Trudeau’s welcome mat for immigrants wears thin amid Canada housing crunch

OTTAWA, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has relied on immigration to drive economic growth and plug labor gaps, but now he is hitting the brakes after a seismic shift in public opinion that could undermine his chances to win the next election.

It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.

This propaganda was swallowed by a gullible Canadian public who like the proverbial frog was slowly boiling to death before realizing too late that Canada had been irrevocably harmed by mass immigration and the nation destroying lies of multiculturalism and diversity. It was promoted by the political and corporate classes who view mass immigration as a means to serve their selfish ends at your expense.

Is a waning Canadian dream fuelling reverse migration in Punjab?

Canada has long been a draw for people from India’s Punjab province seeking new opportunities elsewhere. But has the Canadian dream soured?

It’s hard to miss the ardour of Punjab’s migrant ambitions when driving through its fertile rural plains.

Billboards promising easy immigration to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK jut out through ample mustard fields.

Off the highways, consultancies offer English language coaching to eager youth.

Many immigrants leaving Trudeau’s Canada within years of arriving: StatCan

More than 15 per cent of immigrants decide to leave Canada either to return to their homeland or immigrate to another country within 20 years after they have landed in Canada, according to a new study.

Statistics Canada examined the emigration of immigrants from 1982 to 2017 in the study released Friday.

Canada’s immigration backlash is far from populist

As the United States and Texas state governments clash over the Mexican border, a very different kind of immigration crisis is taking place elsewhere in North America. Unlike in the divided US, Canada is supposed to be one of the world’s most solidly pro-immigration societies. More than just another self-satisfied Justin Trudeau facade, this attitude has been attested to by historically high levels of public support.

However, an unfolding shift in public sentiment may now change that. Amid a housing crunch and soaring costs of living, Canadians are turning against the prospect of welcoming more immigrants. And the Trudeau government has slowly started to bend under this pressure.

Now Showing Canada Joins 3rd World! Cineplex pulls South Indian film screenings after shootings, intimidation and talk of turf war

Movie exhibitors including Cineplex Inc. have pulled screenings of a South Indian-language film across Canada after individuals opened fire at four cinemas in the Greater Toronto Area last week, the latest incidents of intimidation related to Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam blockbusters.

Videos obtained by The Globe and Mail show a person in a hoodie shooting a gun multiple times through the passenger window of a vehicle at the entrances of Cineplex locations in Scarborough and Vaughan. In a separate video, the driver of the vehicle fires at a Cineplex in Brampton. York Cinemas, a theatre in Richmond Hill, Ont., was also hit by gunfire. The shootings shattered glass and left bullet holes in windows. According to York Regional Police, the incidents occurred in the early morning hours, when the theatres were closed.

Dear 3rd world – Go Home.

Trudeau’s mass migration cult is destroying Canada

Quality of life, per capita income and social cohesion are being sacrificed to a third world ‘population trap’

When wokeness, the making sacred of historically-disadvantaged minorities, takes control of a society like Canada, the effects go far beyond plans to stock tampons in men’s bathrooms. There, taboo-driven mass immigration is not only resulting in cultural tensions but in economic paralysis and soaring housing costs.

You know things have gone crazy when even economists at the National Bank of Canada are sounding the alarm. They say the country has entered a “population trap” in which savings are sucked into providing infrastructure and capital for new arrivals, impairing economic growth. More than that, the immense pressure of the 1.2 million new residents the country added in 2023 is driving the cost of housing through the roof. To put this number into scale, it’s larger than the population of most Canadian cities and 8 of the country’s 13 provinces and territories.

Trudeau is Canada’s worst PM in history.

NP View: Hate in the streets fuelled by Trudeau’s ‘post-national’ vision of Canada

In recent months, we have witnessed a critical mass of antisemitic Canadians willing to vandalize Jewish businesses, protest relentlessly for a Palestinian nation-state “from the river to the sea” and even threaten police officers with death.

It’s not entirely clear how much of the blame for this despicable behaviour can be placed on the fundamentally racist ideology of diversity, equity and inclusion that has been allowed to fester in universities for years, and how much is a result of the erosion of shared values among Canadians.

Give this a read, it nails what we have discussed on this blog for years. I am frankly surprised a mainstream media source printed it.

KLEIN: Proper vetting of refugees is common sense for Manitoba

Recently, I wrote about the planned Polo Park protest by pro-Palestinian activists. Many of these protesters disrupt the lives of ordinary people, families, and Canadian Businesses. It seems like we already have many people in Canada inclined to justify terrorism and take the side of Hamas.

I can’t imagine why we would want to import more people who might be inclined to make lives miserable for normal families.

Chaos ensues after massive Diwali celebrations take over Mississauga parking lot

Videos showing a rowdy Diwali celebration at a Mississauga parking lot are grabbing attention online for the second year in a row.

One of the clips posted to TikTok shows hundreds of people gathered at Westwood Square Mall in Mississauga on Sunday, waving flags with fireworks heard going off in the background.

In another video, two groups of people appear to be throwing trash and refuse at each other before several police officers can be seen approaching one of the groups.


I see the police employed the latest in crowd control techniques.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Canada’s multicultural utopia now a balkanized grievance factory

Canada has become a nation of diasporas. Rather than wrapping ourselves in a common flag, we huddle in our enclaves: Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, Chinese, Black and the list goes on. Faith, color and country of origin divide the nation. Everyone is the “other,” and increasingly, the enemy. Violence and acts of hatred are multiplying in our streets.

John Ivison: Tolerating the glorification of terror and slaughter is societal suicide

Sukhdool Singh, an alleged gangster, was gunned down in Winnipeg last month, in a tit-for-tat killing between rival gangs.

Singh was wanted in India for extortion and murder, and was alleged to have links to the Khalistan Tiger Force, which has been designated a terror organization by the Indian government. He is said to have escaped to Canada on a forged passport in 2017 and India has been trying, unsuccessfully, to extradite him ever since.

Singh’s case is instructive because it is at the heart of the dispute between Canada and India. The Indians say Canada has offered a safe haven for Khalistani terrorists in return for votes from the Sikh community.

UN envoy links temporary foreign worker program to ‘contemporary forms of slavery’

A United Nations official on Wednesday denounced Canada’s temporary foreign worker program as a “breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery.”

Tomoya Obokata, UN special rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, made the comments in Ottawa after spending 14 days in Canada.

“I am disturbed by the fact that many migrant workers are exploited and abused in this country,” he said.

Trudeau Floodtide: Undercounting of an estimated million non-permanent residents means GDP & housing crisis are worse than reported

Undercounting of an estimated million non-permanent residents could affect per-capita GDP, say economists

Economists are warning that Ottawa’s reported undercounting of non-permanent residents by around one million in the official figures could have an impact on Canada’s per capita GDP – a global measure used to gauge a country’s prosperity.

They say that understating the number of non-permanent residents could skew assessments of how Canada’s economy is growing along with its population, and that actual per capita gross domestic product might be lower than reported.

Canada shut its land border to asylum seekers. More refugees came anyway

TORONTO, Sept 2 (Reuters) – A deal Canada struck this year to stem the flow of asylum seekers entering from the U.S. was, at first glance, a quick success: Within days, the number of people caught at unofficial crossings along the border dwindled to a trickle.

But five months later, the overall number of people filing refugee claims in Canada has risen instead of falling. Many now come by air, while others sneak across the border and hide until they can apply for asylum without fear of being sent back, people working with migrants told Reuters.

The numbers show how hard it is for countries to shut the door on desperate people and the challenge unexpected numbers of asylum seekers can pose: In Toronto, hundreds slept on the streets this summer as they struggled to find beds.
