Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says it’s time for Canada to end automatic citizenship for children born to temporary or undocumented residents, arguing the country’s current policy is being exploited and erodes the meaning of citizenship.
In a detailed statement, Rempel Garner said a decade of Liberal “post-national” immigration policies has flooded Canada’s system, leading to housing, healthcare, and job shortages while undermining shared Canadian values.

Canada’s former climate minister on making a change, ‘aloof’ Trudeau and sexism
Imagine there was a truck heading directly for your children. What would you do? Surely everything in your power to save them, including jumping in its way? Catherine McKenna, formerly the Canadian minister for environment and climate change, borrows this analogy for the climate crisis from a colleague to argue that we need to use “all the tools at our disposal” to tackle devastating danger that is already with us.
McKenna has recently published Run Like a Girl, which documents her time in government, among other things. Peppered with inspirational quotes, personal photos and campaign memorabilia, Run Like a Girl isn’t a straightforward memoir. She wrote it for “women and young people who want to make change”.
The Canadian families of eight victims of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel have written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, criticizing him for not reaching out to them since taking office, and asking him for a meeting.
Their letter to the Prime Minister noted that other world leaders have held several meetings with families of victims in the two years since the attack.
The great magician Harry Houdini once said, “What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.” This is the philosophy Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals appear to be utilizing to downplay the dire fiscal situation they have put Canada in.
As the Liberals doubled the size of the national debt during the pandemic, then-finance minister Chrystia Freeland was fond of talking up Canada’s relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio.
An Ontario truck driver accused of killing a Manitoba mother and her eight-year-old daughter after running a stop sign has been granted bail — despite previously fleeing the country to avoid prosecution.
Navjeet Singh was arrested at Toronto’s Pearson Airport nine months after leaving Canada following the crash. Police say he was aware of the charges when he left. Now, he must surrender his passport, stay at a relative’s home in Ontario, and phone the RCMP on a weekly basis. That’s it. For a man who already fled once, the court’s decision raises serious questions about how Canada defines a “flight risk.”
I wonder if the family could sue the federal government for homicide by negligent immigration?

Finance Minister François Philippe Champagne says moving the federal budget to the fall will “modernize” Ottawa’s fiscal cycle. Translation: starting this year, the main budget will land in November, with a shorter spring update replacing the former fall economic statement. Champagne claims this will increase budgeting predictability for the provinces, align with the construction season, and enable faster project starts.
11 years of this BS.
An Ontario judge weighed the “immigration consequences” for a former international student who spied on his female housemates through a peep hole as they used the bathroom and made video recordings of four of them “in various stages of undress” over a period of six months.
The Ontario Court of Justice heard Aswin V. Sajeevan, an Indian citizen here on a student visa, lived with 11 other people at a home in Barrie. The 20-year-old pleaded guilty to four counts of voyeurism, which the judge considered a mitigating factor in his case.
The “Judge” should be deported with the pervert.
‘Sleepless nights’: Migrant worker says immigration lawyer owes him $24K
With the hope of starting a new life in Canada alongside his wife and children, Dattaray Avhad paid a lawyer over $24,000 to help him find a job as a cook in Newfoundland and Labrador and obtain permanent residency.
But more than a year later, he is on a work permit for vulnerable workers and is picking up shifts as a cab driver, with no clear path toward permanent residency.
He’s still fighting to get his money back.
Canada needs more 3rd world cooks buying citizenship according to CBC.
The fight over Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election, the investigation of Donald Trump and the current retribution in Washington is being felt in the Great White North. The Trump administration is seeking out those they have accused of weaponizing the justice system against the President, and it includes a lawyer whose firm represents a major Canadian client.
The owner of an Etobicoke-based Canadian Tire store has been fined $111,000 by the federal government for violating the guidelines of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program.
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the federal ministry that runs the TFW program, found branch owner Ezhil Natarajan in violation of two guidelines: that wages, work conditions or the job did not match what was listed in offers of employment and that employees were assigned to work different roles than what they were hired for.
For months now, a consistent sentiment has emerged in Canadian opinion polls on immigration: The country has too much of it and it’s causing active harm to the economy. Canadians are even beginning to tell pollsters that they are increasingly distrustful of newcomers.
The country’s turn against immigration comes in the wake of one of the most dramatic reorderings of the immigration system in our history. Over just the last five years, migration into Canada has not only been spiked to all-time highs, but the influx is increasingly composed of newcomers that are young and low-skilled – a noted departure from a system that used to primarily prioritize skills and economic potential.
Conservative MPs are sounding the alarm over a new federal cybersecurity bill, warning it could give cabinet sweeping powers to target ordinary Canadians online without due process.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Bill C-8, An Act Respecting Cybersecurity, would allow cabinet to order telecom providers to cut services to individuals it deems a threat to Canada’s telecommunications system — with orders kept secret and no court oversight.
In a break with tradition, federal budgets will now be released in the fall instead of the spring starting this year.
The fall fiscal update, meanwhile, will now be tabled in the spring.
It’s a change that comes less than two weeks after the parliamentary budget officer estimated a sharp increase in the deficit to $68.5 billion.
The federal government has not released a budget since April 2024 under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
‘I’ve applied to more than 50 jobs, didn’t get one interview’: Why job fairs are attracting massive crowds
They lineup by the hundreds, shoulder-to-shoulder, roped off around the centre court of Markham’s Markville Mall.
It’s 2:30 p.m. on a weekday afternoon. You might suspect the crowd is queued up for the newest iPhone or perhaps a video game console release, instead they’re looking for a way to put food on the table, a roof over their heads.
This is a job fair, an increasingly popular way for employers to screen large crowds of prospective employees.
With unemployment hitting highs not seen in a decade, the crowds at these recruitment events outnumber openings.
A number of such “employment” articles have run of late, all of them with photos of job fair lines. None feature any white people.
And the media never mention it at all.
Thank your local MP for murdering Canada.
Mark Carney was presented back in June with two “emotional support chickens” — the creation of an Edmonton Oilers fan and crochet artist to help fans of the hockey team deal with playoff stress.
“They give you something to hold onto while you’re trying to make it through overtime without having a heart attack,” said Ashley Sinclair, the creator, who admitted to being “gobsmacked” when she saw photos of Carney tossing around the chickens.
