Roxham Asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick don’t much care for the place

Asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick left struggling to find help

Jessica arrived in New Brunswick confused and disoriented, stepping off a bus on a cold March night after a more than 10-hour journey from Roxham Road. She knew nothing about Moncton, the city where she had been sent.

“They never told me where we were going,” she said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter.

Jessica is one of more than 200 asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick after arriving in Quebec over the international border. Her relocation to Moncton was part of a scramble by the federal government to redirect migrants to other parts of the country.

The obsession, and its untold costs, of trying to find housing in Toronto

We have a crisis of housing affordability in this city. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know: we’re obsessed with it, items at city council this month (on declaring homelessness an emergency, and permitting new housing types to be built more easily) are trying to tackle parts of it, multiple mayoral candidates (Mark Saunders, Ana Bailão, Anthony Perruzza, Mitzie Hunter) either released housing plans this week or are planning to do so next, and others (Olivia Chow, Josh Matlow, Brad Bradford) already have at least parts of theirs out.

Everyone knows we have a problem.

It’s a Star piece. That’s the only way someone could write about the housing crisis without mentioning Trudeau’s city destroying mass immigration policy. Ideological blindness is mandatory.

His lament that the “creative class” (people like himself) are leaving TO is sheer vainity.

They were going to leave due to crime sooner or later, it’s what Liberals do after they fuck a city over.

Low Wage Immigrants Will No Longer Be Welcome in Sweden

Sweden is doubling the minimum income level non-EU migrants need to obtain a permit, with Swedish officials warning that half of the country’s migrants are unable to survive without welfare.

Sweden is raising the minimum income threshold for non-EU job seekers in the latest measure by Stockholm to help curb mass immigration.

On Thursday, May 4th, Minister for Migration Maria Malmer Stenergaad announced that the minimum income threshold will be raised to €2,534 per month for new non-EU workers to receive a Swedish work permit. The country issued 24,000 such non-EU worker permits last year. The new regulations are expected to come into effect in October.

‘We only got errors’: migrants struggle with asylum claim app at US-Mexico border

When they arrived in Ciudad Juárez on 17 March, across the US-Mexican border from El Paso, Texas, Nestor Quintero and his family were penniless, hungry and homeless. But their primary concern was getting their hands on a smartphone.

The 35-year-old Venezuelan migrant had found out in Tapachula, a city close to the Mexico-Guatemala border, that people hoping to enter the US to ask for asylum needed to secure an appointment through a recently introduced mobile phone app known as CBP One.

They have an APP?

Young adults are giving up on home ownership, and a lot of them are furious about it

Falling house prices have failed to make home ownership more affordable. Young adults are not taking it well.

To gauge the mood of Gen Z and millennials on home ownership, I ran a survey in the Carrick on Money newsletter last month. Of the 1,545 people between the ages of 20 and 40 who replied, 52 per cent described themselves as either furious or angry about housing affordability.


The article is fine from a numbers point of view but fails to discuss the factors that have created the housing crisis such as Canada’s economically ruinous mass immigration policy which is creating a national wave of poverty.

The cost of mass migration

Way back in the long distant 1990s, net migration into this country used to be in the tens of thousands each year. There was no lack of discussion about that, but we were not yet in the ‘dependency’ period of migration: that is, when people routinely said we had to have migration because otherwise who would do the menial jobs that we Brits didn’t want to do? You know, things like work in the NHS, work in restaurants, clean. That sort of thing.

Trudeau’s immigration policy worsening housing affordability crisis: Rosenberg

Starter sod huts now out of reach for working peasants.

Ottawa’s lofty immigration targets are exacerbating Canada’s housing affordability crisis that could create an “unstable situation” while possibly jeopardizing the Liberals’ re-election, according to Bay Street economist David Rosenberg.

“A nation where folks in their 30s are crowded out of the housing market because of an elongated period of excessive home price inflation that is the result of federal government policy is not a very happy nation,” he said in his widely read Breakfast with Dave newsletter on May 3. “This will all come out in the wash in the next election, and if I were in opposition, this is the card I would be playing.”


In a sane nation the opposition would play that housing crunch card but this is Canada and we have a Uniparty not an opposition which is all in with ruinous mass immigration.

Canada Is On Track To Smash Last Year’s Immigration Record

Vicious idiots run Canada

Canada’s housing crisis might be getting a lot more intense with its population boom accelerating even faster than its previous record. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) data shows permanent residents were up significantly in February. Beating last year’s record growth isn’t easy, but it’s on track to easily surpass the growth.

… Typical immigration and economic hubs are the intended destinations for permanent residents. Ontario managed to capture the largest share (41% of the total), in line with its typical share. It was followed by BC (17%), and Alberta (12%)—both capturing large but significantly smaller shares of the total.

It’s OK to ask whether immigration is intensifying our housing crisis

According to Statistics Canada, Canada’s population grew by 1,050,110 people in 2022. International migration accounted for 95.9 per cent of this growth.

Some have questioned whether Canada’s immigration policy is at odds with its efforts to address the housing crisis. Paul Kershaw of UBC has pointed out that newcomers, through no fault of their own, will amplify demand for housing and drive up home prices. CIBC CEO Victor Dodig recently expressed concern that increasing immigration levels without first increasing housing supply risks triggering Canada’s “largest social crisis” over the next decade.

OMG! The Star grabs a clue.

Canada developing new immigration policy to attract French-speaking people, teachers

OTTAWA – The Liberal government says it is developing new policy on francophone immigration as a way to grow the French language in Canada.

Official Languages Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor says it’s an advantage for Canada to have a bilingual workforce and population.

The policy is part of a five-year action plan for official languages the government released today.

Refugees, asylum seekers make up nearly a third of Toronto’s shelter population

Thousands of refugee claimants are in homeless shelters across Toronto, as stays grow longer amid a housing affordability crisis and a lack of federal support for an increasing number of asylum seekers.

According to city data, refugees and asylum seekers accounted for 30 per cent of total occupancy in the municipal shelter system as of March, with average stays reaching four to six months. The pressure on the shelter system has prompted the city’s government to press Ottawa for more funding. And while support for 2023 is included in the recent federal budget, it is not a permanent commitment – as has long been called for.

GTA rents hit record $3,000, creating a ‘very alarming’ situation … Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is paying off BIGLEY for his corporate cronies

Average rents in purpose-built apartments broke the $3,000 barrier for the first time in the first quarter of this year — the sixth straight quarter in which Toronto area rents have seen double-digit year-over-year increases, according to Urbanation.

The situation is “very alarming,” even though rent growth has moderated, said Shaun Hildebrand, president of the market research firm, on Thursday. Rents slowed to 13.8 per cent annual growth in the first quarter from 15 per cent in the final quarter of last year and 17 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. The figures apply to purpose-built apartments constructed since 1985.
