Canada’s Corporate Welfare Class

The Liberals broke the immigration system. But better is always possible

This week, when it releases its new immigration targets, the Trudeau government has an opportunity to begin rethinking immigration policy.

For the past eight years, the Liberal plan has been about sharply and steadily increasing permanent immigration, while enabling even sharper increases in temporary immigration – with the two interconnected streams powered by huge jumps in the number of foreign students.

Why? The government’s reasons are a combination of faith and politics.

Immigration is going to mean more extremists marching in our streets.

Canada’s immigration planning will now take into account housing, health care and infrastructure, minister says

In response to growing concern over Canada’s capacity to welcome more newcomers, the federal government says it will incorporate housing, health care and infrastructure planning with provinces and municipalities when setting the country’s annual immigration targets.

On Tuesday, Immigration Minister Marc Miller unveiled a report on the current state of Canadian immigration — along with a road map for tackling those challenges.

“We aim to build a system that is easier to navigate, with an inclusive and co-ordinated plan that aligns our immigration programs and policies with the needs of the country,” Miller said in a statement released the day before he will table his 2024-26 immigration levels plan.

Temporary foreign workers in Canada have skyrocketed over the past decade, according to StatsCan. Here’s a breakdown

The overall number of temporary residents reporting income in Canada has increased close to 150 per cent between 2010 and 2020, a new Statistics Canada study found.

That growth is being driven by postgraduate work permit holders and international students with study permits.

The federal government runs two programs for temporary foreign workers and residents: the Temporary Foreign Worker program and the International Mobility program.

Another scam run by corporate interests to flood the country with cheap labour and benefit their bottom line.

Immigration minister announces new rules to curb international student fraud schemes

OTTAWA – Colleges and universities that issue acceptance letters to international students will have to confirm all of them with the federal immigration department as Canada moves to crack down on fraud.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced the new rules Friday following an investigation this summer into more than 100 cases involving fake admission letters.

The department launched a task force in June to investigate a scheme that dates back to 2017, which saw immigration agents issue fake acceptance letters to get international students into Canada.

Bullshit.

Immigration: Canadians should just accept unaffordable housing, a decline in their standard of living and more Hamas supporters or else we’ll call you a racist

Amid growing dissent, will Canada change its immigration plans?

Canada is set to unveil the latest targets for how many new residents it hopes to welcome in the coming years.

The annual announcement of permanent resident levels, something Immigration Minister Marc Miller must do in Parliament on or before Nov. 1, is the kind of dry fare that has traditionally drawn little attention, serving largely as a governmental formality amid high levels of public support for immigration.

… NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan said she’s concerned about the backlash against the immigrant community.

“No good will come out of that because we have already lived through racism and discrimination in Canada’s history,” she said. “The government has to have a housing plan and an infrastructure plan for our community.”

The usual Liberal propaganda from the Star. Apparently Canadians are too dumb to realize that unaffordable housing and a rapidly declining standard of living is good for them.

Their “experts” are the usual spokesman for the corporate class who crave depressed wages and love the thought of profiteering from the shortages mass immigration brings.

Corporate Canada should have no say in immigration policy like our politicians they are insulated from the negative impact mass immgration has on society.

How do you think we ended up with thousands of Hamas supporters in our streets?

Corporate Canada doesn’t care where the bodies come from, they’re just fodder for the machine.

The usual garbage “analysis” is thrown up i.e. immigrants are necessary for economic growth.

They fail to mention that immigrants themselves age and thus are not a fix for Canada’s aging demographic or that Canada no longer attracts the “younger immigrant” that can give as much as they take over the course of their working lives.

Our immigration policy is so sick that most granted permanent resident status can’t even be bothered to take out Canadian citizenship any longer because we’re just a waystation on the route to greener pastures to them:  In 2021, of the permanent residents who had come to Canada within the last 10 years, just 45.7 per cent had become citizens. In 2001, that figure was 75.1 per cent.

The cost of family reunification with grandma and grandpa to Canada? Not mentioned.

They lie about a non-existent labour shortage and make no mention of how mass immigration depresses wages.

The impact of Automation and AI on employment? Not a factor in Star land!

But they do let you know that you’re a racist for daring to defend your own best interests.

Liberals shut down meeting to question RCMP commissioner on SNC-Lavalin probe

OTTAWA — In an unexpected move, the Liberals shut down a parliamentary committee that was about to hear from top RCMP officials on why it did not pursue a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s actions in relation to the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Trudeau, Poilievre among dozens of MPs targeted by China-linked ‘Spamouflage’ campaign

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and dozens of MPs have been targeted by a “Spamouflage” campaign connected to China, which saw a bot network leave thousands of comments on their social media accounts in recent weeks.

According to a new statement from Global Affairs Canada, the federal government’s “Rapid Response Mechanism” detected the campaign, which it says traces back to the People’s Republic of China.

Trudeau’s immigration policies exacerbate housing crisis

It’s not racism or xenophobia, it’s simply mathematics.

As the Trudeau government has cranked up immigration to record levels, the nation’s housing supply has failed to keep up. Hundreds of thousands of new Canadians are entering the country each year, while the number of new housing units being built is not even as high as it was in the 1970s.

America, Jr.

Canada is currently subjecting itself to a bizarre experiment in extreme population growth due to pedal-to-the-metal legal immigration.

Canada’s population rose about 1 percent per year for the first decade and a half of this century. But the Justin Trudeau era began in 2015, and growth was goosed to 1.5 percent by 2019. After a brief pandemic pause, the Trudeau government is now opening the borders extraordinarily wide.

In response, Canada’s annual population growth rate hit 3.0 percent in the third quarter of 2023, the kind of rise normally associated with Bangladesh in the 1980s. Over the summer, Canada’s population reached 40 million, up from 30 million in 1997.

Documents reveal why RCMP didn’t pursue criminal probe of Justin Trudeau in SNC-Lavalin affair

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police declined to pursue a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s actions during the SNC-Lavalin affair in part because the federal police force was thwarted in a bid to get confidential cabinet materials, newly released documents show.

… “The records show the RCMP is a negligently weak lapdog that rolled over for Prime Minister Trudeau by doing a very superficial investigation into his cabinet’s obstruction of the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, not trying to obtain key secret cabinet communication records, and burying the investigation with an almost two-year delay,” he said.

The records suggest that when the force finished its assessment in 2021, there was a request from the RCMP commissioner’s office to ensure it had “pushed as hard as possible,” and “exhausted all avenues” to get evidence.”

Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program is ballooning — creating a new class of wage slaves from abroad

This time last year, the media buzz about the labour market was over The Great Resignation, a bigger phenomenon in the United States but occurring here too, as workers took advantage of record-high job vacancy rates to abandon suboptimal jobs for better ones.

This year there’s an emerging made-in-Canada phenomenon that has barely generated a whisper, let alone a buzz: wage slaves from abroad. It’s a result of public policy.

The idea of owning workers seems like an abomination from another time and place. In Canada, in 2023, it’s difficult to comprehend how any worker could be beholden to a single employer.

GREEN: Trudeau’s super-charged battery foolishness reaches new heights

Every week, it seems, we get another report revealing the deep thoughtlessness and fiscal recklessness of Ottawa’s electric car and electric-car battery fixation.

For example, the Parliamentary Budget Officer recently asked how long it will take for the federal government to see a return on the $28.2 billion of production subsidies to EV battery-makers Stellantis and Volkswagen. The answer — about four times longer than government originally claimed.

Federal Prediction on Break-Even Period for EV Subsidies ‘Wildly Optimistic,’ PBO Tells MPs

The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) says the federal government’s estimate of five years for it to break even on subsidies to auto giants Volkswagen and Stellantis was “wildly optimistic,” citing the PBO’s recent report that found it would take more than 20 years.

The federal government relied on a report by the non-profit group The Trillium Network for their claim, but Yves Giroux told MPs on the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology Thursday that the Trillium report contained “a lot of assumptions.”

Asylum seekers are sleeping on Toronto streets again. How did we end up here?

Hundreds of people — including those seeking asylum — have once again taken to sleeping on Toronto’s streets in front of shelters and churches.

The city’s shelter system is once again at capacity, turning away nearly 300 people a day, the city said Thursday. While it’s continuously moving “dozens” of people from overflowing churches to shelters, hotels or permanent housing where possible, it is nowhere close to meeting demand, said Lindsay Broadhead, the city’s chief communication officer.

Pic. Just up the road from me is a Citizenship and Immigration office.

On Saturdays a hired bus arrives and unloads what I suspect to be newly arrived “asylum seekers” as many as 30 0r 40 wait outside for processing.

CSIS Warned PM’s Adviser of Beijing’s Targeting of MPs, Contradicting Adviser’s, Special Rapporteur’s Accounts

A second national security adviser to the prime minister got a warning in 2021 from the nation’s spy agency that Beijing was targeting MPs, a classified document obtained by The Epoch Times shows, but he didn’t brief it up. Additionally, this detail was not included in the special rapporteur’s report on foreign interference.

The Epoch Times has obtained, through the access to information regime, a partly redacted Top Secret limited distribution briefing note the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) sent to a handful of government officials in May 2021, advising them it would conduct defensive briefings with the targeted MPs.
