Mark Carney’s government is writing it into official policy

WAKE UP
And provinces “to develop a coordinated and streamlined approach to facilitate the recruitment of international workers to support projects of national interest.”

That’s the same Major Projects Office Carney launched to fast-track “nation-building” projects and create high-paying Canadian careers. The plan now explicitly includes bringing in foreign workers to staff them.

Overall temporary resident targets are being cut (385,000 new arrivals targeted for 2026). Yet for the big projects the government is pushing, the directive is to streamline international recruitment.

Michelle Rempel Garner pressed industry witnesses on exactly this. The answer was not a clear commitment to Canadians first.

From the kitchen table: young Canadians and skilled trades workers are already struggling with youth unemployment, housing costs, and stagnant wages. The government response is not “train and hire Canadians for these projects.” It is “facilitate international workers.”

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is in the departmental plan. Taxpayers fund the Major Projects Office, the regulatory fast-track, and the immigration system. The stated goal is Canadian jobs and prosperity. The operational plan still defaults to foreign labour on the projects that matter most.

Canadians should not be an afterthought on their own nation-building projects. Hire and train Canadians first. Publish the labour market tests.

Immigration Canada, in collaboration with the Government's Major Projects office, is actively working to replace Canadian workers with foreigners on domestic projects

This alarming development was revealed when Michelle Rempel Garner questioned Valeria Walker, CEO of BHER, about IRCC's involvement in bringing in foreign workers. Walker, however, could not provide a definitive answer.

Further investigation uncovered a directive buried within IRCC's 2026–27 Departmental Plan, explicitly outlining IRCC's plan to cooperate with the Major Projects Office to hand over high-paying Canadian jobs to foreign workers.

The Great Replacement of the Canadian worker isn't a conspiracy; it's official government policy.
