Tourist towns ‘desperate’ to depress wages for everyone in Alberta

Tourist towns ‘desperate’ for workers in Alberta

Canada’s tourism industry is struggling to find workers as employers face tighter rules on foreign labour and fewer Canadians stepping into the sector.

In Alberta’s mountain tourism hubs, those challenges are even more complex, with employers and job seekers pointing to a lack of affordable housing as a major barrier.

Just days after arriving in Banff, Gintare Dalmantaite is already looking for work.


If I see foreigners waiting tables and working in the kitchen my appetite is immediately suppressed and the risk makes my wallet snap shut.

Gun charges stayed against Canadian Sikh Khalistani leader

Inderjeet Singh Gosal, who leads the Sikhs for Justice movement in Canada following the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, has had gun possession charges against him stayed in an Ontario court.

Gosal was charged in September 2025, when Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stopped his car in Whitby, Ont. Police alleged they found a loaded handgun in a car, and charged Gosal along with two companions.

Charges against Arman Singh of Ontario and Jagdeep Singh of New York were dropped two months later, but continued against Gosal.

With hindsight, incompetent former immigration minister says he would have capped international students sooner

Sean Fraser – almost certainly lying if his mouth is open.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser, who was in charge of immigration during some of the years Auditor General Karen Hogan found instances of fraud in Canada’s international student program, said with hindsight, he would have acted sooner to fundamentally change it.

The Opposition Conservatives have been calling for his resignation, along with that of current Immigration Minister Lena Diab and Fraser’s immediate successor Marc Miller, from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet.

Mastermind of Canada’s largest gold heist admits to $20M theft at Pearson airport, paying off ‘debt list’

“Mastermind”

After pulling off the largest gold heist in Canadian history — a $24-million haul stolen from Pearson airport — Arsalan Chaudhary took a portion of the spoils for himself and then distributed the profits to names on his handwritten “debt list,” a Brampton court heard on Monday.

Reading from an agreed statement of facts, Crown attorney Jelena Vlacic detailed the money list police found in Chaudhary’s apartment — a $10.3-million ledger he’d penned to track the distribution of profits from the melted gold.

LILLEY: Why are Liberals expanding temporary foreign worker program?

On the same day that Statistics Canada revealed a higher unemployment rate of 6.7% and a youth unemployment rate of 14.1%, the Carney government made it easier for some employers to hire temporary foreign workers. On March 13, the latest Labour Force Survey showed that Canada had lost 108,000 full-time jobs and that over the past year had added more than 30,000 people to the unemployment line.

Canada’s Criminal Government Not Tracking Foreign Students After Visas Lapse, Audit Says

Canada’s foreign student program lacks integrity controls to verify ongoing visa compliance, and the government does not track whether students leave the country when their permits expire, the auditor general said.

Karen Hogan’s audit of the program released Monday found that the government was successful in reducing the number of study permits it issued each year but fell short on improving the integrity of the system.


Our government is nothing short of criminal.

Accused extortionists deported as part of CBSA crackdown on cross-Canada network

Weeks after CBC News identified two Indian nationals deported from Canada for serious criminality, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has identified the pair as proof of expanded efforts to disrupt extortion networks.

According to Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) records obtained by CBC News, Arshdeep Singh and Sukhnaaz Singh Sandhu were known to each other — and to the alleged “prime conspirator” behind a series of extortion-linked shootings at a Surrey, B.C., café.

Both men moved between provinces, wracking up run-ins with police at every stop.

B.C. premier signals he won’t support feds’ expansion of temporary foreign worker scam

B.C. Premier David Eby has signalled he won’t support the federal government’s move to temporarily increase rural employers’ allowances for temporary foreign workers, saying there should be a pathway to permanent residency instead.

It comes after an event Monday on the Sunshine Coast where the local MP re-announced a move to allow rural employers to have up to 15 per cent of their workforce be low-wage temporary foreign workers (TFW).

The new foreign workers cap is up from the current cap of 10 per cent, and would allow for eligible workers to get an automatic one-year extension on their work permits.

Send them back. Send the politicians who support this assault on our economic and social security back with them.

It’s the latest twist in a massive immigration fraud saga in Saskatchewan that has been winding its way through the justice system for many years.

At the heart of that drama lies a big mistake by the CBSA.
