Immigration Department Researching Whether ‘Climate Refugees’ Will Flee to Canada

The Department of Immigration is conducting research on whether people fleeing the effects of climate change will attempt to enter Canada, as the law does not currently recognize “climate considerations” as grounds to claim refugee status.

“Canada is investing in projects that aim to strengthen data and evidence related to climate mobility in order to deepen our understanding of who is on the move and people’s considerations in deciding whether to move,” Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada wrote to the Senate National Finance Committee, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

I guess word was sent to make more bogus reasons to keep the mass immigration scam going.

It cancels out every Liberal housing promise and then some: Canada’s biggest immigration surge in 70 years

Even though the Trudeau government has made no secret of dialling up immigration to historic highs, the latest Statistics Canada figures on population growth are still jaw-dropping. In just three months (from July 1 to Oct. 1), Canada added an extra 430,635 people – only four per cent of which could be attributed to births. For just the first nine months of 2023, Statistics Canada noted that the country had seen a higher level of population growth than “any other full-year period since Confederation in 1867.”

Trudeau asks for more time to really screw things up for good

Trudeau says people are frustrated, but now is time for ‘doubling down’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he knows people are frustrated with him, especially the same young voters who helped propel his party to a majority government in 2015.

“Those young people eight years later are having trouble paying the rent, worried about their future in ways that are just as tangible, if not more, because of the global context we’re in,” Trudeau told Global News Ottawa bureau chief Mercedes Stephenson in a year-end interview.

“I didn’t make a promise that I was going to make things better for them and then walk away after four years or even after eight years. I said I’d be there to fight for them every single day.”

Only fools and grifters vote for Trudeau.

Gwyn Morgan: How will higher immigration fix our health care and housing crises?

… The government says we need all these immigrants to make up for a shortage of skilled workers. Permanent immigrants fall into four broad categories: economic (a.k.a., “skilled”), family reunification, refugees and protected persons, plus one more category listed as “humanitarian, compassionate and others.” Economic immigrants make up about 60 per cent of the total. But how many of these skilled immigrants are being added to the already massive number of government employees? The answer to that question is alarming.

A recent Fraser Institute study found that between February 2020 and June 2023 government-sector job growth dwarfed private-sector growth in all 10 provinces, with the number of government jobs increasing by 11.8 per cent, compared to just 3.3 per cent in the private sector. The number of government bureaucrats increased by a whopping 446,000 over that period.

Key Prosperity Indicator falls for 5th straight quarter under Trudeau government

A key indicator to measure living standards has dropped for the fifth consecutive quarter in Canada, with the latest reading being called “unprecedented outside a recession” by the National Bank.

The bank’s Monthly Economic Monitor for December and January says that GDP per capita recorded an annualized contraction of 4.4 percent in the third quarter.

The indicator measures the economic output per countries’ populations. Statistics Canada said in a mid-November analysis that per capita output and business productivity are “trending lower” and below pre-pandemic levels.

Can we talk about immigration?

The Trudeau Liberals have begun to find words to describe how they broke Canada’s immigration system, which was once a model for the world. But they have yet to start fixing what they broke. Instead, the breaking continues. At breakneck speed.

Statistics Canada’s quarterly estimate of the country’s non-permanent population shows it rose to 2½ million this fall, from 1.7 million a year earlier. At this rate, the number of temporary residents could grow to around four million by the end of next year – roughly 10 per cent of the Canadian population.

This is unprecedented. In 2000, Canada had 227,000 temporary residents.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning.

Metro Vancouver mayor blasts federal government for immigration policy

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is speaking out on the latest population growth numbers in B.C. and across the country.

“My message to the federal government is they’ve got to come back to reality,” said West.

B.C. has seen a record-setting net international migration of more than 150,000 people so far in 2023. It’s part of a larger national trend(opens in a new tab), with Canada surpassing the 40 million population mark.

“The number is overwhelming,” West told CTV News. “You cannot build enough to keep up with the number of people who are seeking housing.”

Ottawa’s EV Mandate Results in Grants to China at Cost of Domestic Producers: Auto Association Head

Ottawa’s $5,000 EV consumer incentive is fuelling the import of Chinese-made Teslas to Canada and lining the pockets of a firm with no manufacturing presence in the country at the expense of companies that invest domestically, says a proponent of Canada’s automotive industry.

“The federal government is about to launch an EV market scheme that grants companies making cars in China and Vietnam with millions of dollars in credits,” said Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association president Flavio Volpe in a social media post.

‘Excessive’ Immigration Is Putting Pressure on Inflation: Scotiabank Economist

Canada’s rapid population growth is putting pressure on inflation and further interest rate hikes are a distinct possibility despite predictions saying otherwise, according to a Scotiabank economist.

Derek Holt, vice-president and head of capital markets economics at Scotiabank, remarked in a Dec. 19 note evaluating the latest inflation data that “Canada’s torrid rate of population growth is adding to inflationary pressures.”

Danielle Smith vows to fight Trudeau’s ‘unconstitutional’ plan to ban gas-powered cars

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith made it crystal clear that she intends to fight with “everything” at her disposal what she called an “unconstitutional” new federal government mandate that all new cars and trucks by 2035 be electric, which would in effect ban the sale of new gasoline- or diesel- only powered vehicles after that year.

GUNTER: Another costly Liberal solution to a non-existent problem

Trust the Trudeau government to pick the wrong solution to the wrong problem.

Most headlines about Tuesday’s announcement regarding electric vehicle (EV) sales in Canada had pretty much the same theme: Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced that 20% of all new vehicles sold in Canada “must be” EVs by 2026.

Justin Trudeau fears Pierre Poilievre is bringing Trump-style politics to Canada

Justin Trudeau is worried Canada is vulnerable to the spread of the far right in the United States, and says no one should be smugly assuming that this country is immune to its influence.

In a candid and personal interview with his old friend Terry DiMonte, Trudeau talked at length about the angry climate in Canada and the U.S., and what he sees as near “nihilism” infecting political discourse.

“There is something that is changing right now,” Trudeau said. “Donald Trump was a symptom of that, not a cause … There is a level of anger and ‘burn down the institutions’ and almost nihilism that’s creeping in, in all of our countries.”

Trudeau states he will continue in quest to destroy Canada

‘Do you think I could walk away?’ Justin Trudeau laughs off suggestions he’ll take a ‘walk in the snow’

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed suggestions that he would be stepping down as Liberal leader anytime soon, as his father Pierre Elliott Trudeau did nearly 40 years ago during his now famous “walk in the snow.”

The subject came up during his hour-long annual holiday chat with his friend, former radio host Terry DiMonte — a tradition that Trudeau has held long before he entered politics and that DiMonte noted is “not a hard-hitting journalist interview” but rather a friendly discussion.

Canadian Senator promised to support members in CCP’s United Front: Audio Tapes

In a private briefing in May 2020, Senator Yuen Pau Woo promised to shield members of Beijing’s “United Front” from critical scrutiny in Canada for taking pro-China stances on controversial issues such as the treatment of Uyghurs.

Woo’s pledges of support for United Front organizations are captured in recordings of his meeting with Canada Committee 100 Society, a Vancouver group with ties to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
