Canada Expects 1.2 Million Residents To Leave Next Year, Refugee Claims Soar

… One expected route people appear to be making is asylum claims, a.k.a. refugee claims. Canada saw 133k refugee claims made as of September year to date (YTD), up 38% from last year. More so, 63.9% of those claims were filed at inland offices, meaning those making a claim were already in the country. Inland filings hover around 50% of total annual claims in previous years, so these filings are a large part of the soaring claims.

One segment of temporary residents, international students, saw a big jump recently. According to an analysis in the Globe, about 13.7k of this year’s refugee claims YTD were people on study permits. At 4.5x the average volume seen in prior years, this volume is unheard of in Canada.

Canada’s security agencies suspect Modi knew of plot to kill Sikh activist

Canadian security agencies believe Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India knew about the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia and other violent plots, according to a senior national-security official who worked on the intelligence assessment of New Delhi’s foreign-interference operations in Canada.

The official said Canadian and American intelligence tied the assassination operations to Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah. Also in the loop, the official said, was Mr. Modi’s trusted national-security adviser Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

Colby Cosh: The impending implosion of Trudeau’s ‘win-win-win’ EV battery plant deal

Whirl with me back in time all the way to September 2023, when the federal and Quebec governments announced that they would be partnering with Swedish battery maker Northvolt to plunge headlong into the bright green future. Canada and Quebec would be laying out about $2.7 billion in capital, and more in downstream subsidies, to facilitate the construction of a vast, hypermodern battery plant in the province’s hinterland to help meet the world’s unlimited appetite for electric vehicles, creating thousands of jobs and contributing to global environmental health. “It’s a win-win-win — for workers, for communities, and for the environment,” trumpeted the prime minister. What could go wrong?

Trudeau’s Canada: Yazidi victims and the bloodthirsty Muslim savages next door

Yazidi victims of ISIS and the long wait for justice

… For many Yazidis, justice means prosecuting ISIS members for what they did in Syria and Iraq, but such cases remain rare in Canada.

Only three of the nine ISIS women who have returned to Canada from Syria face any criminal charges. None of the four women now living disconcertingly close to Bashar in Alberta have been charged.

And while the government has been bringing home Canadians who were in ISIS, it has not yet allowed Bashar’s youngest daughter Wafaa, who survived years as a slave to ISIS men, to join them in Calgary.

Now even far-left extremist Justin Trudeau knows that immigration has broken Canada

Migration has spiralled under his leadership, and the political backlash has been immense

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced his Liberal government was going to cut immigration levels for the first time in years. The number of permanent residents in 2025 will decrease from a previously announced target of 500,000 to 395,000, or 21 percent.

What caused this abrupt shift? Trudeau said in an Oct. 24 press conference that Ottawa “didn’t get the balance quite right” in the post-pandemic period with respect to significant labour shortages. Hence, the government’s decision to “pause population growth” would help adjust this economic deficiency.

Hold on. The Left-wing Canadian PM actually did something right for a change? It’s a miracle! Hallelujah!

Tasha Kheiriddin: Trump election threatens to upend Liberal policy

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals may be anxious about the rise of Pierre Poilievre, but their real problem isn’t the Conservative leader. It’s Donald Trump.

With the former president returning to the White House in January, Trudeau faces a rapid dismantling of his progressive agenda at the hands of Trump’s new administration. From immigration to the environment, trade to health care, Trump’s bro-heavy cabinet is poised to upend American policy — and, by extension, rip up Canada’s, before the Conservatives even get the chance.

Toronto: Challenge accepted!

Toronto had the highest poverty rate of any city or municipality in Canada with a population over 500,000 people in 2022, a new report says.

The report, authored by national anti-poverty group Campaign 2000 and Social Planning Toronto, found the city’s child poverty rate jumped from 16.8 per cent to 25.3 per cent between 2020 and 2022.

“Toronto has the unfortunate distinction of being the child poverty capital of Canada,” the report reads.

Cabinet minister’s Cree great-grandmother claims were untrue, records show

OTTAWA — For years, Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault spoke in Parliament and at public events of his great-grandmother as “a full-blooded Cree woman,” sometimes called “Lucy Brown Eyes.”

Now, facing scrutiny over shifting statements he made about his connections to Indigenous ancestry and, presented with records suggesting otherwise, Boissonnault’s office acknowledges that this was not true and his adoptive great-grandmother’s family in fact had Metis lineage, and she was not “full-blooded Cree.”

The Precarious Future of Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau became a national figure on Oct. 3, 2000. While delivering the eulogy at the state funeral for his father, Pierre Trudeau, the 29-year-old became the heir apparent for the future of the Liberal Party.

“Friends, Romans, countrymen,” he began, “Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The very words convey so many things to so many people. Statesman, intellectual, professor, adversary, outdoorsman, lawyer, journalist, author, prime minister. But more than anything, to me, he was dad.” His father was perhaps the most controversial, and consequential, prime minister in Canadian history. He ended the eulogy by saying: “But this is not the end. He left politics in ’84 …. But he won’t be coming back anymore. It’s all up to us, all of us, now.”

Ottawa ‘unlikely’ to see profit from Trans Mountain sale, budget watchdog tells committee

OTTAWA — Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux said on Monday Ottawa is likely to lose money on its eventual sale of the Trans Mountain pipeline, after shelling out more than $34 billion to complete the project.

Giroux told members of a House of Commons committee studying the matter that federal officials will be hard-pressed to find a private buyer willing to pay a premium for the pipeline, which has been operational since May, even under an optimistic scenario where foreign demand for Canadian oil stays high.

While the Trudeau government has tripled the amount of money it spends on Indigenous issues from $11 billion annually in 2015 to more than $32 billion earmarked for 2025, it doesn’t appear to be improving the lives of on-reserve Indigenous people, according to a new study by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute.

Kelly McParland: Of the long list of Liberal blunders, immigration takes the cake

In a contest for which liberal-minded policy project has gone most disastrously wrong, there would have to be big money on immigration.

There are rivals, of course. The massive debts racked up to finance heavy spending on well-meaning initiatives is one, but voters don’t care much about debt until it sparks a crisis. The climate war is another, except most people view it as a worthy goal, they just don’t want to pay for it.
