MORGAN: Trudeau is down but not out

Everybody is an environmentalist. At least, they are until its time to pay the bill. Then the tune changes dramatically. The Trudeau regime is discovering this the hard way as support for their government continues its freefall in public support.

Climate change doesn’t mean a damn thing to Canadians when they can’t make the rent or fill the refrigerator. Canadians are seeing the link between economically damaging climate taxes and policies and the difficulty in making ends meet. They are rightly taking it out on the federal Liberals.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Another sham inquiry into foreign interference

Is Judge Marie-Josée Hogue the new David Johnston? The Quebec Court of Appeals judge was appointed in early September to head the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, months after “special rapporteur” Johnston had concluded that an inquiry wasn’t necessary.

Mideast ministers to discuss resolution to Israel-Hamas war with Joly, Trudeau in Ottawa

A group of foreign ministers from the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are in Ottawa today for a quietly planned meeting with Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly to discuss attempts to end the Israel-Hamas war.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also joined the talks, arranged to see how countries such as Canada can help efforts to secure peace for Palestinians and Israelis, after Hamas militants launched a deadly rampage in Israel on Oct. 7.

We will all pay for Ottawa’s fiscal madness

It appears Justin Trudeau’s government has abandoned the goal of ever balancing its budget. In her fall economic update, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland laid out her new fiscal policy. And it’s deficits all the way to the horizon.

Rather than setting forward a plan to work back to a surplus after years of red ink, Freeland indulged in sleight of hand.

Expect fewer international students in wake of raised income requirements, advocate says

An international student at Memorial University in St. John’s says federal changes to the amount of required income for international students will provide transparency on what is needed to live in Canada but will also likely reduce the number of students who choose to study in the country.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced new rules Thursday that will increase the amount of money that prospective international students will need to study in Canada.

As a way to cut down on fraudulent applications, Miller said, students will need to show they have access to $20,635 instead of $10,000.

This program was always a scam, nothing will change.

Surging cost of living fuels reverse immigration from Trudeau’s economic disaster

TORONTO, Dec 9 (Reuters) – The dream of making it big in Canada is turning into a battle for survival for many immigrants due to the high cost of living and rental shortages, as rising emigration numbers hints to newcomers being forced to turn their back on a country that they chose to make their adopted home.

Trudeau has made immigration his main weapon to blunt Canada’s big challenge of an aging and slowing population, and it has also helped fuel economic growth. That drove Canada’s population up at its fastest clip in more than six decades this year, Statistics Canada said.

Pierre Poilievre’s housing movie: What it gets right and wrong, and what was left unsaid

… Which brings me back to the elephant in the room, which Housing hell never mentions: immigration.

In the long run, over decades and centuries, Canada can match housing supply to housing demand, regardless of whether the national population is 40 million or 400 million. But in the here and now, a surge in new arrivals, particularly since the pandemic – with one million new residents in 2022, and likely more this year – has introduced housing demand at a far faster pace than supply can be built.

It’s simple math. There’s no getting around it. And both the Prime Minister and the man after his job would rather not talk about it.

Finally.

Current levels of temporary immigration are unsustainable

Canada and Quebec experienced a sudden and unexpected explosion in their populations in 2022. At 2.4% and almost 1.8% respectively, this is the strongest one-year population growth in at least half a century.

The main source of this explosion is the extraordinarily high level of temporary immigration. However, political leaders tend to focus their attention purely on the number of permanent immigrants (for example, 500,000 in Canada in 2025, or 50,000 to 60,000 in Quebec in 2027) and “omit” temporary immigration.

This is a serious error of assessment.

Liberals hike income requirement for foreign students, targeting ‘puppy mill’ schools

OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Ottawa will require foreigners applying to study in Canada to have double the amount of funds currently required.

Miller says the change is among those meant to ensure international students aren’t left vulnerable to sketchy employers and unable to afford life in Canada.

He is also warning provinces the Liberals might limit visas if colleges and universities don’t adequately support students, but he tells reporters that governments need to have more conversations before such changes.

This is garbage. The Liberals are doing their best to keep the scam going. No one will be monitoring results of the “fix.”

Always a silver lining … York University’s low enrolment and reliance on international students putting school at risk: auditor general

York University’s reliance on international students from China and India, as well as its steadily decreasing domestic enrolment, is putting the institution at risk, according to Ontario’s auditor general.

A report released by acting auditor general Nick Stavropoulos on Wednesday found that 23 per cent of the university’s undergraduate programs had 20 or fewer students enrolled.

Despite this, the number of senior administrators have increased by 37 per cent between 2018-19 and 2022-23. The audit found that 250 new positions had been added primarily to academic staff and faculty while tuition revenue and government grant funding remained flat.

Trudeau’s Canada: Refugees and newcomers changing face of homelessness according to Calgary front-line workers

Calgary outreach worker Chaz Smith and his team of volunteers have been distributing food, clothes and referrals for services to the city’s unhoused for nine years.

The founder of BeTheChangeYYC says most of those facing homelessness during that time have been Caucasian or Indigenous.

But these days, he’s noticing more newcomer faces.

Keep those immigrant floodgates open.

Terry Glavin: Nope, Trudeau hasn’t been ‘vindicated’ on India murder allegations

It’s been a full week since federal prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment that lays out an aborted murder-for-hire plot hatched in India last spring, and there’s still nothing to warrant claims by the federal government and its friends that the news is a vindication of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s melodramatic detonation of Indo-Canadian relations in September.

GUNTER: Trudeau’s eco ego stifling investment in Canada

Why does it seem that every time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault have a big environmental announcement to make — that affects the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Alberta workers and small businesspeople — they make those announcements outside the country? The latest example was Guilbeault’s release of stringent new methane emission regulations announced Monday.

Conservatives say credibility of foreign interference probe undermined by denying them full standing in first phase

The Official Opposition is criticizing the judge running the public inquiry into foreign interference for not granting the Conservative Party full standing in the first phase of this probe, a decision that means they cannot ask questions of witnesses or gain access to any secret evidence gathered.

The first part of the foreign interference inquiry will examine foreign interference by states such as China in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The second phase will examine what reforms are necessary to fight foreign interference.

Robyn Fryer Bodzin: Mélanie Joly’s feminist foreign policy has no room for Jewish rape victims

For a country with a ‘feminist foreign policy,’ Canada has remained remarkably silent about Hamas’s sexual violence

If the #MeToo movement taught us anything, it’s that victims of sexual assault should be given the benefit of the doubt and supported as they seek help and justice. Canada has embraced this support of women’s rights and has formally applied it to its foreign policy, with Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly proudly touting the government’s application of a feminist lens to international aid and other endeavours.

Liberals look like a ‘party on autopilot’ headed for ‘a car crash,’ say political players

With the Liberal Party’s public support dropping like a stone, political insiders say it appears the governing party is headed “for a crash,” and that it urgently needs to press the reset button yet again to try to change this trend, while others say the Liberals have “already crashed,” and the question has turned to whether and how they can recover from this slide.

“This looks like a party on autopilot moving towards a car crash,” said Nik Nanos, chief data scientist for Nanos Research, in an interview with The Hill Times.
