Jordan Peterson criticizes Trudeau’s attempt to solve the immigration crisis he himself created

Peterson appeared on One Nation with Brian Kilmeade Saturday to comment on Trudeau’s immigration policies. Trudeau announced last month that Canada would limit immigration for the next three years after its population topped 41 million. According to the Prime Minister, this was the speed of a “baby boom” that the country could barely cope with. As a result, the Canadian government announced that it would reduce permitted immigration by 20%.

“He is changing his tone because the policies he put in place, which destroyed Canada’s immigration system and opened its borders wide, upending decades of good policy in Canada, have created a catastrophic crisis in the country,” Peterson said. “Now you can see that he is blaming educational institutions and bad corporate players for this, which is completely typical of him and his 14-year-old mentality. Everything that has gone wrong on the immigration front in Canada is 100% due to Justin Trudeau and his crazy cronies.”

This was a reference to Trudeau blaming universities for the influx of immigration because they were “exploiting international students to increase their profits.” Trudeau previously detailed the issue in a YouTube video.

“And then there are the really bad actors who openly exploit people who target vulnerable immigrants by promising them jobs, degrees and an easy path to citizenship, promises that will never come to fruition,” Trudeau explains in the video.

“Things are going so badly now and in Canada he has no choice but to change course and then to see him running around trying to find someone to blame is just as pathetic as you would expect from a person like him,” Peterson said.

Meanwhile, Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre is challenging Trudeau for the post of prime minister in the October 2025 election, among others. Poilevre’s party currently holds 119 seats in the House of Commons, giving him a good chance of beating Trudeau as the prime minister’s Liberal Party holds 153 seats in the country’s House of Commons.
