Canada’s Corporate Welfare Class
“Plan to bring in South Korean workers for NextStar battery plant sparks backlash.” No shit?
Workers from South Korea will be coming to work on Windsor’s NextStar EV battery factory, sparking backlash from politicians who say the jobs should go to Canadians because of the massive taxpayer subsidies the companies received.
The NextStar EV battery factory, a partnership between Stellantis and LG Energy Solution, received about $15 billion in subsidies from the federal and provincial governments.
How stupid do the Liberals think we are? Good green jobs for … Koreans!
Feds confirm gov’t has begun issuing permits to foreign workers to build taxpayer-funded #ElectricVehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont.

Taxpayer-subsidized Stellantis battery plant potentially importing international workers
A handful of temporary workers from South Korea have arrived in Windsor to staff up a new Stellantis electric vehicle battery manufacturing plant, according to officials with the Ontario government, raising concerns that massive taxpayer subsidies could be used to employ international auto workers over Canadians.
… On Thursday, Windsor Police posted photos of a meeting with the South Korean Ambassador Lim Woong Son on X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the “South Korean workforce coming to our community.”
“With the new LGEnergy Solutions battery plant being built, we expect approximately 1,600 South Koreans traveling to work and live in our community in 2024,” the force said on social media.

This is the “Why” of Mass Immigration: How some of Ontario’s most recognizable companies have become embroiled in alleged labour exploitation scheme
Even in the Holland Marsh, a verdant stretch of land known as Canada’s “salad bowl,” Gwillimdale Farms stands out.
It’s a sprawling 2,000-acre operation, able to pack 350,000 pounds of potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables in a single day. The farm has served as the backdrop for political announcements by Premier Doug Ford, and last spring benefitted from a provincial grant to create “safer workplaces” and “address labour shortages.”
Around the same time, the farm was sourcing workers through middlemen now accused of labour trafficking, according to search warrant materials and court documents obtained by the Star.
This is 3rd World Shit made possible by the UNIPARTY at the behest of their corporate masters.
This is the “Why” of Mass Immigration.
Advocates claim immigration minister ‘downplayed’ migrant worker abuse
Several agencies calling on Ottawa to provide open work permits for all migrant workers accuse Canada’s immigration minister of dismissing claims of abuse against the vulnerable population.
Legal Assistance of Windsor, Migrante Alberta, and the Association for the Rights of Household and Farm Workers said Marc Miller has “downplayed and completely dismissed the systemic nature of the unjust treatment of migrant workers.”
Trudeau Government Doled Out $444m In Welfare To Notorius Home Hoarding Corporate Landlord That Doesn’t Need The Funds & Says Millennials Don’t Want A Home
Canada Invests $444m With Company That Says Millennials Don’t Want A Home
Canada keeps repeating it’s spending billions on new housing, but with who, and how does it help? Earlier this week, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced $1.2 billion worth of investments to build rentals in Toronto. It turns out over a third of those funds are going into one project—373 Front St East, which are rentals planned years ago. Toronto-based Tricon Capital is one of the owners of the 855 unit project. They are best-known for buying and owning tens of thousands of single-family homes in a short time.
Tricon is a successful firm well positioned to profit from Trudeau’s mass immigration driven perpetual housing shortage.
I wonder if Liberal Party connections exist.
Freeland to Testify at Committee on Canada’s Funding to Beijing-Led Infrastructure Bank
A House of Commons committee is set to question Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland about Canada’s dealings with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which has been accused of being under the influence of Beijing. This comes five months after Ms. Freeland’s commitment to suspend collaboration with the bank.
MPs voted in favour of an Oct. 23 motion asking the House of Commons Special Committee on Canada-China Relations to invite the Minister of Finance to appear as a witness in its examination of “Canada’s freeze in government-led activity” with the AIIB, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Diane Francis: Trudeau’s open immigration policies are becoming a problem for Americans
The foolish immigration policies of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and their NDP backers have burdened Canada’s health-care system, inflated housing costs and are now starting to annoy Washington.
America’s immigration problems at its southern border are nightmarish by comparison, but some members of Congress have also voiced concerns that their northern border with Canada has become a backdoor entry into the United States for increasing numbers of illegal migrants and drugs.
Canada’s richest 1% saw largest leap in annual income in years, while lower earners’ wages declined
The annual incomes of Canada’s wealthiest people jumped by nearly 10 per cent on average, a year into the COVID-19 pandemic — at a time when the bottom half of the nation’s wealth distribution saw their incomes slump for the first time in decades, according to a recent report from Statistics Canada.
In 2021, the latest data Statistics Canada has made available, Canada’s top one per cent earned an average $579,100 — a 9.4 per cent increase from 2020, and one of the largest gains seen in recent years, the report found. The data is based on the tax filings of individuals prior to paying their taxes, an analyst from Statistics Canada noted.
No prime minister ever gives up political power unless confronted with an ‘inevitable defeat,’ says top Liberal player David Herle
With poll after poll suggesting the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by double-digit margins, pressure is ratcheting up on Justin Trudeau to reconsider his plans to lead the party in the next election, say some former senior Liberals, but others say time is on Trudeau’s side and there’s a pathway for the prime minister to get out of this slump in the coming months.
I don’t see how anyone can believe the economy will be back on track when Trudeau’s immigration plan will exasperate the affordability issue and further the decline in Canada’s standard of living. Not to mention his Net Zero madness.
Michael Taube: Leave it to Trudeau to destroy his party’s reputation on immigration
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immigration plan is broken. His Liberal government may not have admitted it in so many words, but their recent actions speak quite clearly.
After steadily increasing the number of newcomers over the years, Ottawa has announced it will cap the number of permanent residents it accepts at 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026. It’s finally dawned on the Trudeau Liberals that there needs to be an economic reset. Canada’s housing market is too expensive and our health care system is overloaded — and the impact of costly temporary resident programs is too often overlooked .
Ottawa’s latest immigration plans fail to move the needle, on housing and in Quebec
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this week took a baby step toward recognizing its immigration policy needs some fixing by halting future increases in the number of permanent newcomers the country intends to accept.
Still, Immigration Minister Marc Miller seemed to suggest that ”stabilizing” the number of new permanent residents at 500,000 constitutes a concession on his government’s part. Yet, under Mr. Miller’s plan, Canada is still on track to accept more new permanent residents next year (485,000) than it will absorb this year (465,000), or than it did last year (more than 437,000) before the number tops out at 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026.
Trudeau Liberals lying about Immigration numbers
Time to address the immigration number that matters now
Don’t look too closely at the immigration targets the federal government set Wednesday. They’re not the numbers that matter right now.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller kept the already-planned target of 500,000 in 2025, but said there’d be no increase in 2026. But that isn’t Canada’s immigration number.
The figure that matters more is the 2.2 million in temporary residents who are in Canada. That number has surged for reasons that have nothing to do with immigration planning. And the Liberal government should be screwing up their courage to do something about that, right away.
Canadian companies transferred $120B to Luxembourg to avoid paying taxes, study says
MONTREAL – A Quebec research institute says some of Canada’s biggest companies have transferred billions of dollars in profits to Luxembourg to avoid paying domestic taxes.
The research published today by IRIS says 59 Canadian companies – including 33 headquartered in Quebec – transferred some $119.8 billion in net profits to the European low-tax country over a period of about 10 years.
The companies operate in several sectors including finance, natural resources, food and technology, and include big names such as Thomson Reuters, Alimentation Couche-Tard and Saputo Inc.
I bet some of the same companies Trudeau has granted power to import indentured servants into Canada are on that list.
Trudeau government freezes immigration targets, plans for 500,000 permanent residents in 2026
Ottawa has frozen its targets for the number of permanent residents it will welcome to Canada, saying it plans to leave the number admitted to Canada in 2026 at 500,000.
It has also stuck with its target of 485,000 permanent residents for 2024 and said it plans to take action over the next year to recalibrate the number of temporary resident admissions to ensure the amount is sustainable.
The decision not to further increase numbers follows a sharp drop in public support for immigration over the past year, according to recent polling, as Canadians increasingly associate affordability and housing concerns with an influx of newcomers.
This is garbage. Nothing will improve.
