‘We were ahead of the parade’: Canada is following Quebec’s lead on tightening immigration

OTTAWA — With only two years experience in politics, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette may be a political upstart, but she seems to be the spearhead of Canada’s immigration policy.

And now, with a mini cabinet shuffle likely on Thursday, François Legault could entrust her with yet another major file: the economy.

Since Fréchette took over as immigration minister in 2022, she has not been the most vocal or flamboyant minister but she has been trusted with one of her boss’s most cherished priorities. And again and again, Canada has followed Fréchette’s lead on immigration.

New Crackdown at Canadian Border Comes as Unpopular Trudeau Faces Reelection

Canada has been blocking border crossings and turning away foreigners seeking visas in what may be an attempt to appease voters ahead of the country’s 2025 elections — while Prime Minister Trudeau has the lowest approval ratings of his career.

July saw the North American country’s Border Services Agency deny entry to 5,853 foreign travelers, the highest such number of refusals since at least 2019, Reuters reports.

Canadians turn on Trudeau over immigration

One of the most pro-immigration countries in the world has turned sour on welcoming more newcomers. A recent poll conducted on Canadians’ attitudes towards immigration shows that 65% of the population believes the Liberal government’s current immigration targets are too high. Ever since coming to power in 2015, Justin Trudeau has opened the floodgates of new migrants pouring into Canada, with 500,000 permanent residents expected in 2025. Polling shows that 78% of respondents believe high immigration levels are contributing to the national housing shortage, while 76% said they are having an impact on healthcare.

Concern over immigration quadruples over last 48 months

September 4, 2024 – While the number of Canadians galvanized over the cost of living and inflation is beginning to decrease, their attention is fixating on an issue that was once only glancingly thought of: immigration.

New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds Canadians’ concern over immigration has risen four-fold over the last two years, prompting the federal government to announce plans to shrink the Temporary Foreign Workers program. One-in-five (21%) say “Immigration/refugees” is one of the top issues facing the country, putting it in a tie with climate change (21%), though still far off from the high cost of living (57%), health care (45%) and housing affordability (32%).

Internal docs show Ontario was aware it had an ‘over-reliance’ on international students

As Ontario’s post-secondary institutions come to grips with a far-reaching federal cap on international student approvals, internal provincial documents reveal that the Ford government was aware that colleges and universities had an “over-reliance” on overseas students as a way to make up for budget deficits.

The documents, obtained by Global News, also gave the Minister of Colleges and Universities a dire snapshot of the life of international students in Ontario, highlighting the lack of existing services for students who are dealing with “intensive feelings of isolation.”

‘France killed my husband’ – the rising anger of the gendarmes

A gendarme was killed in France on Monday evening when a driver ran him over at a routine roadside checkpoint in Provence.

Adam Pankratz: AfD’s rise in Germany offers stark lessons for Canada

Any sentence that ends with “for the first time since 1945” is likely to garner attention. When the first part of the sentence is “Germany votes for far-right government,” drinks are spat out and the volume on the telly is turned up.

And so it is. Over the weekend, German voters in Thuringia easily lifted the Alternative for Germany (AfD) to the top spot in regional elections. In Saxony, the party placed a close second, right behind the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which, together with the centre-left Social Democratic party, has had a lock on power nearly everywhere in Germany since the modern Germany state was founded in 1949.


There is nothing “extremist” about defending your best interests from vile politicians and a rapacious corporate class as we are faced with in Canada.

Liberal immigration pivot forces Canada to reckon with approach to labour shortages

OTTAWA – The Liberal government’s decision to reel in the temporary foreign worker program after loosening the rules to help businesses find workers after the pandemic is sparking a contentious debate about whether governments should even try to address labour shortages.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that his government is bringing back stricter rules to stem the flow of low-wage temporary foreign workers, and he urged businesses to hire and train Canadian workers.


There was never a “labour shortage” there was a slave shortage and our Captain’s of Industry had Trudeau fix that for them.

Immigration flaws debase Canadian citizenship

Shocking testimony at the Commons Public Safety Committee last week raises serious flags about how two men now charged with a slew of terror related charges were allowed into this country. One of them, Ahmed Eldidi, was granted Canadian citizenship just two months before he was arrested. One of those charges is related to a terror video made before Eldidi came to Canada. He can be seen allegedly dismembering a body, “for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with” the Islamic State.

Business groups raise concerns over measures to reduce the number of foreign workers entering the country

Justin Trudeau this week moved to quell a public backlash to one of the world’s most progressive migration policies by rolling back Canada’s foreign worker scheme.

Trailing in polls ahead of an election next year, the prime minister announced measures to slash the number of new arrivals. But executives worry the measures will curb their supply of cheap labour.

Simranzeet Singh, manager of policy at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, said that more consultation was needed to ensure “changes do not inadvertently harm our economy or critical services”.

Nigeria’s Black Axe, an organized crime group on the rise

Whenever Stephan Fuchs starts talking about Black Axe, his desk quickly gets cluttered with dozens of notes, arrows, and diagrams. The co-director of Victras, a Swiss non-governmental organization fighting human trafficking, says these complex inner machinations are precisely what makes the group so successful. “Authorities can recognize Nigerian networks,” he explains, “but for a long time, nobody understood the group dynamics and mechanics behind them.”

For years, Fuchs has been advising law enforcement agencies on groups such as Black Axe and explaining how they spread. In Europe, the wider public is barely aware of such groups, even though criminal organizations like these have been on the rise in past years.

An “Ultra Violent Cult” Is Stealing Cars & Using Canadian Real Estate To Launder: FINTRAC

Canadian real estate, an “ultra violent cult,” money laundering, and Toronto’s stolen cars. Sounds like a spy thriller, but that’s reality in Canada, according to FINTRAC. In 2017, the financial intelligence agency assessed the money laundering threat of an organized crime group called Black Axe. The group infiltrated the government, conducts mass fraud, and runs a Toronto-based car theft ring. FINTRAC found nearly 1 in 5 suspicious transaction reports linked to Black Axe, involved real estate.

Conrad Black: The chaos on U.K. streets was preventable

Because of old associations, natural affinities, and our shared status as secondary mainly English-speaking countries somewhat in the shadow of American contiguity and influence, Canada retains a greater interest in what happens in the United Kingdom than in most foreign countries. It has been distressing to see the violence in Britain this summer. In part Canadians may feel that if violence is more frequent and extensive in England than it has been it may come here next. We have long prided ourselves on our peaceable nature compared to American society although that is practically an inevitable distinction given the revolutionary origins of the United States, the admired tradition of taking up arms against oppressive behaviour, and the legacy of slavery that lingers yet in that country despite its Herculean effort, unique in world history, to raise up a formerly forcibly subjugated minority to a position of absolute equality with the majority that formerly owned the minority as property-human chattels.

Union alleges abuse of foreign workers, calls for program to be suspended

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades says employer abuse of foreign workers is running “rampant” in the construction sector and Ottawa should pause the temporary foreign workers program entirely until an independent audit is conducted to investigate the scale of fraud and misuse within the program.

The construction union said in a statement Thursday it discovered financial abuse of migrant workers at a British Columbia painting company. At least one of the workers has since been approved for a government program that converts closed work permits to open work visas if applicants can prove they suffered severe abuse and exploitation by their employer.
