Absolutely clueless Doug Ford tells unemployed young people seeking work to look harder

Young people who can’t find work aren’t looking “hard enough,” Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday, less than a week after Statistics Canada reported Ontario shed 26,000 jobs in August — the most of any province.

The remarks during a breakfast speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade earned the premier rebukes from opposition party leaders, who accused him of being out of touch with a tough job market as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs take a toll on the economy.

“It drives me nuts when I see young, healthy people and they’ll call me saying, ‘I can’t find a job,’” Ford told the crowd. “I assure you, if you look hard enough, it … may be in fast food or something else, but you’ll find a job.”

What a pig.

How Quebec and Ontario are being left out of Liberal immigration reductions

As the Carney government seeks to curb the sky-high immigration levels hit in the aftermath of COVID-19, any reduction in permanent residents is mostly happening thanks to Ottawa slashing the number of refugees being offered upgraded immigration status.

Also, the immigration cuts are mostly happening in regions outside of Ontario and Quebec, with both those provinces still mostly on track to dodge the reduced immigration targets pledged last year by the Liberals.

Yes, Canada should (mostly) end our temporary foreign worker programs

The Conservatives are right: The Temporary Foreign Worker program mostly should not exist.

But the Conservatives are also missing something: the Temporary Foreign Worker program, or TFW, is only a small part − in fact the smallest part – of Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs.

44% of Canadians Want to End Temporary Foreign Worker Program, 30% Disagree: Poll

Canadians are divided on whether Ottawa should eliminate its temporary foreign worker program, although the scales tip in favour of scrapping the program, a new survey suggests.

Forty-four percent of Canadians said they support a recent proposal by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to phase out the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) while 30 percent are opposed to such a move, a survey from Abacus Data found. An additional 18 percent of those polled said they were either neutral or undecided on the subject.

Is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Canada’s Next Big Political Wedge?

A fresh Abacus Data poll reveals a nation divided over the fate of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

With 44 percent of Canadians supporting its elimination compared with 30 percent firmly opposed and 18 percent neutral or undecided, the proposal is proving to be more than a policy debate.


The bottom line for me is that Corporate Canada and the LPC cannot be trusted to act in our best interests.

They conspired to flood Canada with unskilled immigrants from incompatible cultures without a thought to the harm this would cause to the social and economic well being of Canadians.

Their greed driven actions created a  vote bloc to harvest and a false boost in GDP for the LPC to brag about while simultaneously providing the leverage necessary for the business class to depress wages and profit from the shortages that resulted.

You and your children can’t find a job? Fck you!

You and your children can’t afford rent never mind a mortgage? Fck you!

You and your children can’t find a doctor? Fck you!

You and your children threatened by migrant crime? Fck you!

Homeless shelters and foodbanks overrun by the LPC’s migrant hordes? Fck you!

And the topper? If you complain you’re a racist. Fck you!

This is the way it is. They do not care about me, they do not care about you. They are not to trusted.

Death to all Tyrants and the TFW.

The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory.

BARCLAY: The destabilizing effects of Liberal migration policies in Canada

When diversity becomes dogma. The policies driving Canada toward decline.

For nearly a decade, the Liberal government has imposed a bevy of hyper-liberal migration policies upon the Canadian people, in an effort to forcibly inject abject diversity within the Canadian state.

Unfortunately, diversity is, at best, merely the symptom of a healthy, productive, state or nation, and never a viable end unto itself.

Middle England is radicalising, and the rest of the world is watching

For many protesters in York and Leeds, waving the national flag is not a mark of extremism. They simply want to keep their communities safe

York has long been defined by postcard charm. Cobbled streets, medieval walls, a bustling university and steady tourist influx made it a place associated with heritage and Harry Potter, not hard politics. But York has now become a battle ground for Britain’s growing migration debate, overwriting the city’s storybook image. What was once a byword for stability now reads as a warning: Middle England is learning the politics of confrontation.

Canada’s immigration consensus is shattering. Here’s why

A long-standing political consensus in Canada is breaking down before our eyes. For decades, immigration policy was a rare point of agreement among the major parties, characterized by a shared commitment to high levels of permanent, citizenship-focused immigration. But that era is over. The catalyst for this rupture is the massive expansion of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), a policy that has now become a flashpoint for debates about economic fairness, corporate power, and the very meaning of Canadian values.

‘Generation screwed’: With the dismal youth employment numbers, Poilievre found a wide-open lane and pulled in

Being leader of the opposition is a little like being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 401.

You’re boxed in. Options are limited. And any “creative” manoeuvres usually lead to pileups.

So when a lane opens up — a clear stretch of political laneway — you don’t ask questions. You step on the gas.


The Elbow people in voting LPC and NDP destroyed their own children’s future by supporting Corporate Canada’s callous greed and abuse of immigration.

Jamie Sarkonak: The TFW program came for youth jobs. Now Poilievre is coming for it

The “immigrants are taking our jobs” line used to be dismissed as a xenophobic trope, stigmatized in Canadian politics with such intensity that it lulled the population into a decade-plus sleep even as wages stagnated. But it’s turned out to be completely true — and only the Conservatives are coming up with solutions to the problem.

On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre and immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner announced their proposal to scrap the temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, which in 2023 authorized nearly 240,000 foreigners to work in Canada. This, we’re told, is only the beginning: Rempel Garner promises that more proposals are in the works.

The Star Celebrates The 3rd World Dumpster Fire On Your Doorstep

Ridgeway Plaza is a problem other cities can only dream of having. Here’s how to stop it from becoming a nightmare

Arriving at Ridgeway Plaza is strange. It’s like a downtown but located on the edge of town. Crowds, commerce, and life all in a place meant to be much quieter.

So much so that Mississauga is trying to curtail it, but it’s a problem of the city’s own making: designing cities almost exclusively for cars quickly becomes trouble.

Ridgeway Plaza has become a phenomenon, attracting people from across the GTA and North America to a series of strip malls that offer a variety of restaurants and shops primarily, but not exclusively, Middle Eastern and South Asian. It’s the multicultural Canadian dream at its most vibrant, but it’s clashing with another Canadian dream: car driving.

Government refuses to release data on how many ‘temporary’ migrants leave Canada

This is what Carney and his predator pal Wiseman have in store for you.

The Canada Border Services Agency is refusing to release data on how many international students & temporary foreign workers actually leave the country when their permits expire.


Meanwhile the US gets the job done.

B.C. premier wants temporary foreign worker program cancelled or reformed

In a surprise statement, Premier David Eby called for the end of Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program — blaming Ottawa’s flawed immigration policies for filling up homeless shelters and food banks.

“The temporary foreign worker program is not working. It should be cancelled or significantly reformed,” Eby said during an unrelated announcement in Surrey, B.C., Thursday.

“We can’t have an immigration system that fills up our homeless shelters and our food banks. We can’t have an immigration system that outpaces our ability to build schools and housing. And we can’t have an immigration program that results in high youth unemployment.


Doug Ford loves the TFW program. Corporate welfare is the God Given right of the ruling class in Dougie’s world.

Chris Selley: Who’s against Canadian jobs for Canadian kids instead of for foreign workers?

Youth unemployment stands at 14.6 per cent, according to Statistics Canada’s latest release. That’s the highest non-pandemic July figure since 2009 (15.9 per cent), at the nadir of the Great Recession. It makes nothing but good sense that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would position himself, as he did on Wednesday, foursquare athwart bringing in any more temporary foreign workers to fill positions that certain employers swear blind they cannot fill with younger Canadians at any conceivable price.


The first time abuse of the TFW program made news a way back in 2014 it was discovered that Tim Horton’s actually built imported slaves into their business plan.

Tim Hortons: The Canadian icon Canadians won’t work for

Last week, the CEO of Tim Hortons laid out part of his case for why the chain needs to be able to hire temporary foreign workers. This is what Marc Caira told Bloomberg News: “If you don’t have access to some of the foreign workers where they are required, it will ultimately also impact on the Canadians that work in that area, because we can’t really deliver on the promise that we want in terms of delivering quality service.”

Translation: Let us import these workers, or the double-double gets it.

Poilievre’s call to scrap the temporary foreign worker program is a good first step

Today, the federal Conservatives announced their intention, should they form government, to abolish the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). They also challenged the governing Liberals to do so immediately. We believe that this is a much-needed change of policy, for the simple reason that Canadian jobs should go to Canadians.

Yet abolishing the TFWP would only be a step in the right direction because it’s not the only immigration stream that allows foreign nationals access to our labour market in large numbers. It’s not the only stream that prices young Canadians out of the job market, suppresses wages, and is rife with abuse. The spirit of reform must ultimately extend more broadly.
