PM Carney says government has ‘taken back control’ of immigration – Except for those 50,000 Indians on student visas who have disappeared

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government has “taken back control” of immigration.

The prime minister made the remarks at a press conference in Red Deer, Alta., after being asked about the upcoming referendum that will ask Albertans how they want the province to deal with immigration.


Carney never lets reality get in the way of his BS.

Ex-Liberal MP allegedly promised to pay back millions only if lenders didn’t complain to Law Society of Ontario

Ex-Liberal MP allegedly promised to pay back millions only if lenders didn’t complain to Law Society of Ontario

Former Liberal MP and lawyer Raj Grewal allegedly told lenders he’d only pay back money he owed them if they avoided complaining to Ontario’s legal regulator or the police about his allegedly fraudulent actions, according to the Law Society of Ontario.

The accusation is contained in written legal arguments the Law Society recently filed in a bid to have Grewal’s licence suspended and to prevent “a significant risk of harm to the public.”

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canada’s population decline may just be a distant memory after the data is updated. In June, Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) population estimate contained a stark warning that its data will see an unusually large revision. CIBC economists expect the revision will be large enough to reverse the reported declines and expose a new problem—Canada’s job numbers may be worse than reported, and there’s no longer an excuse for poor economic growth.

Canadian Security Agencies Cleared China-linked NATO Suspect Vetting Despite a Court Finding of Fraud in Her CBSA Job Application

Canadian Security Agencies Cleared China-linked NATO Suspect Vetting Despite a Court Finding of Fraud in Her CBSA Job Application

OTTAWA — The Canadian woman of Chinese origin held in Belgium on suspicion of spying inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) military command for a third country, and of membership in a criminal organization, was vetted by CSIS and the RCMP and cleared for the posting — despite a finding by Canada’s public service watchdog that she committed fraud in a hiring competition run by the CBSA, CSIS’s sister agency inside the Public Safety Canada portfolio.

The Federal Court upheld that finding in a published judgment 11 months before she took up her post at allied command.

Judicial review of ethics ruling in Trudeau We Charity case can proceed, Supreme Court says

Judicial review of ethics ruling in Trudeau We Charity case can proceed, Supreme Court says

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada says a watchdog group can pursue a court challenge of a federal ethics report on Justin Trudeau’s involvement in decisions about WE Charity.

In May 2021, then-federal ethics commissioner Mario Dion concluded that Trudeau, prime minister at the time, did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act when he participated in decisions concerning WE Charity, which operated in Canada and abroad.

The group Democracy Watch applied soon after for judicial review of Dion’s ruling in the Federal Court of Appeal.

Rob Breakenridge: Canadians would be better off without supply management

It’s curious that Donald Trump would be so fixated on Canadian trade practices if he, as he stated this week, doesn’t care about updating the current trade agreement and that he’d “rather be independent.”

It’s also interesting that the U.S. president is so bothered by Canada’s dairy protectionism, when he himself is such a defender of tariffs as smart and sound economic policy. The U.S. certainly maintains all sorts of agricultural protectionism policies, notably the tariffs and cartel system that protect the U.S. sugar industry.

Liberal Party Scraps Netflix Tax Decides It’s Easier To Make You Pay For All That CanCon Crap You’ll Never Watch

Ottawa plans to end ‘Netflix tax,’ replace with public Canadian content funding: document

The federal government will “eliminate” the financial contribution requirement for streamers set by the CRTC and replace it with government funding, it said in a court document.

“We are instructed to inform the court that the government’s intention is to eliminate the base contribution requirement on streaming services and to provide government funding to replace those contributions,” the attorney general’s office said in a document dated July 17.

But the Canadian Association of Broadcasters says it has heard a different message.

So called “Canadian” woman accused of spying at NATO on behalf of Carney’s security partner China worked for multiple Liberal government agencies

So called “Canadian” woman accused of spying at NATO on behalf of Carney’s security partner China worked for multiple Liberal government agencies

The Canadian woman recently arrested by Belgian authorities on suspicion of spying appears to have worked for multiple government agencies before her NATO internship.

A CBC News investigation has identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, a systems engineer with a background in economics whose online resume suggests she previously worked for the Canadian Space Agency and Statistics Canada.

Zhang’s public and professional profiles match the information Belgian prosecutors provided, which described the suspect as a “Canadian national of Chinese origin” who was an intern at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the military headquarters of NATO in Mons, Belgium.


Carney will welcome her home and allow her to return to China.

Marty York: Carney’s antisemitism council fiddles while Jewish businesses burn

Marty York: Carney’s antisemitism council fiddles while Jewish businesses burn

Members of the Canadian Jewish community, particularly in Toronto, are apoplectic with rage after a pair of bagel shops were damaged on Sunday, in what police are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime.

One of the bakeries, in the beating heart of midtown Toronto, was hit by gunfire. The other is located at the northern tip of Toronto and is rich with Jewish heritage. Both are owned by Kiva’s Bagel Bakery and Restaurant, a beloved Toronto institution that has been cherished by many, including myself, for decades.


This useless committee has devolved into a victimhood contest.

Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

This year, Canada’s population decreased, the first time since Confederation 160 years ago.

The reasons vary, but include a reduction in mass immigration, a very low birthrate and a stagnant economy sending ambitious Canadians to — horror of horrors! — the brutal nation just to the south.


That decrease is smoke and mirrors. The Liberals continue to import replacement migrants.

Jews Are Leaving Canada in Droves

Jews Are Leaving Canada in Droves

Gad Saad has lived in Canada since his family fled Lebanon in 1975 after someone showed up at their home to kill them. But last month, the professor of marketing and evolutionary behavioral sciences announced on social media that he had given up on Canada and decided to leave.

“The taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire,” Saad wrote about the first reason for his decision. It’s true. The typical Canadian pays 70 percent more in income taxes than the typical American. The second reason is far more alarming. “The government’s open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred),” he wrote.

OTTAWA — Canada’s top federal sports official says he’s “concerned” about new eligibility rules limiting Olympic women’s events to biological females, but says the changes are unlikely to stop Canada from trying to host the Olympics in the future.

Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden told reporters in Calgary on Monday that he was worried about the International Olympic Committee’s plan to roll out mandatory genetic screening for all athletes competing in the female category.

Canadians returning from ISIS ‘highly likely’ to pose threat, intelligence report says

A group of Canadians detained overseas for allegedly being part of ISIS will “highly likely” pose a threat when they return home, warns an intelligence document obtained by Global News.

The Integrated Threat Assessment Centre report was written in June, after Iraq said it had taken custody of an unspecified number of ISIS members from Canada.

The suspects are liable to contribute to extremism once they returned to Canada, “either directly through an act of violence or indirectly by radicalizing others,” the intelligence report said.


Bet they’re considered cultural assets by the LPC.

Indian students arranged marriages of convenience for spouse work permits to Canada, warned New Delhi migration official

The number of Indian undergraduate students applying to come to Canada has dropped over the past few years, in part because Ottawa ended a program granting the spouses of international students work permits, an internal government communication shows.

The communication discloses how marriages of convenience by some Indian students had enabled their spouses to accompany them to this country to work and to help them pay for their studies.
