Ontario Premier Doug Ford is retracting a vow he made last week to have his province issue its own work permits to asylum seekers in the face of what he said were federal government delays that have left refugee applicants in limbo.
“I don’t want to take the responsibility off the federal government,” Mr. Ford told reporters outside his office at Queen’s Park on Monday. “But in saying that, if you have a pulse and you’re healthy, you need to be working.”
Of the thousands of bankers in Canary Wharf, only one crossed the footbridge to the newly designated migrant hotel opposite the district’s glass towers, curious to witness the commotion.
Metal fencing surrounded the entrance of the Britannia Hotel, guarded by a wall of police and a private security guard in a surgical mask. Territorial support vans crawled past. It was hard to escape the feeling that a great crime had been committed.
Police Escorted “Anti-Racist” protesters. Civil war soon? No crystal ball but to my view the French riot better than the English or Germans.
Just as quickly as they’ve arrived, the Stand Up To Racism rent-a-mob have left their cages outside the Bell Hotel in Epping. From start to finish, they were outside for approximately 50 minutes! Back to the tube station for them now, to wherever they came from (not here) pic.twitter.com/87eoPD6YF4

Prime Minister Carney has recently introduced a plan to bring in thousands of aging people from India.
He doesn’t explain why such a program could possibly be in the best interests of Canadians — why Canada would possibly want more elderly, retired people who will put even more stress on the medical system, social services and housing. No disrespect to India, or to those retirees, but we have plenty of elderly, retired people, and don’t need to import more.
Alberta immigrants say they’re seeing an uptick in anger, rise of racist narratives
Alberta resident Shamaila Akram says she can handle the increase in racial slurs and derogatory comments being thrown at her, but she worries about her newcomer and immigrant clients.
As debates unfold over Canada’s immigration system, those who provide help to newcomers in Alberta say there has been an uptick of hostility toward immigrants.
“I hear from people in my own communities — women specifically who wear hijabs — many bad things and we realize there is a need to educate people,” said Akram, with Calgary’s Centre for Newcomers.

Asylum seekers staying in federally-funded hotels will soon have to check out as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says that funding will end in September.
A spokesperson for IRCC told CBC News via email that as of Thursday, the federal government was housing 485 asylum seekers in five hotels in Ontario and Quebec, noting it has spent approximately $1.1 billion on temporary hotel housing for asylum seekers since 2020.
“This measure was never meant to be permanent, and IRCC is funded to continue hotel operations only until September 30, 2025,” the email said.
It is becoming harder by the day to pretend this is all normal. Epping, a leafy Essex town not known for rabble-rousing, has suddenly become a bellwether. It is not extremists making the noise, but mothers: ordinary, decent, quietly exhausted. One protestor’s placard said it best: “I’m not far-Right. I’m worried about my kids.”
Eight days. That’s how long it took from Hadush Kebatu’s illegal arrival on our shores to his alleged assault of a local teenage girl. This criminal charge has pierced through the political haze, not because it is an anomaly, but because it is no longer rare. The British people are not imagining the chaos. They are living it.
Ontario mortgage delinquencies on the rise and could climb higher still, experts warn
Mortgage delinquencies appear to be on the rise in both Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area and the numbers could get worse as Canada navigates choppy economic waters, experts say.
According to data prepared for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) by Equifax Canada, mortgage delinquencies rose to 0.22 per cent in Ontario for the first quarter of this year. That’s up from 0.15 per cent in the first quarter of 2024 and 0.09 per cent in the first quarter of 2023.
In Toronto, the mortgage delinquency rate hit 0.23 per cent for the first quarter of 2025. That compares to 0.14 per cent for the first quarter of 2024 and 0.08 per cent for the first quarter of 2023.

The same cabal that jacked immigration rates to unprecedented levels will always find a way to destroy your economic and social well being.
They want you poor and fearful, one step away from being homeless and willing to work for the cheapest wage possible.
Ford, Carney and his pal Wiseman of Century Initiative infamy are working hard to ensure the Corporate class has ready access to slaves.
The right answer is mass deportation.
The federal government is pushing back against Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s claim it takes two years for an asylum seeker to be given the right to work in Canada, saying the average processing time is actually less than two months.
Ford made the claim on Wednesday afternoon at the end of a three-day leaders’ summit in Huntsville, Ont., where the country’s premiers agreed to look at ways to use their constitutional powers to hand out work permits.

President Trump said immigration is “killing Europe” as he arrived in Scotland at the start of a four-day visit.
Speaking to reporters after landing at Prestwick airport on Friday evening, Trump said: “On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. You got to get your act together.
“You know, last month, we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down.”

Douglas Todd: To understand why Mark Carney’s goal of building 500,000 houses a year won’t happen, look to New Zealand and the harsh realities right now of making a profit in real estate.
The unspoken maxim within Canadian political circles, I’m told, is that elected officials just can’t win when it comes to either public health care or housing affordability.
No matter what politicians do, voters will continue to complain about poor access to medical care or feel aggravated about super-expensive housing prices.
That’s often why, when it comes to the massive files of health and housing, elected officials go out of their way to at least look like they’re doing something. And to look like they’re being bold.
Last year, more than 90,000 people made asylum claims in Ontario, and it seems Premier Doug Ford wants that number to go up.
Ford made the comments at the close of the meetings he and other premiers held this week in Huntsville.
“We will be issuing our own work permits. We aren’t going to sit around and wait for the federal government,” Ford said.

Alberta’s immigration minister says he’s concerned about the federal government’s plan this year to accept thousands of parents and grandparents of immigrants already in Canada.
Joseph Schow responded Tuesday to a federal notice that Ottawa plans to take in 10,000 applications from those who have previously expressed interest in sponsoring family members.
Schow took issue with the 10,000 figure.
In a statement, Schow said provincial health-care systems, housing and social services don’t have the capacity and could be overwhelmed.
The Essex Police Commissioner has demanded that migrants are removed from Epping following days of protests.
In a letter to Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, Roger Hirst said The Bell Hotel, which has been the focal point of unrest, was “unsuitable” for housing migrants and that the presence of asylum seekers was “clearly creating community tension”.
On Thursday night, police were preparing for more disorder outside the hotel and planning to keep protesters separate in order to prevent clashes.
‘I didn’t get an answer!’

Last week, Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne penned a column about the federal government’s immigration levels entitled “A shrinking population is hardly what this country needs right now.”
His thesis would have been at least notionally credible if he had addressed two obvious problems. But there’s a third problem that no one, including Coyne, seems to be internalizing.
