Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s promise to hold a referendum that will give her province a chance to demand greater control over immigration is the latest episode in the long-standing, ever-evolving drama between the provinces and Ottawa over immigration jurisdiction.
The October referendum will ask nine questions, including four on constitutional issues. But the major spark igniting a firestorm of debate across Canada is the five immigration questions.

When Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government dismisses legitimate criticism of Canada’s immigration and refugee policies as racism, it is essentially calling most Canadians racist.
This is nothing new for the Liberals.
It was the same tactic the Justin Trudeau government employed.
Canadian taxpayer money intended for humanitarian aid in Gaza was allegedly diverted and exploited by the terrorist group Hamas, according to a shocking new report. The allegations are based on secret Hamas documents recovered by the Israeli military.
Parkland RCMP have charged three men and issued a Canada‑wide arrest warrant in connection with an ongoing extortion and firearms investigation targeting the South Asian community.
The probe stems from two shootings at a Spring Meadow Estate home in Parkland County in late 2025. No one was injured in either incident.

A Better Life dramatizes the consequences of “suicidal empathy.”
No one reads a Lionel Shriver novel expecting a cheerful ending, and her latest, A Better Life, will not disillusion readers in this respect. An expert in the depiction and skewering of middle-class vanity, Shriver is merciless in examining dainty liberal principles, then shredding them and the people who hold them.
An insider report authored by a former director of policy at Immigration with the Canadian government has shown that, for nearly a decade, Canada let in 25,000 asylum seekers without any of them ever being properly vetted.
The report, by the Toronto-based C.D. Howe Institute, and authored by James Yousif, who is the former director of policy at Immigration, noted how the federal government “slashed all its usual controls to weed out fraudsters, human traffickers and terrorists” in letting these people into the nation.
When Edmonton police arrested Arshdeep Singh for shoplifting at West Edmonton Mall last November, they launched an investigation that ultimately put the young Indian national at the heart of a network believed responsible for the extortion crisis plaguing Canadian communities.
Singh’s phone held a cache of images and messages linking him to an arson in Ontario, a shooting in Edmonton, extortion cases in Surrey and auto theft and insurance fraud in the Lower Mainland, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
There was even a photograph of Singh alongside the alleged “prime conspirator” behind a series of extortion-linked shootings at a Surrey café.
From crumbling healthcare to the housing crisis, Canada’s refusal to control its borders is a recipe for social collapse and the bureaucracy is to blame.
Mass immigration is threatening the social and economic well-being of the entire Western world. One needs only to look at the catastrophes in Europe, as decades of unchecked immigration have led to entire sections of cities becoming unhabitable to locally born citizens, while race riots and demonstrations choke cities regularly. Integration has become nearly impossible as migrants cluster into introverted communities of their own and refuse to adapt to cultural norms within the democracies they entered.

In the quiet rural enclave of Arcadian Way, a Mother’s Day celebration turned into a nightmare of unimaginable violence. Arnold De Jong, 77, and his wife Joanne De Jong, 76, were found bound and lifeless in their longtime home on May 9, 2022, victims of a calculated home invasion that shocked the Fraser Valley community. What began as a welfare check by concerned family members unravelled into a chilling tale of greed, exploitation, and cross-border opportunism. Three young men from India, barely out of their teens, stand accused of orchestrating the robbery and murders – a case that highlights vulnerabilities in elderly isolation and the dark undercurrents of financial desperation among newcomers.
They all have to go along with the bastards who let them in.
The sheer amount of extortion attempts and extortion-related shootings in British Columbia has commanded national and international attention. It is not surprising to see more than half of British Columbians (56 per cent) saying they have followed news related to this situation “very closely” or “moderately closely” over the past month.
At this moment, respondents of South Asian descent are more likely to be captivated by this story (67 per cent) than their counterparts whose heritage is Indigenous (59 per cent), European (56 per cent) or East Asian (55 per cent).
The federal government is shaking up its main economic immigration program to facilitate the entry of high-skilled military recruits for the Canadian Armed Forces, part of Ottawa’s renewed focus and spending push on the defence sector.
On Wednesday, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced new categories for selecting immigrants via Express Entry, a points-based system that is the main entryway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency.
A 29-year-old man from Woodstock has been charged with drug offences after more than a quarter-tonne of methamphetamine was seized earlier this month at the Blue Water Bridge near Sarnia.
… The CBSA said Kulbir Singh was arrested and was handed over to the RCMP, along with the narcotics. He has been charged with importation of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.

New report warns Canada’s paper-based refugee fast track may be prone to abuse by terror-linked and transnational fraud networks.
OTTAWA — A sweeping new border control investigation has revealed that since 2019, Canada’s refugee hearing board has been quietly accepting tens of thousands of asylum claims without ever questioning the migrants, effectively rubber-stamping applications from some of the most dangerous countries on earth — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran — through a paper-based process that is wide open to fraud and bypasses the security screening architecture designed to protect the nation.
