Canada to have 50 million people, half of them immigrant families, by 2041

Canadian immigration levels are currently at their highest since the era just before the First World War, when mass immigration was used to homestead the prairies. Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents.

One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada (the combined population of Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 11 million in the last census).

Canada – A Great Big Leicester.

Howard Levitt: Public sector jobs boom is a shell game that plays havoc with our economic future

One day late last year, Justin Trudeau took to twitter to tout his government’s job creation record.

“Thanks to your hard work and the hard work of Canadians across the country, Canada’s unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been since the start of the pandemic. In fact, more than 154,000 jobs were created last month — and … in the COVID-19 Era, more than 1 million jobs have been recovered,” he wrote in a tweet.

Justin has just added to his reliably Liberal vote bloc at our expense.

Canadian MPs across the spectrum see threats to democracy: ‘There’s no common middle ground’

 

OTTAWA — In a troubled world, Canadian democracy endures. But some sitting members of Parliament are worried — for various reasons — that it is getting weaker.

Ryan Turnbull is one of them. The Liberal MP for Whitby was first elected in 2019, and sees the problem through the lens of his education in philosophy: the ideal of democracy allows for public debate on a common ground of fact and reality, but Turnbull believes persistent misinformation and its self-serving weaponization by some politicians is threatening this shared basis for a functioning public discourse.

Mostly this is LPC, NDP and Elizabeth May griping about the scary convoy and such. The Star’s is gonna need a bigger fainting couch.

CBC Has Nervous Breakdown! Convoy donors gave more than $460K to CPC leadership race — and many were first-time federal donors

Canadians who donated to the Ottawa convoy protest contributed more than $460,000 to Conservative leadership candidates — and many of them were donating to a federal political party for the first time — an analysis by CBC News shows.

A comparison of donations to Conservative leadership contenders up to Aug. 1 with the GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign for the convoy protest found over 3,100 people who contributed to both campaigns, based on identical combinations of names and postal codes.

The lion’s share of convoy donors’ leadership campaign donations went to Pierre Poilievre’s campaign.

OMG! Convoy supporters donated! And many were 1st time donors! That must be against the law!

GOLDSTEIN: Deleted recording increases public mistrust of RCMP’s leaders

Eroding public trust in the RCMP certainly isn’t going to be helped by a recent revelation at Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Commission.

That is that there was a now-deleted recording of a controversial phone call between RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and senior RCMP officers in the province that raised questions about political interference by the Trudeau government into the investigation of the mass killing in which 22 people were murdered in April 2020.

Adam Zivo: How China’s propagandists bamboozled Canada’s media

Last week, it was widely reported in the Canadian media that dozens of Chinese-Canadian organizations had come together to condemn an upcoming parliamentary trade mission to Taiwan. However, what was missed at the time was that the organizations in question were actually members of China’s “United Front” network, which is tasked with influencing foreign societies to Beijing’s benefit.

Careful, you’ll anger Canada’s 5th Columnist China class. Right Justin?

Gwyn Morgan: Canada’s unfair public-private compensation gap

It seems the enormous compensation and job security advantages enjoyed by public sector employees aren’t enough

… Meanwhile, during COVID public-sector workers kept their jobs, added two years’ credit to their gilded pension benefits and even, many of them, received wage increases. Statistics Canada’s January 2022 Labour Force Survey found that all of the country’s 206,000 job losers were private-sector employees. Public-sector employment, on the other hand, was 305,000 higher than at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

Add in the Corporate Welfare Class, the State Media and the NGO’s and Not for Profits that rely on tax payer largesse and you have the landscape of the political class that keeps a dolt like Justin Trudeau in power.

The risk of political violence in Canada has never been higher

Some time in the not too distant future, when the first Canadian politician has been assassinated since Pierre Laporte, we will all look back and wonder what we could have done to prevent it.

The probable answer is: Not much, in the sense of that particular attack. It is always easy to discover, after the fact, warning signs that were missed, gaps in security that should have been plugged. It is a much harder thing to identify these in advance.

This is really just an anti-Poilievre piece.

Canada’s government-driven labour market recovery is unsustainable

At first glance, according to several commonly used indicators, Canada’s labour market has recovered from the initial COVID recession that began in 2020. Canada’s unemployment rate is now lower than when the pandemic hit, and the employment rate (the share of the adult population that’s working) has almost recovered to pre-COVID levels.

However, the story is more complicated than the headline numbers suggest. The latest monthly labour force statistics confirm that the government sector – not the private sector – has driven job growth since 2020.

Policing won’t get better until politicians get their hands dirty

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in last week on a vile campaign of racist and misogynist harassment currently being endured by several Canadian women in the public eye, including journalists — a campaign that police have not been terribly interested in addressing, according to the women’s reports. (One reported being advised to “lower your expectations,” which some Canadian police forces nowadays may as well adopt as their motto.)

Rex Murphy: The Liberals and an incomparable travesty of hate

The Laith Marouf scandal, for that is emphatically what it is, of a fully public (it was all on Twitter, some on tape and film) antisemite receiving more than half a million taxpayers’ dollars from the government of Canada, caught even the laziest eye. I have observed it was a singular instance of “paying” the fox to raid the chicken house.

Denouncing The Diagolonoids

A Canadian right-wing nut is peddling a satirical meme about a diagonally-shaped North American superstate. Needless to say, much of the country’s intellectual class is terrified.

Last month, Pierre Poilievre, the populist front-runner in the race to become leader of Canada’s federal Conservative party, was photographed shaking hands with Jeremy MacKenzie, a former soldier facing weapons and harassment charges. MacKenzie is an odd duck who combines a penchant for extremist right-wing rhetoric with a predilection for ironic Internet memes. But almost no one in Canada knew his name until that now infamous handshake. As for Poilievre, he says he didn’t recognize MacKenzie, or form any particular memory of having met him—a claim that even progressive journalists have admitted is entirely credible.

Trudeau government developing path to permanent residency for an estimated 500,000 illegal alien invaders

Canada developing path to permanent residency for undocumented workers

Canada’s undocumented workers could gain a new avenue to permanent residency through a program under development by the federal government to tackle the underground economy.

It is a pivotal turning point for some of the 500,000 undocumented residents estimated to be in Canada. Many work precarious and often exploitative jobs in construction, cleaning, caregiving, food processing and agriculture.

Undocumented residents face a range of vulnerabilities, including poor mental and physical health caused by social isolation and abusive working conditions.

The Trudeau government is fighting inflation on the backs of the poor. Mass immigration ensures depressed wages. The Bank of Canada has recently instructed the corporate class not to increase wages, how convenient.

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic employment recovery almost all gov’t jobs, report says

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals boast about Canada’s historically low unemployment rate of 4.9% as a sign of economic recovery from the pandemic, a new study by the Fraser Institute reports almost all of the gains have been in the public sector.

What happens when civil servants get partisan?

Non-partisanship is a principle of Canada’s public service. So when Ottawa civil servants cheered Trudeau’s arrival, they violated a basic principle of government

Trudeau is shoring up the base at our expense.
