringing families part. You have a quota and you're denying someone equally as capable as someone else because that other person brought a +1.

I also think there should be a union requirement for all immigrant jobs. It would do a better job of protecting people than removing being tied to an employer.

and actually playing by the rules when they come here and not jumping on a deploma mill to take work from others here.

A union requirement is a great fix. Or a 25-50% wage tax, perhaps that goes towards housing or education.
