At least six current superior court justices may have paid to meet with the prime minister or the deputy prime minister at Liberal Party fundraisers shortly before being appointed.
These findings come in the wake of an earlier analysis by the National Post and the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF), which found that over three times as many Liberal party donors have been appointed to judicial office than Conservative donors since 2016.
This week, Vancouver’s Fraser Institute put out tables showing the median employment income in the 141 largest cities in North America.
The highest-ranked Canadian city is Ottawa because bureaucrats have higher incomes on average than private-sector workers. Still, our nation’s capital was only 53rd best on the continent.
But mass immigration doesn’t depress wages! Justin said so!
Canada should follow US lead in decoupling from China, says business professor
The global economy has been waiting for China’s post-COVID economic boom, but that has not materialized. And the opposite could well be playing out, with analysts saying Canada has yet another reminder to wean itself off China.
At issue is China’s bloated property market, which by some estimates makes up over 25 percent of China’s economy. At risk are commodity prices, which had been given a long-term boost from China’s overbuilding of real estate.
Decouple from China? It won’t happen.
The sole purpose of the Liberal Party is to ensure that our China Class is able to enrich themselves at the ChiCom trough.
In return the LPC and friends surrender our nation’s sovereignty to their ChiCom masters.
Canada’s mass immigration plan is heating up and it’s accelerating. The impact of this plan will be devastating to the country in a variety of ways including the economy, scarce housing, overloaded health care, collapsing education, and unaffordable social programs.
This is a tsunami of mass immigration.
Transportation costs for the Governor General during her first full year in office cost nearly $3 million.
Data from government documents put the cost of flying Governor General Mary Simon to four overseas engagements and 17 domestic trips across Canada last year at $2.78 million, spread across a number of government departments and ministries.
That number may still climb, as receipts from 2022 are still being tallied.
OTTAWA – If Canada reduces the number of international student visas, as Housing Minister Sean Fraser mused this week, it would be a serious blow to colleges and universities who increasingly need those students to balance their books.
Fraser, who was in the immigration portfolio just last month, said he is concerned about the more than 800,000 students Canada accepted last year, worried that many do not have access to good housing when they arrive and distort local rental markets.
‘Different factors’ fuel housing crisis, not international students: Trudeau
“We have to be very careful. Over the past years, we’ve seen a lot of different people and a lot of different groups blamed for the housing crisis. At one point it was foreign homebuyers. At another point it was developers being super aggressive. Another point, it was under-investments by various orders of government. Now it’s people saying, ‘Oh, it’s international students,’” Trudeau said.
“Yes, there’s a lot of different factors that go into this housing crisis. But it’s something that has been brewing and developing over the past number of decades.”
Trudeau can’t help but lie, it’s his nature and he will never accept blame for his monumental screw-up of Canada’s immigration policy.
Trudeau initiated a Mass Immigration scam on an unheard of scale without a thought to how it would overwhelm our infrastructure and price Canadians out of decent housing. The deep thinkers in the Liberal Party have determined that making everyone poorer is sound economic strategy.
Those “foreign home buyers” Justin mentions were laundering hundreds of millions from Trudeau’s admired dictatorship of Communist China. Small wonder the foreign influence inquiry seems dead in the water.
The mass immigration scam was bolstered by Trudeau’s abuse of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program which allows his Corporate Class Cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
The international student ruse is just another way to sell Canadian citizenship and add to the pool of cheap labour Justin’s corporate cronies desire. Currently 800,000 “students” compete for housing with hard pressed Canadians.
Having some of our uber woke universities go bust is a good thing since so many solely focus on turning out racist grievance mongers and other degenerates.
Maybe business should pay a higher wage, I do not believe only “desperate small business owners” rely on foreign student labour, that sounds like a Chamber of Commerce talking point.
KAMOURASKA, QUE.—The summer is almost over, and with it, the massive retreat of urban visitors from the rural areas that are Canada’s summer playgrounds. I see them from June until now on the Trans-Canada Highway nearby, the Ontario licence plates speeding east to Atlantic Canada, or returning back. They may be tourists who decided to pass on Maine or Massachusetts this year, or they are folks from “down home” visiting family and friends before returning “upalong.”
This is self evident in light of the housing crisis Trudeau’s liberal party created and its “effort” to solve it.
The Liberals will not back down on their mass immigration scam which according to their top thinkers will make everyone richer by making everyone poorer.
They know mass immigration will continue to drive up the cost of rent and home ownership.
They also know that no magic wand exists to create new housing and it will be many years before supply meets demand.
The increase in costs is naturally higher in urban centres that attract the most immigrants.
Unfortunately demand is so great the increase in housing costs has spread far beyond urban borders and now small towns feel the same pressures city dwellers do.
However the large urban centres like The GTA and Montreal also happen to be Liberal Party strongholds.
Strongholds they’ll need in order to form yet another minority government with Sell-Out Singh.
Do you think the Liberals are going to trash the Home Equity their most consistent supporters have accrued?
Me neither.
Trudeau’s cronies know their cue: Toronto-area home building shifts into low gear as developers pause or cancel projects
Remember the 1990s? It was an innocent time when globalization was lifting all boats. Massive, multilateral trading agreements were all the rage. And any trade disputes were modest irritations that could be smoothed over with a few glasses of chardonnay.
Fast forward to the 2020s, and everything has shifted. The brave new world of neoliberal economics has been rocked to its core. And now geopolitical tensions are sparking some very unpleasant shocks to global trade.
Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser
Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.
“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.
This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.
Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
Of course it is Junior – Trudeau Says Immigration a ‘Solution’ to Housing Shortage
This week, Donald Trump and 18 others were indicted under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, modeled on the U.S.’s federal RICO statute. That indictment is based on an alleged conspiracy “to unlawfully change the outcome” of the 2020 presidential election.
For some Canadians, however, it has raised a more local question: why doesn’t Canada have such a law to tackle the international drug cartels and vast money-laundering operations that are also helping fuel the opioid crisis?
Why don’t we? Because Justin Trudeau’s commie friends have come rely on Laundering money through Canada.
When Vijay Jayaraj was growing up in India, power blackouts were frequent. He said the blackouts affected everything from schooling to employment—because when there was no power, it was difficult to get much done.
He pointed to the cotton industry of South India, a major employer.
“But all the industries were disrupted whenever there were phases … of continuous blackouts, eventually translating into thousands of lost jobs,” he told The Epoch Times
So Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault is going to Beijing from Aug. 26–31 to cuddle up to the Chinese Communist Party.
If you think that is too strong a contention, consider how Guilbeault is executive vice chairperson on the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).
Guilbeault’s loyalty is not to Canada.
With Steven Guilbeault set to be the first Canadian cabinet minister to visit China since 2018, questions have been raised about his role with a Chinese regime environmental body.
Mr. Guilbeault, in charge of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), will go to China from Aug. 26 to 31 to participate in the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).
Elizabeth May frustrated by lack of detail in top secret documents on foreign interference
“We don’t know their motives. We don’t know who they are and they seem to think that they can be protected by their own narrative that they’re whistleblowers,” said May. “I don’t buy it.
“Every Canadian should care to ensure that our security and intelligence establishment be reliable, that the people who work there take their oath seriously.”
The CSIS Whistleblower performed an invaluable public service in shining a light on China’s influence over a corrupt Liberal government and in revealing the extent of the rot caused by Canada’s China class. May is unfit to carry water for the unknown CSIS staffer.
Desperate calls by schools to urge local homeowners to rent out their rooms; students paying $650 a month to live three-to-a room in college towns boasting monthly rents upward of $2,000; a viral TikTok video purports to show an international student living under a bridge in Scarborough, Ont.
Housing is a complicated issue. It will take co-ordination, cash, and time to fix. But in the short term, there is at least one glaringly obvious – if surely controversial – way to help ease the challenge of finding affordable rental accommodation: We need to stop issuing so many international student visas.
