Feds expect 4.9 million with expiring visas to ‘voluntarily’ leave Canada in next year

With almost five million temporary permits expected to expire over the next year, the feds expect them to leave voluntarily.

So said Immigration Minister Marc Miller to the Commons immigration committee when confronted with that number by Conservative MP Tom Kmiec, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“There are many ways that people leave the country,” said Miller. “The vast majority leave voluntarily. That is what is expected.”

They lie so casually.

Sixty British troops deployed to investigate drones over US airbases

Dozens of British troops have been deployed to locations across the country to try to discover who is responsible for flying drones over US air force bases amid concerns it could be part of a “sinister” plot.

A small number of drones have again been spotted flying near US air force bases in the UK after a number were seen over three bases last week.

Around 60 UK military personnel have been deployed to provide the US with assistance, according to a defence source speaking to The Times.

The Canadian system of government is a sanctimocracy: rule by the holier-than-thou

Justin Trudeau Smarmy Prick

… A diagnosis of anxiety fits his own government, too. Mr Trudeau and his party have traversed an arc from heroic to hapless during nine years in office, and today are despised by many in Canada. … A letter has been circulating among Liberal MPs calling upon Mr Trudeau to resign.

Majority of Canadian MPs vote for proposal recommending hard drug decriminalization

Canada may be one step closer to decriminalizing hard drugs as the majority of MPs voted in favor of a proposal recommending the move.

According to information published November 25 by Blacklock’s Reporter, MPs voted 210 to 117 in favor of a proposal recommending the decriminalizing of the simple possession of heroin, cocaine and all other illegal drugs across Canada. While the proposal is non-binding, it could point to how MPs would vote on a future bill seeking to augment the law.

Russian deserter reveals war secrets of guarding nuclear base

On the day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Anton says the nuclear weapons base he was serving at was put on full combat alert.

“Before that, we had only exercises. But on the day the war started, the weapons were fully in place,” says the former officer in the Russian nuclear forces. “We were ready to launch the forces into the sea and air and, in theory, carry out a nuclear strike.”

I met Anton in a secret location outside Russia. For his own protection, the BBC will not reveal where. We have also changed his name and are not showing his face.

They’re STILL Counting Votes, but Four Million Are Still Missing

The presidential election of 2024 was three weeks ago, but as of Tuesday morning, New Jersey has still counted only 91% of the votes that were cast (or something) there. California and Oregon have only gotten around to counting 93%. And so, several times a day, the popular vote totals for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue to be adjusted. Trump still has a comfortable lead, but Harris has (surprise, surprise) been steadily narrowing that lead. On what is quaintly still referred to as Election Day, Trump’s popular vote lead was about 4.5 million; now it’s down to 2.4 million and decreasing, but should still hold. The real question is: What happened to the four million voters who turned out for Old Joe Biden in 2020 but were nowhere to be found in 2024.

Freeland says we’re in a ‘vibe-cession’ and she’s got the cure

OTTAWA — Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday that she hopes her government’s proposed GST holiday will help bridge the gap between Canada’s macroeconomic picture and historically stressed-out households by bringing good vibes to the latter.

“People have been talking about a ‘vibecession’… and the fact that Canadians just aren’t feeling that good,” Freeland told reporters at a press conference in Ottawa to promote the temporary sales-tax reprieve. “That’s shaping their economic behaviour in ways that are not great for the Canadian economy.”
