After plunging due to interest rate hikes throughout last year, the average price of a Canadian resale home has now increased for four months in a row, new numbers showed Monday.
The Canadian Real Estate Association said Monday that the average selling price of a home that sold on its MLS system in April went for $716,000. That’s the fourth monthly increase in a row, and it marks a collective increase of more than $100,000 since the start of the year.
Black Chicago residents ripped a proposed migrant center Friday, citing a depletion of city resources for their community by accommodating the migrants, as well as the potential of non-citizens voting in local elections.
The residents are protesting and taking legal action to prevent Chicago from housing migrants in a closed-down high school and two other locations in the South Shore neighborhood, ABC7 Chicago reported. The city is seeing an influx of more than 200 migrants a day and has taken in 8,000 since August, prompting the city to declare an emergency as migrants have taken to sleeping in police station lobbies.
Tapachula, Mexico is a modern day Babel.
A report this week from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM) found that between Nov. 23, 2022 and May 6, the agency’s office in the southern state of Chiapas, where Tapachula is located, gave out visas and permits to 81,245 migrants from 103 nations across the globe.
The vast majority of the migrants came to Mexico from countries in South America — Venezuela, where many migrants fled the poverty that goes hand-in-hand with socialist rule, topped the list with a staggering 23,329 nationals.
On Saturday mornings, Maggie Herdman, 31, leaves her home near Jane and Eglinton at 6 a.m. to commute nearly an hour to the Fort York Food Bank. Once there, it can take up to four hours before it’s her turn to shop inside the small College Street storefront.
Before the pandemic, Herdman used to be able to relax, sit down and read as she waited inside. Now, through rain and snow, she stands by as the line snakes behind her towards Kensington Market. “I’ve gotten sick before,” said Herdman, a recipient of Ontario Works. “But I still do it.”
All of this misery lies at the feet of our ruling class. Mass immigration, supported by the Uniparty has driven shelter costs beyond the reach of many, young, old it doesn’t discriminate.
Anybody seen any trickle down from the public service strike? Didn’t they claim they were “fighting” so everyone could enjoy gold plated benefits like they have?

Zumper’s most recent Canadian Rent Report shows 15 of the country’s most populous cities have seen their average rent increase on a monthly basis in 2023.
“With the national vacancy rate for rentals at less than 2 per cent, the demand in Canada has continued to outpace the available supply, which has led to spiking rents in most of the cities in this report,” the rental website said.
Border Patrol agents, equipped with sophisticated technology, attempt to apprehend migrants illegally crossing into the United States. But securing the border has become more difficult as agents are taken off the line to process unprecedented numbers of illegal migrants turning themselves in, instead of preventing smuggling, drug and human trafficking, and identifying national security threats. The end of Title 42 will push the numbers of migrants and got-aways even higher.
EL PASO — On a dusty patch of U.S. land between the Rio Grande and the U.S. border wall, thousands of migrants have been streaming this week toward two massive gates that open into the United States.
“Door 40” and “Door 42” are two miles apart, the latter sharing the same number with the Title 42 pandemic policy whose much-anticipated expiration Thursday night has already unleashed the largest wave of border crossings in U.S. history.
U.S. authorities have been directing migrants toward the large steel gates, turning the riverplain east of downtown El Paso into a massive outdoor waiting room.
Straining under the pressure of thousands of migrants flooding into the US, Border Patrol agents were ordered to begin releasing swaths of people from overwhelmed holding facilities Wednesday.
Agents were ordered Wednesday to release migrants from any border sector that reached 125% capacity. They are being released without having a court date and with no way the US can track them, but given instructions to appear at an immigration office within 60 days, according to NBC.
“We’re already breaking and we haven’t hit the starting line,” one DHS official told the network.
You can see Mexican immigration leading this group to the river today as part of their secret WhatsApp coordination with Biden’s DHS as I reported @CIS_org yesterday, but texas screwed this up by having a national guard tactical team block them on the bank.Vid by @jwbr77 pic.twitter.com/ZegYj3heIq

French politicians have warned about the risk posed by the country’s increasingly violent and toxic rows over immigration after the mayor of a seaside town resigned following death threats and an arson attack on his home, and far-right groups protested over an asylum-seeker centre in his town.
Yannick Morez announced he was stepping down as mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, in western France, and would have to stop his work as a local doctor, weeks after his home was targeted in an arson attack that burned two cars and the front of his family house. The arson attack is under investigation, but Morez complained of a “lack of support from the state”.

Your government has declared war against you. They will smear you as a racist for standing up for yourself and your family and daring to question mass immigration.
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, spoke in the House of Lords this afternoon during the second reading of the Government’s Illegal Migration Bill, a policy he referred to as “morally unacceptable”. He said that Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman’s plan “risks great damage to the UK’s interests and reputation at home and abroad”, citing Matthew 25, in which Jesus encourages us to welcome the stranger. Last year, the Archbishop said in an Easter Sunday sermon that the policy was “against the judgement of God”.
Canadian real estate prices are climbing on the country’s booming population. More demand means higher home prices, right? Not so fast, it may not be as straightforward as the narrative. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data released today shows immigrant income levels from a survey conducted in 2021. Recent immigrants to Canada earn significantly less than their peers, and would struggle to pay for basic shelter at today’s prices—nevermind drive prices higher.
To get this far, they have survived weeks on the road, and the attentions of robbers, coyotes and cops.

MONTREAL – Canada’s plan to increase immigration is stoking fears among Quebec’s political class, who say the changes would reduce the province’s influence in the country and make it harder to protect French.
Provincial legislature members today adopted a motion declaring Canada’s plan incompatible with the protection of French in Quebec and that the province must have complete control over its immigration.
Premier François Legault said Tuesday that Quebec would not accept a big rise in immigration because of the need to properly integrate, house and educate newcomers.
As the end of the Title 42 era nears, Mexican towns south of the border are struggling to cope with migrants crowding the streets in the hope of gaining access to America.
According to migrant shelter employees in Mexico’s Chihuahua state, migrants are rushing to the border, seeking an opportunity to cross over before the Trump-era Title 42 is lifted on May 11. A Covid-related public health emergency that underlined the migration-restricting measure expires on that date.
The policy has long faced fierce criticism from immigration advocates and some Democrats who believed it prevented many asylum seekers from coming into the country.
Republicans have argued that the policy should remain in place to stop illegal border crossings, fuelling an increasingly intense and politicised immigration debate ahead of the 2024 election.
Here’s what you need to know about Title 42.
