Marc Miller under fire over controversial immigration levels plan for Canada

Immigration Minister Marc Miller defended the Liberal government’s new immigration plan and promised further changes would be coming to keep the system — and Canada’s population growth — in check in the coming weeks.

Appearing before the House of Commons immigration committee on Monday to pitch the controversial plan, Miller was under fire from the right for the lack of details on how to ensure temporary residents with expiring status will voluntarily leave Canada and from the left for scapegoating migrants for the country’s affordability and housing crisis.


He has no plan other than to keep flooding the country with cheap labour.

What Impacts Could Flow From Trudeau’s Proposed Tax Break and Cheques? Economists Weigh In

The impact of the Liberal government’s plan to give Canadians a tax break and a cheque is up for debate, as economists weigh how meaningful the support will be for Canadians and whether the measures will contribute to inflation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week he would remove the sales tax on certain “holiday essential” items for a two-month period and send a $250 cheque to Canadian workers making less than $150,000 per year.


Coyne has an Off Day, speaks sense.

Ontario investigating recruiter in Alberta who helps supply low-wage foreign workers to Canadian Tire stores

Ontario’s Ministry of Labour is investigating the Alberta-based recruiter who was involved in bringing in scores of temporary foreign workers to staff low-wage jobs at Canadian Tire stores across Canada.

A ministry spokesperson told The Globe and Mail in an e-mail that it is conducting an open investigation into Allison Jones, the owner of a recruiting agency and an immigration consulting agency in St. Albert, outside of Edmonton. It did not provide any additional details about the probe.

Ms. Jones is a popular recruiter among franchisees of the Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons chains, helping franchise owners fill low-wage positions in their outlets with labour from abroad.

New immigration rules spark concerns over Canadian job losses

Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced new regulations this week allowing foreign students to work full-time during academic breaks, a move his department admits could increase competition for Canadian workers, particularly young people seeking entry-level or summer jobs.

“This may result in increased competition for Canadian workers,” the Department of Immigration stated in a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement.

John Ivison: Another wake-up call to ready for war as Canada slumbers on

On the day that Vladimir Putin said NATO members are now directly involved in the war in Ukraine because they have supplied missiles being used to bomb Russia, Justin Trudeau was announcing a yuletide $6.3-billion GST holiday on Christmas trees, beer and popcorn.

Canada, remember, is the country that can’t afford to hit its NATO spending target of two per cent of GDP for another eight years.


Unfortunately there really isn’t anything that we citizens can do to force Trudeau out short of violence.

I would suggest a general strike but that would just give our Captains of industry cause to replace everyone with Justin’s 3rd World replacement Canadians.

Our Tranny forces aren’t much use to anyone any how.

Boissonnault debacle feeds into pattern of ethical lapses in government, deepens Liberal woes, say observers

Former employment minister Randy Boissonnault’s resignation has ignited a political firestorm amid allegations his former company claimed Indigenous status to secure federal contracts, sparking outrage from Indigenous advocates and opposition MPs. The debacle further damages the Liberals’ credibility at a time when they already face bleak public opinion polls, say observers.

“If I were he, and the polling were already so bad for my party, I probably would have left much sooner in an effort to not damage the party,” former Conservative staffer Yaroslav Baran told The Hill Times.

For the good of Canada, Trudeau simply has to go

It is infuriating to watch the images that were splashed across our screens Friday night.

Both the violence in Montreal – the cars burnt, the windows smashed by the Hamas loving thugs – and the images of Justin Trudeau dancing at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.

Comparisons to Nero fiddling while Rome burns have been made countless times, but in this instance they are accurate.

Colleges and universities sure miss the $$ they scammed dumping loads of unwanted migrants on Canadian society

Colleges and universities face job cuts, deficits amid international student cap

Ontario’s colleges and universities say the federal government’s cap on international students is taking a toll on the higher education sector as some schools face growing deficits, layoffs and, in at least one case, a temporary campus closure.

St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ont., said it has eliminated 30 administrative and support positions and warned of further job cuts after its foreign student enrolment dropped by 50 per cent.

President and CEO Glenn Vollebregt said the college is participating in a provincewide efficiency review that is expected to conclude early next year and as that unfolds, “SLC cannot guarantee that there will be no further layoffs.”

With the Laurentian elite’s power fading, a new and less stable Canada is emerging

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are unlikely to hold onto the Greater Vancouver riding of Cloverdale-Langley City in the Dec. 16 by-election. The government is deeply unpopular, and it lost much safer seats in Toronto and Montreal in by-elections earlier this year.

But more is going on than simply voter resentment of a government that’s long in the tooth. The Liberal Party confronts a political phenomenon that emerged more than a decade ago and that has returned with a vengeance, threatening not only the Prime Minister’s electoral fortunes, but the future of the party itself.


The so-called Laurentian Elite gave us Trudeau, mass immigration and an Islamist 5th Column. What could be worse? What’s to miss?

Fire Trudeau for backing arrest of Netanyahu, says Canada opposition leader

The head of Canada’s opposition has called for Justin Trudeau to be fired for saying his government would abide by an international arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, which will take on Mr Trudeau’s Liberals in next year’s election, criticised Canadian premier for his “extreme” views.

“He’s interested in arresting the leader of a democratically-elected government, the state of Israel, which has been besieged by terrorists and foreign tyrants attacking its land,” Mr Poiliever said in a radio interview in Canada.

CHARLEBOIS: Is the GST holiday an inflation trap?

The recent announcement of a temporary GST/HST holiday on select food purchases, running from Dec. 14 to Feb. 15, has drawn significant attention.

While the move has been framed as a helpful measure for Canadians during the holidays and the challenging winter months, it is critical to unpack its implications. Beyond the political spin, the economic reality of this measure deserves closer scrutiny.

Canada’s Plan for U.S. Trade Talks: Throw Mexico Under the Bus

Canadian leaders are signaling that they are willing to throw Mexico aside in a bid to curry favor with the incoming Trump administration as they prepare for tough trade talks.

With a scheduled review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement beginning next year, Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his finance minister, have said they are ready to make a new deal with President-elect Donald Trump alone, cutting Mexico out.

Canadian leaders say they are worried that Mexico has become a backdoor to the North American free-trade zone for Chinese products, much of which would otherwise face steep tariffs in both Canada and the U.S. Trudeau said he raised these concerns with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Brazil.
