Canada spent $78 million deporting 18,000 people in 2024 — the most since Stephen Harper … in a very loose sense
Canada has spent more than $78 million deporting over 18,000 people in the 2024-25 fiscal year, the most since the government of Stephen Harper, according to data obtained by the Star from the Canada Border Services Agency.
The vast majority of those deported have been asylum seekers whose refugee claims have been rejected, the data says.
The surge comes as the federal government tightens immigration targets and limits new international student permits, a shift that experts say is likely to fuel a rise in deportations as hundreds of thousands of temporary residents face shrinking pathways to permanent status and as a “regularization program” for undocumented migrants, initially promised by the Trudeau government, remains stalled.
… The deportation level in 2024 was the highest since 2012, when more than 19,000 people were removed under Harper’s Conservative government. Deportations include all removals enforced in a given fiscal year, including refugee claimants as well as those living, working or studying in Canada who have overstayed their legal status.
The Star wants you to believe Carney is deporting failed asylum seekers at the same rate as Harper!
But the Star commits a sin of omission failing to point out Harper outperformed Carney by a huge margin based on the total number of asylum seekers each administration has faced.
Google AI – How many asylum seekers did Canada receive in the year 2024 vs. 2012?
In 2024, Canada received approximately 190,000 new asylum claims, a significant increase compared to the 20,500 applications received in 2012.

The Overton Window Reframed
In the days following the Bondi attack, a noticeable shift occurred in Australian public conversation. People began saying out loud what they had previously learned to say only in private: blunt questions about immigration, social cohesion, public safety, and cultural limits. The striking feature was not that these views were new, but that they were suddenly being expressed without apology. Journalists and politicians appeared unsettled, not by the substance of the questions, but by the fact that they were now being asked openly.
What changed was not belief, but permission.
No Tears for the End of the American Empire
Trump’s NSS ends endless American interventions — and the pundits are furious.
When I clicked on the website of The American Spectator Saturday morning and began to read Matthew Omolesky’s lament for the end of the American empire, I thought for a moment that I mistakenly accessed the Council on Foreign Relations’ journal Foreign Affairs or The Economist, which specialize in Trump-bashing and genuflecting at the so-called “rules-based international order.” Then, a friend sent me Fareed Zakaria’s latest column in the Washington Post about Trump making America “small” again. President Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy, which prioritizes U.S. national security interests and seeks to get America out of the protectorate business, has upset the Wilsonians and neoconservatives among us who weep for the end of U.S. global hegemony.

Pakistan in Gaza: Jihad on Steroids
Pakistan, it seems, has stepped forward, selflessly offering to be part of US President Donald J. Trump’s proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) in the Gaza Strip. “We’re very grateful to Pakistan for their offer to be part of it, or at least their offer to consider being a part of it,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on December 20.
Seizure of $2 million: Montreal man challenging Quebec forfeiture law
Levy, who has no criminal record, was never charged with any offence related to the money. His lawyers argue it was obtained legitimately.
A Montreal man is challenging the constitutionality of Quebec’s civil forfeiture law after police seized more than $2 million in cash from his home, but never charged him with any crime.
Lawyers for André Levy argue a provision of the law, which presumes cash sums of $2,000 or more are the proceeds of illegal activity except in certain circumstances, violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and are seeking the return of the money.
Why British Jews are experiencing their biggest change in 60 years
“It’s been an incredibly difficult two years,” says Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. “I think our Jewish identity is being worn far more heavily these days given the pain of it all.”
Conflict in the Middle East has, he says, had a profound impact on British Jewish society.
“The attacks of 7 October were felt very personally, not least because there were British Jews who were killed in the initial onslaught and people with British connections held hostage.
“And in the war that followed, the devastation in Gaza was very painful to watch. Then there was the vitriol that surrounded the whole conflict, and the massive rise in antisemitism culminating in deadly attacks.”
Here’s what you need to know about the B.C. oil tanker moratorium
For years, oil tanker traffic has been prohibited off the waters of northern British Columbia in order to protect environmentally sensitive coastlines from disaster.
But the federal government is now open to the idea of changing its moratorium.
The debate over the future of the tanker ban arose from Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in November that lays out the steps for a potential pipeline to carry oil from the Alberta to the Pacific coast.
Chicago Whacko Accused of Setting Human Torch on Train Had Tried to Light Off City Hall
In November, another of these horrific train-riding stories broke. Where an innocent person is just going about their business, trying to get home from work or whatever, and a monster strolls onto their car.
Who then randomly picks them as the target for some unimaginable act of inhuman cruelty.
Questions Mount Over Bail Status Of Accused In Project Neapolitan Terror And Hate Crime Case
TORONTO — Questions are growing over whether individuals accused in one of the most serious hate-motivated and terrorism-linked criminal cases in recent Canadian history have been released on bail, amid limited public disclosure and a court-imposed publication ban.
Project Neapolitan, a major joint investigation led by the Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police, and the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, resulted in the arrest of three Toronto men accused of targeting women and members of the Jewish community in armed kidnapping and hostage-taking attempts earlier this year.
Parents Decry Electric School Buses As Iceboxes in Winter
New York officials mandated that all school bus purchases be electric by 2027, and parents are already thoroughly disgusted with the purchases so far. Apparently, New York officials think they are saving the planet with buses that freeze kids like popsicles.
CHARLEBOIS: Canada didn’t regulate grocers — it lost faith in them
The Grocers’ Code of Conduct will come into force on Jan. 1, 2026. Within the agri-food industry, expectations are high. Among consumers, they are more restrained — and rightly so.
For food processors, the adoption of this code marks a pivotal moment. For years, they have warned of a growing imbalance in their commercial relationships with large grocery chains, whose market power has consolidated to the point of weakening the processing sector and limiting the ability of independent grocers to differentiate themselves. A weakened food processing sector means less innovation, fewer choices, and ultimately, less competition for consumers.
Rosie O‘Donnell Melts Down After Trump Adds His Name to the Kennedy Center: ‘It Needs to Be Removed from Office’
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell fled the U.S. and rushed to Ireland as soon as it became clear President Donald Trump would be returning to the White House. She has been shouting trans-Atlantic abuse at him ever since. The leftist stepped up again on the weekend and publicly announced her new nickname for Trump.
