The federal government’s immigration policy, including increasing the number of newcomers to 500,000 per year, has elicited much criticism of late. The effect so many newcomers have had on a tight housing and rental market has been noted repeatedly.
But one of the primary concerns about Canada’s refugee and citizenship system relates to national security and public safety. What has made the matter worse is a series of new revelations about alleged terrorist plots tied to the ISIS terrorist group being planned on Canadian soil.
Ahead of a crucial meeting with party MPs on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing growing dissatisfaction within his caucus, according to a report by the Hindustan Times.

After a long day at a work event in July, Kathryn Kozody was relieved when she spotted a car with a lit-up taxi sign.
She thought it was odd when the driver told her she’d have to pay her fare with a debit card. Still, a tired Kozody hopped in the car.
“I was like, ‘Fine, it’s kind of weird, but let’s go home,'” said Kozody, who lives in Calgary.
All those foreign workers gotta get paid ya know.

Accusations Toronto man planned nightmare Oct. 7 anniversary attack prompt warnings over ‘dangerous trend of terrorist activity’ in Canada
Canada is becoming a “breeding ground” for some terrorists and a safe haven for others, leading Jewish organizations say, after the arrest of a Toronto-based terrorism suspect who authorities allege was en route to carry out the mass slaughter of Jewish people in New York City.
“We’re deeply concerned at the ease at which radicalized individuals are being able to enter the country,” said Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith’s director of research and advocacy.
Robertson added B’nai Brith is concerned that some of the terrorists are homegrown, with radicalization occurring within Canadian borders.
I’m going out on a limb here I know but maybe just maybe it was a deliberate act by our elites to import a death cult that hates Canada.
They hate us as much as the Islamists do.
I can’t think of any other reason to import a death cult. Can you?
NANAIMO, B.C. — It’s become too obvious to hide. Liberal MPs publicly acknowledged Monday that some of their constituents want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to go. Using words like “too preachy” and “tired,” a handful of MPs told the Star there is a clear appetite for change, and some worry the prime minister’s unpopularity will affect their own bids for re-election.
There’s “a sentiment of exasperation, I would say, in many people,” offered Quebec MP Alexandra Mendès. “A lot of the comments bordered on, ‘We are sick and tired of being preached to.’”
Canadian politics has been thrown into further uncertainty this week. Jagmeet Singh, leader of the Left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP), announced that he was terminating the supply-and-confidence agreement which has sustained Justin Trudeau’s Liberal minority government since March 2022, adding that the ruling party is “too weak” and “too selfish” to stand up for ordinary Canadians.
Veteran broadcaster Charles Adler has inched closer to securing a $178,100-a-year position in the Canadian Senate, following a formal notice issued by the Liberal cabinet.
The announcement, made Saturday, confirmed that Adler, 70, will represent Manitoba at the request of the Prime Minister, despite his controversial history of inflammatory remarks about indigenous Manitobans.
Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney will be joining the Liberal Party as a special adviser.
In an official press release on Monday, the party says Carney will serve as the chair of a leader’s task force on economic growth.
“As chair of the leader’s task force on economic growth, Mark’s unique ideas and perspectives will play a vital role in shaping the next steps in our plan to continue to grow our economy and strengthen the middle class, and to urgently seize new opportunities for Canadian jobs and prosperity in a fast-changing world,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed (Vancouver Granville, BC) has told National Post Comment senior editor Terry Newman stop criticizing the Canadian government.
This is because the Canadian government has been providing the National Post with media subsidies to keep it operating, Noormohamed said
I’m sure that’s how things are done in ButtFuckistan where Noormohamed likely hails from making him a perfect fit for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party..
Joseph Fournier, 17, readily coughed up the dough in the cash register.
After all, he was just a gas station attendant working his way through high school.
But that night in October 1974 in Lawrence, Mass., his cooperation with a thug named William Horton and two accomplices didn’t matter. Horton — later better known as Willie — stabbed the boy 19 times, then stuffed his body in a trash can.
When the Bank of Canada cut interest rates last week, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said that it “shows that our economic plan is working.” But the fact is that real GDP per capita has declined for seven of the last eight quarters, shrinking cumulative growth since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office to a mere 0.6 per cent, versus a robust 16.4 per cent increase in the United States over the same time period.
‘I heard it from dozens and dozens of people — he’s no longer the right leader,’ Alexandra Mendes says
Quebec Liberal MP Alexandra Mendes said Monday she’s heard from “dozens and dozens” of constituents over the summer telling her it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside after nearly nine years at the top.
Speaking to Radio-Canada, CBC’s French-language service, on the sidelines of the Liberal caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., Mendes said her constituents are “very adamant the prime minister needs to go.”
MONTREAL — It’s considered a Liberal fortress, but these days it feels like the ramparts of Lasalle—Émard—Verdun are shaking. Who knows? Maybe the byelection here on Sept. 16 could send the Trudeau Liberals to the dungeons.
Daniel Wiseman isn’t sure yet how he wants things to turn out. The lifelong separatist who has lived in Verdun for over 30 years has no idea who he will vote for in just over a week.
OTTAWA — The summer ride is over. So too is the Justin Trudeau listening tour.
The prime minister spent much of two months meeting in small groups or individually with nervous Liberal MPs, many angry after the June loss of a supposedly safe Toronto seat to the Conservatives.
Trudeau also spent two months running, paddling, boxing and bounding from one summer festival to another, taking thousands of selfies with Canadians who appeared not to have read polls about how disliked he is.
