The Chinese Consulate in Vancouver asked the province in 2014 to give to a Vancouver-based NGO the driver’s licences of Chinese nationals who had surrendered them in exchange for B.C. licences, according to internal government documents.
The revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of China’s overseas operations after reports emerged that the communist regime is operating unofficial police service stations abroad.
OTTAWA – A federal committee overseeing government operations is launching a parliamentary inquiry into contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
The firm recently came into the spotlight after news reports highlighted the rapid growth of the company’s work with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
The government says it has awarded 23 contracts to McKinsey since 2015 that are together worth $101.4 million.
While many Canadians struggled and saw their financial health deteriorate during the pandemic, the rich got richer.
A new report by Britain’s Oxfam International found that Canadian billionaires saw their wealth grow by a staggering 51 per cent since the pandemic began.
“This accelerated a trend that was already driving wealth inequality in Canada over the past decade,” Oxfam Canada reported.
Bearing in mind that this is a report from the very rapey folks at Oxfam there is no question we are in a new era of the Robber Baron.
Canada is looking more like a crony capitalist kleptocracy every day under Junior.
OTTAWA – Quebec is taking a dwindling share of Canada’s new immigrants, and significantly less than its proportional national share, as it maintains tight caps on newcomers, even as the Trudeau government continues to open the floodgates to more immigration nationally.
… But Quebec brought in 68,820 people, roughly 15.7 per cent of the immigrants to Canada, despite the province representing nearly 23 per cent of Canada’s population.
By contrast, Ontario took 184,000 newcomers in 2022, 42 per cent of the total who came to Canada, even though Ontario represents 38 per cent of Canada’s population. And British Columbia welcomed more than 61,000 people, almost as many as Quebec did, despite B.C. having a population that is 3.5-million people fewer than Quebec.
The government is never your friend but in Canada they are an outright enemy. Canada’s immigration policy is designed to benefit the Corporate class.
That you and your family may suffer due to shortages in housing, medical care and economic insecurity is brushed aside assuming it was even taken into consideration.
Our mainstream political parties, the LPC, CPC and NDP are all in on the scam hoping to harvest ethnic vote blocs.
The Liberals outsourced Canada’s immigration policy to Dominic Barton and McKinsey & Company.
They just don’t care about you or the havoc mass immigration has on our society.
Quebec noticed. Good for them.
Zeihan’s comments on Canadian immigration are interesting, basically we’re probably fecked.
How did it come to be that silence regarding Anglo-European Canadians became the law of the land?
… Breaking down 2021 federal election results highlights the “strength of the Liberals and NDP in visible minority majority urban ridings and the relative strength of the Conservatives in ridings with between five and twenty percent visible minorities.”
A new report from the National Opinion Centre has delivered a rarity among immigration-related communications in Canada. Among other vital statistics related to Canadian demography, the following statement speaks to the impact of immigration intake in Canada:
“The number of ridings in which visible minorities form a majority of the population has increased from one in ten (33) in 2011 to close to one in six (51), reflecting high and increasing levels of immigration.”
If the “racialized” don’t vote Conservative why does Poilievre’s CPC support mass immigration like Justin and Singh?
Peter Zeihan: Canada’s 5 Problems – Worth a watch, basically our immigration policy is fecked. Kinda funny too.
Below – This dates from 2019 but holds true. No one needs Canada all that much, especially the US – The Cutting Room Files, Part 3: The Future of Canada
… Mexico’s market is growing. Yours is not. Your market is protected. Mexico’s is not. The Mexican labor force is complementary to ours. Yours is not. We have a deal with the country that matters, and that isn’t you. We are leaving NAFTA. You know our terms. Take them or leave them. We are moving on.
In a single searing moment of revelation, everything that had guaranteed Canada leverage over America, everything that granted Canada a place in the world, everything that had generated any meaningful international influence, had evaporated. Canada capitulated within days and signed on for NAFTA2.
If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t join them because you weren’t born into an excessively wealthy family, eat them. If you can’t eat them (the rich) because they’re people and that’s illegal, steal from them. And then brag about it on Twitter.
Rate of jobs growth more than three times greater than in private sector
We often talk about Canada’s poor productivity and low per capita income growth. What we don’t discuss is productivity in the public sector. The goal of governments may be to make our lives better but is a bigger public service really giving us a higher standard of living?
The debate on whether the new immigration targets are too ambitious is also coinciding with heightened scrutiny regarding what — or who — is influencing government policy
OTTAWA — As Canada plans to significantly ramp up its immigration levels in the coming years, some policy experts are worried about potential effects on health care, housing and the labour market.
But Immigration Minister Sean Fraser insists that Canada needs more newcomers to address labour shortages and demographic changes that threaten the country’s future.
The Liberal Party has sold our sovereignty to the likes of McKinsey & Company. Get angry about this.
The central bank promised low interest rates would last — then hiked them aggressively. A new report says the Bank’s messaging helped nudge borrowers toward variable-rates mortgages that many homeowners now regret.
“You can be confident that interest rates will be low for a long time.”
Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem will forever wear those words, spoken in October 2020, according to a new report from TD’s chief economist.
Macklem’s message, delivered at a time when the central bank was trying to project calm and stimulate the economy with ultralow interest rates amid the disruption of the pandemic, was aimed at businesses considering new investments and “household(s) considering making a major purchase.”
So the Bank of Canada instructs the corporate class to deny workers wage increases in order to fight inflation.
The corporate class demands the immigration floodgates be opened because a huge pool of cheap labour is a sure fire way to depress wages.
The Bank of Canada raises interest rates injecting the fear of homelessness into a divided and fearful population.
The Liberal government destroys our energy base and raises its hated carbon tax to increase the cost of everything.
Everything suddenly seems to break all at once from air travel to health care to government services.
Public servants reveal that immigration policy is being set by the likes of Dominic Barton & McKinsey & Company.
Liberal minister says Canada needs more immigration, some worried about impacts on services
… Radio-Canada reported last week that two sources within Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said McKinsey & Company’s influence on immigration policy has grown in recent years.
A government response to a Conservative MP’s written question, which was tabled in the House of Commons in December, says the department has not recently awarded any contracts to the consulting firm — at least, not during the timeframe the MP asked about, which was from March 2021 until October 2022.
And during the interview Thursday, Fraser said McKinsey has had no role to play in the new immigration levels plan.
Canada does not need mass immigration. The likes of Dominic Barton, McKinsey & Company and the rest of Canada’s corporate class want it so they can profit off the backs of citizens.
The Liberal Party has sold Canadians out to its crony capitalist buddies.
Ontario is home to seven of the 10 schools flagged by the Canadian government as having the highest rates of “non-compliance” when it comes to international students failing to show up for their registered courses, or instead applying for asylum.
The names of the so-called designated learning institutions, or DLIs — schools approved to host international students — were revealed in an internal report by the Immigration Department’s integrity risk management branch.
The list raises questions about Canada’s rapidly expanding international education industry, which has seen schools bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign students at significantly higher tuition rates than their Canadian peers, and whether it may be experiencing issues around compliance and enforcement.
This is allowed to happen, make no mistake it is a deliberate effort to undermine our society.
B.C. group under RCMP scrutiny for Beijing ties has charitable status in Canada
RICHMOND, B.C.—Across the street from a strip mall lined with restaurants and hair salons, the shield of the Wenzhou Friendship Society hangs above a gated entry.
What has gone on behind those doors is part of a Canadian national security investigation into the aggressive foreign interference tactics of the Chinese government.
Elitism poses a far greater threat to democratic institutions than populism and the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland next week is a case in point.
From a Canadian perspective anyone who cares about democracy should worry a lot more about the WEF than the Freedom Convoy.
The government will review $66 million worth of contracts it awarded to management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday.
Speaking during a news conference in Mexico City at the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS), Trudeau said he’s asked Public Service and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek and President of the Treasury Board Mona Fortier to examine the contracts.
“I asked Minister Jaczek and Minister Fortier to do a follow-up and look closely at the numbers, and look at the circumstances that we heard about in the news,” Trudeau said in French.
