Chow says Toronto will face a $107M shortfall if feds don’t provide more funding for refugee supports

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is speaking out after recently learning that the federal government plans to only provide a quarter of the funding the city requires to cover the costs of providing interim housing for refugees and asylum seekers.

In a letter addressed to her City Council colleagues, Chow said the feds notified the City of Toronto that they would be paying out only 26 per cent of what Toronto projects to spend on shelter costs for refugees and asylum seekers in 2025.

In the note, Chow suggests that the shortfall amounts to a “cut.”

We are governed by Monsters who hate us.

Immigration raid in New Jersey results in dozens of warehouse workers detained

Dozens of immigrant workers were detained at a warehouse in New Jersey on Wednesday, in the latest federal raid as part of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) descended on the warehouse, in Edison, New Jersey, at 9am on Wednesday, the New York Times reported. Officers led some workers away in zip ties, employees told the Times, while people they deemed to have legal status in the US were given yellow wristbands.

Univision reported that the agents spent hours at the facility, during what CBP said was a “surprise inspection”. CBP told Univision the operation had begun as part of “routine efforts” to verify customs, employment and safety regulations.

Sweden Democrats: Fix Broken Health System for Swedes, Not Gazans

Swedish citizens are constantly being let down by their health care system. But rather than focus on improving services for their voters, establishment figures are considering plans that would place them under further strain.

Health Minister Acko Ankarberg Johansson said on Monday that the government does not rule out transporting Gazans to Sweden and treating them there, an idea supported by the opposition. But already, Swedish hospitals are being closed down, and their patients sent to overcrowded facilities, with women from six regions having to travel up to 300 km to give birth.

Epping migrant hotel to close following weeks of protest after resident was charged with sexual assault

Migrants are set to be moved out of a controversial asylum hotel after a council was granted a injunction to shut it down.

Council leaders won the first stage of their battle close the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, on planning permission grounds after it became an epicentre of anti-immigration protests, including some which turned violent.

The demonstrations were sparked when a migrant living at the hotel was charged with a series of sexual offences, including some against a 14-year-old girl.


A victory but a small one, the UK needs new leaders, more Trump less 3rd world chump.

Shocking footage shows illegal-migrant driver make outrageous rogue U-turn, killing 3

Terrifying video shows the moment a minivan ploughed into a tractor-trailer making an outrageous rogue U-turn on a Florida highway last week — with all three people in the van killed and the truck’s illegal-migrant driver charged with homicide.

The roadway horror happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce when the tractor-trailer driven by suspect Harjinder Singh made a hard left turn across the highway and attempted to cross the median through an “Official Use Only” pass, authorities said.

Family paid smugglers to reunite after separation by CBSA at Quebec border

A Haitian family was separated at the Quebec-U.S. border this spring due to what an immigration lawyer calls a “legal glitch” some fear could become a wider problem as more migrants flee the United States into Canada.

The family attempted to enter Canada at the official land crossing in Lacolle, Que., in March, according to immigration documents.

They are not in danger in the United States, we have no obligation to accept any of them.

Syrians in Austria Deliberately Fail German-Language Exams To Stay on Welfare

A new report on Syrian refugees in Austria has ignited political controversy after suggesting that some migrants are deliberately failing the exam after completing German courses to avoid low-paying jobs.

The findings, published in daily Kronen Zeitung and based on the Austrian Labour Market Service’s (AMS) study, have prompted sharp criticism from opposition politicians, particularly the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).

‘British women and girls are paying the price for Labour’s lax immigration laws’

This Isn’t Compassion. It’s State-Sponsored Danger.

You can’t claim to protect women while placing unvetted illegal migrant men, whose criminal histories are completely unknown, into our towns and villages.

These aren’t refugees or tourists. They are men of fighting age, arriving without documentation, placed in communities at taxpayer expense, while British families struggle under soaring taxes.

The Death of the Night Out

Generation Z is often maligned as a ‘homebody generation.’ Battered by the rising cost of living and stunted by the COVID-19 pandemic, today’s youth would seemingly rather sit at home, scrolling and focussing on ‘self-care’ than socialising with friends. They prefer matcha lattes and Pilates to wild nights out.

The impact of this is being felt across Western Europe. In France, 70% of nightclubs have shut down since the 1980s. In Amsterdam and Barcelona, venues are calling last orders much earlier than they used to. And in formerly lively Berlin, you’re now just as likely to get chucked out at 10 p.m. as 4 a.m. The UK, too, has lost around 400 clubs—more than a third—in the last five years alone. In London specifically, a city once world-renowned for its vibrant nightlife and music scene, just 6% of venues open past 2 a.m.

Trump administration weighing refugee cap of 40,000 with focus on white South Africans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is discussing a refugee admissions cap of around 40,000 for the coming year with a majority allocated to white South Africans, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter and an internal refugee program email, reflecting a major shift in the U.S. approach to refugees.

We need a Trump. Why can’t Canada stop being run by Marxist crooks and lunatics?

$50,000 Signing Bonus, No Age Caps: The Blitz to Hire ICE Officers

Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative.

A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to “deport illegals with your absolute boys,” a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE’s ranks.

Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism

DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.

A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.

“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”
