“Societally Destructive Immigration Policy”

One person has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison and two others have been given probationary sentences following a human trafficking investigation that ultimately led to the discovery of 84 foreign nationals living in “deplorable conditions” and being “exploited” by employment agencies throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, police say.

The RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency says that it began a joint investigation in 2018 after learning that foreign nationals were entering the country as visitors through major airports and were being “trafficked into employment in different lines of work, mostly in the Hamilton-Niagara Region.”

The authorities say that the victims were “exploited” by employment agencies operated by members of the group who had facilitated their entry into Canada.”

I wonder what the LPC’s cut was?

Sometimes, all it takes is a hard-hitting phrase in a speech for people to take notice. Keir Starmer’s intervention last week on immigration, where he warned that the UK risked becoming ‘an island of strangers’, achieved exactly that.

Some on the liberal-left have reacted to the PM’s speech in typically hysterical fashion, drawing comparisons between Starmer’s words and the infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech delivered by former Conservative MP Enoch Powell in 1968. Powell made numerous inflammatory claims such as, ‘In this country, in 15 or 20 years’ time, the black man will have the whip hand over the white man’. He also warned of a looming race war. The idea that parallels could be struck between Starmer and Powell is outrageous, particularly as Starmer’s speech was full of praise for the contribution migrants have made to Britain.

An Indonesian computer expert who processed 222 “bogus returns” at the New Brunswick Staples where he worked to get store gift cards that he exchanged for pre-paid, untraceable credit cards has been sentenced to 15 months behind bars, despite his lawyer’s argument that more than six months in jail will get him deported.

Soegiono Liem Swie, who has permanent resident status in Canada, raked in between $89,732 and $93,338 as a result of his “repeated acts of dishonesty,” according to a Fredericton provincial court judge.

WTF? Let’s make him a non-bogus return. h/t DS
