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.

WEISSENBERGER: Can we reverse the Trudeau immigration fiasco?

WEISSENBERGER: Can we reverse the Trudeau immigration fiasco?

Early in 1951, a refugee in Bavaria tried a second time to emigrate to Canada. His mistake on the first attempt had been to write, under “occupation,” the word “teacher.” He’d been a trained teacher before the war, but Canada didn’t need teachers. Asking around, it seemed Canada needed labourers, so when my father wrote “labourer” on the application, he was accepted.

The Truth about Immigration from the Global South

The Truth about Immigration from the Global South

For decades, discussions surrounding mass immigration into Western nations have largely been confined to two unproductive viewpoints. One perspective, which views culture as a superficial element and asserts the fundamental similarity of all human beings, suggests that immigrants primarily require sufficient time and opportunities to integrate. Conversely, the other attributes assimilation challenges to cultural values, patriarchal attitudes, or religious conservatism. Both approaches, however, exhibit an intellectual reluctance to delve deeper. What remains conspicuously absent from the prevailing discourse is an understanding rooted in developmental psychology and civilization theory. This framework offers significant explanatory power while avoiding genetic determinism and simplistic cultural explanations, yet it still presents genuinely uncomfortable truths.

Canada urged to open up new permanent resident program to all temporary workers

With so many temporary residents running out of legal status this year, Ottawa has been urged to immediately release details on an announced program that’s meant to grant permanent status to migrant workers in limbo — and make sure the process is fair and inclusive.

Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab has been in the hot seat, accused of failing to promptly and properly communicate about the highly anticipated program to transition temporary foreign workers with expiring permits to permanent residence.

How America can survive low immigration

How America can survive low immigration

… Conventional wisdom tells us that immigration is always good for the economy. But countries such as Britain and Germany have recently managed to combine historic levels of immigration with stagnant growth. The Econ 101 crowd may be sticking to a textbook that is badly out of date. But one point is clear: If you are going to slash the number of migrants, you need to make sure your existing population is working as hard as possible.


Canada is as bad as England or Germany. The Liberal party has lied about the economic benefit of mass immigration by focusing on GDP as opposed to GDP per capita which is a truer measure of a nation’s wealth.

The LPC  like their Democrat counterparts criminally exploited Canada’s immigration policy to line their pockets and skew voter demographics in their favour.

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: Canada keeps asking non-citizen criminals to stop. They obviously don’t

In 2017, a permanent resident of Canada named Mudasar Hussain was convicted of dealing drugs. Here was an opportunity to return him to his home country of Pakistan, but the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) didn’t take it: instead, it sent him a “stern warning letter” advising him that it wouldn’t take enforcement action if he stayed out of trouble — even though he was now considered inadmissible.

It’s clear are our government is comprised of criminal idiots.

Ottawa spends $43M on health care for rejected asylum claimants sparking backlash

Federal figures show Ottawa spent more than $43 million last year providing health care benefits to illegal immigrants and rejected refugee claimants, fuelling criticism from Conservatives who say taxpayers are footing the bill for services many Canadians struggle to access.

Blacklock’s Reporter says data released by the Department of Immigration indicates 19,771 individuals whose asylum claims were denied still accessed coverage through the Interim Federal Health Program, including prescriptions, clinical care and transportation to medical appointments.

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.

Canada’s brain drain is only half the story

Canada’s brain drain is only half the story

Canada has long consoled itself with a particular self-image, that, whatever its economic shortcomings, it remains a magnet for the world’s talent. People want to come here. The numbers back that up. But a harder question is beginning to surface in the data, not how many people arrive, but how many stay—and whether the ones who leave are the ones Canada can afford to lose.

I recently documented Canada’s net emigration and the disproportionate loss of high-earning, highly educated Canadians, particularly to the United States—the entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and financiers whose economic contributions far exceed their numbers.

That finding tells only half the story. The other half is what is happening on the immigration intake side of Canada’s human capital equation, and it points in the same troubling direction.

Canada was once a dream destination for Indian students. Is that changing?

At an overseas education consultancy in the Indian capital, Delhi, students sit with their parents, flipping through brochures from universities in Italy, Germany and Australia.

But one destination, once the top choice, is now largely absent.

“Until 2023, most of our applications were for Canada,” says Shobhit Anand, who runs the consultancy, which helps students navigate the admission process, including visa applications.

Now, he says they have seen a drop of nearly 80%.

IRCC orders asylum claimants who crossed U.S. border irregularly to leave or face deportation

Asylum seekers who crossed the border from the United States irregularly and claimed asylum are being ordered by the immigration department to leave Canada as soon as possible or face being deported, after the passing of a new law tightening up asylum rules.

Immigration lawyers have expressed fears that many foreign nationals receiving warning letters from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will now cross back into the U.S. and be detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and deported.


And deported? They say that like it’s a bad thing.
