The number of Mexican asylum seekers in Canada has increased dramatically

MONTREAL – Canada has seen a spike in the number of Mexicans seeking asylum here this year, with the vast majority of them coming to Montreal. They say they are fleeing Mexico in search of jobs and safety, but statistics show most applicants from the country are rejected.

Ricardo Santos, 28, arrived at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport on Oct. 4. He says that although he did not know much about Canada, there was a direct flight to Montreal from Mexico City.

“I left because there is no work and there is a lot of violence,” Santos said in a recent interview outside a downtown YMCA, where he was staying while his refugee application was processed. “Mexico is becoming a more dangerous country.”

GOLDSTEIN: Taxpayers to pay billions subsidizing green energy investors

The Trudeau government is going to spend billions of taxpayers’ dollars subsidizing risky investments in green energy projects in order to compete for business with the United States.

That was the reality, as opposed to the rhetoric, contained in Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fall economic statement on Thursday.

Canadian Heritage Department Bought Maple Leaf Pins Made in China

The Department of Canadian Heritage bought over $300,000 worth of maple leaf pins made in China, according to records presented in the House of Commons, despite MPs condemning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for genocide last year.

According to a House “Inquiry of Ministry” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the department has spent exactly $344,513 over the past two years on Chinese-manufactured Canada flag pins.

Not an accident, just everyday Liberal corruption.

Ivison: Winter is coming, and Freeland’s not prepared to deal with it

The failure to correctly forecast income tax receipts over the past six months indicates that looking ahead five years may not be an exact science.

Federal budgets are where predictions go to die, so treat this year’s fall economic statement with the skepticism it deserves.

The fiscal update reveals that revenues were $40 billion higher than were projected in the April budget — less than six months ago. It also suggests that the budget will be back in surplus in the 2027-28 fiscal year.

Canada projected to see balanced budget by 2027, Freeland says in fiscal update

The fiscal update suggests a federal budgetary surplus is on the distant horizon for the first time since the Liberals came to power seven years ago, but that picture is clouded by a potential recession and promises to spend a lot more to support Canada’s transition to a clean and green economy.

The Liberals would also need to fight another election before getting there.

Freeland introduces mini-budget that promises support for low-income workers, students

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled her fall economic statement Thursday — a roadmap of what’s to come from the federal government as the economy stands on the brink of a recession.

While Freeland has promised fiscal prudence in this era of sky-high inflation, the budget proposes billions of dollars in new spending to help some of the people hit hardest by rising prices — including students and low-income workers — and to launch what she called “a real, robust industrial policy” to position Canada for economic growth.

The upshot: $30.6 billion in new spending over the next six years.

Loblaw tops big Canadian grocers in profit reports amid inflation surge: analysis

Canada’s top three grocers all posted higher profits this year compared with their average performances over the last five years, new research from Dalhousie University has found.

Critics have accused grocers of so-called greedflation, suggesting they are profiteering at a time when food prices are rising at the fastest rate in more than 40 years, and researchers say a lack of transparency in their financial results isn’t helping.

GOLDSTEIN: Ford and Trudeau are eroding our democratic rights

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to override collective bargaining rights poses the same threat to democracy as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act to override the rights of people protesting vaccine mandates.

Trudeau is guilty as charged but someone has to reign in the teachers & public service unions. Their collective greed impoverishes everyone else.

Freeland’s fall economic update to include measures for students and workers, pledge fiscal discipline

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will release a fall economic statement Thursday that includes new money for students and low-income workers, while also delivering a message that Ottawa is committed to fiscal discipline and won’t fan the flames of inflation.

Two government sources say the update will also include new details on the Canada Growth Fund, which was first announced in the April budget as a $15-billion plan to spur investment in a net-zero emission economy.

GUNTER: Using Emergencies Act shows Liberals are out of touch

There is a link between the Rouleau Commission and the Trudeau Liberals’ internet censorship law that is currently being debated in the Senate.

The overreaction of the Trudeau government to last winter’s Freedom Convoy (which has been very much on display at Justice Paul Rouleau’s ongoing inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act), and the government’s justification for Bill C-11 both show the Liberals neither understand nor trust ordinary Canadians.

They used the Emergencies Act because they are in touch – they know damn well they are reviled by decent Canadians nationwide.

Alleged Chinese Police Stations in Canada: How Did They Get Here? And Why Aren’t They Shut Down Yet?

Of all the countries where China has purportedly set up unofficial police stations, only Ireland has so far ordered its local one to be closed. Authorities in other countries, including in Canada, have at most said they are “investigating” the issue.

This came after a Spanish NGO, Safeguard Defenders, published a report in September alerting countries like Canada to these stations on their soil. The station in Dublin, Ireland, displayed a public sign, “Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station.” Other stations, such as the reported three in Toronto, are more subtle.

Free Bird: On Elon Musk and Twitter

In more than a decade on Twitter, Walter Kirn watched as the platform manipulated reality in real-time. Now? ‘Let the wild rumpus begin.’

Let me tell you about my strange time on Twitter, a so-called “social-media platform” of the early 21st century. In what I suspect is the increasing likelihood that digital records of our lives now will someday be erased, mislaid, or virtually composted in such a way as to make them irretrievable, the little story I’m about to tell may make little sense to future generations. It takes place during the period when the American establishment sought to control the flow of information in much the same way it once pursued dominion over resources such as land and oil.

This power grab caused a sort of virtual cold war, and I, as a consumer, a producer, and a conduit of information, got caught in it. Here is how the experience felt and how it went and a statement of what I hope will happen next, now that the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk promises a better, freer day.


If you want to see media manipulation at work closer to home read the comments at CBC announcing Trudeau’s plan to flood the nation with 500K of immigrants a year. The majority are not in favour of Justin’s plan to sell us out to his corporate friends. The immigration announcement was timed for release after a story was planted in Canadian media outlets this week pushing the lie that Canadians are overwhelmingly in favour of mass immigration. We are governed by criminals.

Special committee of MPs will see secret documents on firing of two Winnipeg infectious disease scientists

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

The federal government and the three main opposition parties have agreed to set up a special committee of MPs that will have unfettered access to all national security documents related to the firing of two infectious disease scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

Government House Leader Mark Holland said Tuesday that his Conservative, Bloc Québécois and NDP counterparts have signed a memorandum of understanding that will allow MPs on an ad hoc committee to learn why Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were dismissed in January, 2021. The committee will also see all secret documents involving the transfer of Ebola and Henipah viruses, overseen by Dr. Qiu, to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in March, 2019.
