Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

Asylum seekers are sleeping on Toronto streets again. How did we end up here?

Hundreds of people — including those seeking asylum — have once again taken to sleeping on Toronto’s streets in front of shelters and churches.

The city’s shelter system is once again at capacity, turning away nearly 300 people a day, the city said Thursday. While it’s continuously moving “dozens” of people from overflowing churches to shelters, hotels or permanent housing where possible, it is nowhere close to meeting demand, said Lindsay Broadhead, the city’s chief communication officer.

Pic. Just up the road from me is a Citizenship and Immigration office.

On Saturdays a hired bus arrives and unloads what I suspect to be newly arrived “asylum seekers” as many as 30 0r 40 wait outside for processing.

CSIS Warned PM’s Adviser of Beijing’s Targeting of MPs, Contradicting Adviser’s, Special Rapporteur’s Accounts

A second national security adviser to the prime minister got a warning in 2021 from the nation’s spy agency that Beijing was targeting MPs, a classified document obtained by The Epoch Times shows, but he didn’t brief it up. Additionally, this detail was not included in the special rapporteur’s report on foreign interference.

The Epoch Times has obtained, through the access to information regime, a partly redacted Top Secret limited distribution briefing note the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) sent to a handful of government officials in May 2021, advising them it would conduct defensive briefings with the targeted MPs.

Roxham Road is closed. So why are asylum claims still on the rise?

In March, Washington and Ottawa agreed to close Roxham Road, the small alley in Quebec through which thousands of asylum seekers have entered Canada from the United States, bypassing customs. Nearly 40,000 people entered Canada through Roxham Road in 2022; there were a record 91,710 claimants last year.

So despite the closing, why has Canada already processed more than 80,000 applications from asylum seekers so far this year?

Governor General Spent Over $117,000 on Dry Cleaning Since 2018: Taxpayer’s Federation

Gov. Gen. Mary Simon has spent over $117,000 on dry cleaning since 2018, according to records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).

“When I spill half the Pizza Hut lunch buffet on my white work shirt, I don’t stick the company I work for with the dry-cleaning bill, and neither should the governor general,” said CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano in a release. “This is another perk the governor general enjoys that struggling Canadians can’t afford.”

How in Hell is that even possible? Who owns her preferred dry cleaner?

Philip Cross: Young people’s unhappiness isn’t older generations’ fault

Statistics Canada last week released a sobering but hardly surprising study of the current state of young people in Canada. Many cannot find affordable housing, forcing 43 per cent of 20 to 29-year-olds to live with their parent(s). Nearly 40 per cent believe they can’t afford to have a child over the next three years. Others are having trouble entering the labour market, a problem shared by most youth cohorts but which seems particularly challenging today because of technology. More broadly, Statcan notes young people’s mental health has been declining steadily since 2003, with feelings of loneliness rising and attachment to community declining.

WARMINGTON: Homeless enjoy fancy food as Anthony Rota’s garden party cancelled

Let them eat scallops!

Make that seared and crusted scallops, poached shrimp, pulled beef barbacoa and, of course, lamb meatballs.

The homeless will be eating well in Ottawa Friday. Or maybe, more accurately, they are enjoying the spoils of Canada’s parliamentarians.

Immigration drives massive Canadian population increase: StatCan

OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says immigration is almost solely responsible for the largest annual population boom Canada has seen since 1957.

The newly released data shows Canada’s population grew by more than a million people between from July 2022 to July 2023, which represents an increase of about three per cent.

Canada also saw a massive 46 per cent increase in the number of temporary residents in Canada over the same period.

The Liberal party are vicious animals.

Why Did Trudeau Dawdle on Chinese Election Meddling?

After months of resisting the idea, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a major public inquiry tasked with investigating how China has meddled in Canadian politics.

The reversal, amid miserable domestic polling numbers and intense pressure from the opposition parties and media, comes after more than a year of revelations about Beijing’s efforts to interfere in Canada—largely to the advantage of Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

Trudeau’s ex-‘special rapporteur’ on Chinese meddling gave millions in contracts to preferred consultants

Records show Canada’s former Governor General David Johnston, who was appointed as “special rapporteur” to lead the investigation into Chinese election interference by family “friend” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier in the year but resigned in disgrace, gave out millions in sweetheart contracts to preferred consultants.

Trudeau government has no means to deal with expected flood of 1.4 million international student applications a year by 2027, document shows

Ottawa forecasts 1.4 million international student applications a year by 2027, document shows

The number of foreign students applying to come to Canada each year is forecast by the federal immigration department to rise to 1.4 million by 2027, an internal policy document says, which also raises concerns that such growth is “unsustainable.”

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada forecast the rapid rise in the number of foreign students in a paper last month about establishing a class of “trusted” universities and colleges, which would qualify for faster processing of international student study permits.

China’s ‘CEO Whisperers’: Chinese Communist Party Takes Over Canada

 

“When I look… at the subtle but intense influence of China on Canadian institutions — parliaments, provincial governments, local governments, universities, the intellectual community, the policy community — it makes me deadly worried,” said Australian professor Clive Hamilton, author of Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping the World (co-authored by Mareike Ohlberg), speaking to Canada’s National Post in 2019. “I’ve met some very well-informed Canadians who aren’t sure Canada will be able to extricate itself from this situation.”

7 years not enough to build the millions of homes needed to fix affordability, warns economist

Canada has no chance of building the additional millions of homes Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. projects would be needed to restore housing affordability over the next seven years, according to the chief economist of Desjardins Group.

Speaking at a panel on the current housing market crisis hosted by the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Sept. 12, Desjardins’ Jimmy Jean said it took “not seven years, not 10 years, not 15 years, but 30 years” to build the last 5.8 million homes in Canada.

This issue alone should kill Trudeau but Canada is a pretty messed up Banana republic.

I doubt his base will abandon Junior and all he needs is a good showing by the NDP to remain in power.

The “Affordability issue” may be tamped down if home owner equity is protected by the ongoing shortage. This will be especially true of eastern urban centres, traditional LPC strongholds. People vote with their wallets.

Do not expect significantly lowered immigration targets, the emerging narrative is to caution against blaming “immigrants” when a made in Canada “housing crisis” is really to blame.

The narrative implies that criticism of an extraordinarily callous mass immigration policy that stresses all of Canada’s infrastructure to the breaking point is criticism of immigrants and of course that’s racist.

In short the same old same old – Canadian citizens are labeled racist whenever they attempt to stand up for their own best interests against the UNIPARTY and their corporate cronies.

MP Michael Chong testifies before U.S. lawmakers about being target of Chinese foreign interference

Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong, a repeated target of Chinese government intimidation, told U.S. congressional hearings Tuesday that Ottawa and Washington need a co-ordinated response to Beijing’s concerted efforts to interfere in Western democracies and bullying of diaspora communities.

Mr. Chong received a rare invitation to speak to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, an 18-member panel of Senators and House of Representatives that monitors human abuses in China and is examining Beijing’s global repression campaign.

Poll finds more than half of Canadians want fewer immigrants than Ottawa’s target

More than half of Canadians want the federal government to accept fewer immigrants than it is planning for in 2023, a new poll shows – a rise from one in three in March.

The poll also found that 55 per cent of Canadians want Canada to accept fewer international students than the 900,000 expected by the government this year.

A Nanos poll for The Globe and Mail found a rise of almost 20 percentage points in the past six months in the number of Canadians who think this country should accept fewer immigrants than Ottawa’s 2023 target of 465,000.
