The Conservatives are the only party who actually handle immigration as an economic supply and demand issue. That's why they don't set annual immigration targets in their platforms. Because it makes no sense. The amount of immigration they take in is throttled according the labour market's needs in order to keep the economy on an even keel. They don't set arbitrary annual immigration targets. That's not sound economic policy. How is any government supposed to know how many or how few new workers the labour market is going to need in the second quarter three years from now?

Spoiler: They don't. Perfect example: Trudeau set his immigration target at 300k/yr in his 2019 platform. How did that work out after the pandemic hit? Exactly. He had no fucking idea in 2019 how many immigrants he'd be able to intake in 2020/2021. He was full of shit when he made that 300k/yr promise.

Any party who sets an annual immigration target in their platform is full of shit. They know that's not at all realistic. They're just pandering to the economically illiterate lunatics in their base. Xenophiles in the Liberal's case and xenophobes in the PPC's case.
