Canada’s mass immigration plan is heating up and it’s accelerating. The impact of this plan will be devastating to the country in a variety of ways including the economy, scarce housing, overloaded health care, collapsing education, and unaffordable social programs.
This is a tsunami of mass immigration.
OTTAWA – If Canada reduces the number of international student visas, as Housing Minister Sean Fraser mused this week, it would be a serious blow to colleges and universities who increasingly need those students to balance their books.
Fraser, who was in the immigration portfolio just last month, said he is concerned about the more than 800,000 students Canada accepted last year, worried that many do not have access to good housing when they arrive and distort local rental markets.
‘Different factors’ fuel housing crisis, not international students: Trudeau
“We have to be very careful. Over the past years, we’ve seen a lot of different people and a lot of different groups blamed for the housing crisis. At one point it was foreign homebuyers. At another point it was developers being super aggressive. Another point, it was under-investments by various orders of government. Now it’s people saying, ‘Oh, it’s international students,’” Trudeau said.
“Yes, there’s a lot of different factors that go into this housing crisis. But it’s something that has been brewing and developing over the past number of decades.”
Trudeau can’t help but lie, it’s his nature and he will never accept blame for his monumental screw-up of Canada’s immigration policy.
Trudeau initiated a Mass Immigration scam on an unheard of scale without a thought to how it would overwhelm our infrastructure and price Canadians out of decent housing. The deep thinkers in the Liberal Party have determined that making everyone poorer is sound economic strategy.
Those “foreign home buyers” Justin mentions were laundering hundreds of millions from Trudeau’s admired dictatorship of Communist China. Small wonder the foreign influence inquiry seems dead in the water.
The mass immigration scam was bolstered by Trudeau’s abuse of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program which allows his Corporate Class Cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
The international student ruse is just another way to sell Canadian citizenship and add to the pool of cheap labour Justin’s corporate cronies desire. Currently 800,000 “students” compete for housing with hard pressed Canadians.
Having some of our uber woke universities go bust is a good thing since so many solely focus on turning out racist grievance mongers and other degenerates.
Maybe business should pay a higher wage, I do not believe only “desperate small business owners” rely on foreign student labour, that sounds like a Chamber of Commerce talking point.
Returning home amid the war: Why some Ukrainians are choosing to leave Toronto
In the midst of the Russian invasion, Oleksandra Balytska landed a remote job in Kyiv with a Canadian artificial intelligence start-up, hoping to support her family.
But last fall, when the capital city was plunged into darkness amid attacks on Ukraine’s power systems, Balytska’s employer invited her to move to Toronto.
When Balytska landed in Toronto last December, she was immediately shocked by the cost of groceries.
“I was so terrified that I bought only like two ramens because of the prices,” she said.
KAMOURASKA, QUE.—The summer is almost over, and with it, the massive retreat of urban visitors from the rural areas that are Canada’s summer playgrounds. I see them from June until now on the Trans-Canada Highway nearby, the Ontario licence plates speeding east to Atlantic Canada, or returning back. They may be tourists who decided to pass on Maine or Massachusetts this year, or they are folks from “down home” visiting family and friends before returning “upalong.”
This is self evident in light of the housing crisis Trudeau’s liberal party created and its “effort” to solve it.
The Liberals will not back down on their mass immigration scam which according to their top thinkers will make everyone richer by making everyone poorer.
They know mass immigration will continue to drive up the cost of rent and home ownership.
They also know that no magic wand exists to create new housing and it will be many years before supply meets demand.
The increase in costs is naturally higher in urban centres that attract the most immigrants.
Unfortunately demand is so great the increase in housing costs has spread far beyond urban borders and now small towns feel the same pressures city dwellers do.
However the large urban centres like The GTA and Montreal also happen to be Liberal Party strongholds.
Strongholds they’ll need in order to form yet another minority government with Sell-Out Singh.
Do you think the Liberals are going to trash the Home Equity their most consistent supporters have accrued?
Me neither.
Trudeau’s cronies know their cue: Toronto-area home building shifts into low gear as developers pause or cancel projects
Over the last two decades, the number of foreign students studying in Canada has increased almost sevenfold, to more than 800,000. The jump has been particularly sharp in recent years. At the end of 2022, there were nearly half a million more visa students than in 2015.
At first blush, this sounds like a success story: Canadian higher education must be so outstanding that record numbers from around the world are lining up to pay university and college tuitions several times higher than those for Canadian students.
I wonder which Liberal palms are being greased?
Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser
Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.
“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.
This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.
Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
Of course it is Junior – Trudeau Says Immigration a ‘Solution’ to Housing Shortage
Experts’ warnings of a possible covert Chinese Communist Party (CCP) invasion via the Biden border crisis seem increasingly relevant. There has reportedly been an 800% uptick in illegal Chinese migrants seeking to enter the U.S.
About a dozen people were hurt at an Eritrean-themed event in Edmonton on Saturday during a clash with a group who said they were protesting the Eritrean government.
Edmonton Police Service monitored the group of protesters all day as they moved across the city in the shadow of the festival, sometimes in riot gear while controlling the crowds. Police read more than once what’s colloquially known as the riot act.
Lambros Kyriakakos, the chairman of the Coalition of Eritrean Canadian Communities and Organizations, said he helped organize the annual Eritrean community festival that draws people from across western Canada.

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tries to pretend the high cost of housing isn’t a federal problem, Pierre Poilievre won’t stop talking about it. His description two months ago of a postwar Niagara house as an overpriced “tiny shack” may have been pretty tone-deaf for a politician who lives in a multimillion-dollar publicly funded home, but the Conservative Leader hit pay dirt last week with a heartwarming story of how he lived as a student with his single father near a Calgary rapid transit station. He called for politicians to get serious about affordability for single parents, students, seniors and others in housing need, by getting many more new high-rise apartments approved by municipalities near federally funded public transit.
Mr. Poilievre is absolutely right on many of these counts – and also dead wrong on others.
Something to consider … The Liberal’s Mass immigration scam will cushion the decline if not further inflate real estate values. It’s a cyncial election strategy but protecting voter home equity by inundating cities with migrants might work given urban centre’s are LPC strongholds.
Desperate calls by schools to urge local homeowners to rent out their rooms; students paying $650 a month to live three-to-a room in college towns boasting monthly rents upward of $2,000; a viral TikTok video purports to show an international student living under a bridge in Scarborough, Ont.
Housing is a complicated issue. It will take co-ordination, cash, and time to fix. But in the short term, there is at least one glaringly obvious – if surely controversial – way to help ease the challenge of finding affordable rental accommodation: We need to stop issuing so many international student visas.

… the Liberal government has gone to extraordinary lengths to give employers a nearly unlimited supply of low-wage workers, with many of those now arriving via the education visa stream. Those visas used to be entirely about education, but many schools now appear to be partly or even mostly peddling something else, namely the opportunity to reside and work in Canada, usually in a low-wage job.
Canada’s immigration system used to be the envy of the world.
Note my use of the past tense.
To appreciate what was good about Canada’s previous immigration strategy – the one followed until recently through governments Progressive Conservative, Conservative and Liberal – contrast it with the dysfunction of our friends down south.
HATE THE LIBERALS.
The alarm bells are becoming bull horns: Canada’s housing supply isn’t keeping up with the rapid rate of population growth.
Academics, commercial banks and policy thinkers have all been warning the federal government that the pace of population growth, facilitated by immigration, is making the housing crisis worse.
“The primary cause for (the) housing affordability challenge in Canada is our inability to build more housing that is in line with the increase in population,” said Murtaza Haider, a professor of data science and real estate management at Toronto Metropolitan University.
Following months of pressure from refugee advocacy groups and opposition parties, the federal government says it is thinking about increasing the number of Afghans it can bring to Canada.
“It’s safe to say publicly that we will show some flexibility,” said Immigration Minister Marc Miller, referring to the goal the Liberal Party set during the last federal election campaign of bringing 40,000 Afghan refugees to Canada.
“There is some uncertainty in the number of people obviously that assisted Canada and clearly what their family members, who their family members are, and the level of risk that those people face in that country. And it’s not like Canada will hit a number and walk away from the table.”
Ottawa homeless shelters are seeing a surge of asylum seekers showing up at their doors, raising fears that the refugee housing crisis overwhelming Toronto shelters could be spreading to the capital.
Peter Tilley, CEO of the Ottawa Mission, said a record number of migrants have come to the shelter on Waller Street in recent weeks.
Tilley was “floored” when he saw the data. Of 228 new intakes at the shelter since the beginning of June, 87 were newcomers. He said most of those were refugee claimants.
Cities should send them all to Ottawa.
This week, the Wall Street Journal, a strong candidate for “best newspaper in the English-speaking world,” became the latest news outlet to lift a questioning eyebrow at Canadian immigration policy. WSJ’s superb Ottawa reporter Paul Vieira gestures, for the benefit of his paper’s international audience, at facts most of our readers already know well. Inflexible, highly regulated parts of the economy like housing, medicine and transport are screaming under the burden of immigration levels with few precedents anywhere — levels the Liberal government has done nothing but increase.
