The Unite the Kingdom Rally report you won’t see in the mainstream media

ALL SIR Keir Starmer’s efforts to stop people from attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally and march in central London on Saturday failed. Utterly. Neither his ‘shaming’ and threats, nor an unprecedented police presence – 4,000, I am told – closing off central London from any tube or road access, worked.

Nor did the tactics succeed in provoking the thousands of marchers – those who managed to get to Whitehall from Euston and Kings Cross, and the many more thousands who never even got sight of Trafalgar Square, stuck at the far end of the Strand, who after three hours gave up. It all said so much for the law-abiding, decent ever-patient Brits who attended.

Forty-three arrests after enormous £4.5m police operation keeps rival protests apart

Forty-three arrests after enormous £4.5m police operation keeps rival protests apart

The Metropolitan Police has said 43 arrests were made on Saturday during an enormous £4.5m police operation to keep demonstrators at two rival London protests apart.

More than 4,000 police officers were deployed to the capital to manage a so-called “sterile zone” between a rally organised by far-right figure Tommy Robinson, and a pro-Palestinian demonstration.

Tourists trying to navigate major central London landmarks were left bemused by the operation.

Net zero migration will not make Britain poorer

Net zero migration will not make Britain poorer

Will net zero migration make us all poorer? If you believe the latest “analysis” by Oxford Economics, it “risks blowing a £700bn hole in the economy by 2026”.

In an echo of the Brexit campaign, the report is being used to challenge Reform’s plans to transform the British immigration system, reverse the post-Covid migration wave and end Indefinite Leave to Remain. Unfortunately for open-borders advocates, the analysis doesn’t add up.

One very obvious weakness is that it is solely concerned with GDP, rather than GDP per capita. The difference is that GDP measures the size of the whole economy, whereas GDP per capita tells us the average economic output per person. Per capita is a much better measure of how rich a country and its people are.

Jamie Sarkonak: I read ‘The Camp of the Saints.’ Here’s why it’s relevant

Jamie Sarkonak: I read ‘The Camp of the Saints.’ Here’s why it’s relevant

Jean Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints (1973) is easily one of the most suppressed books of the 20th century. That’s because it’s a dystopian novel about mass third-world migration, a topic still considered taboo to many. While The Handmaid’s Tale and Nineteen Eighty-Four have become regular headliners of “banned book” campaigns and subjects of novel studies in school curriculums, English translations of Raspail’s magnum opus have been so hard to find that used hard copies sold for prices ranging into the hundreds. Until just last year, that is.

There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

In a recent ruling, Court of Quebec judge Antoine Piché tore a strip off Crown prosecutors who appear before him for discounting sentences based on offenders’ immigration status, to avoid non-citizens being flagged for deportation — which is supposed to happen after a criminal sentence of six months or more is handed down.

I was most intrigued by Piché’s annoyance at the widespread insistence that this doesn’t happen. This is one of those Canadian phenomena that clearly exists — National Post has reported many such cases, many of which wouldn’t be known to the public otherwise — but that we’re supposed to pretend does not.

The tough job market isn’t getting any better for young Canadians

Landing a first job can be challenging at the best of times, but in recent years, the search has become even more daunting for young Canadians.

“I’ve applied for over 100 companies and so far I haven’t found any even for an interview,” said recent graduate Jay-Owen Angeles at a Calgary job fair aimed at youth ages 15 to 24.

Immigration officers told not to judge credibility of asylum seekers, even if they doubt their stories

Immigration officers told not to judge credibility of asylum seekers, even if they doubt their stories

Immigration experts say the front-line officials charged with initially questioning refugee claimants do not have enough latitude to probe the details of claimants’ stories, even if there is reason to doubt them.

The issue of how and when claimants are questioned came to public attention late last month. That’s when figures provided to MPs on the Commons immigration committee revealed that the Immigration and Refugee Board, which adjudicates asylum claims, has since 2019 processed more than 45,000 refugee cases based on paperwork alone, without in-person hearings, as it deals with a backlog of claims.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Bill C-12 will not solve Canada’s immigration problems

Tasha Kheiriddin: Bill C-12 will not solve Canada’s immigration problems

Last month, Bill C-12, the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act received royal assent. The law gives the Minister of Immigration, Lena Diab, the power to pause applications “in the public interest.” It also retroactively bars persons with expired one-year permits (such as student visas, or temporary work permits) from subsequently filing refugee claims, as they can now do when other avenues to permanent residency are closed. It also eliminates the loophole whereby persons who enter the country illegally and remain undetected for 14 days can also file a refugee claim, under the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement.


It’s a Band-Aid and an awfully small one.

Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood

A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.

Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and thefts remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

Shaken by break-ins, an affluent Toronto neighbourhood takes action

The squad of private security cars fans out after nightfall, their little rooftop lights flashing yellow against the historic homes and manicured hedges of Rosedale. Their drivers patrol the streets slowly, stopping to inspect parked cars and following any suspicious drivers.

Other unmarked security vehicles idle nearby, their drivers wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, ready to respond to break-ins in six minutes or less.

Inside those graceful homes, residents have prepared crude fortifications: door braces, newly installed alarms, hammer-proof glass.

Federal memo links immigration policy to rising youth unemployment in Canada

A federal briefing memo is contradicting years of government messaging, acknowledging that immigration policies allowing foreign students expanded access to jobs — at the expense of Canadian youth employment.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the internal document from Employment and Social Development Canada cites an 18% unemployment rate among Canadian students and attributes worsening job prospects in part to a surge in non-permanent residents, including international students.

Douglas Todd: B.C. voices did speak up against Trudeau’s migration policies, but were ignored

Red flags about the Liberals’ plan to hike the volume of low-skill foreign workers, international students and transnational wealth were raised about a decade ago. But the Laurentian elite paid no heed.

One of the relatively few books written about Canadian immigration policy in the past decade says Justin Trudeau’s Liberals could have avoided “breaking the system” if they had just listened to some level-headed economists.

In “Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong,” author Tony Keller, a columnist for the Globe and Mail, reveals how in 2016 then-immigration minister John McCallum invited 11 labour economists to give their views regarding issues such as increasing low-skill temporary workers and international students.

The economists’ ensuing report was utterly ignored by the Liberal government — to the point the authors doubted their paper had even been read.

Andrew Griffith: The stakeholders who cheered on the Liberals’ devastating immigration expansion

In October 2024, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau announced an about-face on mass immigration, admitting: “We didn’t get the balance quite right.”

Trudeau’s mea culpa ranks among the starkest understatements in recent political memory: record-breaking immigration levels contributed to a severe housing shortage, strained public services to the breaking point, suppressed wage growth and, in the process, shattered Canada’s once-stable pro-immigration consensus.


Never believe academics, the corporate class or politicians when it comes to immigration.

Rising food bank visits show more Canadians are at risk of homelessness yet Corporate human traffickers demand more cheap foreign labour

For a long time, the food bank in Renfrew County, Ont., was only open during the day. But back in 2021, after staff began hearing from clients who were having trouble making it in, they extended their hours to 7 p.m.

“We’re seeing a huge number of working families, where mom and dad both have just about minimum wage jobs and they just can’t make things work,” said Mike Wright, who has volunteered with his wife at the food bank for more than 15 years, and has run it for the last five.
