Andrew Griffith: The stakeholders who cheered on the Liberals’ devastating immigration expansion

In October 2024, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau announced an about-face on mass immigration, admitting: “We didn’t get the balance quite right.”

Trudeau’s mea culpa ranks among the starkest understatements in recent political memory: record-breaking immigration levels contributed to a severe housing shortage, strained public services to the breaking point, suppressed wage growth and, in the process, shattered Canada’s once-stable pro-immigration consensus.


Never believe academics, the corporate class or politicians when it comes to immigration.

Immigration could soon account for all of Canada’s population growth: expert

OTTAWA — With Canada’s population growth now essentially flat, the country could be heading toward an unprecedented situation where population growth is driven entirely by immigration, one expert says.

Based on the federal government’s latest Immigration Levels Plan, the parliamentary budget officer projects 2026 will be Canada’s second consecutive year of zero population growth.


They’re selling the same BS in order to justify Canada being converted into a 3rd World Dumpster.

We need migrants to create housing demand or else no one will build new inventory and the economy will stagnate and rents will go up!

What they really want is imported tribal vote blocs, depressed wages and the protection of their real estate equity not to mention the opportunity to profit from the shortages mass immigration creates.

The Roller Coaster of Provincial-Federal Jockeying Over Immigration Powers

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s promise to hold a referendum that will give her province a chance to demand greater control over immigration is the latest episode in the long-standing, ever-evolving drama between the provinces and Ottawa over immigration jurisdiction.

The October referendum will ask nine questions, including four on constitutional issues. But the major spark igniting a firestorm of debate across Canada is the five immigration questions.

GOLDSTEIN: Criticizing flawed immigration and refugee policies is not racism

When Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government dismisses legitimate criticism of Canada’s immigration and refugee policies as racism, it is essentially calling most Canadians racist.

This is nothing new for the Liberals.

It was the same tactic the Justin Trudeau government employed.

Canadians unmoved by employer labour shortage claims tied to foreign worker program

Canadians are showing little sympathy for employers who claim they cannot find workers and must turn to foreign labour, according to new federal research that suggests public sentiment on immigration is hardening.

A 2025 annual tracking study commissioned by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada found focus group participants were largely unconvinced by arguments that lowering immigration levels would hurt businesses dependent on migrant workers.

MORGAN: Incompetent civil service bureaucrats bear some responsibility for the immigration crisis

From crumbling healthcare to the housing crisis, Canada’s refusal to control its borders is a recipe for social collapse and the bureaucracy is to blame.

Mass immigration is threatening the social and economic well-being of the entire Western world. One needs only to look at the catastrophes in Europe, as decades of unchecked immigration have led to entire sections of cities becoming unhabitable to locally born citizens, while race riots and demonstrations choke cities regularly. Integration has become nearly impossible as migrants cluster into introverted communities of their own and refuse to adapt to cultural norms within the democracies they entered.

Rupert Lowe’s Powellite revolution: He risks splitting the Right

Rupert Lowe deals in the politics of return: illegal immigrants are going back, and so is Britain. The Great Yarmouth MP, formerly of Reform UK, has now launched Restore Britain as a new political party, and on Wednesday evening claimed that it had passed 70,000 members. The launch announcement was marked with a stirring video of Lowe in his farmer’s get-up, as well as a series of semi-ironic nationalist compilations presumably made by Restore’s Zoomer footsoldiers. In one of these, among nostalgic nods to Geoff Hurst and Zulu, 1997 is invoked as the year when everything started to go wrong. Speaking over grainy images of a lost Britain, Lowe sums up his political outlook: “I think the state is bad, and I think the individual is good.”

One area where the state has undoubtedly failed, in Lowe’s eyes, is on the matter of immigration. While Reform has pledged to deport all illegal immigrants, Restore wants to go further. Lowe has promised to scrap the asylum system entirely, also stating last week that “legal immigration will almost come to a complete halt.” The goal is not just to halt migrant influxes but to reverse them. “Net zero immigration is weak, weak, weak. It is insufficient and it is too late,” he said in the speech with which he launched the party. “The barbarians are already in the gates.”


I prefer both his trustworthiness and his policy to Farage.

End ‘Visa King’ and immigration consultants — Canadian immigration is not a Cracker Jack box prize

Somewhere in Brampton, a man who calls himself the “Canadian Visa King” sits behind a desk with immigration paperwork, flashing a wristwatch worth more than most Canadians earn in five years. The watch, a Richard Mille replica or, if a genuine watch costs about $300,000, tells you everything you need to know about what Canada’s immigration system has become.

A gold mine for those who know how to work the system.

Warning raised as youth unemployment threatens students’ lifetime earnings

Canada’s top budget watchdog is sounding the alarm over soaring youth unemployment, warning that postsecondary students shut out of early work experience risk lower lifetime earnings and weaker attachment to the labour force.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Interim Parliamentary Budget Officer Jason Jacques told the Senate national finance committee that failing to land a first job — especially one tied to a student’s field of study — can have lasting economic consequences.

OLDCORN: Immigration is out of control and Canadians know it

Canadians are not “turning on newcomers.” Canadians are turning on a system that has stopped making sense.

A national survey released on January 29 by Research Co. found only 34% of Canadians now say immigration is having a mostly positive effect on the country.

Nearly half, 48%, say the impact is mostly negative. That’s not a minor tremor. It’s a hard swing in public mood, and it has been moving fast.

Carney’s choice: Ice out illegal migrants, or treat them like the assets they are

It’s not just on the streets of Minneapolis: If you live in a Canadian city, you are surrounded by undocumented migrants trying to avoid the authorities. They are hidden in plain sight: at work on virtually any construction site or renovation job in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal; in hospitals and elder-care facilities; in restaurant kitchens; and quite possibly in your house, cleaning and taking care of your kids.


The Globe and Mail whoring for the LPC and its Corporate pals.

Mass immigration aka Human Trafficking is good for them. They don’t give a damn about the damage its caused you and your family.

If we ever get a Trump the first thing to do is end media subsidies.
