"The Liberals are keeping immigration levels steady next year at 300,000 new permanent residents, despite calls (internal and external) for increases."

It's interesting that this issue is addressed as such when it would appear to be more accurate to state that the calls for increases were coming mainly from special interests, presumably including big business, the immigration lobby and party insiders. Reportedly, the government's own polling indicates public support for increases in immigration levels languishing in the single digits and other polling reportedly indicates public support for increases at no high higher than the mid-teens. Is it possible the elites and MSM in this country have reached the conclusion that public opinion is worthy only of dismissal?
