The consensus on immigration is crumbling as 8 in 10 Conservatives say too many are coming in: poll

The number of Canadians who say the federal government is letting in too many immigrants has spiked in recent years — and among Conservative voters the swing is even more dramatic, according to a new poll from Environics Institute.

The Canadian consensus that adding more newcomers is generally a positive development is crumbling — and it’s largely driven by most Conservative voters moving to a starkly more negative position on the immigration system.


Only the most stupid of Lib-Left ideologues believe the lies we’ve been fed about the benefits of not being able to afford a home or access healthcare in the name of immigration for the “Greater Good”. The rest lie out of habit.

Mass immigration only benefits the corporate class and vote whoring politicians (Which is all of them with rare exception).

And living in a low trust society where our government treats us like 2nd Class citizens reminds us every day that diversity is our strength.

Poilievre demands federal government release its contracts with Stellantis

The Conservative Party of Canada is calling on the federal government to publicly release its contracts with Stellantis following the company’s announcement Tuesday that it is scrapping plans to produce the Jeep Compass in Brampton, Ont., and going with a U.S. plant instead.

The demand was made in a letter sent on Friday to Prime Minister Mark Carney by the leader of the official opposition, Pierre Poilievre.

“You claimed yesterday that Stellantis is obligated to keep jobs in Brampton, yet auto workers have been left in the dark about what Canadians got for the $10 billion your government promised to that company,” Poilievre wrote in the letter.

Justin Trudeau’s 10-year election anniversary post did not go over well with Canadians

It’s been a decade since Justin Trudeau was elected as prime minister of Canada, and he wanted to pay tribute to that time.

Canada’s costly EV scheme stalls out again

On Wednesday, laid-off employees at the Stellantis plant in Brampton, Ont., received a robocall delivering bad news: they had no jobs to go back to.

It was another stall on the road for Canada’s automotive strategy, which has seen federal and provincial governments dole out mounds of cash and add regulations and protective tariffs in a floundering attempt to create more jobs and build a state-of-the-art electric vehicle industry.

LILLEY: Carney must fix Canada’s rep as an unreliable trade partner

As Mark Carney heads to Asia later this week he’ll be fighting a poor perception of Canada, that we’re an unreliable trading partner. It’s not the Americans saying this at the moment, though they would agree, it’s not the Brits who might nod their heads, and it’s not the European Union, which would also side with the sentiment.

KLEIN: Carney takes action on crime — or is it just politics?

Prime Minister Mark Carney deserves some credit. He said he would bring forward amendments to fix the catch-and-release system the Liberals created under Justin Trudeau, and now he has. That’s a step in the right direction. But before Canadians start celebrating, we need to take a closer look at the fine print. The devil, as always, is in the details.

Stellantis announcement only looks like bad news

This week’s announcement by automaker Stellantis that it’s moving Jeep Compass production from its Brampton, Ont., plant, to Illinois, highlights the folly of Ottawa’s policy of competing with Washington. But it also provides Canada an opportunity to reduce taxpayers’ exposure to the sagging electric vehicle battery market.


This could be a very lucky break for tax payers.

Lester B. Pearson won a Nobel Peace Prize. Mark Carney is just happy to be here

October is the perfect time of year to drive up the Gatineau River and soak up the riches of the Canadian autumn. The gorgeous oranges and reds are enough to make this Canadian homesick.

And nostalgic.

For if you hang a left at Chemin Mill in Wakefield and continue past the spa, you stumble upon Maclaren Cemetery, the tiny burial ground that contains Lester B. Pearson, that giant of Canadian politics.

Ports of entry are the ‘Achilles heel’ of border security: analyst

The federal government plans to hire 1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers across the country, according to a statement released Friday by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office.

“These new officers will help crack down on the movement of stolen goods, illegal guns and drugs, enforce import measures, and investigate unfair trade practices,” the statement read.

The Liberal government is also raising the CBSA’s recruitment stipend for the first time since 2005, from $125 to $525 per week, the statement said.


Carney has to check with Xi to see where the new hires will be placed.

Netanyahu adviser says Carney should reconsider willingness to arrest Israeli PM if he travelled to Canada

Canada’s Prime Minister is “betraying” Israel, and should reconsider his willingness to have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he steps on soil, an adviser to the Israeli leader said Saturday.

Mark Carney told Bloomberg in an interview published Friday that he would abide by the policies of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, to act on a 2024 warrant issued for Mr. Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court, which alleged that he committed war crimes by using starvation as a tool of warfare.

Rights Groups Urge Ottawa to Maintain Chinese EV Tariffs Amid Canola Dispute

Human rights and civil society groups are urging Ottawa to maintain tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), saying that allowing them into the Canadian market could pose national security risks.

Pro-democracy group Saskatchewan Stands with Hong Kong issued a press release on Oct. 16, calling on the federal government to maintain its tariffs on Chinese EVs “in light of serious national security concerns.” The call comes after China’s ambassador to Canada last weekend suggested that dropping the tariffs could prompt Beijing to lift its levies on Canadian canola–a proposal Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew have urged Ottawa to consider.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney Liberals will never be tough on crime

The first problem with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed “tough on crime” legislation is that being tough on crime is not in the Liberals’ DNA.

The origins of this dangerous philosophy can be traced back to Oct. 7, 1971, when Canada’s then-solicitor general, Jean-Pierre Goyer, representing the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau, rose in Parliament to announce a new approach for dealing with criminals.

HORTON: Canada’s quasi-authoritarian moment? A framework for reflecting on the Trudeau era

In Canada, political administrations come and go. Some are painfully endured by citizens, while others pass swiftly, marked by prosperity and comfort. But due to the fast-paced nature of modern politics, we seldom take the time to reflect on past administrations. Instead, we become absorbed in the immediacy of current events.

10 years later, Justin Trudeau’s ‘sunny ways’ are a distant memory

Somewhere this weekend, some federal Liberals may quietly mark an anniversary that many wouldn’t have predicted they would get to enjoy while still in power.

Ten years ago on Sunday, Justin Trudeau led his third-place party to a majority government, with promises of ”sunny ways” and the conviction that “better is always possible.”

Politics being politics, those feel-good slogans didn’t age all that well. Majority victories have eluded the Liberals in the subsequent decade and the most recent polls show that even with new leader Mark Carney, the party is still locked in a tight race with Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
