Mit einem neuen Dreijahresplan für die Einwanderung will die Regierung um Justin Trudeau die Einwanderungszahlen für die Jahre 2024 bis 2026 stabilisieren.

Warum immer mehr Zuwanderung, wenn schon jetzt nicht ausreichend Wohnraum zur Verfügung steht, Millionen Menschen keinen Hausarzt haben und es nicht genug Schulplätze gibt?

Voting via smartphone soon?

After five years, the European Parliament elections will be held again in 2024. From June 6th to June 9th, 2024, over 448 million Europeans will be asked to cast their votes for various parties.
