Poilievre Urges Liberals to Scrap Temporary Foreign Worker Program

He argues the program undercuts wages to the detriment of youth employment.

Overview

  • Pierre Poilievre called on the federal government to end the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and halt the issuance of visas under it.
  • He says corporations are relying on lower‑paid foreign labour, making it harder for young Canadians to find entry‑level work.
  • He singled out fast‑food chains he claims prefer temporary foreign workers, including through postings that seek them specifically.
  • Poilievre also criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney’s record on infrastructure, saying projects have not materialized.
  • He predicted Carney will table a larger deficit than Justin Trudeau next month, framing his proposals as a response to economic strain.
