Prime Minister Mark Carney has come under fire for appointing the co-founder of a controversial mass immigration lobbying group to his council of advisors on Canada-U.S. relations.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he “rejects” Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman’s addition to the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, calling him a “corporate elite” and saying it was a continuation of Liberal policies.
Wiseman is a co-founder of the Century Initiative, a lobbying group that advocates to increase the Canadian population to 100 million by 2100 through mass immigration and open border policies.
“It shows the Liberals would be no different in their fourth term than the first three,” Poilievre told reporters Friday.
“The Liberals destroyed our immigration system in their first three terms in power. They followed a radical globalist ideology of massive, uncontrolled population growth that put strain on our housing market, our health care and our job market.”
Wiseman is also the chairman of BlackRock Alternative Investors, a senior managing director and a global head of active equities at BlackRock Inc.
He is also a member of the World Economic Forum.
The council was established by former prime minister Justin Trudeau in Jan. to help draft a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation.
