Carney government’s new immigration policy for foreign workers a tough sell to Canadians

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is rewriting the rules of its economic immigration system to favour foreign workers in well-paid occupations, allowing employers to bypass looking at the Canadian talent pool first. Returning to a merit-based point system for high-skilled immigrants is a shift economists have long urged after years of high-volume, low-wage intake, but the latest policy change could cause controversy with Canadians given current polling trends.

What Carney tells reporters in French "We want to arrive at sustainable immigration levels. Well, we’ll see"

"Quebec is distinct, it’s unique because of its culture, its language and other aspects of its nature. So it’s appropriate in the case of Quebec." @MarkJCarney https://t.co/OHmJtP1Rai

California’s Bullet Train Boondoggle

In 2008, California voters approved funding for a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A group of contractors donated tens of thousands of dollars to support the ballot measure. A state program manager projected that the initiative would create more than 100,000 construction jobs.

Eighteen years and more than $15 billion later, not a single mile of high-speed track has been laid. The state hasn’t even laid track on the rump Merced-Bakersfield line that it wants to open in the 2030s. In a recently resurfaced video from his time as lieutenant governor, Gavin Newsom said the full project was unlikely to “materialize in our lifetime.”

Canada’s Alto boondoggle will follow this plan.

No Way! China Wants to Visit U.S. Nuclear Weapons Labs

China’s officials this year proposed to the Trump administration reciprocal visits to nuclear sites.

Specifically, the Chinese discussed visits to U.S. Department of Energy national labs. The U.S., a source told CNN, “would be open to discussing visits to nuclear testing sites.”

Unfortunately, China’s initiative looks suspect, and talks should not proceed until Beijing is ready to engage the United States meaningfully.

Amy Hamm: Galloway’s accuser pledged to ‘destroy’ him, ex-husband testifies

The woman who accused bestselling author and former University of British Columbia (UBC) professor Steven Galloway of rape was sexting with her (now) ex-husband throughout the night of one of the alleged assaults.

Galloway’s accuser and former affair partner, known only as A.B. due to a publication ban, claimed to have been assaulted in Galloway’s office at UBC on May 5, 2011. Her ex-husband testified in B.C. Supreme Court Monday, that he and A.B. messaged back and forth the whole night. Several of these text messages, which were shown in court, were sexual in nature.

This is brutal.

Green Group Already Under Scrutiny Honors Leader of Foundation That Gave Millions to China-Linked Entities

An environmental group facing scrutiny for its ties to China honored a leader of a major left-leaning grantmaking foundation that has given millions of dollars to China-connected entities.

The Environmental Law Institute on Tuesday honored Julie Packard, vice chair of the board of trustees for the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, with its 2026 Environmental Achievement Award. Packard’s group has funded a range of Chinese institutions including universities scrutinized by Congress, a public foundation, and a research institute.

They’re everwhere.

New poll shows deadlock between Red-Green alliance candidate Chow and Bradford days before Toronto election

New polling just days before Toronto’s mayoral election shows Brad Bradford and Olivia Chow are locked in a narrowing race prior to election day on Oct. 26.

Several polls put Bradford the challenger slightly ahead of Chow the incumbent. Others still place her ahead of Bradford, indicating there is no clear favourite, according to research firms that publish the polls.

A new Liaison Strategies survey released Wednesday puts Bradford at 49 per cent support and Chow at 47 per cent among decided and leaning voters, with three per cent choosing someone else.

LILLEY: Desperate Chow turns to scare tactics as Bradford surges

If you doubt the polls showing Brad Bradford overtaking Olivia Chow, just watch Chow. She’s campaigning like someone who’s behind.

The desperation radiating from the Chow campaign grows by the day — wild claims, nothing but negativity. That’s not how front-runners campaign, and it tells me her internal numbers are likely worse than the public ones.

Ilhan Omar reemerges to beg supporters for cash as probe into her immigration status intensifies

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) raised her head to beg for more cash as she vowed to return to the campaign trail and fight the federal investigation into her immigration status.

The lefty “Squad” member posted a minute-long video from the back of a car Tuesday night as she continues to lay low since her home was searched as part of the sprawling federal probe.

She thanked her supporters for sending donations that she said would help “fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many other people right before the midterm elections.”

Slowing economy will mean more red ink and debt costs for Carney’s budget, PBO says

OTTAWA — The Canadian economy will slow to a crawl over the coming months, which will lead the Carney government to increase both its borrowing and interest payments more than what was expected just four months ago, Ottawa’s fiscal watchdog said Tuesday in a new report.

With the federal budget scheduled for Nov. 5, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) added to the government’s fiscal squeeze by projecting that the Canadian economy will grow this calendar year by just 0.9 per cent and 1.5 per cent in 2027, down from the 1.1 per cent and 1.6 per cent that were forecast just four months ago. The slower growth is primarily a function of the Canada-United States trade war escalation that started in June.

We asked Chrystia Freeland how Canada should handle Trump’s trade threats. Here’s her advice

Canada should treat the ongoing trade war with the United States as a “pandemic-level national crisis,” said Chrystia Freeland said at a talk Monday night to promote her new book.

The former finance minister and deputy prime minister urged the federal government to work to protect the economy as it did during the COVID-19 pandemic, by supporting small businesses and the residents most hard-hit by tariffs. (In August, the government announced $7.5 billion in tariff relief, including support for small businesses and money for workers laid off because of tariffs.)

“What I hope we do as a country, is treat this as a pandemic-level national crisis,” she said.

I hope Trump sanctions her.
