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.
According to a government document circulated online on Monday, people seeking asylum in Canada can receive $224 per day to cover housing and food while waiting for application processing — that’s $81,760 per year.
Claimants in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) operated hotels, regardless of how they enter Canada, are provided with accommodations and meals once they are relocated, says the document dated March 14, noting the average cost per room across all sites is $140 per night. The average cost per day for meals is $84.
Don’t blame Justin Trudeau for any of the issues facing his government or the country — it’s not his fault and he’s happy to tell you that. From our catch-and-release bail system, to immigration, to the carbon tax, it’s all someone else’s fault and has nothing to do with his disastrous policies.
Liberal MPs need to stop comparing Canada’s Conservatives to Donald Trump’s Republicans as that strategy is losing its persuasive power following the U.S. presidential election, say observers.
Former Liberal staffer Olivier Cullen was among several strategists who advised the Liberal government to avoid such language.
“Positioning yourself as running against Trump-lite may not be the best approach,” he said.
A new poll shows a majority of Canadians say the Liberal Party should be led by someone other than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the next election, with only 24 per cent saying he should stay on.
The Nanos Research survey conducted for The Globe and Mail asked whether Mr. Trudeau should lead the Liberals in the next election or whether the party should choose someone else.
Fifty-seven per cent said someone else should be leader. Fifteen per cent said they had no preference, and 4 per cent said they were unsure.
He’s not going to leave of his own volition.
He really thinks he can just post a video blaming everyone but himself for all the ills he has visited upon Canadians and voila he’ll be back in our good graces.
Yes he is that delusional.
Immigrants sick of being scapegoated plan one-day strike Dec. 18
This year “we’ve seen an aggressive shift against the temporary migrant in Canada, whether student, refugee, temporary worker, with numerous migration restrictions from one day to the next that are creating greater precariousness for migrant workers,” Immigrant Workers Centre organizer Hector Salamanca told reporters.
The Grift is over.

Canada’s multimillion-dollar factory to farm crickets is falling silent amid layoffs. Once dismissed as a “right-wing conspiracy theory,” harvesting insects for human consumption is an emerging policy goal for the worldwide left. Without an understanding of the market, though, such schemes will be a breakfast boondoggle.
“In matters of taste,” a quote attributed to various retail pioneers goes, “the customer is always right.” The first half of the slogan has fallen away in the century since it emerged, truncated to “the customer is always right.” On the matter of serving bugs, the entire phrase is being ignored by those who think they know better.
Amid Canada’s ongoing housing crisis, the Department of Immigration is advising new arrivals to consider temporary accommodations like Airbnbs or, if necessary, shelters, until they secure a more permanent place to live.
Blacklock’s Reporter says this guidance appears in a recent Welcome to Canada guide, published in multiple languages, including Arabic, Dari, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, to assist newcomers navigating Canada’s housing landscape.
Carl Gomes was immediately fearful when his landlord put his property up for sale.
”(The landlord) put the property on the market in July and said everyone needed to leave by August,” Gomes said of the Little Portugal rooming house that is home to 14 people in six rooms.
Gomes quickly sought legal help. As soon as he told his landlord he was consulting a lawyer to make sure due process was followed, he said his landlord called and said, “he would come to my room and throw my wife’s and my belongings out on the street.”
Trudeau needs to be jailed.
‘This is about protecting the soul of a Canada that we’re still building:’ Why Canada’s first Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia isn’t backing down
After a terrorist killed four members of a Muslim family in London, Ontario in 2021, the Government of Canada organized a National Summit on Islamophobia. Among the over 100 recommendations to emerge was the creation of a Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, similar to Canada’s 2020 appointment of a Special Envoy on Anti-Semitism. In January 2023, just days before the sixth anniversary of the Quebec City mosque shooting, Amira Elghawaby, a journalist and human rights advocate, was appointed to the role.
You’re not Canadian, never will be.
Trudeau says he could have acted faster on immigration changes, blames ‘bad actors’
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming “bad actors” for gaming the system.
Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program.
For years, I’ve demonized anyone who suggests we reduce immigration levels by calling them “racist” and “islamophobic”.
Today, I’m reducing immigration levels.

What a monster. He’s ruined the hopes and dreams of a generation turned Canada into a 3rd world shithole and he blames everyone but himself.
The incoming Donald Trump administration and Republicans in Congress still see Canada as a friend and ally, but will continue to press Ottawa on addressing border security and defence spending, a prominent conservative advisor says.
Georganne Burke, who has worked in both U.S. and Canadian politics and supported Trump’s return to the White House, says those two issues in particular will be major sticking points in the Canada-U.S. relationship unless the Liberal government shows it’s willing to act in the ways Trump wants.
People have good reason to doubt the veracity of campaign promises because they have good, abundant evidence that politicians hardly feel honour-bound to keep them.
For many politicians, making promises you can’t keep is as natural as breathing on the campaign trail. In turn, the electorate is conditioned to expect political promises to be like piñatas: designed to be broken.
But it looks like the Donald Trump’s victory may be ushering in a new era.
OTTAWA — If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote.
The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there’s no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.
Whatever it takes to rid us of Justin is fine by me.
The repeated failure of Trudeau cabinet ministers to behave ethically is not primarily due to the weakness of the federal conflict of interest act that was passed by the Stephen Harper Conservative government in 2006, although it is indeed weak.
