More Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says

How did the Temporary Foreign Worker program come to be the scapegoat for all our ills?

Did you know that Canada has admitted more than 15 million temporary workers since 2015? Neither did I, until I read it on Twitter (X).

The post includes an “official government of Canada chart.” Sure enough, it shows the numbers admitted under three temporary work programs – not only the Temporary Foreign Worker program, but also the International Mobility Program, as well as study permits, which allow the bearers to work up to 24 hours a week – have grown from about 750,000 as of 2015 to 3.1 million in 2024.


So desperate he’ll cite one tweet made in error to justify his sycophancy to those who have abused Canada and Canadians through a horrid mass immigration scam.

Illegal Immigrants Finally Convicted Four Years After Raping 18-Year-Old Girl

The Bouches-du-Rhône juvenile court sentenced two men to long prison terms for the rape of an 18-year-old woman near the SNCF train station in Aix-en-Provence in December 2021.

“It’s a brutal rape par excellence,” said the victim’s lawyer, Maud Bertrand, to Le Figaro.

The court handed Mohamed Annabi, a 29-year-old Algerian, a 17-year sentence that includes a two-thirds security period, a permanent ban from French territory, and registration in the FIJAIS (automated judicial file for perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses). His accomplice, Amen-Allah Handiri, a 20-year-old Tunisian who was 17 at the time of the crime, received 15 years.

Rightwing influencer accompanied Ice agents during raids in Chicago

A rightwing influencer accompanied officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Chicago on Sunday as the agency ramps up arrests in the city. Ice agents arrested four people on the city’s south-west side.

Ben Bergquam, the rightwing internet personality, was with agents, filming and making content as well as getting into altercations with local residents along the way, according to a video the Guardian viewed on X. In the video, he appears to be in the car with Ice agents and nearby as they arrest people; later on he yells at a group of Chicagoans who are gathered to prevent Ice operations that they are “the enemy within”.

Because they are the enemy within.

Channel migrants in line for millions in compensation

Channel migrants are in line for millions of pounds in compensation from the Home Office for being “unlawfully” detained in “inhumane” conditions.

Almost 200 asylum seekers have lodged legal claims for their unlawful detention and mistreatment by the Home Office at the Manston migrant holding centre near Dover, citing the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Allegations include sexual assault, physical abuse and theft of property by guards, as well as disease-ridden, dirty and cold conditions, with outbreaks of diphtheria and scabies, forcible separation of families and denial of medical aid.

Importing the Rot: How the U-Visa Became a Fraud Bazaar

Created to protect the vulnerable, the U-visa has transmogrified into a market where citizenship can be gamed and traded.

America’s immigration system was designed to embody the American social contract — a compact between the individual and the state, in which the government is impartial and bound by law. But when newcomers arrive from societies where government is degraded into barter, bribery, and patronage, they import with them a radically different conception of what citizenship and authority mean. That is the real danger revealed in Louisiana, where Chandrakant “Lala” Patel, an Indian-origin businessman, now faces a 62-count federal indictment for orchestrating a sweeping U-visa fraud.

Asylum Ruling Appeals Hit New Record in Germany as Syrians Refuse to Go Home

Germany: Well integrated Muslims demand Caliphate

Germany is experiencing a new migration conundrum. While judges are overwhelmed by tens of thousands of new appeals against asylum decisions, only a handful of Syrians—fewer than 2,000 out of nearly one million living in the country—have requested official assistance to return to their homeland, despite the fall of Bashar al-Assad having been celebrated as the condition that would make their return possible.

The first half of 2025 brought a record number, 76,646 lawsuits by migrants initiated before administrative courts, more than in all of 2023 (71,885) and three-quarters of the 2024 level. Densely populated states such as North Rhine-Westphalia (13,304), Bavaria (11,412), and Lower Saxony (over 11,000) account for much of this surge.

Is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Canada’s Next Big Political Wedge?

A fresh Abacus Data poll reveals a nation divided over the fate of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

With 44 percent of Canadians supporting its elimination compared with 30 percent firmly opposed and 18 percent neutral or undecided, the proposal is proving to be more than a policy debate.


The bottom line for me is that Corporate Canada and the LPC cannot be trusted to act in our best interests.

They conspired to flood Canada with unskilled immigrants from incompatible cultures without a thought to the harm this would cause to the social and economic well being of Canadians.

Their greed driven actions created a  vote bloc to harvest and a false boost in GDP for the LPC to brag about while simultaneously providing the leverage necessary for the business class to depress wages and profit from the shortages that resulted.

You and your children can’t find a job? Fck you!

You and your children can’t afford rent never mind a mortgage? Fck you!

You and your children can’t find a doctor? Fck you!

You and your children threatened by migrant crime? Fck you!

Homeless shelters and foodbanks overrun by the LPC’s migrant hordes? Fck you!

And the topper? If you complain you’re a racist. Fck you!

This is the way it is. They do not care about me, they do not care about you. They are not to trusted.

Death to all Tyrants and the TFW.

The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory.

Middle England is radicalising, and the rest of the world is watching

For many protesters in York and Leeds, waving the national flag is not a mark of extremism. They simply want to keep their communities safe

York has long been defined by postcard charm. Cobbled streets, medieval walls, a bustling university and steady tourist influx made it a place associated with heritage and Harry Potter, not hard politics. But York has now become a battle ground for Britain’s growing migration debate, overwriting the city’s storybook image. What was once a byword for stability now reads as a warning: Middle England is learning the politics of confrontation.

The German parties’ pact to silence criticism of immigration

Islam does not belong in Germany

Every mainstream party running in Cologne’s local elections this month has agreed not to criticise immigration. Those bound by the so-called fairness agreement say they will not depict asylum seekers or migrants in a ‘negative’ light. Candidates are also warned not to ‘exploit’ migration as an electoral issue.

Top immigration court rules judges can deny bond to millions of migrants

A Trump administration policy to deny bond hearings to immigrants who entered the country without authorization was upheld by an immigration appellate board Friday, expanding mandatory detention to thousands of people already behind bars and potentially millions more nationwide.

Although the policy is being challenged in federal court, the ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals is likely to send an immediate chill through immigration courts where judges for decades have released individuals on bond whom they did not deem a flight risk or danger.

Those judges are now bound by the board’s decision. Immigration courts are not part of the judicial branch but fall under the Department of Justice.


The Trump administration understands the destruction mass immigration has caused and are working to fix it.

Canada on the other hand has a ruling class that believes it their right to profit from the harms they inflict on you via open borders.

I was arrested after refusing to remove my Union flag – I thought I’d be the next Lucy Connolly

On Sunday evening, two days after the Court of Appeal ruled that the Bell Hotel in Epping could continue to house migrants, Sarah White joined the protest route, which she has marched countless times in the past two months. Wearing a pink top with “The Only Way is Epping” emblazoned on it, carrying a Union flag, she addressed the crowd.

“We assert our fundamental right to protest peacefully,” she said. “A right woven into the fabric of our history.” Essex, White went on, “once repelled a Napoleonic invasion”. “We will not consent to governance that endangers our communities.”

B.C. premier wants temporary foreign worker program cancelled or reformed

In a surprise statement, Premier David Eby called for the end of Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program — blaming Ottawa’s flawed immigration policies for filling up homeless shelters and food banks.

“The temporary foreign worker program is not working. It should be cancelled or significantly reformed,” Eby said during an unrelated announcement in Surrey, B.C., Thursday.

“We can’t have an immigration system that fills up our homeless shelters and our food banks. We can’t have an immigration system that outpaces our ability to build schools and housing. And we can’t have an immigration program that results in high youth unemployment.


Doug Ford loves the TFW program. Corporate welfare is the God Given right of the ruling class in Dougie’s world.

Chris Selley: Who’s against Canadian jobs for Canadian kids instead of for foreign workers?

Youth unemployment stands at 14.6 per cent, according to Statistics Canada’s latest release. That’s the highest non-pandemic July figure since 2009 (15.9 per cent), at the nadir of the Great Recession. It makes nothing but good sense that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would position himself, as he did on Wednesday, foursquare athwart bringing in any more temporary foreign workers to fill positions that certain employers swear blind they cannot fill with younger Canadians at any conceivable price.


The first time abuse of the TFW program made news a way back in 2014 it was discovered that Tim Horton’s actually built imported slaves into their business plan.

Tim Hortons: The Canadian icon Canadians won’t work for

Last week, the CEO of Tim Hortons laid out part of his case for why the chain needs to be able to hire temporary foreign workers. This is what Marc Caira told Bloomberg News: “If you don’t have access to some of the foreign workers where they are required, it will ultimately also impact on the Canadians that work in that area, because we can’t really deliver on the promise that we want in terms of delivering quality service.”

Translation: Let us import these workers, or the double-double gets it.

England’s ‘Raise the Colours’ inspires flag protests in Dublin

There is a beast slouching towards central Dublin, and the authorities aren’t quite sure how to deal with it. In recent weeks, hundreds of Irish tricolours have been affixed to lampposts across the Irish capital, mirroring the vigilante patriotism of England’s “Operation Raise the Colours”.

What began in the tattered suburbs of Ballyfermot, Coolock and Finglas is now pressing into the more bohemian quarters of the inner city. “We object to the unauthorised erection of these decorations,” read one letter from residents. “They dishonour the Flag by flouting official protocol [and] are in breach of Dublin City Council’s rules on the decoration of lighting poles.”
