Parliament should allow free debate on immigration quotas without dismissing calls for reductions as racist, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute said Thursday.
The Ottawa think tank warned that Canada’s reluctance to face blunt disagreements on immigration has left the country “weakened to the point of serious decline.”

National flags have started lining our streets. They may say something more
Driving through the south west of Birmingham, it’s hard not to notice something about the lampposts.
For more than a mile, almost every one has a St George’s or union jack flag attached – thousands of them.
In one district, Weoley Castle, the BBC found two men carrying a ladder and shopping bags. A DIY trip this was not, because as we stop to talk to them one rests the ladder against a lamppost, the other pulls a union jack flag from the bag, and the next minute it’s flying high.
The BBC to my knowledge has never published a negative piece about the Palestinian flags that litter the UK. But that’s an upper class thing so it’s OK. Only proles would fly a Union Jack.

Here’s what Canada’s latest immigration data reveals
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has revealed the closely watched statistics on permanent and temporary resident trends after being accused for weeks by the Conservatives of withholding the data.
On Friday, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada updated its webpages with data on arrivals of asylum claimants, international students and foreign workers, as well as applications caught up in the department’s backlog.
Although there are still more than 2.2 million immigration applications awaiting a decision, the number of temporary residents — made up of international students, foreign workers and refugee claimants — declined in the first six months of 2025, compared to the same period last year.
Declined? Not by any material amount. Carney and his pal Wiseman are screwing us over as expected. It is an act of evil.
The article is BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA excreted by the Star on demand.
This is not immigration, it is population replacement.
Across age and party lines, most Canadians think immigrants should embrace local norms
New polling from Research Co shows how Canadians currently feel about immigration, with many saying immigration levels should be reduced and even more saying immigrants should have to adopt Canadian values to live here.
Overall, Canadians are divided on whether immigration has a mostly positive or mostly negative effect on the country. Forty-three percent say it is positive, while 39 percent say it is negative.
Young people are struggling in the labour market for two main reasons: high immigration and high minimum wages
Young people have borne the brunt of the recent deterioration in Canada’s labour market. Youth unemployment usually runs at about twice the rate for adults, reflecting young workers’ lower productivity and inexperience at searching for a job. But now it’s nearly three times the rate for adults, which puts it at “crisis levels” according to some commentators.
The likely cause of this crisis? Government programs that have raised the minimum wage and sharply increased the supply of low-skilled foreign workers.
Our Titans of Industry, our so called “Business leaders” demanded and received more cheap foreign labour than was ever needed with no questions asked from the Liberal government.
They sold us out, all of us.
The media elites’ classist indifference to the fraying of social bonds is gross.
A new high-status opinion just dropped: London is fine. From their converted Edwardian houses in the leafy suburbs where you won’t get a burger for less than 15 quid, London’s preening opinion-shapers have taken to X to say all is well in the capital. Ignore the ‘Trumpist’ talking points about London going down the swanny, they cry between glugs of pinot noir – life’s never been better! One envisions the grimaces of people on the other side of town when they see such hot takes pop up on their mobile phones that they cling to for dear life lest some wanker on a stolen Lime bike should snatch them.
Economists are urging the government to factor in the estimated 500,000 undocumented residents in Canada as it consults on its forthcoming immigration levels plan.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab is consulting on targets for the number of temporary and permanent residents Canada plans to allow in the next three years, in what some consider a litmus test of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s position on immigration.
The immigration levels are annually presented in October or November to help planning for housing, schools, health care and infrastructure.
First erect walls encircling the city then ship them all to Ottawa.
Farking lying bastards.
Numbers update.
Immigration levels in first third of the year outpaced @MarkJCarney promised cap on quotas.
Figures released by @CitImmCanada for first 120 days set a pace that would see nearly 400,000 new landed immigrants in 2025.https://t.co/oiom76oPHa@LenaMetlegeDiab… pic.twitter.com/pk3nltzwcY— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) August 13, 2025
From Torontology – When did everyone in the GTA turn Indian?
“So I just came back to Canada after being out of the country for a couple years, an after searching for a few months I landed a forklift warehouse job in the GTA, paying about $23/hour.
Whole crew? Indian.
Managers? Indian.
I was literally the only non-Indian guy there.
They all speaking Punjabi or Hindi or something the whole time I didn’t understand a thing
The lunchroom absolutely smelled like ass I couldn’t even my meal in there so I went and ate it in my car.
Then after my shift I hit McDonald’s to grab a drink… same thing. Staff, customers everyone there was Indian too.
Not tryna be rude or weird or nothing, I was just shook. Like when did this happen?? Was there some big immigration wave recently or is this just how it’s been in Ontario now?
Genuinely curious haven’t been around in a few years and it feels like the GTA changed heavy. What the fuck happened?”
Why to drop a bad idea on immigration
The federal government seems to be quietly abandoning a program that would have opened a door to permanent residency for temporary foreign workers employed in low-wage jobs in Canada.
The program, mentioned unceremoniously in a bulletin in the Canada Gazette in April of 2024, appeared to offer a quick path to permanent residency for international students and temporary foreign workers making a living as food and beverage servers, delivery drivers, cleaners and general labourers.
What sort of scumbags would happily sacrifice Canadians for cheap foreign labour?
Corporate Canada that’s who.
I swear they’re gonna make me some sort of new wave communist.
The Carney Liberals have been hiding immigration data from Canadians for months. Now, after being called out on it, the government says it’s all in the name of openness and transparency.
Normally, government numbers on the number of new arrivals, the number of asylum seekers and more are released on the government’s open data portal. As of now, the government hasn’t released any data since May and that information only covers until the end of March.

In nature, systems operate in dynamic equilibrium. There is a flow and balance, a yin and yang to all parts. We see the same process in the evolution of societies as the wonders of modernity flow throughout the civilization.
What does this have to do with immigration? Everything. With modernity the old immigration thinking based on only more and more bodies is in direct conflict with present physical and technological reality.
More than a year after announcing a new immigration stream that would have granted permanent residency to low-wage workers already in Canada, the federal government has yet to move ahead on formally launching the program – suggesting that Ottawa could be backing away from the plan altogether.
The plan targeting low-wage workers was informally announced in April 2024, through the Canada Gazette. Consultations were set to begin last year on amending immigration laws to admit a “new permanent economic class of workers in TEER 4 and TEER 5 jobs.”
Mass immigration from incompatible cultures is a feature not a bug. Yes they are out to get you.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but Justin Trudeau was Canada’s prime minister until only a few months ago.
As he gets smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, we’re coming to terms with some of the public policy disasters that came out of Trudeau’s time as prime minister.

How do Canadian officials detect plagiarized refugee claims?
A failed refugee claimant came to Amandeep Singh in May for help after he was refused because his claim was “nearly word for word” identical to others before the refugee board.
While the Edmonton-based immigration consultant had heard for a long time that some claimants and their counsel have plagiarized claims to game the system, what struck him was what tool the refugee board and immigration officials use to flag these cases, which he says seems to have happened more often.
Don’t worry Carney and his pal Wiseman will make it easy for the unvetted … Immigration lawyers say rising number of CSIS security screenings causing delays
Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman says “a lot of the screening” of immigrants is “a waste of time”.

Ottawa has exponentially hiked the number of low-wage migrants it brings into the country, creating more competition for job-seeking young people.
The search for a summer job is a rite of passage.
Filled with anxiety and reward, the quest in Canada offers young people an introduction to the marketplace, where they will spend a large portion of their lives, hopefully leading to independence and self-confidence.
But this summer in Canada, opportunities for people between the ages of 15 and 24 are abysmal. Their hunt is full of dead ends and discouragement. Talk about making hope-filled young people feel unwanted.
The Liberal government and their Corporate cronies should be jailed for the ruin they have visited upon Canada with their hateful mass immigration policy.
An Irish lawyers’ group knows what the true root cause of the housing crisis in Ireland is: mass illegal migration.
While activists are riling up anger against Airbnb, Lawyers for Justice Ireland (LFJI) insists that there is a more sinister reason underlying the ongoing Irish housing crisis, one that the leftist government deliberately fueled: mass migration. In recent years, major demonstrations against illegal immigration and its deleterious effect on Ireland have highlighted the growing anger over the government’s insistence on moving in hordes of foreigners, many of them Muslims, who have no interest in assimilating.
The reason for the housing crisis in Ireland is mass immigration. Scapegoating Airbnb is simply a strategy by the left to distract the Irish population away from the fact that the housing crisis has been manufactured by the State through implementing mass immigration into our… pic.twitter.com/SlmAXccCey
