In this episode, we trace the history of Canada’s dominant political parties — the Liberals and Conservatives — and explore how immigration policy and racial identity intersect with party politics. We ask tough questions: Why are so many immigrants turning to the Conservative Party despite prominent leaders supporting MAGA and denying systemic racism? And what does the new Prime Minister Mark Carney’s immigration stance signal about Canada’s political future? 

Immigrants aren’t a monolith — but when systems are oppressive, survival can look like aligning with power, even if it’s rooted in exclusion.
