The Trudeau government has a cure for your housing depression

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fall economic statement acknowledges that the biggest worry keeping Canadians up at night – and, ahem, the biggest obstacle to Liberal re-election – is housing.

Introducing the mini budget, she said that Canada was always “a place where if you worked hard … there would be a home that you could afford. For generations, that promise was kept.”

But “for a generation that ranges from new high school graduates to couples in their thirties making six-figure salaries, it is a promise that is under threat.”

Surge of Drug Smugglers and Illegal Immigrants Cross the US-Canada Border

WASHINGTON—Republican legislators announced on Feb. 28 at the House Triangle a new caucus to raise awareness about the spike of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers coming across the U.S.-Canada border.

Northern border apprehensions have surged by 1,498 percent since President Joe Biden took office, the lawmakers said. Except for marijuana, drug smuggling along the border between the United States and Canada has increased by 596 percent since FY 2021. The number of CBP agents, instead, has remained the same since FY 2009.

Ontario Food Banks Grapple With Surge in International Student Visits; Some Cite Misuse

As the need for food banks skyrockets across Canada, several in Ontario are reporting an increase in international students seeking help, with some appearing to be exploiting the services or unaware of how they work. Two Ontario food banks have even decided to close their doors to international students.

“Due to the increased visitation to the food bank in the last couple of years, we helped students in September but noticed that there was tremendous abuse and manipulation of our services. We have now stopped the practice of serving them so we can concentrate on our regular clients and refugees,” the head of a food bank in Oshawa told The Epoch Times.

Why are our schools addicted to foreign student tuition? Because government was the pusher

If you want to understand why the number of visa students at Canada’s universities and colleges – particularly in Ontario, and particularly at colleges – has risen so sharply in recent years, follow the money.

One trail leads to an unexpected place: my car.

In the spring of 2022, Ontario sent me a cheque for $440. The Ford government had just made it free to renew your vehicle registration – it used to cost $120 a year – and the move was retroactive to 2020. I had paid my fees in advance to the end of 2023, so I was refunded back to the start of the decade.

McGill students vote in favour of pro-Palestinian policy

Despite the university warning it could cut ties with its student union over the issue, McGill students have voted in favour of adopting a contentious pro-Palestinian policy.

In a vote that ended Monday, 78 per cent of students who participated voted in favour of the policy, titled Policy Against Genocide in Palestine.

Our elites have done a thorough job destroying Canada.

I don’t care for the Canada of atrocity fetishists marching in our streets.

The mass reveal across the west of Hamas supporters is the result of the numbers game we warned about these many years.

That smug little bubble inhabited by the open borders kumbaya crowd is burst.

It was inevitable once a sufficient number of foot soldiers were in place.

Does the will exist to upend the schemes of the 5th columnists in academia and the political, media and corporate classes?

Is there anything left to put back together again?

Do you trust any of our DEI/CRT infested public institutions?

Our mass immigration loving business class and their political minions have proven themselves an enemy determined to impoverish us.

Canada has been tribalized and its people weakened by the lies of multiculturalism and diversity.

Are there enough of us left to make a difference?

Canada launches new humanitarian migration pathway for Colombians, Haitians and Venezuelans

Amid the ongoing refugee crisis in the Americas, the federal government has announced the launch of a new humanitarian pathway for 11,000 Colombians, Haitians and Venezuelans to find residency in Canada.

Marc Miller – Got the job because he’ll say anything.

Marc Miller, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, announced that this humanitarian pathway, which is now open for applications, will provide “permanent residence to Colombian, Haitian and Venezuelan foreign nationals.”

“We are determined to uphold our humanitarian tradition and support those in need,” Miller said in a press release.

I hear people from South America are very good Igloo makers.

These international students had to skip meals to survive in Canada. Food banks helped save them

By every formal requirement, Carlos Arturo Paez Gonzalez had all the financial security he needed to study in Canada.

But when he was down to one meal a day, he says, it was the campus food bank that kept him afloat.

The University of Toronto international student works three jobs, nearly 40 hours of work a week, on top of his classes, to make ends meet.

Greed is why they’re here.

This is the “Why” of Mass Immigration: How some of Ontario’s most recognizable companies have become embroiled in alleged labour exploitation scheme

Even in the Holland Marsh, a verdant stretch of land known as Canada’s “salad bowl,” Gwillimdale Farms stands out.

It’s a sprawling 2,000-acre operation, able to pack 350,000 pounds of potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables in a single day. The farm has served as the backdrop for political announcements by Premier Doug Ford, and last spring benefitted from a provincial grant to create “safer workplaces” and “address labour shortages.”

Around the same time, the farm was sourcing workers through middlemen now accused of labour trafficking, according to search warrant materials and court documents obtained by the Star.

This is 3rd World Shit made possible by the UNIPARTY at the behest of their corporate masters.

This is the “Why” of Mass Immigration.

Advocates claim immigration minister ‘downplayed’ migrant worker abuse

Several agencies calling on Ottawa to provide open work permits for all migrant workers accuse Canada’s immigration minister of dismissing claims of abuse against the vulnerable population.

Legal Assistance of Windsor, Migrante Alberta, and the Association for the Rights of Household and Farm Workers said Marc Miller has “downplayed and completely dismissed the systemic nature of the unjust treatment of migrant workers.”

Colby Cosh: Sweden dispenses with the Canada model of immigration

Apologies for writing yet another “Look what’s happening in ultra-liberal, super-tolerant (Nordic country)” column, but there is turmoil in ultra-liberal, super-tolerant Sweden right now that’s worth noticing in Canada. About a year ago, Sweden elected a right-wing government that campaigned on altering the country’s gapingly open immigration policy, which in the past has been partly inspired by the Canadian model.

Diane Francis: Trudeau’s open immigration policies are becoming a problem for Americans

The foolish immigration policies of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and their NDP backers have burdened Canada’s health-care system, inflated housing costs and are now starting to annoy Washington.

America’s immigration problems at its southern border are nightmarish by comparison, but some members of Congress have also voiced concerns that their northern border with Canada has become a backdoor entry into the United States for increasing numbers of illegal migrants and drugs.

Britain: Land of Anarchy and Tyranny

If you invite the world, you inherit the world’s conflicts.

British streets have been the stage for the latest war in the Middle East between Israel and those who yearn for its destruction. The day after the Hamas pogrom saw a large demonstration outside the Israeli embassy, before any retaliation by Israel for the slaughter of 1,400 of its citizens. This was not protest, but a celebration of the atrocity. Then, for five Saturdays in a row, we have seen increasingly large marches through the centre of London, numbering 100,000 or more each time. These were supposedly pro-Palestine, but in reality, they were anti-Israel. Each march has seen widespread antisemitism, terror sympathising, and increasingly violent behaviour. The march to Trafalgar Square on 4 November ended in violence against the police.

No prime minister ever gives up political power unless confronted with an ‘inevitable defeat,’ says top Liberal player David Herle

With poll after poll suggesting the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by double-digit margins, pressure is ratcheting up on Justin Trudeau to reconsider his plans to lead the party in the next election, say some former senior Liberals, but others say time is on Trudeau’s side and there’s a pathway for the prime minister to get out of this slump in the coming months.

I don’t see how anyone can believe the economy will be back on track when Trudeau’s immigration plan will exasperate the affordability issue and further the decline in Canada’s standard of living. Not to mention his Net Zero madness.

Chicago is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing BACK to Venezuela after being dumped there

Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs.

Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State’s Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as ‘sanctuary cities.’ They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants.

Now, Illinois’ harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

David Rosenberg: Canada can’t count to a million — and it’s skewing the data policymakers need

A thoughtful approach to immigration has been a historical strength of Canadian economic policy. The recent post-COVID-19 immigration surge has created a number of well-known challenges, however, as slow-moving housing markets and social services systems adjust to the sudden rise in the country’s population.

But another, seemingly more basic, problem has arisen for policymakers and analysts alike: Canada’s population has become increasingly difficult to count, and the balance of evidence points toward an undercount of one million temporary residents in the country’s main employment survey. This has eroded the reliability of a host of market-relevant variables involving population counts, from employment figures to housing construction to productivity.
