Half of all Canadians say there are too many immigrants: poll

High immigration levels have traditionally enjoyed multi-partisan support in Canada, but half of all people now say that there are too many newcomers, according to a new poll.

The survey conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies and the Metropolis Institute found 50 per cent of Canadians agree that there are too many immigrants coming into Canada — a number that has more than doubled since January 2023 but has remained consistent across polls conducted in the past six months.

“Concerns over immigration are primarily about the economy rather than fears about immigrants changing the social fabric of Canada, the poll suggests.”

I find this statement misleading as it is only natural that economic concerns would be ranked first which in no way diminishes the worry people have about Canada being remade by mass immigration from incompatible cultures especially given the extent of Hamas support recently revealed.  Not to mention the rising tide of anti-white discrimination endorsed by governments at all levels in Canada.

The organization responsible for conducting this poll seems suspiciously Liberal left & multicultural  receiving funding from Heritage Canada and coming complete with a land acknowledgement.

The same folks that abuse Canada’s ruinous mass immigration policy to your detriment cost taxpayers over $50 billion a year in Corporate welfare

Corporate welfare costing taxpayers over $50 billion a year: Report

Canada’s federal, provincial and municipal governments spent $52 billion on corporate welfare in 2022 — the latest data available —according to a new study by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday.

“These subsidies for businesses — also known as corporate welfare — come with huge costs to government budgets and taxpayers, while doing little if anything to stimulate economic growth,” said Tegan Hill, co-author of “The Cost of Business Subsidies in Canada: Updated Edition,” by the fiscally conservative think tank.

Frankly the Liberal party’s corporate cronies don’t just abuse Canada’s nation destroying mass immigration policy they dictate it.

Want a low-cost economic initiative? Fix the immigration mess

…The ballooning labour force made for cheaper labour that encourages business to skimp on investment in technology and equipment – which leads to lower productivity.

Scotiabank senior vice-president and chief economist Jean-François Perrault notes that Canada already has a productivity problem and low business investment.

Corporate Canada sees that as a feature not a bug.

Pierre Poilievre accuses corporate Canada of ‘sucking up’ to Trudeau’s government

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing corporate Canada — including natural resources companies and housing developers — of “sucking up” to the Liberals and is urging them to actively campaign against the government.

The audience for his latest salvo at the corporate sector was the sector itself, a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade breakfast, which Poilievre acknowledged isn’t the kind of crowd he talks to that often.

He told a room of business leaders and numerous Conservatives that his affection for the business world lies with the entrepreneurs who risk it all to make a living — not the lobbyists or CEOs who only focus on what’s best for themselves.

Canada’s ‘unhinged’ housing: 25 students living in basement, room for rent with bed in kitchen

As Canadians struggle to keep up with rising costs, ‘unconventional’ living arrangements are becoming more common.

Earlier in February, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown announced that 25 students were found to be living illegally in an apartment in a discovery made by the city’s bylaw department. Brown stated at a Committee of Council meeting that there could be about 100,000 residents living in illegal rental units in Brampton and the city intends to crack down on the issue, Toronto Sun reported.

Trudeau’s Legacy: Canada is no longer one of the richest nations on Earth. Country after country is passing us by

The growth crisis deepens. The latest figures from Statistics Canada confirm that Canada suffered yet another decline in per capita GDP in the fourth quarter of 2023: the fifth decline in the past six quarters, the worst sustained drop in more than 30 years. Per capita GDP, after adjusting for inflation, is now below where it was in the fourth quarter of 2014, nine years ago.

Douglas Todd: Population growth squeezing Canada’s young adults like never before

Wondering why rents in Canada are breaking records?

The Bank of Montreal’s chief economist, Douglas Porter, says there is “zero mystery.”

The population of people 20-to-29-years-old in Canada has suddenly shot up 6.2 per cent in a year. That’s nearly double Canada’s recent overall population jump, which is also breaking records.

Is the ‘market value of becoming Canadian’ dropping? Fewer immigrants are becoming citizens

Canada is taking in more immigrants than it ever has. But new data suggests that fewer and fewer of them are becoming citizens.

The proportion of eligible permanent residents acquiring citizenship has dropped significantly, especially during the last census period. A study released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday shows the proportion of permanent residents who acquired Canadian citizenship after they met the residency requirement has decreased from 75 per cent in 1996 to just 46 per cent in 2021.

While the rate of newcomers acquiring citizenship has declined consistently during the past six censuses, the drop was steep in the latest national survey, particularly among recent immigrants with lower levels of education, lower family income and lower language skills.

Another Trudeau legacy – Migrants with ZERO loyalty or concern for Canada.

DND suspends contracts with ArriveCan contractor after learning CEO is a DND employee

Just a day after the federal government announced a review of its program to support Indigenous contractors, CTV News has learned the CEO of a company that prompted the review is an employee of the Department of National Defence (DND).

David Yeo is the CEO of Dalian Enterprises, which received $7.9 million for its work on the ArriveCan app.

No one is surprised at Liberal party corruption, it’s expected in a banana republic.

Trudeau in trouble as Canada’s ‘student trafficking’ industry backfires

Canada’s radical immigration experiment, which has given it one of the world’s fastest rates of population growth, has run into big trouble in the ring of suburbs and small cities around Toronto.

A post-pandemic surge of international students is causing prices for rental housing to soar and placing a spotlight on the uncontrolled growth of colleges that, according to the government’s own immigration minister, are taking advantage of vulnerable young people with inferior academic programs. Much of the blame is falling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who oversaw a tripling in the number of foreign students to more than 1 million. Today, about 1 in 40 people in the country is on a foreign-study visa.

Second diaspora group pulls out of Xi Jinping’s rigged foreign-interference inquiry

The human-rights group Canadian Friends of Hong Kong says it won’t participate in Canada’s public inquiry into foreign interference, citing what it calls grave concerns about the standing granted to three politicians with alleged ties to the Chinese government.

In January, an organization representing Uyghur Canadians announced it was withdrawing from the public inquiry over the same matter. The refusals to participate threaten to undermine the commission’s ability to hear from all vulnerable communities facing persecution from China.

Ottawa Handing 10-Year, $2 Billion Tax Break to Battery Makers, Records Show

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is handing a 10-year tax holiday worth $2.1 billion to electric auto battery manufacturers, government documents show.
Government amendments to Income Tax Act regulations grant the decade-long tax waiver to battery factories on top of the billions in subsidies they are already receiving.

“The cost of foregone federal tax revenue associated with the regulatory amendment is estimated to be about $2.1 billion over 10 years starting in 2024,” reads a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

John Ivison: Warnings about too many international students were clear. The Liberals ignored them

Some days you’re the dog and some days you’re the tree.

Housing minister Sean Fraser must have had that arboreal feeling as he read a Canadian Press story that said as immigration minister he ignored warnings from his department that allowing foreign students to work more than 20 hours a week could lead to “program integrity” concerns.

In other words, there was a concern among officials that hundreds of thousands of foreign students could arrive in Canada to work in low-skilled jobs and do a little studying on the side while, in the meantime, driving up housing costs.
