Jason Kenney on Canada's broken immigration system and how to fix it

Jason Kenney, former Alberta premier and immigration minister, discusses Canada's struggling immigration system. He explains the principles behind the Harper government's points-based system, and details how the Trudeau government dismantled this framework, which created housing pressures and integration challenges. He also addresses security screening concerns, the erosion of public consensus on immigration, and the ongoing Iranian uprising against the Islamic Republic regime and its impact on the diaspora community.
