Trudeau rigged the temporary workers program costing Canadians jobs at fair wages

Fraud in the temporary worker program isn’t the problem. The rules that rig the labour market are

Unemployment has been steadily rising for more than a year, as the Bank of Canada’s anti-inflation campaign weighs down the private sector.

Younger workers and recent permanent immigrants have been particularly hard hit. According to the June Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate for both groups has climbed well into double digits.

Meanwhile, the federal government is busy approving record numbers of permits under the low-wage stream of the temporary foreign worker program from companies claiming that they are unable to find Canadians to fill vacancies.

Bastards.

He’s sounding better.

Poilievre vows 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs as Liberals’ next move unclear

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to match steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles if elected, something the Liberal government is considering but has to decide on.

The call comes after Ottawa wrapped up a 30-day consultation process on Chinese EVs last week and has not said when those findings — or any decisions that may come as a result — will be made public.

The Conservative leader is also calling for tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminum, EV batteries, and wants Ottawa to stop handing out rebates for the purchase of Chinese EVs.

Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King out on bail again after alleged breach last week

OTTAWA — Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King was released on bail Friday after spending more than a week in jail on Crown allegations that he breached his bail conditions.

The Crown alleged King broke his previous release conditions, which only allowed him to use social media to fundraise for his legal defence. The Crown says his online activity extended beyond what was allowed between July 10 and 29.

Kamala in Arizona: I Respect Your Pro-Hamas Voices

To her credit, Kamala Harris has been attracting some fairly respectable crowds out on the campaign trail this week. That was the case in Arizona yesterday where she managed to attract roughly 15,000 people to an arena outside of Phoenix. Those still aren’t Trump-sized crowds, but it was far better than what Joe Biden had been managing before he dropped out.

Jordan Peterson: I will see this contemptible ‘re-education’ process through to its absurd end

On Thursday, my attempt to defend myself against the ideologues and petty tyrants that now occupy so many positions of authority in Canada came to an end — or I finally got what I deserve, due to my incautious verbal utterances, depending on your stance. I am (still) a licensed psychologist in Ontario, and was once a full professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. Back in 2016, both of those occupations basically came to an end, when I had the temerity to object to the idiot legislation passed by our jackanapes prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the worst leader Canada has ever had, and a contender for the worst in the western world. His moralizing compatriots decided at the time that it was a good idea to rejig the very definition of sex — what could go wrong with that? — and to simultaneously compel everyone to accept that redesignation, on pain of law.

‘A new kind of slavery’: Skyrocketing use of temporary foreign workers in restaurants and fast food chains has advocates concerned

David Rodriguez says he was abruptly fired from his job after standing up to his abusive employer less than two months after arriving in Toronto from Mexico in 2022 to work as a cook.

The 39-year-old was one of several temporary foreign workers employed at a downtown restaurant, enduring harsh working conditions that he says included aggressive behaviour from the owner and unpaid overtime.

When Rodriguez raised his concerns, his boss fired him on the spot, he says, leaving him unable to find new work, as his status in the country was tied exclusively to his employer.


There is no labour shortage in Canada, there is a surplus of wannabe slave owners eager to abuse the temporary foreign workers program for profit.

Don’t for a minute think that Canada’s business class is above the practice of modern day slavery, they love importing indentured servants.

The latest scam is an active discussion of the need to implement a six day work week as Greece hopes to do.

Mmmmm …

Tim Walz Is a Lumberjack and He’s Okay – The Democrats are pretending Walz is the all-American man.

The Democrats are pretending Walz is the all-American man.

There is something very “Lumberjack Song” about the campaign to make Tim Walz into John Wayne. That Monty Python song starts with a promising message of hard work and cutting down trees but ends with buttered scones, skipping, and recreational transvestitism.

Does the Tim Walz trajectory end with us finding out that he crochets?

Canada was ‘highly confident’ it heard man-made noises during search for Titan submersible, documents show

Canada’s military was “highly confident” for days in June 2023 that bangs heard underwater while searching for the missing Titan submersible were man made — by an object striking the hull of a vessel — near the famous Titanic wreck site, CBC News has learned.

Those noises helped keep hope going that the five wealthy explorers on board the missing vessel were still alive during the multi-day, multi-national search, even though it is now believed the vessel imploded within hours of going into the water.
