Keir Starmer: Fanning the Flames

The political class who have been waving the matches of identity politics around the petrol can of mass immigration are now ‘shocked’ that it’s suddenly burst into flames!

No one knows quite how they will react when absolute power is thrust upon them. For Keir Starmer that test arrived earlier than it does for most Prime Ministers. It is exactly a month since the Labour leader became First Lord of the Treasury, but it feels considerably longer. From the steps of Downing Street, he triumphantly assured the nation he would lead a “government of service”; what we’re fast discovering however, is that the ‘service’ he had in mind was really our ‘service of government.’

What is Elon Musk’s game plan?

X can feel like two parallel universes at times.

There’s the version where the president of the United States chooses the platform to announce he won’t be running for re-election. That’s the one where the worldwide authority on a particular subject uses X to offer their expert take on unfolding events.

And then there’s the version where false claims, hate and conspiracy theories, including many posts relating to the recent riots and protests across the UK, are recommended to millions who have made absolutely no attempt to seek them out.

At the centre of it all is X’s owner Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest people. But this isn’t just a story about the monetisation strategy and algorithms employed by X under his tenure and how they are boosting divisive content.


Someone is very afraid they have lost control of the narrative.

Federal government announces crackdown on temporary foreign worker program misuse

Canadian Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault announced Tuesday that the government is cracking down on Canada’s temporary foreign worker program in a bid to curb fraud.

The temporary foreign worker (TFW) program has ballooned over the years, with much higher use by non-agricultural sectors, such as fast food restaurants and health care providers. With the increased use, there have been mounting allegations that the program is being misused by some employers.

FORSETH: Too many, too soon… half the country calls for immigration slow down

Canadians are divided over record-high immigration numbers. Despite growing community resentment, the NDP-Liberal government plans to admit 485,000 in 2024, 500,000 in 2025, and then stabilize at the 500,000 level. This policy is irresponsible.

The community experience is that these levels must be lowered to achieve social integration, job market balance, and reasonable housing. Historically, 250,000 immigrants and 20,000 refugees worked and this was supported by Canadians.

Kill a fallacy to save immigration

… Above all, it’s time to discard the misguided notion that the purpose of immigration is to fill labour shortages and build a bigger work force. That idea has been promoted by Canada’s business associations and adopted by the Liberal government.

More immigration doesn’t necessarily reduce labour shortages. A bigger labour force won’t necessarily make Canada richer. But a better labour force will.

Canada is run by greedy stupid people. It is entirely possible that the continued mass import of incompatible cultures will result in our own UK style anti-immigration riots.

After Southport: the rage against the throng

Fear and loathing of the white working class is palpable in the elite’s response to the unrest.

Something extraordinary happened in the UK this week: the murder of three working-class girls was turned into a moral panic about working-class communities. Ruthlessly, with something approaching relish, the media elites dragged the public gaze from the frenzied stabbing of girls in a seaside town to the supposed frothing bigotries of the seaside town itself. In elite circles, angst over the evil visited on the children of Southport gave way to a foreboding over what lurks within Southport. In those terraced houses, with their white working-class inhabitants, so susceptible to online lies, so given to racial animus. These people want us to fear not the wicked individuals who terrorise our towns, but the towns themselves.

GOLDSTEIN: High immigration policy undermining housing, healthcare and climate goals

It’s hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

Half of Americans call volume of immigrants a ‘critical threat,’ poll finds

Americans’ concerns about immigration have risen sharply this year, with half of Americans saying that the large number of immigrants and refugees entering the country is a “critical threat” to U.S. interests, up from 42 percent last fall to the highest level since 2010, according to a poll by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

The poll found that most Americans support two proposals laid out by former president Donald Trump: using U.S. troops to stop immigrants from coming into the United States from Mexico and expanding a wall on that border.

More measures coming to reduce temporary residents, says liar who lied about reducing numbers of foreign students

Canada’s government is preparing to unveil a suite of measures to clamp down on temporary immigration and has no plans to follow through right now on a broad program offering status to undocumented residents, the country’s immigration minister told Reuters.

“The era of uncapped programs to come into this country is quickly coming to an end. This is a big shift. You can’t just slam on the brakes and expect it to stop immediately,” Marc Miller said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday.

Fears far-Right riots could erupt in a dozen cities tonight

A further wave of far-Right disruption is expected across the UK following the killings of three young girls in Southport.

Violent extremists are planning to descend on more than a dozen cities and towns in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, according to reports.

*Hope not Hate, the anti-racism charity, has warned demonstrations are being planned for London, Aldershot, Sunderland, Hull, Liverpool, Cardiff and Manchester.


*Hope Not Hate” is the Brit equivalent of the SPLC or CAHN,  far left smear groups that support Antifa.

Quixotic Trudeau finally getting pushback over asylum-seeker chaos

Reality is teaching some important lessons to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about flirting with the ideal of virtually open borders. So are Canada’s premiers and the public.

Particularly in regard to asylum seekers.

For months B.C. Premier David Eby and Quebec Premier François Legault have been almost frantically trying to send a message to Trudeau and his childhood friend, Immigration Minister Marc Miller, that they should no longer indulge in their romantic rhetoric of the past.

Jamie Sarkonak: Even banks are saying immigration is putting the squeeze on gen Z

It’s been about a year since Immigration Minister Marc Miller took up his post at Canada’s gates with promises to bring the flow of newcomers down to manageable levels, and the situation has only gotten worse.

In 2023 alone, 1.3 million people came to the country, growing the population by 3.2 per cent — that’s more than three times as seen in the United States. It’s a rate that would have been hard to fathom years ago: temporary foreign workers are up sevenfold since 2000, as is the international student population. Once on a gentle rise, the numbers took off in 2015, and became especially steep after the COVID pandemic.
