How America can survive low immigration

How America can survive low immigration

… Conventional wisdom tells us that immigration is always good for the economy. But countries such as Britain and Germany have recently managed to combine historic levels of immigration with stagnant growth. The Econ 101 crowd may be sticking to a textbook that is badly out of date. But one point is clear: If you are going to slash the number of migrants, you need to make sure your existing population is working as hard as possible.


Canada is as bad as England or Germany. The Liberal party has lied about the economic benefit of mass immigration by focusing on GDP as opposed to GDP per capita which is a truer measure of a nation’s wealth.

The LPC  like their Democrat counterparts criminally exploited Canada’s immigration policy to line their pockets and skew voter demographics in their favour.

This ‘New Government’ has no interest in arresting our economic decline

This ‘New Government’ has no interest in arresting our economic decline

If you have been wondering what meaning to attach to that irritating phrase the Carney Liberals use to describe themselves, “Canada’s New Government” – which was irritating enough when it was first employed, under Stephen Harper, when it was actually a new government – wonder no longer. As this Spring Economic Update makes abundantly clear, it means nothing whatever. Or next to nothing.

Coyne sounds near sane!

Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla near Crete and detains 175 activists

Pro-Palestinian activists say at least 22 boats from a flotilla carrying aid for Gaza have been intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters near the Greek island of Crete.

The organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) denounced the action as “piracy”, saying those on board had been seized unlawfully more than 965km (600 miles) from Gaza, which is under an Israeli naval blockade.

The Israeli foreign ministry said about 175 activists from more than 20 boats had been detained and were being transported to Israel. It dismissed the flotilla as a “PR stunt”.

UK to create alliance of ‘northern navies’ to counter Russian threat

Britain and its allies will forge a new partnership of “northern navies” comprising ships and drones ready to take on Russia, the first sea lord has announced.

In a speech at the Royal United Services Institute, General Sir Gwyn Jenkins said the UK was “at an inflection point” and “there is no time to lose” as he set out plans to bolster defences in northwest Europe and the High North.

Jenkins, the first Royal Marine to be appointed head of the navy, said: “The need to rearm and improve this country’s readiness for war has become an absolute necessity. Just maintaining the ‘capable status quo’ is simply not good enough. We are at an inflection point.”


No mention of Canada.

Doug Ford’s PCs now in statistical tie with Liberals amid jet fallout: poll

The Ontario government’s decision to purchase and later return a $28.9-million private jet appears to have created turbulence for Premier Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservatives.

According to a new poll by Liaison Strategies, for the first time in its monthly provincial tracking, the PCs trail the Ontario Liberal Party by two percentage points among decided and leaning voters.

The Liberals, which do not have a permanent leader at this time, have the support of 38 per cent of decided and leaning voters while the Tories are in second place at 36 per cent.
