Is Carney “Cooking the Books” on Immigration?

Depending on which headline you read, you might think Canada announced two different immigration plans. Are we staying the course on “taking back control”? Or is Mark Carney lying to us?

Host Noor Azrieh is joined by Dr. Rupa Banerjee to unpack the numbers behind the outrage, and the people getting lost in the math. From the Conservatives’ advance instructions to reporters to the Globe and Mail’s barrage of opinion pieces, how did a badly explained policy become a story about deception?

Plus: a viral Carney misclip, a Globe correction, and David Cochrane’s accusation that Noor invented a quote.
