Trudeau’s 3rd World Economy: Canadian Tire store in Toronto accused of exploiting temporary foreign workers

Trudeau’s Legacy: Indentured servitude and depressed wages for all.

The owner of a Canadian Tire store in Toronto is being investigated by the provincial and federal governments for allegedly mistreating and financially exploiting employees hired through Ottawa’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

At least 13 of those employees resigned or were fired by the store late last year, according to documents reviewed by The Globe and Mail and conversations with several of the workers.

… A spokesperson with Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, Training, Immigration and Skills Development confirmed to The Globe that the province is investigating Ezhil Natarajan, who owns and operates a Canadian Tire store in Etobicoke, which comprises Toronto’s west end.


Is it right for white people to condemn the dealer for simply living his culture?

The 2023 GSI estimates that on any given day in 2021, there were 11 million people living in modern slavery in India, the highest number of any country.

Want your DNA profile from the RCMP’s DNA bank? You can’t have it, a new ruling finds

OTTAWA – A person’s DNA profile may dictate who they are but, if it’s in the RCMP’s DNA bank, they aren’t allowed to have it.

That’s according to a first-of-its-kind decision published this summer by Information Commissioner Caroline Maynard. The ruling is an example of how the government can sometimes legally withhold even extremely personal data like one’s DNA profile in certain cases.

Liberal Canada’s lax immigration policies behind a plot to kill Jews in NYC, ‘largest attack since 9/11’

Americans are well aware of the security disaster of the Biden-Harris open southern border — including 400 illegal crossers who were flagged on the FBI terrorism watch list.

But an alarming new terrorism prosecution in New York now demands American attention and diplomatic pressure be turned on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented mass immigration policies.

Liberals fall to third place in new poll — Trudeau forecast to lose his own riding

The latest poll by Nanos Research shows the Liberals have plummeted in popularity equivalent to that of the NDP — each party has 22% support, while the Conservatives have 42%.

Election modeller Charestiste based on the Nanos poll projects the Conservatives at 223 seats, the NDP at 47 seats and the Liberals at 38 seats. Bloc would have 32 seats, the Greens three and the PPC zero.


Justin losing his seat? That would be sweet.

Derek Burney: A wake-up call from RBC’s Dave McKay

Years ago, it was customary for Canadian bank CEOs and other senior business executives to opine candidly to shareholders and clients on public policy challenges facing Canada. As public attitudes and moods evolved, and because of deference to political correctness and woke trends or business prudence, executives became more circumspect, and interventions diminished in frequency and depth. Speeches adopted the word salad approach of many politicians, tilting to prevailing winds of likes and dislikes, while avoiding messages that might be construed as controversial or insensitive. Refreshingly, RBC’s CEO Dave McKay broke the conventional cone of silence recently in remarks to the Canadian Club in Toronto when he declared flatly that Canada is “definitely on the wrong path” and “we’ve got to make fundamental change to get back on the (right) track.” He cited specifically the need for a more competitive tax regime and a tighter relationship with the U.S.

It’s going to be very difficult to reverse the damage Trudeau has done, we are nearly a 3rd world country thanks to mass immigration from incompatible cultures, ruinous economic, environmental and social policy.

Canada’s New Young Conservatives

“Young people will change the world,” we often hear. And the implied change is always the same: a leftward shift. Youth are naturally rebellious, we’re told, and they’re bound to cast aside hidebound conservative ways. This has generally been true for Western and Central European youth, who have tended to lean left. The French coalition of far-left parties known as the New Popular Front got nearly half the 18- to 24-year-old vote and 38 percent of the 25- to 34-year-old vote in the last election, and the German Green Party would hold a majority today if only 18- to 34-year-olds voted. But now youth voting patterns seem to be changing. The surge of right-wing parties in recent European elections won significant support from people of all ages. And we can expect the proportion of right-wing youth to grow as liberal and left-wing parties get crazier. Indeed, this is what has happened in Canada.

Chinese-made EVs are now subject to a 100% tariff. What does this mean for Canadians?

Canada’s new tariff on electric vehicles from China will reverberate through a multitude of industries and could lead to repercussions well beyond the electric vehicle market, according to analysts.

The 100 per cent tariff on imports of Chinese-made EVs (and some hybrids), including cars, buses, trucks and delivery vehicles, takes effect on Tuesday after a 30-day consultation period over the summer. A 25 per cent surtax on steel and aluminum imports from China will kick in on Oct. 15.

Chinese-language media in Canada ‘dominated’ by Communist Party narratives: Report

Chinese-language media in this country are “dominated” by CCP “narratives and censorship of pro-democracy voices,” according to a top secret federal memo disclosed by the Commission on Foreign Interference.

The four-page memo from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said CCP agents used “economic incentives” and other tactics to influence coverage by Chinese-language media in Canada. CSIS counted one million Canadian followers on the Chinese-language WeChat platform alone.

Canada was slightly richer than Montana in 2019. Now it is poorer than Alabama

CANADA AND America’s economies are joined at the hip. Some $2bn of trade and 400,000 people cross their 9,000km of shared border every day. Canadians on the west coast do more day trips to nearby Seattle than to distant Toronto. No wonder, then, that the two economies have largely moved in lockstep in recent decades: between 2009 and 2019 America’s GDP grew by 27%; Canada’s expanded by 25%.

Nearly Half of Canadians Want an Early Election: Survey

Nearly 50 percent of Canadians would support calling a federal election before next fall, a new national survey suggests.

Why is the West so anguished over the death of Hassan Nasrallah?

Only one word captures the vibe in the West following Israel’s killing of Hassan Nasrallah: anguish. Everywhere you look there is dread over what Israel has done, and fear of what it might unleash. Disquiet drips from every newspaper. You hear it in the trembling timbre of news anchors. You see it in the feverish warnings of ‘anti-war’ types that the Middle East now stands upon the precipice of apocalypse. You hear it in Guardianistas’ shrill damning of Israel as a ‘pugnacious out-of-control force’ that now even takes out terrorists ‘against the United States’ explicit wishes’. Yes, how dare this uppity state defy our masters in the neo-empire?


You get the impression that western leaders, diplomats and media come to enjoy chatting with Islamist terrorists over cocktails and begin ascribing them an underserved humanity while conveniently forgetting their murderous friends would slit their throats in a New York minute.

Conservatives’ path to victory propelled by women, young voters, and a deep desire for change, say pollsters

The federal Conservatives are poised to form one of the largest majority governments in Canadian history, and push the governing Liberals into third—if not fourth place—in the House following the next general election, say pollsters.

Whether the national win will eclipse Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservative victory in the 1984 federal election that resulted in a 211-seat majority in the then-282-seat House, the Conservatives will almost certainly capture at least 200 ridings in the newly configured 342-seat Commons if polling trends continue.


From the Star … Justin Trudeau’s Liberals continue to trail the Conservatives in all age groups, with men and women, and in all provinces but Québec.

Canada–China Ties Moving From Elite Control to ‘State Capture,’ Former Canadian Diplomat Warns

China’s influence on Canada is evolving from influencing political and economic elites to a more dangerous form of “state capture,” says a former diplomat posted to Canada’s embassy in China.

Charles Burton, a sinologist who is now a senior fellow at the think tank Sinopsis, made the remark during a Sept. 26 event in Ottawa for the launch of investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s third edition of “Wilful Blindness,” a book that examines China’s influence in Canada.

What high grocery prices say about the dysfunction in Canada’s economy

Some argue that Canadians do have an option for affordable groceries at the discount chains of the major supermarket chains: No Frills (Loblaws), Freshco (Sobeys) and Food Basics (Metro). Indeed, Loblaw Cos. Inc. is piloting an ultradiscount grocery store in Ontario, No Name, that promises lower prices by stripping away even more frills.

However, the prices at these discount chains are not nearly as attractive as those found at the hard discounters in other countries (even in the U.S., Trader Joe’s and Aldi are thriving).
