Oh Shut Up.

Oh Shut Up.

Thousands of temporary residents are being squeezed out by Canada’s shifting immigration reality. Here’s what the country could lose

They’ve spent months and years living, studying and working toward the Canadian dream, once touted as the “economic engine” for this country’s post-COVID-19 recovery and future growth.

But after all their toil to build a new life here, their journeys have stalled.

An IT specialist, a special-needs teacher, an engineer with two master’s degrees: They’re among hundreds of thousands of temporary residents who have been left in limbo by Canada’s immigration pivot.

And the latest immigrant Sob Story from CTV – 28 seems a bit “old” for a youth and I doubt he was even born in Canada.

The Media is busy working the immigration scam on behalf of their paymaster.

SEND THEM HOME.

Keystone XL Rebranded as “Keystone Light” in Trump’s Push for North American Energy Security

Keystone XL Rebranded as “Keystone Light” in Trump’s Push for North American Energy Security

The project’s goal was to expand the pipeline system’s capacity by allowing the transport of up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day over a distance of approximately 1,210 miles. The aim was to provide a more direct route for Canadian oil, and provisions were included for adding American-produced oil from the Bakken formation in Montana and North Dakota.

The last time we reported on this Keystone XL, President Donald Trump was promising to revive the project “on day one.”

Barbara Kay: The October 7 trials are coming

Barbara Kay: The October 7 trials are coming

Israel’s kinetic war against Hamas has been successful. Although still defiant, Hamas is a shadow of its pre-October 7 self. The possibility of an October 7 reprisal is forever nil. But Hamas and their supporters are winning the equally important battle for hearts and minds in demonizing Israel and Jews.

Their toxic flow of accusations — settler colonialism, apartheid and, above all, genocide in Gaza — have never been interrogated in a court of actual law. But they will be. As alpha Israeli journalist Amit Segal recently reported in his daily newsletter, It’s Noon in Israel, “Oct 7 launched the propaganda war, but the trial of the perpetrators will put the propagandists on trial.”

Ten weeks stuck in the Strait of Hormuz: how sailors are surviving

Ten weeks stuck in the Strait of Hormuz: how sailors are surviving

In 1759, Samuel Johnson wrote: “No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.” Certainly being a sailor then was dangerous too, with privateering and piracy rife. But being a sailor in the Arabian Gulf in 2026 is, according to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that even Johnson could not expect.

No one knows what mental toll will be exacted by the enforced imprisonment of 20,000 seafarers on board 2,000 vessels trapped either side of the Strait of Hormuz for the past ten weeks. “I have seen Iranian drones and missiles flying at low altitude,” one stuck seafarer told the Seafarers’ Happiness Index, a project led by the Mission to Seafarers, an industry welfare association. “I also hear the sound of fighter jets, but we can’t identify which country they belong to.

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney must kill Justin Trudeau’s anti-growth agenda

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney must kill Justin Trudeau’s anti-growth agenda

If Prime Minister Mark Carney seriously wants to address Canada’s number one economic crisis – low productivity – he must scrap the anti-growth environmental polices of the Justin Trudeau government.

His major political opponents will be Trudeau-era Liberals and environmental activists, including the radical green groups Trudeau incorporated into his government.

The UFO community has been waiting for answers. Has the Pentagon delivered?

The UFO community has been waiting for answers. Has the Pentagon delivered?

One California grandmother has been waiting for answers since she was a child and her mother spotted a UFO hovering while she hung clothes out to dry. A therapist in Texas has been an “experiencer” since childhood. And another Lone Star resident, a 36-year-old musician, has been delving into the extraterrestrial world since he learned about an incident not far from his hometown.

All of them on Friday, like the rest of the “UFO community,” were waiting with bated breath for what was touted by the US government as a historic moment: The first release of never-before-seen files about unidentified anomalous phenomena, a trove of 162 documents including images, details and, enthusiasts hope, a step towards further transparency – and answers about what’s “out there”.

Buy Canadian Policy allows fully foreign-owned firms to qualify as ‘Canadian

Buy Canadian Policy allows fully foreign-owned firms to qualify as ‘Canadian

Ottawa’s much-touted “Buy Canadian” policy does not require companies to be Canadian-owned, allowing even 100% foreign-owned firms to qualify for federal contracts, according to newly disclosed records.

Blacklock’s Reporter says documents from the Department of Public Works show the definition of a “Canadian supplier” under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policy is based on operational presence rather than ownership, meaning multinational corporations with a minimal footprint in Canada can still be deemed Canadian.

Labour’s worst disaster ever

Labour’s worst disaster ever

Keir Starmer is desperately fighting to subdue a Labour revolt tonight after a local elections bloodbath saw the party routed on English councils, and destroyed in Wales and Scotland.

Loyalist ministers and MPs have been deployed in a frantic bid to prop up the PM, after a series of backbenchers broke cover to demand his resignation.

So far no Cabinet ministers have publicly joined the mutiny – a moment that many believe would be the final nail in Sir Keir’s coffin.

Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith loses nomination race for provincial byelection in Scarborough

“There was a ton of scrutineers in there, lots of stories about what’s happened inside, but I’ve got to debrief,” he said in the rainy parking lot of the school where the voting took place, after initially trying to dodge reporters.

“I’ve spoken to a few scrutineers already who said they’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s unreal what happened in there.”

AOC claims American Revolution was fight against ‘billionaires’ as critics school her on actual history

“Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under fire for radically rewriting history by claiming the American Revolution was all about fighting against “billionaires” — similar to the fight she and other fellow socialists are waging on capitalism.

“The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time, and we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and the state,” claimed a clueless Ocasio-Cortez during an appearance Friday at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics with longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod.

Pierre Poilievre encounters nothing but jerks, all day long

Pierre Poilievre encounters nothing but jerks, all day long

There’s an expression I heard years ago that I try to keep in mind for perspective on days when it feels like everyone in the world has been sent specifically to annoy and oppose me.

The original version used naughty language, but I’ll clean it up for the sake of this venerable newspaper. It goes like this: If you wake up in the morning and meet a jerk, you’ve met one jerk. If all you meet all day long are jerks, then perhaps you are the problem.

The media want desperately for Poilievre to fail. Can’t imagine why.

Iran questions US commitment to peace after tanker attacks

Iran questions US commitment to peace after tanker attacks

Iran has questioned the seriousness of American peace efforts after naval clashes in the Gulf.

Tehran is keeping Washington waiting for a response to its latest negotiating position, which had been expected on Friday evening.

On Saturday, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, called into question the reliability of the US leadership, in a phone call with his Turkish counterpart.

According to the Iranian ISNA news agency, he said: “The recent escalation of tensions by American forces in the Persian Gulf and their numerous actions in violating the ceasefire have added to suspicions about the motivation and seriousness of the American side in the path of diplomacy.”

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Speaking to a room of progressive policy experts in Toronto Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered some insight into what Canada has offered up ahead of an official review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this summer.

“Canada remains open to deeper integration,” said Carney, whose government has so far signaled it is in no rush to negotiate a new deal.

“Like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper integration, including options for fortress North America in (certain) sectors. And to be clear, those offers are on the table,” said the prime minister.

Pretty sure he can’t remember all his lies anymore.
