Poilievre Demands End to Temporary Foreign Worker Program to Save Jobs For Canadians

In a bold move to address Canada’s growing economic challenges, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has demands the complete elimination of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

Poilievre highlighted the dire state of youth unemployment, noting that the rate for Canadians aged 15-24 hit 14.6% in July 2025, the highest since 2010 outside the COVID-19 pandemic.

He cited statistics showing 1.6 million Canadians are unemployed, with nearly 400,000 facing long-term unemployment for over two years—the highest share since 1998.
