Worried about foreign workers, Conservatives demand details of $15B Honda EV deal

Conservative MPs are pushing Ottawa to release details of its agreement with Honda Canada to build a sprawling electric vehicle operation in southern Ontario — disclosure they say is necessary to ensure Canadians get all the jobs in the multi-billion-dollar project.

The push for transparency comes after Canada’s Building Trades Union (CBTU) wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this month asking him to intervene on another EV project, the NextStar plant in Windsor, Ont. that’s backed by Chrysler parent company Stellantis and Korean firm LG.

The union said foreign workers are displacing Canadian labourers at the NextStar construction site while 180 local millwrights and ironworkers are unemployed and available to perform the necessary work.

Trudeau has lowered your chance of finding a job by allowing his corporate cronies to hire foreign students at reduced wages over Canadians again

International students will be allowed to work 24 hours a week starting in September

OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says international students will be able to work off-campus up to 24 hours per week starting in September.

The Liberals temporarily waved the 20-hour cap on work hours for international students during the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to ease labour shortages.

‘Deeply unhappy’ grocery shoppers plan to boycott Loblaw-owned stores in May

A boycott targeting Loblaw is gaining momentum online, with what could be thousands of shoppers taking their money elsewhere in May.

It’s the latest sign of Canadians’ mounting frustration with the major grocers, which have been under political and public scrutiny for rising food prices and profits.

“We don’t want to struggle anymore,” said Emily Johnson, a mental health and addictions worker in Milton, Ont., and one of the boycott’s organizers.


No one went to jail after it was revealed that Galen and his cronies had been stealing bread from the mouths of children for 14 years.

Hell, Trudeau will probably give Loblaws another 12 million in tax payer funds for new freezers.

That’s how much a boycott will hurt Loblaws.

On sale, Canada -Pure Banana Republic.

Trudeau Lied: Foreign workers issue reignites at Windsor’s NextStar plant

The issue of temporary foreign workers being used to build the NextStar Energy battery plant in Windsor has bubbled up again with the Canadian Building Trades Union requesting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intervene in the dispute and the federal Conservatives planning to raise the issue on Parliament Hill.

CBTU executive director Sean Strickland penned a letter to Trudeau earlier this month claiming an increasing number of temporary foreign workers were being used in Windsor. The federal Conservatives also announced Friday they plan to press the issue at the Government Operations’ Committee meeting this week.

Employers boost recruitment of temporary foreign workers, despite softer labour market

Canadian companies ramped up their recruitment of temporary foreign workers last year, even as the labour market softened and the unemployment rate drifted higher.

During the last quarter of 2023, employers were approved to fill more than 81,000 positions through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, according to figures shared by the federal government with The Globe and Mail. It was easily the largest quarter for approvals since Ottawa made several employer-friendly changes to the program in the spring of 2022.

Isn’t it swell that Trudeau outsourced immigration intake so his corporate welfare cronies can depress wages!

The Liberal’s immigration policies have accomplished the opposite of what was intended

… But many are simply seeking to stay here while their claim works its way through a system that is already so overwhelmed some claimants are living in homeless shelters or on the street and it can take several years before the Immigration and Refugee Board reaches a final decision on an application.

The worst thing about all this? The Liberals’ immigration policies have accomplished the very opposite of what they intended: They have undermined support for immigration.


I prefer to think of it as Canadians waking up to the Big Lie of immigration policy in Canada.

Immigration policy was never designed to benefit Canadians.

It was designed to benefit the corporate class and the political class at our expense.

We will continue to pay dearly for sleepwalking through our nations destruction and must remain on guard against those who lie about mass immigration’s alleged benefits.

Compulsive Liar Trudeau fails to acknowledge he created the mass immigration mess now says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’

Trudeau says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government wants to rein in the number of temporary immigrants coming to the country, saying the situation needs to be brought “under control.”

“Whether it’s temporary foreign workers or whether it’s international students in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb,” Trudeau said at a housing announcement in Dartmouth, N.S.

“To give an example, in 2017, two per cent of Canada’s population was made up of temporary immigrants. Now we’re at 7.5 per cent of our population comprised of temporary immigrants. That’s something we need to get back under control.”


He’s lying. The numbers bandied about are a drop in the bucket and will make little to no impact.

Trudeau and the LPC are running scared having wreaked generational economic harm on Canada’s young and old.

People will never be able to afford a home, many are unable to afford rent.

Trudeau did this through the most cruel mass immigration scam ever inflicted on a western nation.

It’s not immigration, it’s replacement.

The greedy bastards who demand mass immigration to depress wages are being bit in the ass by the housing crisis they helped create

Canadian businesses say housing crisis is forcing them to boost pay: survey

Business leaders see the housing crisis as the biggest risk to the economy, a new survey from KPMG Canada shows.

It found 94 per cent of respondents agreed that high housing costs and a lack of supply are the top risk, and that housing should be a main focus in the upcoming federal budget. The survey questioned 534 businesses.

Housing issues are forcing businesses to boost pay to better attract talent and budget for higher labour costs, agreed 87 per cent of respondents.

Canada’s population hits 41M months after breaking 40M threshold

Nine months after reaching a population of 40 million, Canada has cracked a new threshold.

As of Wednesday morning, it’s estimated 41 million people now call the country home, according to Statistics Canada’s live population tracker.

Cory Morgan: RCMP Report Warning of Growing Civil Unrest Due to Declining Living Standards Must Be Heeded

A redacted version of a report crafted by Canada’s RCMP titled “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada” has been released and it warns Canada could soon descend into civil unrest due to several factors, including a bleak economic outlook.

Canada was once known as one of the most easygoing nations on earth. Canadians were quick to apologize and polite to a fault. It was never imagined this population of passive, laid-back people could experience large-scale civil disorder and pushback against authorities. Recent events have exposed a nation frustrated with the actions of its government to the point of bringing citizens to the streets in protest, and the RCMP expects this trend to become more acute.

The first targets will be set in September.

‘He’s in full control’: Why Poilievre is distancing Conservatives from corporate Canada

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s recent criticism of “useless” corporate lobbyists is rooted in his party’s skepticism of the modern business community and also meant to demonstrate that he is not “beholden” to anyone as he prepares to form government, say political observers.

In fact, those observers say that Poilievre’s strategy involves deliberately ditching the traditional business luncheon circuits in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal to speak directly to voters.


Frankly I am skeptical.

Under Trudeau corporate Canada has dictated the Liberal Party’s ruinous mass immigration policy.

We all know how it works.

Trudeau’s Liberal Party curries favour with ethnic vote blocs by flooding the country with immigrants of dubious economic and social caliber.

The corporate class gets the malleable cheap labour pool they want while the well positioned profit from the shortages caused by the huge increase in population.

The article mentions that Poilievre is bypassing the business class and speaking directly to working class voters, both of them.

Nowhere is mass immigration mentioned as a topic of discussion in Poilievre’s heart to hearts and for that I call time.
