Jamie Sarkonak: How a Jamaican man remained in Canada years after robbing sex workers

Jamie Sarkonak: How a Jamaican man remained in Canada years after robbing sex workers

In 2019, Jamaican national Dwayne Marlon Douglas committed a number of vile acts. He held a gun to the head of a sex worker as three of his male companions took turns having sex with her; then, he had his way too.

Days after that, he pistol-whipped a man with an imitation handgun, stole his phone and other valuables, and threatened to kill him if he reported the robbery to police. He also robbed a female erotic masseuse in a stairwell around the same time, stealing $4,300 worth of items; after she reported the crime, he told her she was in “trouble.” He also distributed nude photographs of his girlfriend for money without her consent.

Federal poll finds nearly half of Canadians think country takes ‘too many immigrants’

Federal poll finds nearly half of Canadians think country takes ‘too many immigrants’

OTTAWA — A survey commissioned by the federal government late last year suggests nearly half of Canadians believe the country is admitting too many immigrants — but the share of respondents who think so has dropped since last year’s polling.

The survey found 47 per cent of respondents believe “too many” immigrants are coming to Canada, while 38 per cent say “about the right amount” are coming.

A similar government poll conducted in late 2024 reported 54 per cent of respondents saying that “too many” immigrants were coming to Canada.


I bet the poll respondents in favour of immigration are foreigners.

Idle youth UK: Are ‘Neets’ jobs being taken by migrants?

THE Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) published some startling figures on Thursday. The latest HMRC payroll data, their analysis reveals, shows that the number of young foreigners entering the workforce massively outstrips UK nationals.

Specifically the number of non-EU migrants on the payrolls rose from 82,000 in January 2020 to 370,000 in December 2025 – an increase of 290,000 and up 355 per cent over five years compared to just 11,000 extra young UK nationals.

Why it’s Christian to oppose mass immigration

Why it’s Christian to oppose mass immigration

I AM grateful to our Editor at TCW for highlighting the ongoing crisis of immigration into the UK, which remains at alarmingly high levels. We continue to be faced with the complete and irreversible transformation of our national character and identity.

As a Christian pastor, it has much disturbed me over the years how the churches have failed to provide vital Biblical insight into this matter. They have generally emulated the doctrines of atheistic cultural Marxism in arguing that large-scale influxes into Britain can only be positive and enhancing. How vital is the need, therefore, for some Bible-based input.

Ottawa opened the immigration floodgates and Canadians are paying the price

Ottawa opened the immigration floodgates and Canadians are paying the price

For decades, immigration in this country was tied to economic need, integration and national interest. Then Ottawa abandoned that model and opened the floodgates in the name of ideology, cheap labour and political advantage.

Now Canadians are living with the consequences.

Despite talk of lowering reliance on the TFW Program, there are currently 87 active LMIAs filed by Tim Hortons to fill jobs across Canada.

Canada is Cracking Down on Immigration. It’s Stabilizing Housing Prices.

Canada is Cracking Down on Immigration. It’s Stabilizing Housing Prices.

For years, Canada’s political elite insisted the housing crisis was caused by everything except immigration. It was a supply problem. A zoning problem. A financing problem. A speculation problem. A foreign-buyer problem. A NIMBY problem.

But never a population problem.

B.C. court finds retailer liable for exploiting up to 880 migrant workers

Hundreds of migrant workers have won a class action lawsuit against Mac’s Convenience Stores and three B.C. immigration consultant companies after a judge found they had unlawfully charged recruitment fees for jobs that rarely materialized.

In a Thursday, May 28 ruling, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sharon Matthews found Mac’s had entered into employment contracts with the three Surrey-based consultant companies to provide temporary foreign workers for stores across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.

Jamie Sarkonak: All-inclusive migrant health plan will burden Canada for years to come

There are thousands of asylum seekers and illegal residents awaiting deportation who get more free health care than regular Canadian citizens. These all-inclusive care packages cost the public treasury $1 billion last year — and a recent attempt by the feds to bring it under control won’t help much, based on a Parliamentary Budget Officer report released Tuesday.

Bishnoi extortion gang sent letter to Canadian police warning it had 1,000 gunmen

The India-based gang behind Canada’s extortion crisis sent a letter to a B.C. police station last year boasting that it had 1,000 foot soldiers willing to carry out shootings, a police officer revealed on Thursday.

Testifying at a deportation hearing, the extortion investigator described the letter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that was delivered to a police station in Abbotsford, B.C., on Aug. 13, 2025.

The Corporate “Labour Shortage” Myth

The Corporate “Labour Shortage” Myth

In March, the Carney government announced a relaxation of rules for the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program in rural Canada. At the request of any premier, the allowable share of low-wage TFWs in rural workforces can be increased from 10% to 15%. So far, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have opted in.

It is notable that most provinces have not chosen to avail themselves of the federal government’s offer to boost TFW numbers. The Canadian public’s support for immigration restriction shows few signs of cooling, and provincial governments are to some extent behaving accordingly.

IQ, Crime, Nobel Prizes, And Immigration: The Diversity That Is Destroying Western Civilization

IQ, Crime, Nobel Prizes, And Immigration: The Diversity That Is Destroying Western Civilization

Sometimes data or information that seems completely disconnected can tell a story when taken together. I experienced that recently. Over the course of a few days I saw a number of posts on X that caught my attention. First was a post stating that “Whites make up only 8% of the world’s population… so in fact, we are the minority.” That 8% is down from a peak of approximately 25% in the 19th century.

Why Greta is so angry about Swedish immigration

Why Greta is so angry about Swedish immigration

Greta Thunberg is 23 years old. Six years have passed since her emotional address to the UN Climate Action Summit about the end of the world. She has since shifted her attention from climate activism to one fashionable left-wing cause after another, but her tone is as shrill as ever. The other day, she denounced Sweden’s migration policy as inhumane. Her conclusions, as usual, wrong. But she is at least right about one thing: Sweden has adopted an entirely new migration policy.

For years, Sweden took more asylum seekers per capita than any other country in Europe. Now asylum numbers have fallen to their lowest level since 1985, even as pressure across the rest of the continent remains immense.
