“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

Can we talk about immigration?

The Trudeau Liberals have begun to find words to describe how they broke Canada’s immigration system, which was once a model for the world. But they have yet to start fixing what they broke. Instead, the breaking continues. At breakneck speed.

Statistics Canada’s quarterly estimate of the country’s non-permanent population shows it rose to 2½ million this fall, from 1.7 million a year earlier. At this rate, the number of temporary residents could grow to around four million by the end of next year – roughly 10 per cent of the Canadian population.

This is unprecedented. In 2000, Canada had 227,000 temporary residents.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning.

Metro Vancouver mayor blasts federal government for immigration policy

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is speaking out on the latest population growth numbers in B.C. and across the country.

“My message to the federal government is they’ve got to come back to reality,” said West.

B.C. has seen a record-setting net international migration of more than 150,000 people so far in 2023. It’s part of a larger national trend(opens in a new tab), with Canada surpassing the 40 million population mark.

“The number is overwhelming,” West told CTV News. “You cannot build enough to keep up with the number of people who are seeking housing.”

Broadcast Journalists Watch in Horror As Texas Protects Its Border

Broadcast networks are still angry about a bill signed into law Tuesday by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, which empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

This is the second round of whining we’ve seen in response to this law; the first bout came when the Texas legislature passed the bill several weeks ago. At that time, the common refrain from talking heads was that the bill necessarily would lead to “racial profiling” and “discrimination.”

Feds, local officials issue health alerts over communicable diseases tied to migrant crisis

Federal, state and city health departments have issued public health alerts about increases of communicable diseases as illegal border crossers arrive in their communities.

Earlier this year, the New York City Health Commissioner instructed New York health-care providers to undergo several precautions and tests in light of “an alarming trend” of diseases spreading among illegal foreign nationals in New York City who arrived from the southern border. Dr. Ashwin Vasan expressed alarm about those arriving who hadn’t been vaccinated for polio or chickenpox and were coming from countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis.

‘Excessive’ Immigration Is Putting Pressure on Inflation: Scotiabank Economist

Canada’s rapid population growth is putting pressure on inflation and further interest rate hikes are a distinct possibility despite predictions saying otherwise, according to a Scotiabank economist.

Derek Holt, vice-president and head of capital markets economics at Scotiabank, remarked in a Dec. 19 note evaluating the latest inflation data that “Canada’s torrid rate of population growth is adding to inflationary pressures.”

Federal government to give Toronto $471 million in new housing cash – and it won’t make even a tiny dent in what’s needed

Toronto will be given nearly half a billion dollars over the next four years to speed up new housing development, with a formal announcement to take place on Thursday, two sources with knowledge of the deal say.

The money — $471 million, beginning with an immediate payout of $117.75 million with further annual payments made based on the city’s progress toward housing goals, according to one source — comes out of the feds’ four-billion Housing Accelerator Fund pool, announced in March and to be divided between local governments and Indigenous communities who can satisfy national officials about their progress on housing and density.

Everything the Liberals are trying to sell is a lie. Until the Mass Immigration spigot is turned off Canada will never have enough homes.

Canada’s Immigration Plan Is Not Viable In Any Version of Reality: BMO

Canada printed yet another massive, immigration-driven quarter of population growth. What housing crisis, the country just needs to build homes faster, right? BMO Capital Markets crunched the numbers to show just how comically distorted and unviable growth has become. It’s starting to become clear the plan isn’t to diversify the country, but stimulate home prices and validate a real estate bubble.

… Kavcic puts the current plan into perspective to show the type of scale required. “For additional context, at 2.5 people per household, we’d need more than 170k new units every three months at this rate of population growth, even before accounting for domestic household formation,” he explains.

The industry is currently pushed to the max trying to churn out 220k homes per year. That’s a significantly higher number than previous years, but still roughly a quarter of the amount that would be needed to accommodate the supply-side plan.

Rex Murphy: An antisemitic menace stalks Canada and Trudeau couldn’t care less

It is very hard, indeed it may be impossible, to disagree with the flood of online remarks asserting that the treatment of the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests differ rather troublingly from the treatment meted out to Canadian truckers.

I’m not aware that Tamara Lich at any point during the trucker’s sojourn in Ottawa, in full voice, and in direct proximity to police officers, gave vent to “I’ll kill you … I’ll put you six feet deep” to either a policeman or to a passerby. During the weeks of the Freedom Convoy protest, as far as I know, and equally as far as the authorities are aware, at no point did she express murderous intent, make explicit death threats, or act with grand insouciance while doing so in the presence of numerous police.

Have A Jolly Corporate Crony Christmas! Canadian Job Vacancies Are Falling Sharply As Excess Labor Rises

Canada’s once tight labor market, a key driver of wages and shelter costs, is loosening. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data reveals job vacancies declined further in Q3 2023. The drop is a double-edged sword: roles being filled is good news, but job creation is failing to keep up with population growth. Canada is adding roughly 2 workers for every job filled, which will quickly transition a tight labor market to one with excess labor in a short period. Expect unemployment to rise and wage growth to fall if this trend persists.

Ottawa’s delayed strategy on foreign students

Foreign students didn’t create the country’s current housing shortage. Blame should also not fall on the shoulders of temporary foreign workers, refugee claimants or new immigrants to this country.

Blame rightly falls to governments that failed to see the flashing warning signs of a housing shortage for years and a federal government that has put out the welcome mat to new arrivals and essentially had them sleep on the floor.

The foreign student scam was just another way to gain Canadian citizenship.

Feds Say Immigrants Needed to Build Homes, but Only 1.6 Percent Have the Skills

Only 1.6 percent of newcomers to Canada in 2022 were accepted based on having skills to work in construction, federal data indicates, as the Liberal government defends its immigration levels citing the need for new trade workers to build homes.

Immigration Canada provided the data on Dec. 6 in response to an order paper from Conservative MP Pat Kelly.

Canada must stem the surge in temporary foreign workers and international students

Recent years have seen an unprecedented increase in Canada’s non-permanent resident population, far surpassing increases in annual admissions of new permanent residents. The unbalanced growth in Canada’s temporary and permanent migration inflows will inevitably result in a growing undocumented population and forced deportations. Both developments risk inflaming Canada’s immigration politics and undermining public confidence in the immigration system.

It is imperative that the government take immediate steps to stem the continuing growth in foreign student and temporary foreign worker entries.

Douglas Todd: Canadian taboo against debating migration policy is basically over

Seven years ago, Simon Fraser University political scientist Sanjay Jeram perceptively said that Canada was one of the last countries in the world where it is not permitted to discuss migration policy.

“The hidden consensus in Canada is that we don’t talk critically about immigration. The taboo against discussing it is very real,” said Jeram, who has a PhD from the University of Toronto, the city in which he was born and raised.

Immigration Minister planning ‘broad’ program to create citizenship path for illegal alien invaders

Ottawa is preparing to create a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people who have lived and worked in Canada illegally for years, starting with construction workers, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says.

In an interview, Mr. Miller said he is preparing to create a “broad and comprehensive program” that would allow many without valid documents to apply for permanent residency. Among those included would be people who entered the country legally, as temporary workers or international students, and then remained here after their visas expired.
