Ontario colleges are fuelling unprecedented growth in international students

In 2012, Ontario’s Conestoga College had about 10,000 full-time students, nearly nine out of 10 of them Canadians. A decade later, the college had about the same number of domestic students, but it has more than doubled in size thanks to huge enrolment from abroad. And with those foreign students has come a tripling of revenue and a massive windfall for the school.

The college, located an hour’s drive west of Toronto in Kitchener, Ont., had more international study permits issued last year than any school in Canada, and almost as many as the two of the country’s leading universities, the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, combined.

What a scam.

The Star: Criticism Of Immigration Policy is RACIST! You’re RACIST For Daring To Act In Your Own Best Interest!!

The Star suggests that any criticism of immigration policy is RACIST

“… New Housing Minister Sean Fraser embarked into that perilous territory a few weeks ago when he said Canada might need to crack down on universities attracting foreign students without the means to house them properly.

… That didn’t stop Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre from accusing Justin Trudeau’s government of whipping up resentment against immigration.

“I think Justin Trudeau would love Canadians to blame immigrants for the housing crisis that he has doubled. But immigrants are just following the rules that he put in place. So how can we blame them and not him?” Poilievre told reporters.

… Little wonder, then, that Poilievre walks quickly backward from any argument with the Liberals over immigration numbers. The current Conservative leader hasn’t minded lifting a few pages from Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada — globalist conspiracies included — but he hasn’t joined the “no mass immigration” chorus of the Bernier crowd.


Sorry Star, people don’t blame immigrants for the housing crisis they blame our corrupt political class, their crony capitalist pals and their lickspittle journalist hirelings.

A deplorables moment? Questioning mass immigration makes you part of the “Bernier Crowd” according to Delacourt who works for the corporate welfare parasite Toronto Star. After all, it’s racist to resist having your economic and physical security sacrificed for the corporate bottom line.

Freeland imposes extraordinary measures to force out founding investors of Wealth One Bank with alleged ties to China

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has instructed three of the founding investors of Wealth One Bank of Canada to divest their shares, and has also ordered the financial institution to comply with extraordinary national-security conditions intended to firewall its operations against the trio, who have faced federal scrutiny over alleged links to the Chinese government.


The three men, Toronto insurance executive Shenglin Xian, Vancouver property developer Morris Chen and Toronto grocery tycoon Yuangsheng Ou Yang, were told in April to sell their shares in the bank. Wealth One has also been ordered to sever all ties with the three, and to put in place stringent security measures to guard against money laundering and unauthorized sharing of sensitive information.

Report finds pandemic fuelled an explosion in public sector jobs

Public sector jobs in Canada since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have grown at a rate more than three times as fast as those in the private sector, including the self-employed, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

No secret there, they tend to be concentrated in urban centres like Toronto and Ottawa traditional Liberal Party strongholds. The LPC is just shoring up the vote.

Saskatchewan designed an immigration policy that benefits citizens and newcomers, The Star says it’s RACIST!

This Canadian province wants to pick immigrants based on their nation. Is that fair, or a ‘slippery slope’?

In a first-of-its-kind pilot project, Saskatchewan is picking skilled immigrants based on their country of residence, raising eyebrows for deviating from Canada’s selection system that has otherwise been open to all regardless of race and nationality.

In August, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program created six draws with the goal of inviting 542 skilled immigrants in dozens of occupational backgrounds to settle in the province as permanent residents.

The catch is only those who are living in one of these eight countries can qualify: Czechia, Germany, India, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine.


Because Canada’s current policy inviting incompatible cultures who have little to no desire to integrate has worked out so well.

Just think of the ethno-religious conflicts we’d miss out on if we screened for suitability! Assassinations, riots, honor killings!

Such vibrant diversity makes us stronger.

Canadians love being treated like 2nd class citizens in their own nation and understand that immigration policy must always conform to the needs of the corporate and political class.

You gotta break a few eggs to depress wages, create housing shortages and foment a fearful balkanized society I always say.

But here’s the rub, Trudeau has turned Canada into such a shithole state that the majority of “permanent residents” no longer desire to become citizens:

In 2021, nearly 45.7 per cent of permanent residents who’d been in Canada for less than 10 years became citizens.

That’s down from 60 per cent in 2016, and 75.1 per cent in 2001.

But of course the Star finds an “expert” who argues the old system is working just fine. Fine in the sense that today’s immigrants are not the old immigrants and are more likely to use Canada only as a safe place to park their money before moving on to greener pastures.

Fine in the sense the government is so inept they lost track of a million migrants thus grossly understating the housing and infrastucture crisis.

That’s a great return on investment.

China has been using a Trudeau government funded Canadian think tank to bolster its green image for the last 4 years, critics say

China is using Canadian think tank to fund and bolster its green image, critics say

Funded by the federal government, a Canadian think tank has for four years been acting as the international secretariat for a Chinese environmental agency headed by one of Beijing’s most powerful Communist Party leaders.

Its little-known role adds to an unusual, longstanding and controversial collaboration between Canada and the Chinese government-founded agency. Touted as an advisory body for policy makers in Beijing, the council is accused by critics of being part of China’s vast global influence machine.

Average asking rent hit a record high of $2,078 in July: report

The Canadian rental market has reached a new record, with the average asking rent surging to $2,078 in July.

This marks an 8.9 per cent annual increase, the most rapid growth seen in three months, according to a new report from Rentals.ca. This coincides with a 1.8 per cent rise in average asking rents in Canada from June, representing the most substantial month-over-month growth observed in the past eight months.

High-level judges may have paid to meet Trudeau before their appointments

At least six current superior court justices may have paid to meet with the prime minister or the deputy prime minister at Liberal Party fundraisers shortly before being appointed.

These findings come in the wake of an earlier analysis by the National Post and the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF), which found that over three times as many Liberal party donors have been appointed to judicial office than Conservative donors since 2016.

GUNTER: Canadian cities on low end of employment income scale

This week, Vancouver’s Fraser Institute put out tables showing the median employment income in the 141 largest cities in North America.

The highest-ranked Canadian city is Ottawa because bureaucrats have higher incomes on average than private-sector workers. Still, our nation’s capital was only 53rd best on the continent.

But mass immigration doesn’t depress wages! Justin said so!

China’s Real Estate Woes Send Another Warning to Canada

Canada should follow US lead in decoupling from China, says business professor

The global economy has been waiting for China’s post-COVID economic boom, but that has not materialized. And the opposite could well be playing out, with analysts saying Canada has yet another reminder to wean itself off China.

At issue is China’s bloated property market, which by some estimates makes up over 25 percent of China’s economy. At risk are commodity prices, which had been given a long-term boost from China’s overbuilding of real estate.

Decouple from China? It won’t happen.

The sole purpose of the Liberal Party is to ensure that our China Class is able to enrich themselves at the ChiCom trough.

In return the LPC and friends surrender our nation’s sovereignty to their ChiCom masters.

Ottawa’s Immigration Myths and Madness

Canada’s mass immigration plan is heating up and it’s accelerating. The impact of this plan will be devastating to the country in a variety of ways including the economy, scarce housing, overloaded health care, collapsing education, and unaffordable social programs.

This is a tsunami of mass immigration.

Governor general spent $3 million in travel during first full year in office

Transportation costs for the Governor General during her first full year in office cost nearly $3 million.

Data from government documents put the cost of flying Governor General Mary Simon to four overseas engagements and 17 domestic trips across Canada last year at $2.78 million, spread across a number of government departments and ministries.

That number may still climb, as receipts from 2022 are still being tallied.

Cutting back on international students could financially cripple universities, colleges … so lets keep screwing Canadians and Justin we’re not blaming students we’re blaming you

OTTAWA – If Canada reduces the number of international student visas, as Housing Minister Sean Fraser mused this week, it would be a serious blow to colleges and universities who increasingly need those students to balance their books.

Fraser, who was in the immigration portfolio just last month, said he is concerned about the more than 800,000 students Canada accepted last year, worried that many do not have access to good housing when they arrive and distort local rental markets.

‘Different factors’ fuel housing crisis, not international students: Trudeau

“We have to be very careful. Over the past years, we’ve seen a lot of different people and a lot of different groups blamed for the housing crisis. At one point it was foreign homebuyers. At another point it was developers being super aggressive. Another point, it was under-investments by various orders of government. Now it’s people saying, ‘Oh, it’s international students,’” Trudeau said.

“Yes, there’s a lot of different factors that go into this housing crisis. But it’s something that has been brewing and developing over the past number of decades.”


Trudeau can’t help but lie, it’s his nature and he will never accept blame for his monumental screw-up of Canada’s immigration policy.

Trudeau initiated a Mass Immigration scam on  an unheard of scale without a thought to how it would overwhelm our infrastructure and price Canadians out of decent housing. The deep thinkers in the Liberal Party have determined that making everyone poorer is sound economic strategy.

Those “foreign home buyers”  Justin mentions were laundering hundreds of millions from Trudeau’s admired dictatorship of Communist China. Small wonder the foreign influence inquiry seems dead in the water.

The mass immigration scam was bolstered by Trudeau’s abuse of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program which allows his Corporate Class Cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.

The international student ruse is just another way to sell Canadian citizenship and add to the pool of cheap labour Justin’s corporate cronies desire. Currently 800,000 “students” compete for housing with hard pressed Canadians.

“… The truth is that a big proportion of international student visa holders who arrive here to attend career colleges spend more time working than studying. Indeed, as immigration minister earlier this year, Mr. Fraser lifted the 20-hour-per-week work limit for international students – providing proof if any were needed that the foreign student visa program is also a temporary foreign worker program aimed at helping desperate employers fill low-paying service-sector jobs. Capping visas for these students would leave hundreds of employers in the lurch.

Having some of our uber woke universities go bust is a good thing since so many solely focus on turning out racist grievance mongers and other degenerates.

Maybe business should pay a higher wage, I do not believe  only “desperate small business owners” rely on foreign student labour, that sounds like a Chamber of Commerce talking point.

The Trudeau government doesn’t care about rural Canada

KAMOURASKA, QUE.—The summer is almost over, and with it, the massive retreat of urban visitors from the rural areas that are Canada’s summer playgrounds. I see them from June until now on the Trans-Canada Highway nearby, the Ontario licence plates speeding east to Atlantic Canada, or returning back. They may be tourists who decided to pass on Maine or Massachusetts this year, or they are folks from “down home” visiting family and friends before returning “upalong.”


This is self evident in light of the housing crisis Trudeau’s liberal party created and its “effort” to solve it.

The Liberals will not back down on their mass immigration scam which according to their top thinkers will make everyone richer by making everyone poorer.

They know mass immigration will continue to drive up the cost of rent and home ownership.

They also know that no magic wand exists to create new housing and it will be many years before supply meets demand.

The increase in costs is naturally higher in urban centres that attract the most immigrants.

Unfortunately demand is so great the increase in housing costs has spread far beyond urban borders and now small towns feel the same pressures city dwellers do.

However the large urban centres like The GTA and Montreal also happen to be Liberal Party strongholds.

Strongholds they’ll need in order to form yet another minority government with Sell-Out Singh.

Do you think the Liberals are going to trash the Home Equity their most consistent supporters have accrued?

Me neither.
