Canada spent $78 million deporting 18,000 people in 2024 — the most since Stephen Harper … in a very loose sense

Canada has spent more than $78 million deporting over 18,000 people in the 2024-25 fiscal year, the most since the government of Stephen Harper, according to data obtained by the Star from the Canada Border Services Agency.

The vast majority of those deported have been asylum seekers whose refugee claims have been rejected, the data says.

The surge comes as the federal government tightens immigration targets and limits new international student permits, a shift that experts say is likely to fuel a rise in deportations as hundreds of thousands of temporary residents face shrinking pathways to permanent status and as a “regularization program” for undocumented migrants, initially promised by the Trudeau government, remains stalled.

… The deportation level in 2024 was the highest since 2012, when more than 19,000 people were removed under Harper’s Conservative government. Deportations include all removals enforced in a given fiscal year, including refugee claimants as well as those living, working or studying in Canada who have overstayed their legal status.


The Star wants you to believe Carney is deporting failed asylum seekers at the same rate as Harper!

But the Star commits a sin of omission failing to point out Harper outperformed Carney by a huge margin based on the total number of asylum seekers each administration has faced.

Google AI – How many asylum seekers did Canada receive in the year 2024 vs. 2012?

In 2024, Canada received approximately 190,000 new asylum claims, a significant increase compared to the 20,500 applications received in 2012.

Bondi Beach shows Canadians can no longer shy away from the immigration debate

Canada’s post-October 7 antisemitism crisis mirrors Australia’s. It’s small wonder that the Bondi Beach Hanukkah pogrom is perceived by numerous Canadian observers as a bullet dodged.

If it had happened here, we would be sifting through the same forensic breadcrumbs that helped pave the road to Bondi: principles bent for Muslim votes, calculated tolerance for criminal activity directed against Jews and the demonization of Israel in high political and cultural places.

The question now is: what can we do to prevent such a tragedy in Canada?


FYI Barb some of us have been discussing Canada’s suicidal immigration policy for decades.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney bows down to terrorism

Does promoting a Palestinian Arab terror state constitute support for Israel or is it exactly bowing down to terrorism

When the history books are written will Canada be seen to stand with freedom-respecting nations or with totalitarian Islamist terrorists?

Anyone who promotes a Palestinian Arab state is in fact standing with Jihad and murder. It is clear that Canadian young people, like the Australians, are being mis-educated and the media is confused about the history of Israeli offers of land for a Palestinian Arab autonomy – which were met with increased terrorism as the jihadists were encouraged that they were getting closer to their genocidal goals.

Death by a Thousand Clicks: 6 Bills That Together Turn Canada Into a Police State

Freedom in Canada is dying slowly and gradually, not by a single fell swoop, but by a thousand cuts. How did the United Kingdom end up arresting thousands of its citizens (more than 30 per day) over their Facebook, X, and other social media posts? This Orwellian nightmare was achieved one small step at a time. No single step was deemed worthy of fierce and effective opposition by British citizens. The citizens of what was once a free nation adapted begrudgingly to the slow-but-steady elimination of their freedoms, including privacy and freedom from state surveillance.

Likewise in Canada, too few Canadians have spoken out against the federal government gradually taking over the internet through a series of bills with innocuous and even laudable titles.

Mark Carney’s journey from climate ‘visionary’ to pipeline promoter

Cowboy Carney

When Mark Carney arrived on the Canadian political stage, Richard Brooks’s colleagues sought out his professional opinion.

Would they be dealing in the Liberal prime minister with a friend of the environment or a foe?

Brooks, the head of climate finance with Canadian advocacy group Stand.Earth, has followed Carney’s meteoric rise over the last decade from staid central bank governor to global climate guru to the Prime Minister’s Office.


Watch what he does not what he says. He left plenty of ways to block his “pipeline”.

Canada’s Security Chief Met with Muslim Leader to Fight ‘Islamophobia.’ Then This Happened.

Dan Rogers, the head of Canada’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, had a friendly meeting recently with the CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, Stephen Brown. They got together to discuss ways that the Canadian government could combat “Islamophobia,” but for Rogers, the timing of this meeting was not just bad; it was catastrophic.

SMOL: Time for a grown-up conversation about Mark and Jennie’s Canadian citizen-militia

It has taken me a while to absorb the recent proposal by the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jennie Carigan, clearly supported by Prime Minister Mark Carney, to raise a 300,000-strong “citizen militia” in peacetime.

The proposal suggests this would be built initially on a cadre of civil servants given a week’s military training to prepare for war.

Canada cancels intake for two economic immigration programs

Ottawa is cancelling the intakes of two economic immigration programs in its attempt to manage backlogs and reduce immigration levels.

On Friday, the Immigration Department said it will stop accepting new applications for the Start-Up Visa program — Canada’s only business immigration program — beginning on Jan. 1. Officials will also immediately pause the intake of the Home Care Worker Immigration pilots until further notice.


More Liberal media BS? Is this the real reason the “caregiver” program is being shut down?

CBC Exposes The Same Dozen Neo-Nazis Over and Over Again

‘The Nazis were right’: What the leaders of Canada’s biggest ‘nationalist’ group really want

The leaders of the country’s biggest white nationalist group believe that “the Nazis were right,” that a violent “race war” for Canada’s future is underway and that non-white people should be deported en masse “at gunpoint,” according to an analysis by the CBC’s visual investigations unit.

Second Sons Canada calls itself a “men’s nationalist club” dedicated to “health and fitness, camaraderie, activism and friendly support for those who share our values.” Official posts on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram and X show men gathering to train or to demonstrate, promoting the slogan “remigration now” and celebrating veterans and Canadian history.


It’s not about a dozen Neo-Nazis. CBC Palestine appears to be trying to stigmatize “Remigration”. Screw them we own it.

Anti-immigrant sentiment rises with loss of consensus on immigration policy

OTTAWA — Canada’s long-held consensus on immigration — that it’s a net positive for the country — has been coming apart in recent years.

Roughly half of the population thinks too many immigrants have been coming to Canada, according to several private polling firms.

That parallels a government survey from November 2024, when 54 per cent of respondents to a phone survey conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said “too many” immigrants were coming to Canada.


It’s not “anti-immigrant” to fight back when your country is being stolen from under your feet, when you can’t buy a home, afford rent or even find a job because the elites profit from the cheap foreign labour they import.

It’s called self-defense and it’s not racist.

The Liberals are cooking the books and actually staying on track to nearly meet Trudeaus nation killing goals.

Carney lays out security ‘guardrails’ for China as Canada looks to build up relationship

Prime Minister Mark Carney has begun to lay out publicly what he sees as boundaries when dealing with China, as his government wades into a new relationship with the economic giant.

Carney, who earlier this year called China one of Canada’s biggest security threats, has more recently spoken openly about resetting the relationship with Beijing as the Liberal government seeks more trading partners in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

In a year-end interview with CBC News, he was asked by chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton if he sees risks in Canada aligning economically with China.

Carney Floor Crossing Raises Counterintelligence Questions, Former Senior Mountie Argues

I spent years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police learning a simple rule. You assess risk based on capability, intent, and opportunity — not on hope or assumptions. When those three factors align, ignoring them is negligence.

That framework applies directly to Canada’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China — and to recent political events that deserve far more scrutiny than they have received.

Anand summoned Israel’s envoy to explain turning away of Jew Hatey MPs at West Bank border post

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand summoned Israel’s ambassador to explain why a delegation of Canadian members of Parliament was refused entry to the West Bank earlier this week.

Ambassador Iddo Moed was called in by Ms. Anand on Tuesday. Myah Tomasi, a spokesperson for Ms. Anand, said Mr. Moed met Global Affairs officials that day to discuss the treatment of the delegation.

Six MPs were part of a delegation of around 30 Canadians that also included representatives of charitable organizations. The group was denied entry to the West Bank by Israeli authorities on

Tuesday, prompting Ms. Anand to publicly voice her disapproval of their treatment.


I’m sure the Israeli envoy tried desperately not to smirk.

Is Mark Carney’s ambitious mobilization plan for the Canadian military doable?

In late October, the Ottawa Citizen published details about an initiative, developed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and Deputy Minister Stefanie Beck to significantly boost the numbers of personnel in the ranks.

The mobilization scheme, put in motion on May 31, 2025, outlines the need to increase the current reserve force from 23,561 to 100,000 and to boost supplementary and other reserves from the current 4,384 to 300,000.
