GTA rents hit record $3,000, creating a ‘very alarming’ situation … Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is paying off BIGLEY for his corporate cronies

Average rents in purpose-built apartments broke the $3,000 barrier for the first time in the first quarter of this year — the sixth straight quarter in which Toronto area rents have seen double-digit year-over-year increases, according to Urbanation.

The situation is “very alarming,” even though rent growth has moderated, said Shaun Hildebrand, president of the market research firm, on Thursday. Rents slowed to 13.8 per cent annual growth in the first quarter from 15 per cent in the final quarter of last year and 17 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. The figures apply to purpose-built apartments constructed since 1985.

Canada offering more than C$13 bln over decade for Volkswagen battery plant, govt source says

OTTAWA, April 20 (Reuters) – Canada agreed to provide subsidies of up to C$13 billion ($9.7 billion) over a decade plus a C$700 million grant to lure Volkswagen AG into building its North American battery plant in the country, a government source said confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News.

The total Canadian investment, which could include funds from the Ontario government also, will largely match what Volkswagen would have got from the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the source said.

Government funded media outlet lashes out after barbarian conservatives speak ill of another notoriously biased government funded media outlet CBC

Pierre Poilievre’s solution for a ‘broken’ Canada is to break more things — including the CBC

Pierre Poilievre appears to have divided this country into two nations. There’s the Canada that Justin Trudeau broke, and then there is the Canada that the Conservative leader himself wants to break.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation definitely falls into the want-to-break category. As Trudeau put it on Monday, Poilievre despises the CBC so much that he’s willing to join forces with Twitter’s mercurial new owner, Elon Musk.

“The fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians says a lot about Mr. Poilievre and his values,” Trudeau said at a morning press conference.

Spoken by a tone deaf idiot whose circle line their pockets courtesy Communist China’s “Billionaires.”

What is the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and what does it do?

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has been mired in a political controversy that pushed the organization’s president and board to resign last week.

At the centre of the controversy is a 2016 donation from two donors with links to the Chinese government. The donors pledged $200,000 to the foundation at the time.

While the donation spurred an initial controversy in 2016, interest in the story revived in the wake of recent media reports stating Beijing interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The foundation said it would reimburse the funds but apparently ran into administrative roadblocks. (Radio-Canada has confirmed the donation has since been returned.)

Using immigration to fill vacant, lower-skilled jobs is not sound economic policy

Ask a Canadian why the government is increasing immigration and more often than not they will tell you: “to grow our economy.” Ask an economist and you’ll rarely get that answer.

Boosting the economic well-being of a population is indeed a worthwhile objective of immigration, but that requires more than simply making the economy bigger.

India’s economy is 60 per cent bigger than Canada’s and Switzerland’s is 60 per cent smaller. Is India’s economy what we are aiming for? Making the economic pie as big as possible is clearly not the objective. What matters is the size of the average slice when the pie is divided by the population.

It’s a great policy if your goal is to treat citizens like shit. Canada’s China Class loves it.

Howard Levitt: On the China file, Johnston fails the test of Caesar’s wife — and he must know it

“With conflict of interest, the rule of Caesar’s wife applies. It must not only be pure but must be seen to be pure.” — Bursey vs. Acadia Motors, N.B. Court of Appeal

Does the conduct of our former governor general, David Johnston, in accepting the position of special rapporteur with respect to the Chinese government’s influence in two federal elections, a post that requires him to decide on the ethics of his friend and cottage neighbour Justin Trudeau, pass the purity test? Meaning, not only is he free of a conflict of interest, but is he “seen” to be “pure,” (i.e. unimpeachable) as well?

Johnston is a member of Canada’s China Class, like Justin Trudeau, Dominic Barton, John McCallum and many others in government, business and academia.

They have conspired to sell our country out to the ChiComs for personal gain.

They deserve nothing but our contempt.

Growing number of Canadians believe big grocery chains are profiteering from food inflation, survey finds

A growing number of Canadians believe big grocery chains are profiteering from food inflation and unnecessarily pushing prices higher according to a new survey released Tuesday.

The survey, conducted by Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, found that 30 per cent of Canadians think grocery chain price gouging is the main reason food prices have been rising in Canada. In Ontario, 31.7 per cent of respondents believed grocery chain price gouging was the main cause of high grocery bills.

Former CSIS officials say decades of China warnings went unheeded

Former CSIS officials say the intelligence agency has been warning successive governments about foreign election interference for decades but all failed to act — and measures outlined in this week’s budget are not enough to address the problem.

“Thirty-two years in national security work, every time we’ve had a crisis, every time we’ve had an incident, that’s what the government’s done. We’ll throw money at the RCMP, we’ll say you folks have got to sort that out. And I don’t think that’s really an appropriate response,” Dan Stanton, former executive manager at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told a committee of MPs on Friday.

More than half of Chinese Canadians say suggesting some Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist, only 1/3 believe ChiComs are election meddling

A third of Chinese Canadians believe Beijing meddling in elections, pressuring Canadians: poll

Just over a third of Chinese Canadians believe the government of China has tried to interfere in elections here and pressure Canadians in pursuit of its political aims, suggests a new Postmedia-Leger poll of an ethnic group at the centre of the foreign interference affair.

… At the same time, more than half thought suggesting certain Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist.

As discussion and debate rages over allegations of meddling by Beijing in Canadian affairs, much attention has turned to the country’s 1.7 million or so residents of Chinese descent.

No punches pulled those numbers indicate a clear danger to our society.

Our Politicians have remade Canada into a balkanized 5th Columnist state via mass immigration, multiculturalism and the denigration of our nations values and heritage.

Playing identity politics with Canada’s security is a vile and dangerous practice that all our political parties engage in.

Down with the Uniparty.

Raymond J. de Souza: Trudeau will drag Johnston down, like he does everyone else

OTTAWA — I admire the Right Hon. David Johnston. Which is why I was disappointed that he accepted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invitation to serve as a “special rapporteur” regarding the Chinese regime’s interference in our elections. Trudeau has an uncanny ability to drag those around him down.

Johnston was brought down by his own doing. He is a CCP dupe like our idiot PM. They already inhabit the reputational slums of Canada’s despised “China Class.”

Chinese Diplomat Endorsed Montreal Councillor Who Heads Organizations Under RCMP Probe: Report

A senior diplomat from the Chinese consulate in Montreal reportedly urged attendees of an event in September 2017 to support a Brossard municipal candidate who is the director of two organizations now under RCMP investigation for being alleged Chinese police stations.

On Sept. 8, 2017, the Chinese consulate in Montreal held an event at the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM) to announce the release of a handbook meant to assist Chinese visitors to Canada. The event was moderated by Xixi Li, director of SFCGM and another Chinese community centre in Brossard, the South Shore Sino-Quebec Centre (CSQRS), according to an article first published by Sept Days, a Chinese-language weekly in Montreal.

In a normal country rather than Trudeau’s 3rd World shithole version of Canada there would have been expulsions by now.

Terry Glavin: David Johnston the right man to whitewash Chinese interference

He has spent a half century supporting Beijing’s strategy to draw Canada into its orbit of influence

There are so many crazy things the Trudeau government has been expecting Canadians to believe about the partisan advantage the Liberals have accrued to themselves owing to their cozy relationships with China’s agents of influence in this country that it’s really difficult to decide which is the most objectively unbelievable and easily disprovable.

Why you can’t afford to rent let alone buy a home: Canada’s population grew by record 1 million in 2022, spurred by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam

Canada’s population increased by more than a million people for the first time in history in 2022, almost entirely due to a surge in immigrants and temporary residents, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.

Total population grew by a record 1.05 million people to 39.57 million in the 12 months to Jan. 1, 2023, and about 96 per cent of the rise was due to international migration, the statistics agency said.

The increase, which helped Canada retain its position as the fastest-growing G7 country, translates to a population growth rate of 2.7 per cent and such a rate would lead to the population doubling in about 26 years, the agency said.

Plus … Trudeau, Poilievre Spar Over Canada’s Housing Affordability Crisis

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre sparred over the ongoing housing affordability crisis across Canada during question period on March 22, with the leader of the official opposition calling on Trudeau to find ways of bringing down rising mortgage costs.

Poilievre said Trudeau promised to bring down housing costs when he first took office eight years ago, but has so far failed to do so.

“It cost $1,400 to pay an average mortgage [in 2015],” said Poilievre. “How much does it cost today?”

Poilievre later pointed out that Canada’s average mortgage price has risen to over $3,100 since then.

Trudeau’s Liberal MP Han Dong secretly advised Communist Chinese Diplomat to keep the Two Michaels imprisoned in 2021: sources

Liberal MP Han Dong, who is at the centre of Chinese influence allegations, privately advised a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that Beijing should hold off freeing Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, according to two separate national security sources.

Both sources said Dong allegedly suggested to Han Tao, China’s consul general in Toronto, that if Beijing released the Two Michaels, whom China accused of espionage, the Opposition Conservatives would benefit.

The Liberal government must resign, they are evil.

Opposition to David Johnston’s appointment shows how much politics has changed

The strong opposition to David Johnston’s appointment as special rapporteur investigating Chinese interference in elections reveals how our times, and our politics, have changed.

In a previous column, I suggested that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre should accept Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s choice of Mr. Johnston on the grounds that the former governor-general was appointed to that post by then-Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, and that he is one of this country’s most trusted, and trustworthy, figures.

Johnston is a suspect “choice” given his own ChiCom links alone.
