44% of Canadians Want to End Temporary Foreign Worker Program, 30% Disagree: Poll

Canadians are divided on whether Ottawa should eliminate its temporary foreign worker program, although the scales tip in favour of scrapping the program, a new survey suggests.

Forty-four percent of Canadians said they support a recent proposal by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to phase out the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) while 30 percent are opposed to such a move, a survey from Abacus Data found. An additional 18 percent of those polled said they were either neutral or undecided on the subject.

Ottawa Won’t Scrap EV Mandate, Wants Increased Imports, Domestic Production: Industry Minister

As Ottawa embarks on a 60-day review of its electric vehicle (EV) mandate, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says the plan is not to get rid of the policy but rather to boost the production and importation of the vehicles.

“We want to build more EVs in Canada. We need to because we know that’s where basically the world is heading, and we want to make sure that we are able to compete with also Chinese EVs,” Joly said during a press conference in Montreal on Sept. 8.

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.

Adam Pankratz: Just put EV mandate out of its misery already

Those with an attentive ear may have picked up on the distinct sound of sobbing emanating from the Department of Canadian Identity and Culture. They are the sobs of its minister, erstwhile minister of environment and climate change, Stephen Guilbeault, watching the slow but certain immolation of Canada’s electric vehicle sales mandate, as it goes up in smoke. Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that automakers would no longer need to have 20 per cent of their sales be zero emission vehicles, either fully electric or hybrid election, in 2026.

LEDREW: Carney shows he has no elbows

OK, Mr.Carney, whom few Canadians knew nine months ago, who had no political experience, who captured the Liberal Leadership and therefore the Prime Ministership because of Ottawa Insiders, who promised that he would lead Canada to a solid economic and social footing, who would put the boots to Donald Trump, who received the endorsement of Canadians to take immediate action.

You have been timed out.

BARCLAY: The destabilizing effects of Liberal migration policies in Canada

When diversity becomes dogma. The policies driving Canada toward decline.

For nearly a decade, the Liberal government has imposed a bevy of hyper-liberal migration policies upon the Canadian people, in an effort to forcibly inject abject diversity within the Canadian state.

Unfortunately, diversity is, at best, merely the symptom of a healthy, productive, state or nation, and never a viable end unto itself.

Carney’s $370M canola incentives are missing the mark, says industry group president

The president of the Canola Council of Canada says new funding announced this week by Prime Minister Mark Carney “misses the mark” on what the industry needs right now in the face of a steep Chinese tariff.

“We don’t believe there’s been proper recognition of extensive impacts on the rest of the canola value chain,” Chris Davison said on Rosemary Barton Live. “We have exporters and processors who have assets, facilities and infrastructure that is under duress right now.”

He added: “And there was nothing specifically that was speaking to that.”

Canada’s immigration consensus is shattering. Here’s why

A long-standing political consensus in Canada is breaking down before our eyes. For decades, immigration policy was a rare point of agreement among the major parties, characterized by a shared commitment to high levels of permanent, citizenship-focused immigration. But that era is over. The catalyst for this rupture is the massive expansion of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), a policy that has now become a flashpoint for debates about economic fairness, corporate power, and the very meaning of Canadian values.

‘Generation screwed’: With the dismal youth employment numbers, Poilievre found a wide-open lane and pulled in

Being leader of the opposition is a little like being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 401.

You’re boxed in. Options are limited. And any “creative” manoeuvres usually lead to pileups.

So when a lane opens up — a clear stretch of political laneway — you don’t ask questions. You step on the gas.


The Elbow people in voting LPC and NDP destroyed their own children’s future by supporting Corporate Canada’s callous greed and abuse of immigration.

Cancelling EV sales mandate a sign of much bigger problems for taxpayers

Prime Minister Mark Carney was right to kill his government’s mandate that 20% of all new car sales in Canada had to be zero emissions vehicles starting next year – current sales are less than half that – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the problem.

The bigger problem is that, according to the Parliamentary Budget Office, Canada’s federal and provincial governments – mainly Ontario and Quebec – have earmarked up to $52.5 billion to subsidize 13 major Electric Vehicle supply chain projects, 14% more than the $46.1 billion the EV industry in Canada is spending on itself.

Donald Trump no longer top of mind for many Canadians as worries shift to economy, cost of living, poll finds

Canadians are more worried about the high cost of living and the economy than they are about Donald Trump and his administration, according to the latest Abacus survey, reversing a past trend where the U.S. president was the top concern.

The shift signals a change from the federal election in April when Canadians were more worried about a trade war with the U.S., a factor that helped Prime Minister Mark Carney get elected, explained Abacus chair and CEO David Coletto, because voters believed Carney was better equipped to deal with the American leader.

Joly won’t say if federal climate targets are here to stay

As Prime Minister Mark Carney announces he’s pausing yet another cornerstone environmental policy laid out by his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Industry Minister Melanie Joly won’t say whether the federal government will maintain its 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets.

Carney announced Friday that his government will pause the 2026 electric vehicle (EV) target, launch a review of the overall mandate and amend federal Clean Fuel Regulations.

The move follows Carney’s decision to zero out the consumer price on carbon in March, his first move as prime minister.

Speaking to reporters following his announcement on Friday, Carney signalled the door is open to other changes on climate policy, except for the industrial price on carbon.

Jamie Sarkonak: The TFW program came for youth jobs. Now Poilievre is coming for it

The “immigrants are taking our jobs” line used to be dismissed as a xenophobic trope, stigmatized in Canadian politics with such intensity that it lulled the population into a decade-plus sleep even as wages stagnated. But it’s turned out to be completely true — and only the Conservatives are coming up with solutions to the problem.

On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre and immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner announced their proposal to scrap the temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, which in 2023 authorized nearly 240,000 foreigners to work in Canada. This, we’re told, is only the beginning: Rempel Garner promises that more proposals are in the works.

Carney was elected on a wave of tariff panic. Now he has other problems

Fall has always felt like much more of a time to take stock and start over to me than January. Structure returns to life, new routines settle in and everything green turns more gilded and rustling with each passing day, a constant reminder that time ticks by and things change, whether you like it or not.

All of which is to say: Holy smokes, have we ever been on an emotional journey as a country over the past year.

The three fiscal taboos Canada can no longer afford

 

It’s possible Mark Carney never meant to use the a-word. He was answering a question in French, after all, and you know how that can trip him up sometimes. But there it was.

Asked if the fall budget would be an austerity budget, the Prime Minister did not attempt to deny it. Neither did he answer another question, not asked, a favourite tactic of politicians. Rather, he adapted it to a well-worn formula: “It’s an austerity and investment budget at the same time.”


Coyne’s role as a stenographer for our ruling class is a given.

How he can write an entire column on government spending and the economy without once mentioning that GDP has been destroyed through corporate Canada’s abuse of our immigration system that saw them callously import hordes of unskilled 3rd world migrants is beyond belief.

That’s not a productivity problem Coyne that’s just sleazy businessmen lining their pockets without giving a damn about the cost their greed has inflicted on Canadian society.
