And while most voters say they want immigration limited when asked, it's just not an important election issue to most Canadians, so it's not something the CPC going to campaign on. The electoral interest in immigration just isn't worth the media attacks that are in store for the CPC if they go after immigration. The safe strategy is to just go along with whatever Trudeau promises. No more, no less. Say as little as possible about the subject. Then if/when the CPC get elected, they can do whatever they want.
Unfortunately, this strategy is above the comprehension level of about 1-2% of right-wing/conservative voters who just want to hear their candidate publicly virtue-signal against immigration, regardless of what it does to their election chances. And Trudeau is counting on these people to shave enough points off of the CPC to save his skin.
Yes, because that's what the polling indicates the electorate wants.
