JD Vance blames immigration for Canada's 'stagnating' living standards
JD Vance blames Canada's high foreign-born population and immigration policies for stagnant living standards, despite government plans to reduce immigration by 43%, officials said.
- Last Friday, U.S. Vice‑President JD Vance posted on X criticizing Canada’s political leadership, the public broadcaster CBC, and calling the immigration system `immigration insanity` causing `stagnating` living standards.
- The federal budget says Canada will aim to admit only 385,000 temporary residents next year, about 43 per cent less than the 2025 target, and Finance Minister François‑Philippe Champagne said the government aims for `more sustainable levels`.
- The post included a chart from Ice Cap Asset Management, Halifax comparing growth in living standards from 2016 to the present, with analyst Richard Dias adding a one-word `agreed` comment; CBC News has asked Ice Cap for more detailed metrics but received no response.
- In an emailed statement, the government said it `is restoring control to the immigration system` and Diab's office added immigration will attract the world's `best and brightest` to fill critical labour gaps.
- Canada has the highest foreign‑born share in the G7, with recent immigrants' unemployment at 11.1 per cent last year, about double that of Canadian‑born workers.
