Using immigration to fill vacant, lower-skilled jobs is not sound economic policy

Ask a Canadian why the government is increasing immigration and more often than not they will tell you: “to grow our economy.” Ask an economist and you’ll rarely get that answer.

Boosting the economic well-being of a population is indeed a worthwhile objective of immigration, but that requires more than simply making the economy bigger.

India’s economy is 60 per cent bigger than Canada’s and Switzerland’s is 60 per cent smaller. Is India’s economy what we are aiming for? Making the economic pie as big as possible is clearly not the objective. What matters is the size of the average slice when the pie is divided by the population.

It’s a great policy if your goal is to treat citizens like shit. Canada’s China Class loves it.

Justin Trudeau Shrugs at Chinese Election Interference

Canada has been rocked in recent weeks by leaks indicating the government knew about Chinese meddling in recent elections. A Feb. 17 report in the Globe and Mail newspaper suggests that Beijing was actively meddling in Canada’s democracy at every level: federal, provincial and municipal. The leaks also reveal that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has responded to reports of interference with obstruction, obfuscation and only minor concessions.

Accepted Pay For Play ChiCom Payoff: Board, CEO of Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation steps down

Citing politicization of a 2016 donation allegedly orchestrated by the Chinese government, the board of directors for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has stepped aside.

A statement posted to the foundation’s website early Tuesday morning broke the news, saying President and CEO Pascale Fournier and the board made the decision to jointly resign.

“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the foundation’s management and volunteer board of directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” read the statement.

Is Canada’s China Class starting to sweat?

Liberal-NDP coalition excludes the Anti-Woke Left

It has been just over one year since the Liberal-NDP coalition formed a confidence-and-supply agreement. CBC News says this agreement could be “a model for the future.”

But it’s clear this coalition has not been good for Canadians who don’t buy into a woke political agenda, including the “anti-woke left.”

Rex Murphy: The special rapporteur and a special Alberta election

… Does not Mr. Johnston see that both the ties of friendship with the family, and his heading an organization exclusively set up to honour the prime minister’s father, are at the very least cause for a perception of conflict of interest?

He knows, he just doesn’t give a shit. Not that it matters as everyone knows it’s a pointless pantomime of transparency.

‘Liberals in trouble’ over China’s attempted meddling in Canadian elections, say pollsters

The China interference story has ‘long legs, and some twists and turns.’ The Liberals should be ‘quite concerned because if the current Conservative advantage consolidates and the longer the numbers stay here, it becomes the new normal, and it will require more effort to dislodge the trend line,’ says pollster Nik Nanos.

GUNTER: Lightweight Liberals need to bolster Canada’s military

Canada’s armed forces are ready for emergency pronoun deployment under battlefield conditions.

During the Cold War, the term “Finlandization” was derogatory.

Sharing a 1,300-kilometre border with what was then the Soviet Union, Finland had to endorse (or at least not oppose) the U.S.S.R.’s foreign and military policy in order to retain some semblance of independence.

Finland wasn’t exactly a puppet state, but it wasn’t entirely free, either.

The term became a symbol of capitulation in the face of a powerful nation.

One in three Canadians in ‘bad’ or ‘terrible’ financial shape, up from pandemic highs: Angus Reid survey

One in three Canadians say they are struggling financially due to the high cost of living, a level not seen since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a recent survey from the Angus Reid Institute finds.

The survey of 1,600 Canadians, released on Thursday, found that 34 per cent of Canadians are in “bad” or “terrible” shape financially, up six percentage points from last July.

Read the comments in r/canadahousing I don’t recall this level of pessimism & defeat ever before in Canada.

Texted my niece this morning she lives in the Pontiac where I am from in PQ. They are still without power in her her little village from last week’s storm, lines are literally down in the street. Hydro Quebec does not consider them a priority over more populated areas.

I wonder if reader Raftsman has power he is nearby.

GOLDSTEIN: Chattering class can’t handle truth about Trudeau’s carbon tax

As Upton Sinclair famously said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

That has been on full display among the chattering classes in Ottawa of late among politicians, rent-seekers and special interest groups whose political and economic fortunes depend on the public believing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax will do what he says it will do.

Howard Levitt: On the China file, Johnston fails the test of Caesar’s wife — and he must know it

“With conflict of interest, the rule of Caesar’s wife applies. It must not only be pure but must be seen to be pure.” — Bursey vs. Acadia Motors, N.B. Court of Appeal

Does the conduct of our former governor general, David Johnston, in accepting the position of special rapporteur with respect to the Chinese government’s influence in two federal elections, a post that requires him to decide on the ethics of his friend and cottage neighbour Justin Trudeau, pass the purity test? Meaning, not only is he free of a conflict of interest, but is he “seen” to be “pure,” (i.e. unimpeachable) as well?

Johnston is a member of Canada’s China Class, like Justin Trudeau, Dominic Barton, John McCallum and many others in government, business and academia.

They have conspired to sell our country out to the ChiComs for personal gain.

They deserve nothing but our contempt.

Justin Trudeau has been battered by crisis after crisis. A decade into his leadership, why do Liberals still think he’s their party’s best bet?

OTTAWA — Even on the playground of the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, circa 1984, Justin Trudeau was a polarizing figure.

This was Montreal, after all, at the tail end of his father’s prime ministership. Strong feelings clung to the family name, residue of the federalist victory in Quebec’s first failed referendum on separation and the constitutional dramas that encircled it. And boys at the prestigious Jesuit school were fully apprised of the sharpest polemical takes.

“I guess kids that age are the reflection of their parents’ talk at home,” said Marc Miller, who befriended the young Trudeau when they met in advanced English at Brébeuf that year.

The endless laughter in the Prime Minister’s Office

Can you hear that endless laughter from behind the closed doors of the Prime Minister’s Office? If anything, the past few weeks have proven that PM Justin Trudeau and his political operatives take Canadians for fools. Their audacious announcements and admissions are outrageous.

In response to Canadians’ call for an independent public inquiry into the revelations about the undue influences of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada, the PM hand-picked a longtime family friend to serve as his “special rapporteur” and provide his government counsel on possible next steps – counsel Trudeau signals will not be forthcoming until the end of May.

Have the Liberals passed their expiration date?

Governments are very much like a carton of milk – there is a best before date after which, many times, things turn sour.

Have Justin Trudeau’s Liberals passed their expiration date? Right now, all the major indicators are trending in that direction.

As China threat rises, the days of Canada as security freeloader are over

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Recent intelligence leaks that revealed Chinese agents trying to manipulate Canadian election outcomes were just the latest wake-up call that the Beijing regime is not a responsible international stakeholder, let alone a trustworthy friend or partner of Canada.

Communist China screens leadership candidates of BC community organizations that promote candidates for Canadian political office

China’s consulate in Vancouver conducts political screening on the potential leadership at influential community organizations that promote candidates for Canadian political office, according to a recording obtained by The Globe and Mail of remarks by a former executive of one of those groups.

Based in Richmond, B.C., the Canadian Community Service Association, or CCSA, regularly attracts Canadian political leaders and Chinese diplomats to its events, calling itself “the Chinese community’s spiritual home,” and a hub for trade and cultural exchange between the two countries.
