Ottawa contracts comprise up to 10 per cent of McKinsey Canadian revenue

Global management consulting giant McKinsey and Company says its contracts with the federal government make up as much as 10 per cent of its gross revenue in Canada.

The Canadian revenue figures for McKinsey’s Canadian operations, contained in a U.S. court filing, show how integral federal government contracts are to the New York-based firm, which has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.

Ex-McKinsey Chief Dominic Barton has had an insidious influence on Canada’s immigration policy which now serves corporate greed exclusively.

Freeland lets us in on her and Junior’s cozy relationship with Barton.

Carson Jerema: Trudeau Liberals embrace crony capitalism, but call it ‘innovation’ policy

As soon as the Americans passed the ludicrously named Inflation Reduction Act, the shameless begging in Canada for the the Liberals to bring in their own plan would make the most seasoned con artists wince. Everyone has their hand out, demanding their cut. Carmakers, universities, unions, oil and gas companies, renewable energy companies and anyone who believes lobbying Liberals is preferable to satisfying customers has dollar signs in their eyes.

Loblaw ends No Name price freeze, vows ‘flat’ pricing ‘wherever possible’

Loblaw will not be extending its price freeze on No Name brand products, but vows to keep the yellow label product-pricing flat “wherever possible.”

“The more than three-month price freeze ends January 31 — but we’re not done,” a Loblaw spokesperson said in an email to CTV News Monday. “Looking ahead, we’ll continue to hold those prices flat wherever possible, and switching to No Name will still save the average family thousands this year.”

And… Majority believes Canada is in a recession

The proportion of Canadians who believe Canada is in a recession (69%) has increased since last year at this time, when 51% believed Canada was in a recession.

It’s been 5 years since the bread price-fixing probe started. We still don’t have any answers

Consumer furor over rising food prices has reignited anger over the infamous bread price-fixing scandal, which became public in 2017 and allegedly involved several major grocers colluding to inflate bread prices.

“It’s time to get answers,” said anti-poverty activist Irene Breckon, 76, of Elliot Lake, Ont. “It’s not right that the poor people are suffering so much more, and the rich people … keep bumping up their prices.”

According to data released Tuesday, grocery prices have climbed by 11 per cent year over year.

Corporate Canada has been protected from competition for too long. It’s time to put consumers first

Maybe you saw that report by the CBC’s Marketplace the other day on the cost of wireless telephone service in Canada. If so, maybe your fists have not yet unclenched from the little balls of rage that formed as you watched.

Quoting a recent study by the Finnish research firm Rewheel, the report found the cost per gigabyte of wireless data transmission in Canada is “seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and 1,000 times more than Finland.”

Federal committee will probe government contracts with McKinsey

OTTAWA – A federal committee overseeing government operations is launching a parliamentary inquiry into contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

The firm recently came into the spotlight after news reports highlighted the rapid growth of the company’s work with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

The government says it has awarded 23 contracts to McKinsey since 2015 that are together worth $101.4 million.

They’ve ‘outdone even their wildest dreams’: Canadian billionaires saw wealth jump 51% during pandemic

While many Canadians struggled and saw their financial health deteriorate during the pandemic, the rich got richer.

A new report by Britain’s Oxfam International found that Canadian billionaires saw their wealth grow by a staggering 51 per cent since the pandemic began.

“This accelerated a trend that was already driving wealth inequality in Canada over the past decade,” Oxfam Canada reported.

Bearing in mind that this is a report from the very rapey folks at Oxfam there is no question we are in a new era of the Robber Baron.

Canada is looking more like a crony capitalist kleptocracy every day under Junior.

Demographic Crisis in Canada: How the Liberals are turning blind eye towards it

How did it come to be that silence regarding Anglo-European Canadians became the law of the land?

… Breaking down 2021 federal election results highlights the “strength of the Liberals and NDP in visible minority majority urban ridings and the relative strength of the Conservatives in ridings with between five and twenty percent visible minorities.”

A new report from the National Opinion Centre has delivered a rarity among immigration-related communications in Canada. Among other vital statistics related to Canadian demography, the following statement speaks to the impact of immigration intake in Canada:

“The number of ridings in which visible minorities form a majority of the population has increased from one in ten (33) in 2011 to close to one in six (51), reflecting high and increasing levels of immigration.”

If the “racialized” don’t vote Conservative why does Poilievre’s CPC support mass immigration like Justin and Singh?

Peter Zeihan: Canada’s 5 Problems – Worth a watch, basically our immigration policy is fecked. Kinda funny too.

… Mexico’s market is growing. Yours is not. Your market is protected. Mexico’s is not. The Mexican labor force is complementary to ours. Yours is not. We have a deal with the country that matters, and that isn’t you. We are leaving NAFTA. You know our terms. Take them or leave them. We are moving on.

In a single searing moment of revelation, everything that had guaranteed Canada leverage over America, everything that granted Canada a place in the world, everything that had generated any meaningful international influence, had evaporated. Canada capitulated within days and signed on for NAFTA2.

Canadians are now stealing overpriced food from grocery stores with zero remorse

If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t join them because you weren’t born into an excessively wealthy family, eat them. If you can’t eat them (the rich) because they’re people and that’s illegal, steal from them. And then brag about it on Twitter.

Immigration minister vows to continue ruinous mass immigration policy devised by carpetbaggers Dominic Barton and McKinsey & Company

The debate on whether the new immigration targets are too ambitious is also coinciding with heightened scrutiny regarding what — or who — is influencing government policy

OTTAWA — As Canada plans to significantly ramp up its immigration levels in the coming years, some policy experts are worried about potential effects on health care, housing and the labour market.

But Immigration Minister Sean Fraser insists that Canada needs more newcomers to address labour shortages and demographic changes that threaten the country’s future.

The Liberal Party has sold our sovereignty to the likes of McKinsey & Company. Get angry about this.

TD chief economist points finger at Bank of Canada for mortgage pinch

The central bank promised low interest rates would last — then hiked them aggressively. A new report says the Bank’s messaging helped nudge borrowers toward variable-rates mortgages that many homeowners now regret.

“You can be confident that interest rates will be low for a long time.”

Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem will forever wear those words, spoken in October 2020, according to a new report from TD’s chief economist.

Macklem’s message, delivered at a time when the central bank was trying to project calm and stimulate the economy with ultralow interest rates amid the disruption of the pandemic, was aimed at businesses considering new investments and “household(s) considering making a major purchase.”

So the Bank of Canada instructs the corporate class to deny workers wage increases in order to fight inflation.

The corporate class demands the immigration floodgates be opened because a huge pool of cheap labour is a sure fire way to depress wages.

The Bank of Canada raises interest rates injecting the fear of homelessness into a divided and fearful population.

The Liberal government destroys our energy base and raises its hated carbon tax to increase the cost of everything.

Everything suddenly seems to break all at once from air travel to health care to government services.

Public servants reveal that immigration policy is being set by the likes of Dominic Barton & McKinsey & Company.

Feeling manipulated yet?

Canada needs more immigration because that’s what Dominic Barton, McKinsey & Company and the rest of Canada’s corporate welfare class wants

Liberal minister says Canada needs more immigration, some worried about impacts on services

… Radio-Canada reported last week that two sources within Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said McKinsey & Company’s influence on immigration policy has grown in recent years.

A government response to a Conservative MP’s written question, which was tabled in the House of Commons in December, says the department has not recently awarded any contracts to the consulting firm — at least, not during the timeframe the MP asked about, which was from March 2021 until October 2022.

And during the interview Thursday, Fraser said McKinsey has had no role to play in the new immigration levels plan.

“I’m not being influenced by them,” Fraser said.

“This is something that I’ve arrived at independently.”

Fraser is a fucking liar.

Canada does not need mass immigration. The likes of Dominic Barton, McKinsey & Company and the rest of Canada’s corporate class want it so they can profit off the backs of citizens.

The Liberal Party has sold Canadians out to its crony capitalist buddies.

No-shows, dropouts and asylum requests — these 10 schools have Canada’s highest rates of ‘non-compliance’ among international students

Ontario is home to seven of the 10 schools flagged by the Canadian government as having the highest rates of “non-compliance” when it comes to international students failing to show up for their registered courses, or instead applying for asylum.

The names of the so-called designated learning institutions, or DLIs — schools approved to host international students — were revealed in an internal report by the Immigration Department’s integrity risk management branch.

The list raises questions about Canada’s rapidly expanding international education industry, which has seen schools bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign students at significantly higher tuition rates than their Canadian peers, and whether it may be experiencing issues around compliance and enforcement.

This is allowed to happen, make no mistake it is a deliberate effort to undermine our society.
