Seven years of foolish Liberal immigration policy is cratering housing, health care and the middle class in the country’s two largest cities, Toronto and Vancouver. A new report by CIBC Capital Markets reveals that the overly rapid immigration problem is much more serious than most people realized.
… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is reducing the living standards of Canadians while at the same time attacking the country’s economic base and resource industries.
A whopping 36 per cent of the condos in Toronto are owned by investors, according to a new report published by Statistics Canada via the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.
In some smaller markets, investors account for well over 80 per cent of condo ownership, and across Ontario overall, almost 42 per cent are owned by investors.
The report defines an investor as someone who owns at least one residential property that is not used as their primary place of residence. The data is pulled from early 2020, before the pandemic feeding frenzy hit and prices shot up by more than 50 per cent across the country as interest rates reached historic lows.
This is the result of Trudeau’s immigration policy. Immigrants park their money here to make a profit consequently driving up home prices and making Canada too expensive for Canadians to live in. Then they move on, that’s all they contribute. See Below.
So now we have, at least for the time being, a state-sponsored “representative” to combat Islamophobia.
I say for the time being only because there are concerted mutterings out of Quebec that the advocate-activist so appointed is an ill choice. And as all know Justin Trudeau has an eagle’s eye for alarms coming out of his home province.
It’s a risky business for any government to be out of touch because survival depends on being in touch.
That was why last week’s Abacus Data poll was so striking — it suggested that 72 per cent of voters feel the Trudeau government is not focused enough on the cost of living crisis. Half of current Liberal voters feel the same way, the poll suggested. The numbers were comparable for other issues that are preoccupying Canadians like housing and health care.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says Ottawa didn’t tell the public about China’s spy balloon that was spotted over North America because there were “lives at stake.”
“There are lives at stake. There are techniques at stake. This is complex stuff,” Mendicino told the Canada-China House of Commons committee on Feb. 6.
When the U.S. Senate passed a bill in December to restrict the use of TikTok on government-issued devices, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that “we are watching what the Americans are doing.” But the government does more than just watch – it spent $21-million advertising on the likes of TikTok last year.
As we scroll these days, we may notice a government-promoted post, which means that we as taxpayers have paid to post information on a platform and push it into people’s feeds. The $21-million spent last year is at the crest of a steady increase over the years, up from $7.8-million in 2017. On TikTok specifically, the Government of Canada spent $1.7-million on ads last year, up 128 per cent from the previous year.
Overdose deaths continue to rise in Vancouver, the epicenter of Canada’s addiction crisis, as barriers to drug use are demolished. After British Columbia’s decriminalization experiment came into effect, the province’s center-right Liberal Party pledged that, should they be elected, they will invest $1.5 billion into Portuguese-inspired rehabilitation-oriented treatment. This would be a significant improvement over British Columbia’s current farce. Earlier this week, the Canadian province of British Columbia decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.
If someone told you that that misinformation killed 2,800 Canadians based on a single opinion poll by Abacus Data, would you believe them? I would have a hard time buying it.
Last week, a report by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) made the brash claim that misinformation killed 2,800 Canadians during nine months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The model behind this figure assumed that belief in misinformation caused most cases of non-vaccination. It was too simplistic to be useful, but that didn’t really matter — the feds produced yet another expert-backed report that connected the word “misinformation” with death and fear that would stoke hysteria in the press .
Gee a Liberal funded “academy” writes a report favourable to the LPC agenda. Imagine that.
OTTAWA – Canada has sent one of its military planes to Haiti to help the country cope with escalating violence.
A joint statement today from National Defence Minister Anita Anand and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has deployed a CP-140 Aurora aircraft to help “disrupt the activities of gangs” in Haiti.
Gang violence has become a reality for those living in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince since last summer, with hundreds having reportedly been kidnapped and killed.
I hope it doesn’t break down.
Many people still sneer at Justin Trudeau for his silly costumes; soft-spoken, even boyish, demeanor; and overt love for all leftist tropes, whether racial, sexual, religious, or anything else. Those people are fools. Trudeau is a dangerous man who is rapidly creating a totalitarian government that grants rights only to those who march in lockstep with Trudeau’s leftist political and social beliefs.
By standing up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Quebeckers have exposed a striking truth: modern race politics in Canada is mostly elitist performance art.
This week, in an effort to quell the uproar caused by his appointment of Amira Elghawaby as the government’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, the Prime Minister declared that “Quebecers are not racists.” He went on to explain, “Quebecers are among the people who are the strongest defenders of individual rights and freedoms, along with a lot of other Canadians.”
Could this spy balloon be enough for the Trudeau government to truly be alarmed over the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party?
Conservatives were beaming on Friday after the Liberal government quietly and suddenly abandoned its hotly debated attempts to expand firearms restrictions through Bill C-21.
“My Conservative team and I have forced Justin Trudeau into a temporary but humiliating climb-down today,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre crowed.
It was a “climb-down” and it was “humiliating” — that much seems beyond dispute. But if Conservative criticism was a deal-breaker for this government, the Liberals would have a hard time getting much of anything passed.
Honourable colleagues,
There is a certain essay by Cicero called “The Second Philippic” which was written to expose the power of the state against freedom of speech and freedom of thought—and the power of one man, Marc Antony. It is a brilliant proclamation and shows Cicero at his best and bravest. It was delivered in the Roman Senate, and Cicero paid for writing it with his life. His hands were cut off and taken to Marc Antony, as proof that Cicero would never write again.
Cicero lived in a dangerous time.
We were told by the Prime Minister’s Office that Amira Elghawaby was appointed as Canada’s first Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia “following an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process.” It is beyond my comprehension how such a process would not have involved a simple web search to see whether Elghawaby had said or written something that could be embarrassing for the government or her, or both. For instance, writings that would have revealed a simplistic view of Islamophobia in Québec?
