Slim majority of Canadians found reduced immigration levels still too high: government polling

OTTAWA — Shortly after cutting immigration levels, the federal immigration department heard through government-funded polling that a slight majority of Canadians still found this year’s number too high.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada commissioned the survey as part of its annual tracking of public sentiment towards immigration and reported it publicly as part of the government’s disclosures on its public opinion research.


A slim majority? It’s been found that the Liberal Party’s much touted intake reductions don’t amount to a hill of beans yet I feel certain these fudged numbers were presented as fact to poll respondents.

I don’t trust government anything but least of all opinion polling on Mass Immigration a policy for profit scam Carney and his Crony’s will exploit for personal gain.

Canada’s population growth at 0.0% so far this year: StatsCan

You can bet StatsCan did not include all those newly classified as illegal. The ones who are expected to leave voluntarily once their status as students etc… ends. Every year sees a new cohort.

Geoff Russ: The last thing Canada needs is a lecture from pro-immigration ideologues … like Carney crony Mark Wiseman’s crew at Century Initiative

The Century Initiative has nothing to offer Canada apart from hubris, desperation and bad ideas. As the G7 Summit concludes in Alberta, a province that is key to unlocking true Canadian prosperity and dynamism, Canada cannot afford to listen to those who helped push the country into stagnation.

Last week, Century Initiative CEO Lisa Lalande penned an op-ed in the Toronto Star that not only attacked the federal government’s immigration cuts but also natural resources as a tool of economic growth.


Carney hired his pal Mark Wiseman as an advisor. He is a founder of the nation destroying Century Initiative determined to turn Canada into a 3rd world shithole.

Mass immigration is nothing more than an exploitive policy for profit scam by our elites and you and I are merely collateral damage.

I wonder where in the world Wiseman and Carney will choose to live after they succeed in turning Canada into an ungovernable dumpster fire.

‘Invisible poor’: Middle-income households making up to $125K annually getting squeezed out of the GTHA

The working middle class in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area – a group that includes teachers, nurses and other essential workers – have become “the invisible poor” and could soon be squeezed out of the region due to the ongoing housing crisis, a new report suggests.

On Tuesday, CivicAction published the first instalment of a four-part research series delving into the challenges middle-income workers in the GTHA face.

The authors of the report defined middle class workers as those making anywhere between $40,000 and $125,000 annually, based on data from Statistics Canada.

Mass immigration is policy for profit from which only our elites stand to gain.

Your impoverishment is part of the plan.

Canada’s giant immigration industry will have to get used to ‘intense’ public debate

Douglas Todd: Worries about media coverage are emerging from the thousands of lawyers, agents and others in Canada paid to smooth the way each year for millions of migrants.

When I was asked to address members of the immigration division of the Canadian Bar Association, I expected an audience of maybe 25 to 50 lawyers.

But last Saturday, 400 immigration lawyers showed up at the Victoria Convention Centre to hear what three Canadian journalists and a think-tank member had to say about the media’s impact on migration.

The panel was asked to address immigration lawyers’ fears that heightened media coverage is “sparking intense public debate” and influencing “how immigrants are perceived and how decisions are made.”


Feck the weasel Lawyers.

We need a Trump to shut Carney’s Immigration scam down before Canada is lost for good.

I will settle for annexation rather than see Canada turned into a 3rd World Dumpster.

Protesters march through downtown Toronto to call out corporate landlords

Won’t someone think of the cockroaches?

A group of Toronto advocates marched alongside a giant fake cockroach during a protest Saturday as they called on the city to provide more affordable housing and spoke out against corporate landlord practices.

Several people held large cockroach props with speech bubbles containing the names of some major corporate landlords in the city as they marched toward those companies’ offices in the Financial District.


I empathize with the tenants but they will find no succor under a the combined Carney-Chow regimes.

The LPC’s Mass-immigration policy for profit scam has exhausted affordable housing and will continue unabated while the communist Chow will assist in maintaining the housing shortage to stay in power. Manufacturing poverty is her business because it’s her vote bloc.

‘Already Past The Tipping Point‘: Academic Sounds ‘Civil War‘ Warning

A London academic has appealed to policymakers and military leaders to consider taking remedial action to minimise the impact of civil wars, which he warns have become a distinct possibility in Western nations.

Professor of War in the Modern World, David Betz of King’s College London, has claimed that many European countries now exhibit signs of being in a pre-civil war state. According to his research, there is a statistically significant chance of a war breaking out in the next five years in a Western state, and given Europe’s interconnected nature, it could spark similar conflicts in neighbouring nations.

Criminal Home Builders Who Flout Canadian Law Need More Illegal Alien Labour To Fix Housing Crisis Caused By Mass Immigration Says Star

Canada is making it harder for immigrants to help build much-needed homes — despite the construction industry’s growing reliance on them

Arjan has wired electricity for some of the GTA’s biggest construction projects, including condo towers and office buildings, doing work that lights up homes across the city while he remains in the shadows as an undocumented worker.

Despite more than a decade in Canada, a diploma in electrical engineering from Sheridan College and years of experience in a sector facing severe labour shortages, he has no status.

The no longer licensed electrician came to Canada in 2014 as an international student and worked legally for a construction company for several years.


The industry figures quoted display a real fondness for cheap foreign labour.

Record flood of investors behind Canada’s housing crisis

Douglas Todd: Canada’s distorted housing market calls for more than ‘cranes on the skyline,’ given that investors now own one in three homes. There are other ways.

This week three of four Canadians declared they have no confidence in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ideas for solving the country’s housing affordability crisis.

Like most premiers and mayors, Carney is promising to “build, baby, build” to stimulate a record amount of housing construction. But Angus Reid Institute polling suggests the public is more than skeptical, perhaps in despair.

While voters understandably get lost in the complexities of solving a house-price catastrophe that sees average prices at a ridiculous $1.2 million in Greater Vancouver and $1.1 million in Toronto, at least one veteran housing analyst is making a clear and devastating case that Canada’s dilemma is being significantly fanned by a wave of investors.

Terry Glavin: We’re not Los Angeles yet, but it might be coming

Despite Carney’s vow to scale back immigration, the numbers keep going up — not counting those living here illegally

After several days of riots and rabble-rousing in response to the Trump administration’s ham-fisted determination to round up illegal immigrants, downtown Los Angeles was placed under curfew on Tuesday. The disorder has spread to more than a dozen American cities. There have been scores of arrests.

It has all made for great television and amusing political theatre, with Democrats shouting righteously about the rule of law and due process while ignoring their own support for “sanctuary” laws that undermine their own government’s capacity to enforce federal immigration legislation. Not to be outdone, Donald Trump’s Republicans have invoked the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to back their plans for mass deportations. The 1798 law was about pirates.

About Time … Poilievre calls for ‘severe limits’ on Canadian population growth

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the Canadian population has grown out of control and is calling on the Liberal government to further reduce immigration.

“We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system,” Poilievre said during a press conference Tuesday in the foyer of the House of Commons.

“The population has been growing out of control, our border has been left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and much worse.”

Why didn’t he say so before?

Anti-migrant riots erupt in Northern Ireland after alleged sexual assault

Fifteen police officers were injured and four houses set alight in anti-migrant riots after two teenagers, thought to be Romanian, were charged with the sexual assault of a girl in Northern Ireland.

Two 14-year-old boys appeared at a local court by video link on Monday, charged with attempted rape. The charges were read to them by a Romanian interpreter.

Violence erupted in Ballymena, County Antrim, on Monday night after a peaceful vigil by hundreds of people had been held in the town centre.

No, opposing mass migration doesn’t make you a terrorist

According to Prevent, the British government’s counter-extremism programme, expressing concern about high levels of immigration is to be treated as a mark of terrorist ideology.

The terrorist ideology in question is defined by government documents as ‘cultural nationalism’. This, apparently, is the belief that ‘Western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups’. In other words, if you express worries about the social and cultural impact on Britain of a huge influx of people from around the world, you could find yourself being referred to the government’s deradicalisation scheme.

‘Immigration is supposed to be a benefit… what’s happening here is making life worse for many Canadians.’

Canada is undergoing one of the most far-reaching demographic experiments in the Western world. In 2023 we admitted 1.25 million newcomers — a historic high — pushing our population past 40 million. Immigration now accounts for 98 percent of national population growth, driven by deliberate Liberal policy under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Despite growing public concern, the much-touted “cutbacks” Trudeau announced just before his departure in January set a target of 395,000 new permanent residents for 2025 — plus an astounding 673,000 temporary foreign workers, seasonal workers and international students. Pledges to “stabilize” population growth have done almost nothing, widening the gap between policy and public sentiment.

Canada’s unemployment rate could reach 7.5% as Liberal Gov’t & Corporate Canada continue to massively abuse immigration

Canada’s unemployment rate could hit 7.5 per cent as more newcomers are admitted to the country than expected after the government made massive cuts last year to its immigrant targets, says a new report.

“Visa approvals for temporary residents have picked up, which suggests that, rather than contracting as the government previously outlined, the population will continue to grow this year,” Harry Chambers, an assistant economist at Capital Economics Ltd., said in a note. “This will keep upward pressure on labour force growth and we now expect the unemployment rate to peak at 7.5 per cent, rather than seven per cent.”

Citizenship by descent legislation: Liberal Party dreams up new way to cheapen Canadian citizenship & swamp the country with incompatible cultures

The federal government has tabled a new bill that would allow Canadians born abroad to pass citizenship by descent to children born overseas via a test to prove family ties to the country.

Bill C-3 is meant to satisfy a court order that has ruled the current two-generation cut-off provisions of the Citizenship Act is unconstitutional because it limits the automatic passage of citizenship to the first generation of Canadians who were born outside Canada.

“Citizenship is more than a legal status — it’s a profound connection to the values, history and spirit of Canada,” Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab said in statement on Thursday.
