BUREAUCRATS TO TRUDEAU: HIDE THE NUMBERS

  Lilley:   Hmmmmmm, funny that. Higher support for immigration when the public felt the numbers were lower, lower support when told the actual numbers. What is the department’s advice to senior management? Hide the truth.
   Effectively, top bureaucrats are warning the government, not to tell the public the real immigration numbers lest support for immigration fall. In other words, lie to the public to keep them onside.
   I wonder how the public would feel if they knew the real total intake for 2016 was 848,000 people and not 260,000 as the poll claims.
