Using immigration to fill vacant, lower-skilled jobs is not sound economic policy

Ask a Canadian why the government is increasing immigration and more often than not they will tell you: “to grow our economy.” Ask an economist and you’ll rarely get that answer.

Boosting the economic well-being of a population is indeed a worthwhile objective of immigration, but that requires more than simply making the economy bigger.

India’s economy is 60 per cent bigger than Canada’s and Switzerland’s is 60 per cent smaller. Is India’s economy what we are aiming for? Making the economic pie as big as possible is clearly not the objective. What matters is the size of the average slice when the pie is divided by the population.

It’s a great policy if your goal is to treat citizens like shit. Canada’s China Class loves it.

Accepted Pay For Play ChiCom Payoff: Board, CEO of Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation steps down

Citing politicization of a 2016 donation allegedly orchestrated by the Chinese government, the board of directors for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has stepped aside.

A statement posted to the foundation’s website early Tuesday morning broke the news, saying President and CEO Pascale Fournier and the board made the decision to jointly resign.

“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the foundation’s management and volunteer board of directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” read the statement.

Is Canada’s China Class starting to sweat?

Liberal-NDP coalition excludes the Anti-Woke Left

It has been just over one year since the Liberal-NDP coalition formed a confidence-and-supply agreement. CBC News says this agreement could be “a model for the future.”

But it’s clear this coalition has not been good for Canadians who don’t buy into a woke political agenda, including the “anti-woke left.”

Howard Levitt: On the China file, Johnston fails the test of Caesar’s wife — and he must know it

“With conflict of interest, the rule of Caesar’s wife applies. It must not only be pure but must be seen to be pure.” — Bursey vs. Acadia Motors, N.B. Court of Appeal

Does the conduct of our former governor general, David Johnston, in accepting the position of special rapporteur with respect to the Chinese government’s influence in two federal elections, a post that requires him to decide on the ethics of his friend and cottage neighbour Justin Trudeau, pass the purity test? Meaning, not only is he free of a conflict of interest, but is he “seen” to be “pure,” (i.e. unimpeachable) as well?

Johnston is a member of Canada’s China Class, like Justin Trudeau, Dominic Barton, John McCallum and many others in government, business and academia.

They have conspired to sell our country out to the ChiComs for personal gain.

They deserve nothing but our contempt.

Former CSIS officials say decades of China warnings went unheeded

Former CSIS officials say the intelligence agency has been warning successive governments about foreign election interference for decades but all failed to act — and measures outlined in this week’s budget are not enough to address the problem.

“Thirty-two years in national security work, every time we’ve had a crisis, every time we’ve had an incident, that’s what the government’s done. We’ll throw money at the RCMP, we’ll say you folks have got to sort that out. And I don’t think that’s really an appropriate response,” Dan Stanton, former executive manager at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told a committee of MPs on Friday.

More than half of Chinese Canadians say suggesting some Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist, only 1/3 believe ChiComs are election meddling

A third of Chinese Canadians believe Beijing meddling in elections, pressuring Canadians: poll

Just over a third of Chinese Canadians believe the government of China has tried to interfere in elections here and pressure Canadians in pursuit of its political aims, suggests a new Postmedia-Leger poll of an ethnic group at the centre of the foreign interference affair.

… At the same time, more than half thought suggesting certain Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist.

As discussion and debate rages over allegations of meddling by Beijing in Canadian affairs, much attention has turned to the country’s 1.7 million or so residents of Chinese descent.

No punches pulled those numbers indicate a clear danger to our society.

Our Politicians have remade Canada into a balkanized 5th Columnist state via mass immigration, multiculturalism and the denigration of our nations values and heritage.

Playing identity politics with Canada’s security is a vile and dangerous practice that all our political parties engage in.

Down with the Uniparty.

Adam Zivo: CBC keeps coming to Trudeau’s defence over interference scandal

The CBC’s coverage of the China interference scandal has often been questionable and partisan. Though its unsurprising that the organization has chosen to act, yet again, as the Liberals’ state-funded PR wing, its recent decision to platform an apologist for Beijing’s genocide against the Uyghurs is a new low.

Conservatives have softened China stance since riding losses in 2021 election, critics say

Pierre Poilievre’s venture into the Greater Toronto Area’s Chinese community in January was in some ways a standard bit of politicking.

He broke bread with community leaders, answered questions from Chinese-language news media and even said a few words in Chinese, an unremarkable outreach to an important block of ethnic voters.

More notable were some of the others at the meetings.

Don’t expect Poilievre to renounce these tainted relationships. We really are a Banana Republic.

Liberal Party will toss the leftovers their pets usually get to the poor in new budget

Tuesday’s budget to include grocery rebate for lower income Canadians: source

The federal budget, set for Tuesday, will include a grocery rebate measure aimed at lower income Canadians to help address the affordability crisis, particularly to mitigate the rising cost of food, CBC News has learned.

A senior government official familiar with the budget, but not authorized to speak publicly before the budget is rolled out, told CBC News that the overall cost of the measure is “north of $2 billion” and will benefit 11 million households. It will be facilitated through the GST credit, aimed at lower income families.

When your citizens can no longer afford basic groceries because they’ve been impoverished by your bad policies you’ve forfeited the right to govern.

Raymond J. de Souza: Trudeau will drag Johnston down, like he does everyone else

OTTAWA — I admire the Right Hon. David Johnston. Which is why I was disappointed that he accepted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invitation to serve as a “special rapporteur” regarding the Chinese regime’s interference in our elections. Trudeau has an uncanny ability to drag those around him down.

Johnston was brought down by his own doing. He is a CCP dupe like our idiot PM. They already inhabit the reputational slums of Canada’s despised “China Class.”

Governor General’s four-day visit to Germany with 32 guests cost taxpayers $700K

Governor General Mary Simon’s first overseas trip as vice-regal to attend the Frankfurt Book Fair and meet with German leaders cost taxpayers over $700,000 in travel expenses for the four-day visit — including over $100,000 in in-flight catering costs for the transatlantic flight, documents reveal.

Another winner appointment by Trudeau. Moneybags Mary seems to be imposing a residential graves revenge tax on us pale faces.

Chinese Diplomat Endorsed Montreal Councillor Who Heads Organizations Under RCMP Probe: Report

A senior diplomat from the Chinese consulate in Montreal reportedly urged attendees of an event in September 2017 to support a Brossard municipal candidate who is the director of two organizations now under RCMP investigation for being alleged Chinese police stations.

On Sept. 8, 2017, the Chinese consulate in Montreal held an event at the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM) to announce the release of a handbook meant to assist Chinese visitors to Canada. The event was moderated by Xixi Li, director of SFCGM and another Chinese community centre in Brossard, the South Shore Sino-Quebec Centre (CSQRS), according to an article first published by Sept Days, a Chinese-language weekly in Montreal.

In a normal country rather than Trudeau’s 3rd World shithole version of Canada there would have been expulsions by now.

Terry Glavin: David Johnston the right man to whitewash Chinese interference

He has spent a half century supporting Beijing’s strategy to draw Canada into its orbit of influence

There are so many crazy things the Trudeau government has been expecting Canadians to believe about the partisan advantage the Liberals have accrued to themselves owing to their cozy relationships with China’s agents of influence in this country that it’s really difficult to decide which is the most objectively unbelievable and easily disprovable.

Why you can’t afford to rent let alone buy a home: Canada’s population grew by record 1 million in 2022, spurred by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam

Canada’s population increased by more than a million people for the first time in history in 2022, almost entirely due to a surge in immigrants and temporary residents, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.

Total population grew by a record 1.05 million people to 39.57 million in the 12 months to Jan. 1, 2023, and about 96 per cent of the rise was due to international migration, the statistics agency said.

The increase, which helped Canada retain its position as the fastest-growing G7 country, translates to a population growth rate of 2.7 per cent and such a rate would lead to the population doubling in about 26 years, the agency said.

Plus … Trudeau, Poilievre Spar Over Canada’s Housing Affordability Crisis

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre sparred over the ongoing housing affordability crisis across Canada during question period on March 22, with the leader of the official opposition calling on Trudeau to find ways of bringing down rising mortgage costs.

Poilievre said Trudeau promised to bring down housing costs when he first took office eight years ago, but has so far failed to do so.

“It cost $1,400 to pay an average mortgage [in 2015],” said Poilievre. “How much does it cost today?”

Poilievre later pointed out that Canada’s average mortgage price has risen to over $3,100 since then.

Trudeau’s Liberal MP Han Dong secretly advised Communist Chinese Diplomat to keep the Two Michaels imprisoned in 2021: sources

Liberal MP Han Dong, who is at the centre of Chinese influence allegations, privately advised a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that Beijing should hold off freeing Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, according to two separate national security sources.

Both sources said Dong allegedly suggested to Han Tao, China’s consul general in Toronto, that if Beijing released the Two Michaels, whom China accused of espionage, the Opposition Conservatives would benefit.

The Liberal government must resign, they are evil.
