Trudeau’s Canada: From fast food to construction, employers exploit temporary foreign workers at expense of Canadian citizens

From fast food to construction, employers turn more and more to temporary foreign workers

Businesses’ demand for temporary foreign workers has surged across the country in recent years, with employers given the green light to hire more than double the people through the federal program last year as they did five years ago.

The program is designed to provide short-term relief to employers as a last resort, but has been scrutinized for its potential knock-on effects to the broader economy and the vulnerable position in which it can place workers.

Last year, employers were cleared to hire 239,646 temporary foreign workers, about the population of Regina. That’s up from 108,988 in 2018, according to figures published by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Housing shortages, depressed wages, racist hiring practices, health care services among many others stretched beyond breaking. Thank Trudeau.

Majority of millennials, Gen Z don’t support Trudeau’s internet regulation plans: poll

A new Postmedia-Leger poll contains a stark warning for any political party gunning for Gen Z and millennial voters in the next federal election: be wary of a heavy hand in trying to regulate the internet.

The poll, released Monday, finds that less than half of Canadians aged 18 to 39 say they “support the government’s new rules to regulate the web, podcasts, streaming and social media to restrict offensive speech and online harms.” Only 44 per cent say they support the initiatives. The majority either disagree with the policies (39 per cent) or don’t know (16 per cent).

Transphobic Iranian parliament proposes labeling Canadian army as terrorist group

Iranian lawmakers introduced a motion on Sunday to label the Canadian army a “terrorist” entity, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency. This move follows Canada’s recent designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

The motion was presented during an open session in Tehran, where the Iranian parliament reacted to Canada’s declaration on Wednesday. The new measure mandates the Iranian government to categorize the Canadian army and affiliated armed and security forces as “terrorist” organizations.

The Liberals are hustling to stop a ‘seismic shift’ in one of their safest seats

OTTAWA — Even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has watched his Liberal party’s poll numbers dive deeper and deeper into the abyss over the last year, he has managed to hold his ground in the House of Commons.

That could change on Monday.

Elect the permanent political class.

Residential Schools Kenora

The controversy over the alleged surreptitious burial of 215 Indigenous children who had supposedly died at the Kamloops Indian Residential School has been extremely damaging to this country, because it has naturally inflamed the grievances of natives and incited the guilt of a huge number of Canadians, but is based on suppositions unjustified by the known facts. As with other contemporary controversies, dissent pending receipt of evidence tends to be greeted by a storm of reproach that the individual who is unconvinced of the conventional explanation for these alleged graves is not only a ”grave-denier,” like someone who denies the overwhelmingly documented horrors of the Holocaust, but is also an anti-Indigenous racist and even a closet apologist for genocide against the native peoples of Canada.

She lied to get her twin daughters Inuit status and is about to be sentenced for fraud. Again.

Noah Noah says he has no positive memories of Karima Manji, the woman who used his mother, Kitty Noah, to obtain Inuit identities for her twin daughters so she could gain access to funds only available to Inuit beneficiaries.

“She was really awful,” Noah said of Manji during a CBC News interview in 2023 at his Iqaluit home.

A truly awful family who do not deserve to be in Canada.

Conservative surge combined with ballot confusion could crack a Liberal stronghold in Toronto byelection

Growing political discontent in a Liberal stronghold could lead to a Conservative breakthrough in an Ontario byelection that may put Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership to the test. On Monday, voters in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s will head to the polls to elect a new member of Parliament.

It’s odd but the conservative candidate is wearing an invisibility cloak, few photos, has declined interviews etc.

Anthony Furey: A Sober, Non-Partisan Look at the Canadian Economy Says We’re Stuck in ‘Neutral’

It’s always been the case that partisan voices are willing to slam the state of the Canadian economy if it means they can score a dig against one of their political opponents. Politicians and pundits will lob accusations at the other side of the aisle until the cows come home.

A large percentage of the general public then no doubt ignores what sometimes sounds like political noise on these matters. But in recent months one thing we’ve seen more of are completely non-partisan voices stepping forward to sound the alarm on the direction of the Canadian economy. These are voices worth listening to.

Liberals expecting to win Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection despite poor polling for Trudeau

Liberals have held the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s for three decades, but heading into Monday’s federal by-election, people in the party say that while they expect to win, it will be a closer race than it should be.

With national polls showing the governing Liberals badly trailing the Conservatives and issues such as affordability, Israel’s war with Hamas, and the recent capital-gains tax hike having a pronounced impact on the riding, the race has turned from a typical Liberal cakewalk to an all-hands-on-deck push to the finish.

Canada Day parade in Montreal cancelled, ‘political divide’ to blame

The annual Canada Day parade in Montreal has been cancelled less than two weeks before the event, due to alleged bureaucratic issues between the organizer and the city.

The event’s organizer, Nicholas Cowen, claims “difficulties with local government leaders” were to blame when trying to coordinate the July 1 parade that’s been held since 1977.

Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh are their own worst enemies. Here’s how they can use the summer to turn things around

As MPs scurried out of Ottawa’s oppressive heat this week for what is likely the last summer break before the next federal election — the fixed election is set for October 2025, but it’s difficult to see NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh supporting the Liberals’ next budget — many were looking forward to hitting the barbecue circuit and taking time to recharge. But for the parties, the reprieve from the daily to and fro on Parliament Hill is a crucial time for a reset. And they badly need it.
