It’s time for Canada to take its foot off the immigration gas pedal

The guy who cut my hair last week taught me something about the Temporary Foreign Worker program: It’s even looser than I thought.

Fixing that, and a number of other things that aren’t quite right about the immigration system, comes down to the Trudeau government. So, don’t hold your breath.

After Sean Fraser was shuffled from Immigration Minister to Housing Minister on Wednesday, he said Canada can’t “close the door on newcomers.” As if that’s what the government’s critics are calling for. Is it possible for Canadians to discuss a serious economic issue, seriously? Or is polarizing name-calling all that our politics has left?

The TFW is a worse scam now than under Harper.

14 Indian nationals caught fleeing Trudeaupia by US border patrol

A mysterious cellphone, cryptic instructions and an interrupted smuggling run of 14 Indian nationals

U.S. Border Patrol agents recently disrupted an attempted smuggling run moving 14 Indian nationals from Canada into the U.S. across the Quebec-New York State border, court records show.

This was one of the largest interceptions of Indian nationals by the U.S. Border Patrol in a single smuggling event over the past three years along this area of the Canada-U.S. border, according to U.S. federal court records.

GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s ‘free’ health-care system is broken

While health care is the primary concern of Canadians save for the rising cost of living, according to an Abacus Data poll released Wednesday, the issue appeared to get short shrift in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle.

What would you expect from a system already stressed prior to the criminally negligent import of millions of migrants?

Trudeau’s immigration scam creating ‘mirage’ of Canadian economic prosperity: economists

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fueled economic growth and plugged gaps in the labor market by ramping up immigration, but now new arrivals are straining public services and contributing to an overheating economy, economists say.

Since taking power in 2015, Trudeau has brought in an estimated 2.5 million new permanent residents, driving the population above 40 million.


Trudeau is deliberately changing the nations demographic. He hates Canada.

TD report predicts increased economic hardship due to Trudeau government’s mass immigration scam

If Canada’s population boom continues at its current frantic pace, interest rates will face upward pressure and the massive influx of people will significantly worsen affordability for homebuyers and renters, a new report from TD Bank warns.

And the bank’s economists are calling on the federal government to restore “balance” to its immigration policies.

That rapid growth has helped employers fill job openings and propelled Canada to become the fastest growing economy in the G7, but it is also causing “dislocations in other segments of the economy,” including the housing market, health care, social services and infrastructure, that threaten to undo the benefits, the report’s authors warn.


It’s pretty bad when even the porkers of Canada’s corporate class are saying STOP.

People can’t afford rent never mind even dream of owning a home but Trudeau always has money for Corpoarate welfare cases if it “advances” his green-scam.

‘Very concerning’: Canada’s standard of living is lagging behind its peers, report finds. What can be done?

… Hejazi, who recently wrote a book about Canada’s slouching prosperity, agreed and added that government protectionism of the country’s biggest industries is another leading factor: “Companies are only as productive as they need to be,” he said — by shutting down competition, Canada is “killing innovation” as companies grow complacent.

“If you look at the three major industries in Canada: Telecom, air transportation and finance — I can go further and say dairy and even grocery — all of these industries are extensively protected from competition,” Hejazi said. As a result, these companies “don’t need to move the needle” in order to pull in profits.

Biden administration sues Texas governor over Rio Grande buoy barrier that’s meant to stop migrants

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Justice Department on Monday sued Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over a newly installed floating barrier on the Rio Grande that is the Republican’s latest aggressive tactic to try to stop migrants from crossing into the U.S. from Mexico.

The lawsuit asks a federal judge in Austin to force Texas to remove a roughly 1,000-foot (305-meter) line of bright orange, wrecking ball-sized buoys that the Biden administration says raises humanitarian and environmental concerns. The suit claims that Texas unlawfully installed the barrier without permission between the border cities of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico.

Diane Francis: Immigration pushing housing, health care to the breaking point

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to increase immigration to unprecedented levels is damaging Canada’s health-care system.

The numbers reveal the problem. Last year, Canada welcomed 492,984 new immigrants, all of whom will eventually be issued health cards, entitling them to medical benefits for life. This year, another 465,000 immigrants are set to arrive, plus another 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025.

The Policies Come Home to Roost: Chicago Neighborhood Tired of Illegal Immigrant Violence

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been making a public relations push to tell illegal aliens not to come to the sanctuary city formerly known as the Big Apple. He’s gone as far as to distribute leaflets to newly arrived immigrants suggesting they take their residency elsewhere. This is odd, considering the fact that so many of New York’s original residents have high-tailed it to red states. There should be enough room for anyone obtuse enough to actually want to move to NYC.

Don Wright: Why did Justin Trudeau switch sides in the ‘class struggle?’

In 2014, Justin Trudeau wrote an op-ed arguing that the Stephen Harper government should dramatically scale back the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program.

His reasoning was sound – both in moral terms and in economic terms. He wrote: “I believe it is wrong for Canada to follow the path of countries who exploit large numbers of guest workers.” He also pointed out that large numbers of TFWs “drives down wages.”

We might have expected, therefore, that things would change under his leadership. And indeed, they have. Between 2015 and 2022 the number of TFWs in Canada doubled!


The TFW program was reviled even by the press when its toxic excesses were revealed during Harper’s government.

It says something about our news media and Canada’s so called “opposition parties” that a problem can get worse and receive less attention.

Adam Pankratz: Politicians cower as homeless camps take over Canadian cities

Many cities in Canada are facing a housing and homeless crisis. Whether it be Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto, homeless tent encampments have become a depressingly common sight. For the most part, politicians seem either uninterested or unwilling to act unless forced to do so. After years of inaction, Vancouver’s tent city was only finally removed after a fed-up populous ejected the former mayor and council and swept Ken Sim and his ABC party to power with mandate to change something, anything, about the declining state of the city.


The housing situation calls for a march on Ottawa.

The mass immigration policy favoured by the corporate class and implemented by their lackey pols in the Liberal, NDP & Conservative UNIPARTY is impoverishing Canadians.

Ontario’s housing dystopia is an utter scandal

Luxury accommodation

Ontario is the second-worst province when it comes to the “rental wage” – the amount of money you’d have to make per hour based on a 40-hour workweek to afford rent on average. That’s according to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released earlier this week. While no province in the country is affordable — that’s right: not one of them — Ontario is particularly bad. The only worse province is British Columbia.

The report’s definition of “affordable” rent is based on the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s guideline that one should spend no more than 30 per cent of one’s income on housing. The authors of the report, David Macdonald and Ricardo Tranjan, contrast each province’s mandated minimum wage with the rental wage to paint a grim picture of our present and growing housing dystopia.

Yet another leftist article on the housing crisis that neglects mention of mass immigration, the authors do favour a sort of nationalized housing stock initiative.

The crisis is real, but the problem must be dealt with honestly.

Justin Trudeau should listen to Justin Trudeau on temporary foreign workers

Justin Trudeau has some advice for Justin Trudeau.

Mr. Trudeau, in 2023, leads a federal government that has overseen a surge in the country’s reliance on low-wage temporary foreign workers. The federal Liberals stoked this increase: they loosened the rules early last year. According to the latest data, reported by The Globe last week, Ottawa has approved the hiring of almost 80,000 low-wage foreign workers in the year after the rules were eased. That’s triple the level of the 12 months before the change.

The Mr. Trudeau of 2014 would not be happy. Amid debate at the time over rising reliance on foreign workers, Mr. Trudeau’s position on the opposition benches was clear. “The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is broken,” he declared. He argued that it “drives down wages” and called for the program to be “scaled back dramatically.”

Trudeau won’t take blame for failing refugees

It is to Canada’s shame that refugees who came here legally with an expectation of a safe harbour are instead cast up on the rocky shore of a tent city in Toronto.

Perhaps I have a solution.

Brian Lilley writes in the Sun : “It’s a different world at the corner of Peter and Richmond Sts. in downtown Toronto, one that doesn’t look like it should exist in this city.

Just steps away from the trendy shops and restaurants of Queen St. W., there’s a homeless encampment for refugee claimants on the sidewalk.

Trudeau to make tax payers fork out $97 million Dollars to help clean up his refugee mess in Toronto

Ottawa offers millions more in housing support to shelter refugees in Toronto

The federal government is injecting additional funding to help Toronto shelter a surge of newly arrived asylum seekers.

After weeks of bickering between Ottawa and city officials over who should foot the bill, Ottawa announced Tuesday an extra $97 million in new funding to help house refugees, many of whom have been camping outside Toronto’s homeless service centre on Peter Street.

According to the city, refugees currently make up a third of Toronto’s 9,000 shelter spaces.

Prediction – 2 mos. from today – Homeless refugees declared a tourist attraction by Chow regime.
