To the Carney Liberal government: You keep telling Canadians to stay calm that you have our backs. The only thing you have our backs on is the knife you keep driving in deeper while the announcements keep coming. Housing starts are still stuck near 250,000 annualized. Year-to-date numbers are down. Your own housing agency’s outlook shows them falling further. So Robertson’s department quietly dropped the 500,000 annual starts target. They are no longer measuring “housing unit counts.” When the numbers look bad, you change the scoreboard and call it progress. You told the New York Times the immigration system is “under control” and the next question is when to resume a “controlled increase” in population. Your immigration minister then announced that, starting November 3, employers no longer need an LMIA to get Express Entry points for high-wage job offers. The requirement to prove a Canadian cannot fill the job is gone for those points. Temporary volumes were cut on paper after the previous flood. The direction is already reversing while youth unemployment, housing, and healthcare capacity have not recovered. No full parliamentary debate. Just a press release and a technical update. The U.S. trade deal collapsed. Fifty-percent tariffs hit. Instead of fixing the relationship that moves most of our goods, you are accelerating a Montreal summit to deepen an “Alliance for the Future” with the EU — defence, critical minerals, AI, Galileo, regulatory alignment — that no Canadian voted for. CETA is still not fully ratified by ten EU countries. At your investment summit, CPP Investments and Brookfield launched a $50-billion Maple Fund. Other pension plans pledged more domestic capital. You previously chaired Brookfield. Residual financial interests sit behind ethics screens. Canadians’ retirement money is now more tightly linked to your former firm while private capital remains cautious and recent portfolio outflows reappeared. You announced $2 billion for heat-pump rebates. Conservative MPs have pointed out Brookfield’s ownership ties to companies that finance and install heat pumps, and your prior ethics disclosures listed related holdings. Screens and a blind trust exist. The alignment of a large new taxpayer subsidy with that orbit is still being questioned in the House. Your wife was named unpaid Ocean Envoy and chair of the 2027 Our Ocean Conference. Multi-hundred-million and roughly $1.2-billion ocean and 30x30 packages followed. The role does not control the cheques. The optics of the public face of the agenda sitting next to the money are obvious. No sustained House debate on scale, trade-offs with resource development, or provincial jurisdiction. Another $100 million to advance Nova Scotia offshore wind. Jobs: September erased all of 2026’s gains. Real GDP per capita remains weak. Debt and program spending keep climbing. You call more of it “investment.” Canadians are living the results — locked-out youth, strained services, two-tier access that still ranks temporary residents ahead of the people who fund the system, and capital that leaves unless government or pension money is attached. You have a majority. You use it to rewrite metrics, ease the Canadians-first test, route money toward prior relationships and international agendas, and tell us everything is fine. Slash temporary volumes until housing, youth jobs, and healthcare capacity improve. Restore a genuine labour-market test that puts Canadian workers first. Measure housing by actual starts and completions against a fixed public target. Apply real fiscal restraint. Publish the numbers — housing, temporary stock and exits, youth unemployment, capital flows, debt path, side-by-side citizen versus temporary access — every quarter. Subject the EU track, the pension structures, and the billion-dollar packages to open scrutiny before the money or the signatures move. The people who built this country are done waiting for the next announcement that you have our backs.
