How can we feel as if we’re all in it together when we plainly aren’t?
There are many reasons to feel pessimistic about Britain under Keir Starmer. A stagnating economy. An ageing society which talented young people want to leave. Large numbers of people invading the country illegally via small boats: and the government hiring yet more hotels to accommodate them.
But maybe the most concerning thing of all is the fraying of any sense of national identity.
Canada to grant legal status for thousands of undocumented construction workers
Up to 6,000 undocumented construction workers will be given a pathway to gain legal status in Canada, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said in a news conference Friday.
“These undocumented migrants are already living and working in Canada, and are contributing to the sector,” Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said in a statement.
“This pathway will keep them here legally so that they can continue to build the homes our economy and communities need with the proper protections.”
Tell the truth water boys. You mean the criminal Liberal government will grant legal status to illegal aliens hired by unscrupulous construction companies in order to depress wages. https://t.co/d7dY558uch

Canada’s history is one written largely by its industrious immigrants. Having said that, in this past decade, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned this national strength into a chaotic social upheaval. There is no other way to describe the fact that the Liberals have implemented an immigration program that has purposely transformed the country’s ethnicity and its character. Canadians have yet to fully realize what has transpired. And still, the Liberals continue to permit plane loads of migrants to land at the Toronto and Montreal airports.
It is instructive to look back at the genesis of the Liberals immigration policy to understand exactly what has occurred to Canada’s population through the past decade. Accelerating the flow of people into Canada is an immigration strategy formalized in the Trudeau government’s early years. In 2016, the federal Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which was chaired by Dominic Barton (then-McKinsey & Co. global managing partner and later the Canadian ambassador to China), recommended that there be a 50 per cent increase in annual “permanent resident” immigration levels so that in five years (2021) the number would reach 450,000. Barton was also a co-author of a paper advising the government that the country’s population should be 100 million by 2100.
It was an evil act for which Trudeau and his Liberal party must pay.
The United Kingdom is at a civilizational inflection point. Thanks to a massive disconnect between multiculturalist elites and an indigenous citizenry whose outrage is boiling over, the UK has become a tinderbox over the issue of mass immigration and attendant issues such as skyrocketing knife crime and rapes, as well as freedom of speech threatened by the imminent adoption of Islamic blasphemy laws. And now a new poll reveals, albeit not surprisingly, that UK youth lack the patriotism to fight for their homeland.
Despite an October pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to drastically reduce immigration, the country’s population continues to grow at a high rate, a new report finds.
The Feb. 6 economic study from Desjardins titled ‘Is Canada’s Population Slowing According to Plan?’ finds that while international student admissions have decreased in the last four months, Ottawa is still allowing about the same amount of temporary foreign workers and permanent immigrants into the country.
The bottom line, the report authors say, is that the population growth isn’t about to change without “more aggressive reductions.”
To successfully fight Trump, Canada needs one thing: more Canadians
Time discovers truth.
In this case, it’s a brutal one.
The federal government’s decision to cut immigration targets by 21 per cent in 2025 and 24 per cent in 2026 was a grave mistake. Alarmingly, the consequences are rearing their ugly head at the worst possible time.
By reducing immigration levels, Canada is facing the economic fight of our lives with one arm tied behind our back. This is a moment when we should be projecting strength and growth — yet, instead, we have chosen to shrink. And unfortunately for us, this policy shift is occurring at the same time as another major demographic headwind: the retirement of five million Canadians by the end of the decade.

“What my parents taught me is that they used to live in peace and calm, without having to have any fear in their own country,” says 19-year-old Nick. “I would like to live in a country where I don’t have to be afraid.”
I meet him in a small bar on a street corner in the ex-mining town of Freiberg, Saxony – where he is playing darts.
It’s a cold, foggy night in February with just over two weeks to go until Germany’s national election.
Nick and his friend Dominic, who is 30, are backers or sympathetic to Alternative für Deutschland – a party that has been consistently polling second in Germany for more than a year and a half, as the far right here and elsewhere in Europe attracts an increasing number of young people, particularly men, into its orbit.
It’s not far right when it’s near majority status Mr. BBC commie.
Nearly 20,000 Indian students have failed to enrol at their designated colleges and universities after arriving in Canada. This has raised significant concerns about immigration fraud and the misuse of the student visa system.
A variety of factors play into this mystery. The first involves many Indian students being lured by fake colleges. And some have used their student visas to enter Canada and work rather than study. Some of those students seem to have been misled by unregulated agents promising easy access to jobs or permanent residency.
Church groups grew massively with government funding for the controversial immigrant and refugee programs that Trump is now cutting.
Vice President J. D. Vance has emerged as one of the Trump administration’s unwavering defenders on many issues. One of his most widely quoted retorts to critics occurred on the January 26 edition of CBS’s Face the Nation. Vance was responding to statements by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops condemning as “deeply troubling” the administration’s enforcement actions against illegal aliens and its pause of government-funded refugee-resettlement programs. As a Catholic, Vance said, the criticism left him “heartbroken.” Then he hit out at the church for its role in garnering hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts to serve immigrants over the last several years. “I think that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”
Today’s system prioritizes diversity and inclusion over merit and skill.
President Donald Trump has moved decisively to eradicate “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” initiatives in the federal government and private sector. His actions are a great step forward, but one area of federal policy has been spared his efforts so far—U.S. immigration policy remains infused with DEI principles. Trump has a historic opportunity to fix this problem and put America first.
The federal government’s dramatic immigration U-turn will mean an equally dramatic population growth U-turn. Though it will involve challenges, this course correction is likely to result in significant benefits for Canadians.
In October, the Trudeau government acknowledged growing opposition to high immigration and slashed the number of permanent residents to be admitted annually by 21 per cent — from a planned 500,000 in 2025, down to 395,000. The 2025–27 Immigration Levels Plan also, for the first time, includes formal caps on the numbers of international students and foreign workers — part of Ottawa’s effort to reduce temporary residents to five per cent of the population.
International study permit data an ‘earthquake’ for Canadian university finances
A dramatic decline in international study permits issued last year is quickly becoming an existential threat to the finances of Canadian postsecondary schools, say organizations representing the institutions.
“The drop in international students is like an earthquake hitting an education system that’s already structurally weakened by years of underinvestment,” said Gabriel Miller, president and CEO of Universities Canada.
Background, Foreign Student Scam Origin – Canada’s International Student Boom Was A $148M Government Campaign
Canada’s international student boom went from success to liability over just a few years. Policymakers that promoted the growth are now suddenly passing blame, presenting it as an overwhelming surprise. It turns out the growth was the intended outcome of a $148 million plan, including a new brand jointly owned and operated by the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Governments. Policymakers are now presenting new limits as a response to public outcry, coincidentally in the same year the strategy ended. What timing!
Yogi Berra famously quipped, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” In general, that’s true. Yet anyone familiar with the immigration debate can tell you how Democrats will react to any GOP attempt to pass or enforce laws aimed at controlling the border crisis. Who was surprised that majorities of congressional Democrats voted against the Laken Riley Act, or that blue state governors and mayors have vowed to resist the Trump administration’s effort to deport illegal aliens?
Canada’s international student boom changed Brampton forever. As the program scales back dramatically, a strained community tries to adapt
Several times a week, Sukhman Kaur takes two buses from her basement apartment in Brampton through Mississauga to get to Toronto, where she attends George Brown College.
The 22-year-old, who is studying culinary management, says when she moved to Canada from India in December 2023 as an international student, she already knew that despite studying in Toronto, she would likely end up living in Brampton.
“The main reason I live here is because rent is lower than Toronto, but also lots of our community members live here, too,” said Kaur, speaking from the site in Brampton where former international students were protesting federal policy changes that have left them at risk of deportation. After several months, the protest ended last week. “There are also lots of industrial areas, and more part-time jobs for us who need to work to manage our expenses.”
This says stay away from Canada’s urban centres.
