Trudeau in trouble as Canada’s ‘student trafficking’ industry backfires

Canada’s radical immigration experiment, which has given it one of the world’s fastest rates of population growth, has run into big trouble in the ring of suburbs and small cities around Toronto.

A post-pandemic surge of international students is causing prices for rental housing to soar and placing a spotlight on the uncontrolled growth of colleges that, according to the government’s own immigration minister, are taking advantage of vulnerable young people with inferior academic programs. Much of the blame is falling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who oversaw a tripling in the number of foreign students to more than 1 million. Today, about 1 in 40 people in the country is on a foreign-study visa.

Support for Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre is growing, Leger poll suggests … as young people devastated by generational economic harm caused by Trudeau Liberals shift right

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests support for Pierre Poilievre is growing, and most Canadians are optimistic about their household finances.

Support for the Tories was up one point to 41 per cent in the latest Leger tracking poll, which asks respondents for their voting intentions each month.

Fed up with economic issues, many young voters are moving to the right

… At a visceral level, such people simply can’t grasp the sense of futility that so many young Canadians feel at being unable to afford a home. Or perhaps a young couple was able to put down a down payment, but now confront skyrocketing mortgage payments, even as inflation eats away at their wages.

Tarion facing ‘largest claim event’ in its history as builders walk away from projects — and home buyers lose deposits

Ontario’s real estate consumer watchdog says it is facing the “largest claim event” in its history, with the organization expecting to owe more than $90 million to home buyers this year as builders walk away from home and condo projects.

In its 2024 business plan, Tarion said the claims are expected for deposits from homebuyers who purchased homes or condos from builders that either cancelled projects or were operating illegally, and didn’t comply with warranty legislation.

Peter Menzies: New Online Harms Act Gives Appointed Commissioners Too Much Power

Canada has launched legislation reining in social media and reducing its citizens’ freedom to express themselves online.

And while supporters of the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) believe tighter control of speech and images by government is necessary to make platforms such as X and Facebook “safer,” it’s unclear if that will be the case.

This is totalitarian.

Online harms act won’t ban ‘awful but lawful’ content online, says justice minister

Justice Minister Arif Virani says the Online Harms Act won’t give the federal government the power to determine what is and isn’t appropriate content.

The bill, tabled by the Liberal government Monday, includes an amendment to define “hatred” in Canada’s Criminal Code. That definition, Virani said, does not include insulting or offensive content, but rather recognized hate speech like calling for genocide.

“People insult groups or people or races or religions all of the time. That’s going to continue to be awful but lawful,” Virani told The Current’s Matt Galloway.

“But when you call for the extermination of a people, you’re hitting a hate standard that’s already been entrenched by the courts.”

From the river to the sea Virani will invent the crime that fits me.

Carson Jerema: Don’t believe the Liberals, online harms act targets free speech

As much as the Liberals want everyone to believe that their proposed online harms act is focused almost exclusively on protecting children from predators, and that, as Justice Minister Arif Virani said, “It does not undermine freedom of speech,” that simply isn’t true. While the legislation, tabled Monday, could have been much worse — it mercifully avoids regulating “misinformation” — it opens up new avenues to censor political speech.

Online hate speech must not become political ‘yo-yo,’ anti-hate expert warns

OTTAWA – The former chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is warning parliamentarians against turning a newly reintroduced section of the Canadian Human Rights Act into a game of political “yo-yo.”

Bernie Farber, a founding member of the advocacy group, said he welcomes the Liberal government’s effort to classify the dissemination of hate speech online as a form of discrimination.

The former Conservative government of Stephen Harper repealed that provision in 2013 out of concern it constituted a violation of free speech rights.

The asshole is retiring apparently.

Tom Mulcair: Trudeau and Singh manage to buy more time with Liberal-NDP pharmacare deal

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was ecstatic as he did a media round last weekend, and deservedly so. He was announcing his latest deal with Trudeau’s Liberals, one that would bring in the first prescription drug coverage(opens in a new tab) with a federal imprimatur.

Singh used a technique similar to the one he’d employed when bringing in the first phase of a federal dental care program(opens in a new tab): obtain something clear and tangible that people can understand. The complicated next steps could come later.

End UNRWA funding permanently, Israeli politicians urge Canadian government

A month after Canada temporarily halted funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, some Israeli politicians want Ottawa to make the funding freeze permanent.

Sharren Haskel, the Canadian-born member of Israel’s Knesset, said in an interview that Canada — as a significant backer of the contentious relief agency for Palestinians — should help lead the way by stop sending UNRWA money.

UNRWA should be defunded. End of story.

Will Trudeau do the right thing even if it means alienating the Hamas vote bloc?

Of course not.

‘Absolutely out of control’: Brampton cracking down on landlords renting out illegal student rooming houses

Over the past two years, Michelle Gauthier says she has seen her neighbourhood in Brampton significantly change. Homes have been sold off and dozens of people have moved in and out of certain houses, cramming into 1960s bungalows once reserved for single families.

“We’ve gone from houses that have two people living in them, to houses that – in some cases, like the one across the street from me – have 13 to 15 people living in it,” Ms. Gauthier said.

Influx of asylum seekers to Manitoba putting extra pressure on shelter system, advocates say

A growing number of asylum seekers in Manitoba is driving up demand for services to help them and putting pressure on Winnipeg’s already strained shelter system.

According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, 185 asylum claimants in Manitoba were processed this January alone, compared to just 35 in January 2023.

Because these individuals aren’t eligible for employment and income assistance, many have been relying on homeless shelters, said Emily Halldorson, humanitarian response specialist with the Manitoba Association of Newcomer Serving Organizations.

Put em on a bus to Trudeau’s house.

Liberal government wants to game system with health breaks for MPs

Liberal government wants voting health breaks for MPs, accuses Opposition of ‘obstruction’

The Liberal government wants to impose “health breaks” to eliminate overnight voting in the House of Commons and to combat what they say is Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre’s personal drive to “obstruct and create chaos.”

Government House leader Steve MacKinnon introduced the motion Monday. The New Democrats voiced their immediate support for it.

It would address the “obstruction” of the Opposition Conservatives for the remainder of the current parliamentary session and discourage such tactics in the future, MacKinnon said.

Father Says He’s Insulted by Government Offer to Drop Court Case Alleging Son Died Due to COVID Shot

A man who is suing the government because he says his son died due to taking a COVID-19 vaccine says he finds it “disgusting” that the government wants him to drop the case in return for not having to pay legal expenses.

“I’ve never been insulted so bad in my life as that offer. It’s disgusting,” Dan Hartman told The Epoch Times. “It’s insulting and it’s disrespectful to my son’s memory. They’re saying my son’s life wasn’t worth anything.”

Why it’s Danielle Smith vs. Ottawa, over and over

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith knows she increasingly needs to step up where Ottawa steps down.

“Canada is becoming irrelevant,” the premier reports, matter-of-factly. “We have the ability to supply the world with everything they need, and we really could be a leader. But we have a federal government that chooses not to, that chooses to work against the national interest rather than advance it.”
