Another Trudeau Lie: A million more non-permanent residents live in Canada than official figures, ministers told

A leading economist warned federal ministers at their cabinet retreat last week that there are around one million more non-permanent residents living in Canada, including foreign students, than government estimates suggest.

The warning came in a briefing from Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC Capital Markets. He told the Liberal government gathering in Charlottetown that the undercounting in the official statistics means Canada is underestimating the number of new homes required to meet the country’s increasing housing needs.

Canadian universities don’t want a cap on international students. Here’s why

Amid talk of a cap on international students due to the housing crisis, Universities Canada says there’s no need for any such limit.

Canada currently has 800,000 student permit holders and several federal ministers have hinted that the number be capped in the future to ease housing demand.

They love the money foreign students bring, pays for all those fat salaries.

How to fix a broken foreign student visa system? Send it back to school

Marc Miller, the new federal immigration minister, gets it. Whether he plans to fix it; whether the Prime Minister’s Office is interested in fixing it; and whether the provinces will help all remain to be seen.

The “it” is Canada’s student visa program. Its defects and side effects have been getting a lot of attention, mostly in relation to housing prices. The fact that more than 800,000 visa students were in Canada last year, compared to fewer than 200,000 a decade and a half ago, is one of many contributors to a growing mismatch between housing demand and supply. It’s not discriminatory to point this out. It’s just math.

My bet is Miller will do nothing, ethnic vote blocs matter to the Liberals and they will not do anything to jeapordize votes.

Smuggler with ties to ISIS helped Uzbek migrants enter US from Mexico, raising alarm bells across government

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen Uzbek nationals allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials.

While the FBI says no specific ISIS plot has been identified, officials are still working to “identify and assess” all of the individuals who gained entry to the United States, according to a statement from National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson. And they are closely scrutinizing a number of the migrants as possible criminal threats, according to two US officials.

Trudeau says you should live in crappy boxes stacked high

Trudeau says ‘densification’ is key to fix housing crisis. Is it enough?

When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet went into a huddle at this year’s cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, it was clear that housing was top of mind. When Trudeau emerged from the retreat last week, he told reporters some of the measures Canada most needs.

Among those was the need for densification, a growing topic dominating conversations at the municipal, provincial and federal levels.

ChiCom infiltrators posing as students frustrated by lengthy security checks as school year nears

Some Chinese international students say their study permits have been tied up in security screenings, leaving them in the lurch for months after being admitted to Canadian universities.

Yunze Lu, a master’s student in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Ottawa, has already completed a year of coursework online and successfully applied to the school’s co-op program.

“I have a very simple and clear background. It’s OK to be checked, but I don’t think it needs to be checked for so long,” he said.

‘The pain is real.’ Why this segment of the GTA real estate market is starting to see more distressed buyers

Cracks are starting to show in Toronto’s preconstruction housing market, as financial pressures not only stall future projects but some industry experts are also seeing an uptick in purchasers putting their properties up for sale, with the most distressed cases coming from buyers of lowrise and freehold homes in the suburbs.
They warn it could be just the beginning, as preconstruction homebuyers who put down a deposit during the pandemic find their full payment coming due in a drastically changed economic and interest rate climate.

Refugees sleeping in Toronto churches continue calls for government support

After spending days or weeks living in an emergency shelter at a Toronto church, dozens of asylum seekers and refugees want action from the provincial and federal government.

On Thursday, asylum seekers who have been living at Pilgrim Feast Tabernacles in Etobicoke staged a protest outside Premier Doug Ford’s constituency office at 823 Albion Road. Nadine Miller, a director with the church, says its been housing about 150 people and neglecting bills to pay for their food.

While immigration policies are a federal responsibility, Miller and the church is calling on all levels of government to work together on a solution.

Why can’t they sleep in Tents like Canadian homeless?

Asylum claimants flooding shelters, social services in Ottawa … Doesn’t Justin have a couple spare rooms now?

OTTAWA – Femi Biobaku came to Canada more than a year ago fleeing persecution from the Nigerian authorities, forcing him to leave his wife, two children, community and job as an accountant back home.

He landed in Ottawa in July 2022 and stayed with a host family for nearly a month before moving into a dorm at the Ottawa Mission homeless shelter, where things took a turn for the worse.

Liberal Immigration Minister: We know the foreign student program is a scam and we’re doing everything we can to not fix it

Integrity of immigration system at risk as international student numbers balloon, minister says

… Canada is on track to welcome around 900,000 international students this year, Miller said in an interview that aired Saturday on CBC’s The House. That’s more than at any point in Canada’s history and roughly triple the number of students who entered the country a decade ago.

… “It is an ecosystem in Canada that is very lucrative and it’s come with some perverse effects: some fraud in the system, some people taking advantage of what is seen as a backdoor entry into Canada, but also pressure in a number of areas — one of those is housing,” he said.

… But Miller shied away from committing to the idea of a hard cap on the number of students entering Canada.

Integrity is a word that Liberals should be banned from using. What Miller means is the Liberals have to find a “fix” that protects their ethnic strongmen and their skim.

God forbid the Liberals should upset China’s 5th Column operations.

GUNTER: Canadian cities on low end of employment income scale

This week, Vancouver’s Fraser Institute put out tables showing the median employment income in the 141 largest cities in North America.

The highest-ranked Canadian city is Ottawa because bureaucrats have higher incomes on average than private-sector workers. Still, our nation’s capital was only 53rd best on the continent.

But mass immigration doesn’t depress wages! Justin said so!

Migrant smugglers boast on social media how EASY it is to cross the border in confronting clip showing long line of men entering the U.S

Migrant smugglers were seen boasting how easy it is to illegally cross the border into America in a confronting clip showing a long line of men entering the U.S. smiling and waving at the camera.

The alarming footage, filmed on May 27 near Lukeville, Arizona, reveals a long line of migrant men casually climbing through a gap in the US-Mexico border wall and meeting no resistance or questioning.

A caption in Spanish accompanying the video reads: ‘Achieving their goals, the gents’ followed by two prayer emojis. Text overlaid on the video also describes the crossing as a ‘desert adventure.’

Randall Denley: Time for Ford to act on Ontario’s reliance on international students for post-secondary funding

A light bulb has finally come on in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. Dim though that bulb may be, it has sufficient power to illuminate a glaring weakness in how Ontario funds post-secondary education.

Sean Fraser, the new federal housing minister, offered the opinion this week that the 807,260 international students in Canada are putting pressure on the Canadian housing market. That’s not terribly surprising, since the number of international students has more than doubled since the Liberals took power. It’s also a problem that Fraser failed to address when he was immigration minister.

While it’s gratifying to see the federal Liberals tentatively identifying a link between the number of people flowing into the country and the shortage of housing, it’s Ontario Premier Doug Ford who really has to wake up.

The foreign student scam is harming Canadian citizens.

Are our politicians so dim they didn’t see that coming or are they just malevolent destroyers?

We need to close a lot of these woke universities. They are toxic.
