Asylum rulings made without a hearing raise security and fraud concerns, C.D. Howe Institute report says

The federal refugee tribunal’s practice of assessing some asylum claims without first questioning applicants could heighten the risk of fraud and weaken security screening, a report by a former director of policy at the Immigration Department says.

The report, to be published on Thursday by the C.D. Howe Institute, expresses concern that the Immigration and Refugee Board’s assessment of asylum claims from certain countries without hearings removes an important layer of scrutiny.

An access to information request by the report’s author, James Yousif, found that between Jan. 1, 2019 and Feb. 28, 2023, the IRB accepted 24,599 asylum claims into Canada without personally questioning the applicants in hearings.

Our country is run by criminals.

Half of Canadians say it would be unethical for Carney to get majority with floor crossers: poll

OTTAWA — Half of Canadians believe it would be unethical for Mark Carney’s Liberal government to achieve a majority by attracting opposition MP floor crossers, according to a new poll.

And, two months after two Conservative MPs crossed the floor to the governing Liberals, new data from a Postmedia-Leger poll suggest that voters’ feelings about party defectors are a political Rorschach test.

Message to Mark Carney: Europe without America doesn’t work

Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of England and now Canadian prime minister, was the toast of Davos last week for a speech that seemed to perfectly capture the moment with its talk of a “permanent rupture” and its supposed master plan for responding to the “Trumpquake” in global affairs.

But how realistic was his vision of a coalition of “middle powers” – by which he seemed to mean mainly Canada, Europe, the UK and Japan – to keep the torch of the old liberal order burning bright?

Why Mark Carney was wrong to provoke Donald Trump in Davos speech

Canada is making a costly mistake in managing its relationship with the United States. Mark Carney’s Davos speech, widely praised abroad, is the clearest recent example.

Canadians have been rattled by the aggressive approach the Trump administration has taken over the past year. There is no question that Canada needs to diversify trade and take concrete steps to protect its sovereignty.

But there is a growing tendency to treat antagonism toward Washington as a substitute for sovereignty. Publicly needling the U.S., or provoking its president, is increasingly framed as proof of strength or moral superiority. Those who question this approach are often treated as naïve at best, disloyal at worst.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Mark Carney:

“He rose to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump message, and that's not a great place to be when you're negotiating with an economy that is multiples larger than you are.”

Alberta independence advocates reportedly want U.S. to ‘bankroll’ province if referendum on separation succeeds

United States government officials have held talks on three separate occasions with organizers of an Alberta separatist movement, according to reports.

The information, which was published in the Edmonton Journal and the Financial Times, comes at a time of increased tension between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump, and as the Canadian government tries to reduce its exposure to the U.S. on matters of trade, defence and foreign policy.

More … Trump Officials Held Secret Meetings With Prominent Canadian Group Seeking To Secede

A new bombshell report in Financial Times says that US officials have held recent talks with Canadian separatists seeking to break Alberta, Canada’s oil-rich western province, away from Ottawa.

“Officials in the [US President] Donald Trump administration discussed loaning Alberta $500 million to break up Canada and make it the 51st state,” one source told the FT.

Ottawa spends $885M on health care for migrants and refugee claimants

Ottawa spent nearly $885 million last year providing a wide range of health services to illegal immigrants and refugee claimants, according to newly released figures tabled in Parliament that have triggered a Commons committee audit.

Blacklock’s Reporter says records disclosed through an inquiry of ministry show the Interim Federal Health Program cost taxpayers $884.6 million annually, including hundreds of millions for services not typically covered under provincial health plans.

Opting out of F-35 purchase would be ‘three ways from Sunday stupid,’ says retired major general

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra created the diplomatic equivalent to a sonic boom recently by stating that if Canada doesn’t go ahead with the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets, that will mean the United States would have to buy more of the advanced fighter aircraft for its own air force, and fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S.

Carney has solidified the Liberal base, but he hasn’t expanded it

Mark Carney’s Davos speech appears to have caught Canadians’ attention. The Angus Reid Institute has a new poll out showing him with a 60-per-cent “positive” rating (to 34 per cent “negative”), up eight points since December. Spark Insights has him at 61 per cent.

And Pierre Poilievre? Just 36 per cent rate him positively, according to Angus Reid; 39 per cent, according to Spark.

Larry Maher: Weak leadership and lax immigration policy is tearing the fabric of Canadian society

Canada is undergoing a quiet but profound erosion of national cohesion, authority and cultural confidence. At every level of government, political leadership has increasingly substituted ideological appeasement for the basic responsibilities of maintaining social order, enforcing the law and protecting the integrity of Canadian citizenship.

For much of the 20th century, Canada’s immigration model was focused on bringing in the skilled workers and families who wanted to come to build a better life. Newcomers were expected to join a shared national project, not to import unresolved conflicts or establish parallel political identities. Yet over the last decade, that balance has shifted dramatically.

China Is Embedded in Canada’s Arctic

“Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Without question, Russia does lots of horrible things.”

Russia, despite all the horrible things it does, is not able to challenge Canada without its partner. Carney was quick to name China as the biggest security threat to his country during a federal election debate last April. At Davos, however, he was not willing to talk about China posing a danger to his country.

Moreover, his foreign affairs minister was similarly reluctant. Anita Anand in Davos did not name names when reporters asked her to cite the top threat facing Canada.

Scott Bessent warns Carney not to ‘pick a fight’ with Trump

The Trump administration is once again ramping up its rhetorical pressure on Canada, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issuing a fresh warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney over looming trade negotiations.

Bessent was at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to launch what U.S. President Donald Trump has dubbed “Trump Accounts,” an investment vehicle for children.
