‘Canada First’ is really an ‘Immigrants Second’ movement

There was a “Canada First Rally” recently in Toronto, to “Stop mass immigration. Start mass deportations” according to the social media poster for the event. But here’s the catch: our immigration system already runs on a Canada First principle. Who is admitted, who is rejected, who is left in limbo is always structured around what Canada needs, not what immigrants want.

So maybe it’s time we call it what it is: an “Immigrants Second” movement.

40 Percent of Canadian Youth Say Jobs a Major Concern: Poll

Nearly 40 percent of Canadian youth say unemployment is their top concern, according to a new poll.

The survey was conducted by the Angus Reid Institute. It found that nearly two in five of those between 18 years and 24 years (37 percent) said jobs and unemployment was the top issue facing the country.

That is up 9 percentage points from June (28 percent) and nearly double from Decemeber 2024 (18 percent).

Alberta to increase provincial control over immigration and cease Carney government’s sinister abuse of Canadian citizens through it’s cheap foreign labour scams

Alberta premier directs minister to increase provincial control over immigration

Premier Danielle Smith is directing the provincial jobs minister to use all legal means possible to give Alberta more control over immigration.

In a new mandate letter given to Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration Minister Joseph Schow, Smith says Alberta needs more control over immigration to ensure the province sees sustainable levels of newcomers.

“Our provincial immigration levels and policies should always ensure that Canadian citizens have first access to job opportunities, and that young Canadians are not losing out on employment opportunities to temporary foreign workers,” the letter says.

I left the Tommy Robinson rally with the worrying realisation: this movement is only going to get bigger

Determined to get a good spot on Whitehall, the woman from Liverpool had woken her nieces at 3am to travel to London. Her dedication paid off. By the time the march reached her on Saturday afternoon, she was sitting on a wall outside Downing Street, the little girls in camping chairs at her feet, engrossed in their iPads.

She had unfurled two banners. One said “Keir Starmer is a wanker” and the other read: “We’re not far right, we are England’s mothers and we will not stay silent. Stop the rape of our children, mothers across Britain are taking a stand.”

I asked her why she was there and she looked incredulous. Wasn’t it obvious? “Because Keir Starmer’s a wanker.” Why? “He’s taking our speech away.” Even though you’re allowed to sit outside his house and call him a wanker? “Well he is.”

The Guardian is fainting again.

How the British Flag Became a Flashpoint in a New Culture War

RUGBY, England—Stuart Field raised his first flags in July: the English red cross of St. George and also a smattering of the British red, white and blue, hanging them from his hometown’s streetlights.

His daughter had just been sent home from her school’s annual cultural celebration day for wearing a sparkly dress designed around the Union Jack. Field was infuriated. A flyer from the school had described the event as a way to recognize the diverse cultures represented among the students. “Wear your traditional cultural dress to school instead of your usual school uniform,” it said.

“Your attire must reflect your nationality or family heritage.”
Field’s daughter, 13-year-old Courtney Wright, had prepared a speech about what British culture meant to her, focusing on everything from afternoon tea to the royal family to the British sense of humor. But she never got a chance to deliver it: When she arrived at the school, she was isolated from the other students and then told to go home.

Bernier targets Punjabi truck drivers: Calls for US pressure on Ford and Freeland

PPC leader Maxime Bernier has called for US Secretary of Transportation to talk to Doug Ford and Christya Freeland about how drivers from Punjab are “taking over” the Canadian trucking industry.

“US secretary of transportation @SecDuffy should ask @fordnation and @cafreeland about the takeover of the Canadian trucking industry by reckless drivers from Punjab. This is a threat to road safety on both sides of the border. How many Canadians and Americans have to die before we put an end to it?” Bernier tweeted on Sunday.

Doug Ford is blaming young people for a lack of jobs. Perhaps Ford needs to try harder to create them

Friar Ford offers career advice to the youngsters

Premier Doug Ford thinks young people need to work harder.

“It drives me nuts when I see young, healthy people and they’ll call me saying, ‘I can’t find a job,’” Ford said earlier this week during a speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade. “I assure you, if you look hard enough, it … may be in fast food or something else, but you’ll find a job.”

But Ford’s “old man yells at cloud” take on Gen Z’s economic plight couldn’t be more detached from reality. What Canadian youth really need isn’t better work ethic. It’s political leaders willing to work harder for them — or, at the very least, not against them.

Poilievre demands ‘tearful apology’ from former liberal ministers over immigration

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians deserve a “tearful apology” from former Liberal immigration ministers for wrecking the immigration system and driving up pressure on housing, jobs and social services.

“Sean Fraser and Marc Miller, they should give a tearful apology,” Poilievre told reporters. “That’s the only thing they have left to do on the immigration file.”

If Ottawa can’t measure immigration, it can’t manage it

Governments that concentrate decision-making at the centre have trouble tackling more than a few issues at a time, and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is unlikely to be an exception.

There’s been an understandable focus on preserving trade relations with the U.S., building ties with the rest of the world, and advancing new projects to strengthen the economy. These have consumed the government’s time, interest and intellectual bandwidth.

But the government can’t ignore other big issues that are top of mind for Canadians. Crime is one; the Conservatives are talking about it because voters are, and with reason. Another is immigration.

Carney’s next big test is solving immigration concerns

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is contemplating its immigration targets for the next three years. It should heed the wishes of most Canadians and make drastic cuts.

In its first failure to take Canadians’ immigration concerns seriously, Carney’s government has already exceeded this year’s targets for temporary foreign workers. But another test rapidly approaches. Immigration Minister Lena Diab is expected to announce the government’s immigration targets for the next three years. Most Canadians — native-born and immigrant alike — want less immigration. The government needs to make a sharp U-turn now and heed the public’s wishes.

Eby spoke the truth on the immigration causing his fellow NDP’ers to have a shit hemorrhage.

B.C. Premier David Eby faces internal backlash from usual commies over immigration comments

B.C. Premier David Eby is facing pushback after linking Canada’s temporary foreign worker program to high youth unemployment and strains on social services, with New Democrats calling his remarks out of step with party values.

In response to a question about provincial belt-tightening at an unrelated news conference last week, Mr. Eby noted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s call for Ottawa to axe the program and said it was a timely issue that should be considered.


Truth hurts.

Dougie Ford’s pals luv temporary foreign workers

Ford government declines to say if temporary foreign worker program should end

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says young people aren’t looking “hard enough” for work in the province and suggested unemployed people should consider “fast food” as a potential job choice.

At the same time, the Ford government has declined to take a position on whether the federal government should eliminate the temporary foreign worker program, which other Canadian premiers have suggested is one of the root causes of the country’s employment woes.
