Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named two new senators on Saturday, with broadcaster Charles Adler and health-care executive Tracy Muggli joining the ranks of members of Canada’s upper legislative chamber.

Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Nearly one-quarter of Canadians will use food banks in fall: StatsCan
An alarming number of Canadians — about 23% — say their finances are so bad they’ll have to rely on a food bank this fall, according to Statistics Canada, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
The rate was higher than reported in Canadian Social Surveys during the pandemic when it sat at 21% in 2021.
“Findings from the current analysis show certain groups are experiencing greater financial strain due to rising prices including those with lower incomes, younger adults, households with children and persons with disability,” wrote Stats Can analysts.

Following criticism, Ottawa removes funding caps for residential school searches
OTTAWA – The federal government is backtracking on a move to limit funding for searches of former residential school grounds.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree said in a statement Friday the government has heard concerns from Indigenous leaders and communities “loud and clear.”
Communities could previously receive up to $3 million per year through the Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund, but the government had moved to cap funding at $500,000.
Canada’s human-rights chief cannot be seen as biased. This is actually very simple
Though the public furor over the appointment of Birju Dattani as Canada’s next human-rights commissioner centred around his comments about Israel, his resignation on Monday was prompted by a simple lack of disclosure.
Mr. Dattani has used both “Birju” and “Mujahid” as a first name in the past. According to a third-party investigation commissioned to look into his appointment, he adopted the name “Mujahid” when he “embraced a Muslim identity” at 19 years old, though he continued to use both names in public appearances.
Trudeau promises a stern finger wagging at companies caught abusing the Foreign Worker Scam
Trudeau mulls name-and-shame policy to curb foreign worker abuse
(Bloomberg) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is mulling a change to help crack down on abuses of temporary foreign workers — publicly naming individual business managers or owners who violate Canada’s labor rules.
The measure would be part of a broader set of reforms to clean up the country’s migrant labor system, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified.
The government is facing heavy criticism for a policy that has made it much easier for companies to bring in temporary foreign workers, or TFWs, and for lax enforcement of rules intended to protect them. Trudeau’s administration, responding to concerns about labor shortages, increased the limits on low-wage TFWs in 2022, allowing firms to hire up to 20% of their staff through that program — with a 30% limit in certain sectors, such as construction.
So Trudeau will let them continue to flood the nation with wage depressing foreigners but promises a stern finger wagging.
MORGAN: Mass immigration crushes nations
Mass immigration has become problematic in every developed nation on earth. Migrants from Islamic nations have been flooding en masse into European and North American countries and they are integrating poorly to say the least. As migrant-based disorder spreads and riots break out, defenders of the status quo are trying to quell all debate by labelling people as “far right” and of course as racists.
Visitors to Canada with valid visas claim they are being pressured to seek asylum upon arriving — or leave
Pranjal Singh was looking forward to a summer in Canada to hang out with his older sister, whom he had not seen since she left India to study in Toronto in April 2021.
The last thing the 18-year-old from Delhi had anticipated was being made to file a refugee claim in Canada when he landed in Montreal en route to Toronto on June 23.
“My brother comes from a wealthy family in India. He faces no danger in India,” said his sister Priyanshu Singh, 22, adding that their father owns several shoe factories and multiple properties in India.

Trudeau gov’t pouring billions into an EV industry it seems unwilling to protect
I realize that tariffs and electric vehicles aren’t the most alluring subject in mid-August, when we’re trying to hold on to the last weeks of summer.
But you have literally billions of reasons to pay attention — exactly 52.455 billion reasons, which according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer is the number of your tax dollars that governments have invested in the EV industry so far.
Trudeau’s investment or rather waste of our tax dollars on EV’s was a mistake.
It was an ideologically driven green-scam meant to bail out the auto industry which if it had stuck to ICE vehicles would be in much better shape.
China flooding our market with electric vehicles no one wants doesn’t seem like much of a threat.
LILLEY: For Trudeau, a Canadian is a Canadian sometimes
Is it that a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian or is it sometimes that a Canadian is a terrorist who should have citizenship revoked? That’s the question many are asking after the Trudeau government began musing about stripping Ahmed Eldidi of his citizenship.
Renovating NYC consul general’s residence would cost $2.6M, so Global Affairs bought $9M condo instead: documents
OTTAWA – Renovating the current residence of Canada’s consul general in New York would have cost $2.6 million and left “fundamental issues,” so the government bought a new $8.8-million condo on “Billionaire’s Row” instead, according to Global Affairs Canada.
LILLEY: Even Liberal MPs are hiring temporary foreign workers
Hiring people under the temporary foreign workers program is so popular that even Liberal MPs are doing it. While online outrage focuses on companies like Tim Hortons filling their stores with out-of-country, low-wage workers, Sukh Dhaliwal has taken advantage of the program.
Why RCMP Launched a Special Program to Counter CCP in Quebec
Toronto and Vancouver have the largest Chinese and Hong Kong diaspora populations in Canada, yet it was in Quebec that the RCMP launched a special program to encourage the community to report cases of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) harassment.
The program was launched in early July and features social media videos in Chinese, French, and English, with the Quebec RCMP announcing that it is actively engaged in investigating Chinese interference in the province. It also features uniformed officers going into the Chinese community and encouraging people to report cases of harassment by the Beijing regime.

Quebec demands federal quota system to relocate asylum seekers to other provinces
Quebec is calling on Ottawa to introduce a nationwide quota system to evenly distribute asylum seekers across Canada.
In a letter sent to federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller on July 22, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette recommended that Ottawa set quotas for provinces to receive asylum seekers based on their demographic weight, their capacity to house newcomers as well as their “historic effort” to welcome them.
The story was first reported by the Journal de Québec.
John Ivison: How do the Liberals fix skyrocketing immigration? By lowering the entry standards
Stephen Harper suggested in his 2018 book, Right Here, Right Now, that historic support for immigration in Canada was because policy united the aspirations of new arrivals with those of citizens.
“Make immigration legal, secure and, in the main, economically driven and it will have a high level of public confidence,” he wrote.
Canadians have rejected the premise that the country accepts too many immigrants for more than two decades, but public confidence in the system has been rocked by disastrous public policy emerging from Ottawa over the past couple of years.
SLOBODIAN: All parties failed on shocking human rights commissioner appointment
The Birju Dattani fiasco exposed how easy it can be for the wrong people to slide past detection into obscenely well-paying government jobs, that arm them with tremendous power over Canadians.
This happens too often in the Liberal government to be an “honest mistake” or a failure of process.
