Siavash Shekarian: Canada’s immigration system seems to be in peril

It’s no secret that Canada’s immigration system is broken. From selection to integration, every aspect seems to be in peril. Yet, while headlines abound about Canada’s population trap, productivity emergency, housing crisis, and the mass exodus of talent leaving our country, discussions about the root causes and solutions remain notably scarce.

Canada’s immigration policy is anti-Canadian.

Fraser Institute: Canada’s living standards are falling behind the rest of the developed world

This month, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland proclaimed that “Canada is the best country in the world.” But it’s a hard statement to square with the evidence. Canadians are getting poorer relative to their peers in many other countries and our living standards are falling. This trend is expected to continue well into the future, unless our policymakers make significant changes.

RUBENSTEIN: Should we gladly invite Palestinians to Canada?

“Their presence will simply make life intolerable for Canadians – particularly Jewish Canadians.”

More than 3,000 Gazans to date have been approved for visas to enter Canada, says a Department of Immigration briefing note, just released by Blacklocks Reporter.

“Canada is the only country in the world with a dedicated pathway for extended family members of its citizens or permanent residents in Gaza,” said the May 27 briefing note. Cabinet “recognizes the situation in Gaza and we are being as flexible as possible to help as many extended family member of Canadians affected by the conflict,” it said.

More Migrants Apprehended in Canada – US Border Sector in 10 Months than Last 13 Years Combined

Border Patrol agents in the Swanton Sector of the U.S.-Canada border have apprehended more than 15,000 migrants so far this fiscal year, more than the previous 13 years combined, according to U.S. Border Patrol reports.

Trudeau is a threat to both Canada and the US.

Canada will struggle to rein in surge of temporary residents being allowed into the country by that vote whoring bastard Trudeau, Bank of Canada projects

The Bank of Canada is projecting that the federal government could fall short of its goal to shrink temporary residents’ share of Canada’s population over the next three years.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in March that Ottawa would attempt to reduce their share of the population from 6.2 per cent to five per cent by 2027.

But on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada predicted that the government would miss that target. The bank’s monetary policy report — released as part of its announcement to reduce interest rates — said that non-permanent residents’ (NPRs) share of the population has actually grown since the goal was set in March.

As Trudeau botches immigration, poll shows falling support

The Trudeau Liberals have broken Canada immigration system and with it, public support for that system.

And now we have the numbers to back that up thanks to a poll by Leger for the Association of Canadian Studies.

According to Leger’s findings, 60% of Canadians now believe we have too many immigrants coming into Canada.


I believe Trudeau and his corporate cronies consider Canada’s immigration system to be working as planned.

No one could be this incompetent, suppressed wages, profitable shortages and ethnic votes galore are the goal.

The destruction of Canadian society by mass immigration is deliberate and working to plan.

The rich world revolts against sky-high immigration

Immigrants are increasingly unwelcome. Over half of Americans favour “deporting all immigrants living in the us illegally back to their home country”, up from a third in 2016. Just 10% of Australians favour more immigration, a sharp fall from a few years ago. Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s new centre-left prime minister, wants Britain to be “less reliant on migration by training more uk workers”. Anthony Albanese, Australia’s slightly longer-serving centre-left prime minister, recently said his country’s migration system “wasn’t working properly” and wants to cut net migration in half. And that is before you get to Donald Trump, who pledges mass deportations if he wins America’s presidential election—an example populist parties across Europe hope to follow.


We do not require masses of immigrants to open up an unsettled land nor are we in the midst of an “Industrial revolution” and there are no more continental railways to be built.

Mass immigration serves only to line the pockets of the greed driven corporate class and earn the good will of ethnic vote blocs for our slimy politicos.

Our elites care nothing for you and your family they are destroying Canada for their own vile ends.

Matthew Lau: Torontonians’ truly awful travel options — taking the car or public transit

Everyone who relies on the Toronto Transit Commission to get to work or school knows “TTC” really stands for “Take The Car.” But given the horrendous traffic drivers must deal with, that’s not a great option either. An Ipsos poll for the Toronto Region Board of Trade finds 86 per cent of respondents agree either strongly (45 per cent) or somewhat (41 per cent) that “there is a traffic and congestion crisis in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).” Similarly, 85 per cent agree that “traffic and congestion have a negative impact on the economy in the GTA.”

Vancouver’s Langara College among those bracing for drastic plunge in foreign students

Langara College is preparing for drastic cuts in enrolment, particularly of high-fee-paying international students.

Langara president Paula Burns has told faculty there has been a 79 per cent drop in foreign student applications for the spring of 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Good. I hope they’re forced to close.

Deborah Lyons: Courageous leadership is needed to combat antisemitism in Canada

On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust — murdering over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking hundreds of hostages. Just nine days later, I was appointed as Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism.

Some might say that I consistently find myself in difficult jobs, during especially excruciating times, having most recently led the United Nations’ efforts in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021. But this role is different. As a diplomat, I dealt with issues that impacted Canada’s relationship with other countries, but as Special Envoy, I’m dealing with an issue that is challenging Canada’s very own relationship with itself, its social cohesion, democratic values, and national security.


This is really sad. Lyons advocates for interfaith dialogue and all the usual Kumbaya nonsense. No one buys this crap save out of touch white guilt suffering bozos like her. The Islamists are laughing at us. Pity they didn’t allow comments.

Bank of Canada warns high volume of immigrants driving up cost of rent

Bank of Canada (BoC) analysts on Wednesday disputed cabinet claims immigration is an immediate net benefit to the country, and warned the rapidly increasing population is costing Canadians.

Immigrants typically drive up rents, are slow to get a job and contribute “to inflationary pressures in some sectors,” said BoC in a monetary policy report, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Colby Cosh: The bankers’ revolt against Canada’s tidal wave of immigration

I continue to be weirded out by the unfamiliar, almost uncanny nature of what I think we can call Canada’s immigration crisis — i.e., the apparent effects on labour markets, housing, services and infrastructure of an ill-managed and virtually unprecedented deluge of humanity. (And, no, I don’t think the super-immigration of the homesteading era qualifies as a precedent.) What’s unfamiliar about this is that critiques of government immigration policy have been led, in Canada, almost exclusively by economists. There is as yet no sign of widespread populist revolt against very high immigration; it is the bean-counters, the nerdy jugglers of abstractions, who are losing their patience with Liberal heedlessness.

Sixty per cent of Canadians say Canada is admitting too many immigrants: poll

GUNTER: Trudeau’s work policies spawning problems for immigration

Since coming to office in 2015, the Trudeau government has made foreign study in Canada a parallel immigration system, effectively doubling the number of newcomers it admits every year by giving the process another title.

Hundreds of thousands of students gain easy admission to loosely designated “career colleges,” at which they take nine to 12 months of business training. During their time as students, they are able to work up to 40 hours a week (to be cut back to 24 hours a week by Ottawa as of Sept. 1).

Feds were warned about setting ‘significant precedent’ with Ukraine visa program

Court documents show federal immigration officials warned that the government risked undermining the temporary immigration system with the design of the emergency visa program for war-displaced Ukrainians.

Immigration Department staff raised the concern in a memo to Sean Fraser, immigration minister at the time, shortly after the program was announced.

The documents were disclosed as part of a lawsuit against the federal government by two Afghan Canadians, who allege Canada discriminated against Afghan refugees by treating them differently than it did Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion.

Sounds like another open the floodgates gambit.
