Almost 600 foreign nationals with criminal records due to be deported are missing, CBSA says

Canadian border agents are trying to track down almost 600 foreigners with criminal records who are due to be deported but have gone missing – 431 of whom have been found guilty of serious crimes such as sexual assault.

Figures from the Canada Border Services Agency show that 1,635 foreign nationals guilty of committing crimes in Canada are currently facing deportation, but 599 of them have failed to attend deportation proceedings and have been placed on the agency’s “wanted” list.

Of those 599, 315 have been evading deportation for more than three years. Another 46, according to CBSA figures obtained by The Globe and Mail, have been evading the authorities for more than two years.

Why weren’t they in Jail until deported? Polar Bear Alcatraz anyone?

Ottawa says Hong Kong bounties for activists are a threat to Canadian sovereignty

Ottawa is condemning Hong Kong’s announcement of arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists, including several in Canada, as transnational repression that threatens this country’s sovereignty.

One of those targeted in Canada, Victor Ho, on Sunday warned Canadian politicians now urging closer ties with Beijing to be mindful of repression practised by the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

HILL: Our Canada, consumed by hate, paralyzed by fear

Are you like me? Do you resist reading the morning news because there only seems to be “bad news”?

I remember a time not so long ago when Leah and I felt it our civic duty to be informed. While enjoying our morning coffee, we would spread our newspapers out on our kitchen counter and pore over the headlines, picking out what we believed to be the must-read stories of the day. We would proceed to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly.

Cory Morgan: Telling the Truth on Pipelines Key to Building Political Support

In supporting the concept of a pipeline corridor across Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney shifted from his predecessor’s approach to oil and gas exports. Carney so far has shown signs of recognizing that if Canada could expand oil and gas exports into overseas markets, the nation wouldn’t be as vulnerable to tariffs and other trade clashes with the United States.

In 2023, 97 percent of Canada’s crude oil exports went to the United States, as did nearly 100 percent of the natural gas exports. Meanwhile, Canada purchased nearly $20 billion worth of foreign crude oil, most of which came from the United States.


Maybe not so much Carney enthusiasm …

Carney’s cuts won’t be able to hide behind Trump forever

In another time, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s talk of steep government spending cuts would be the talk of the town. But these aren’t other times.

We now live in the age of Trump, and the U.S. President’s ongoing trade war with the world is a story that is able to erase much of most other countries’ domestic news agenda. And so it is with Canada and its need to reduce spending after years of Trudeau-era bloat.

Finance department rushed plan for Sharia mortgages despite warnings

Federal officials pushed to approve Islamic-compliant home loans despite repeated internal warnings that the proposal was unworkable, according to newly released Access To Information records.

Blacklock’s Reporter says emails reveal the Department of Finance wanted to move “extremely fast” on Sharia-compliant mortgages in the months leading up to the April 28 election, despite concerns from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) that the financial structure conflicted with tax laws, liability rules, and existing mortgage insurance policies.

US-Canada Relations: Neither Country Should Play the China Card

The United States is alienating our most important trade partner, Canada.

The country is a NATO ally and G7 member. While the U.S.-U.K. relationship is often touted as Washington’s most “special,” the Canadian relationship is arguably the most critical to the future of the U.S. economy and soft power. The projection of U.S. hard power abroad depends in part on positive global public perception of Washington’s leadership. This stems from the United States being a beacon of freedom and arsenal of democracy in World War I, World War II, crises across the Taiwan Strait, the Korean war, and others. If after all of that, we now treat Canada with a lack of foresight for short-term trade interests, we lose at least some of our moral high ground, which negatively affects our soft power, and as well our long-term national interests.

Carney is quietly working on launching a new housing affordability slush fund

Ottawa is quietly working on launching a new entity it hopes will be key to housing affordability

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has been quiet since the federal election about the housing crisis, the same issue that contributed to the Liberals’ fading popularity under their previous leader.

Behind the scenes, however, housing stakeholders are fielding a flurry of calls from government officials seeking their advice on the creation of Build Canada Homes, a new federal entity that Mr. Carney has said will get the government back in the business of homebuilding.

GIESBRECHT: Will Carney’s immigration policy be any different than Trudeau’s?

Prime Minister Carney has recently introduced a plan to bring in thousands of aging people from India.

He doesn’t explain why such a program could possibly be in the best interests of Canadians — why Canada would possibly want more elderly, retired people who will put even more stress on the medical system, social services and housing. No disrespect to India, or to those retirees, but we have plenty of elderly, retired people, and don’t need to import more.

Jobs subsidy for immigration minister’s longstanding church raises ‘perception’ questions: ethics specialist

Your money is always a Liberal’s money.

OTTAWA — When Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab dropped by a church kids camp this summer, she came to pose for photos to highlight the funding that came from the Canada Summer Jobs program.

It might not have seemed unusual: members of Parliament have a hand in helping organizations in their riding get the summer-job subsidies in the first place. MPs get lists of organizations in their ridings that apply for the subsidy, and recommend who should get it.

In Doug Ford’s World This Is The Perfect Time To Grant Work Permits To 100K So-Called Asylum Seekers

Ontario mortgage delinquencies on the rise and could climb higher still, experts warn

Mortgage delinquencies appear to be on the rise in both Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area and the numbers could get worse as Canada navigates choppy economic waters, experts say.

According to data prepared for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) by Equifax Canada, mortgage delinquencies rose to 0.22 per cent in Ontario for the first quarter of this year. That’s up from 0.15 per cent in the first quarter of 2024 and 0.09 per cent in the first quarter of 2023.

In Toronto, the mortgage delinquency rate hit 0.23 per cent for the first quarter of 2025. That compares to 0.14 per cent for the first quarter of 2024 and 0.08 per cent for the first quarter of 2023.

The same cabal that jacked immigration rates to unprecedented levels will always find a way to destroy your economic and social well being.

They want you poor and fearful, one step away from being homeless and willing to work for the cheapest wage possible.

Ford, Carney and his pal Wiseman of Century Initiative infamy are working hard to ensure the Corporate class has ready access to slaves.

The right answer is mass deportation.


Update: Ford claims asylum seekers wait 2 years for work permits. Feds say it’s actually 45 days

The federal government is pushing back against Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s claim it takes two years for an asylum seeker to be given the right to work in Canada, saying the average processing time is actually less than two months.

Ford made the claim on Wednesday afternoon at the end of a three-day leaders’ summit in Huntsville, Ont., where the country’s premiers agreed to look at ways to use their constitutional powers to hand out work permits.

The great ‘supply’ solution to Canada’s housing crisis flounders — further

Douglas Todd: To understand why Mark Carney’s goal of building 500,000 houses a year won’t happen, look to New Zealand and the harsh realities right now of making a profit in real estate.

The unspoken maxim within Canadian political circles, I’m told, is that elected officials just can’t win when it comes to either public health care or housing affordability.

No matter what politicians do, voters will continue to complain about poor access to medical care or feel aggravated about super-expensive housing prices.

That’s often why, when it comes to the massive files of health and housing, elected officials go out of their way to at least look like they’re doing something. And to look like they’re being bold.
