Only four countries have seen a worse decline — Jordan, Venezuela, Lebanon and Afghanistan.
VANCOUVER — As a teen growing up in Toronto, Bhavik Sharma imagined what life would look like at 25.
He and his high school friends would be starting families. They’d be on six-figure salaries and living comfortably.
Now 27, he’s back living with his parents in Kitchener, Ont., driven out of Toronto by high rent and other costs.
“I think back then, in that generation, it was definitely a lot easier,” Sharma said of the path to adulthood for his parents, who moved to Canada from India about 30 years ago.
They’d probably be happier if you interviewed Canadians and not foreigners for this article.
Funny how mass immigration isn’t mentioned as if a generation’s problems appeared from nowhere.
I have faith young people are smart enough to recognize gaslighting. AKA Liberal Party Media/Academic propaganda.
Provincial police say they are investigating more than 45 cases of extortion targeting victims in Caledon and Dufferin County over the last two years.
Investigators say since 2023, members of the South-Asian community have been targeted using phone calls or text messages in which the callers use high-pressure intimidation tactics to solicit money while threatening violence.
One of those victims recently spoke to OMNI News after receiving death threats against his family and having their business and home targeted by gunfire.
They seem to operate without fear perhaps because they can claim asylum if caught!
She says — as Canadians face rising living costs, ongoing challenges in finding affordable housing, and increasing pressure on public services — refugees and newcomers have too often been unfairly cast as scapegoats for deeper systemic issues.
“We often focus on the demand side … and we don’t look enough at the supply side,” said Clark-Kazak. “People who are coming to this country are also trained as doctors, engineers and construction workers who could build housing.”
As a student of history, I am struck by the rise and fall of civilizations on this small celestial body we call Earth. Empires have come and gone. Kingdoms have risen in confidence and collapsed in corruption. And today, whether we care to admit it or not, we stand at the edge of the possible unravelling of what may well be the greatest civilization humanity has ever produced: the modern West.
Food banks are struggling, but it’s hard to feel charitable when some people treat them like an immigration perk
The struggling food bank has been a recurring motif in the news in recent weeks. Food aid agencies across the country are presenting various regional hunger reports to the public, and the results are consistently depressing: usage is higher than ever, donations are down and “we don’t know how we’re going to keep up.”
On the other hand, food bank abuse seems to be a recurring problem. What’s being done to prevent it from happening? It’s not all that clear.
From Grok – What percentage of foodbank users in the GTA are not Canadian citizens?
43% of food bank users in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are not Canadian citizens, according to the most recent data from the Daily Bread Food Bank’s Who’s Hungry Report 2024. This report, based on surveys of over 1,300 clients across 79 food banks in Toronto (a core part of the GTA) and intake data from the city’s Link2Feed system, covers the period from April 2023 to March 2024. It shows that among all surveyed clients, 57% are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, while the remaining 43% include temporary residents (22%, such as international students and work visa holders), refugee claimants (12%), those under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program (6%), and undocumented individuals (1%).
This figure reflects a slight increase in non-citizens compared to 2023 (when 49% were non-citizens). Among new clients—those visiting for the first time, who make up 57% of total visits—the share is higher at 73%, with 80% of them being newcomers to Canada (less than 5 years in the country). Overall visits reached a record 3.49 million, up 38% from the previous year, highlighting rising food insecurity amid economic pressures like housing costs and inflation.
For context, this aligns with national trends from Food Banks Canada’s HungerCount 2024, where 34% of clients nationwide are recent newcomers (in Canada 10 years or less), but GTA data shows a higher concentration of non-citizens due to the region’s diverse immigrant population.
Like locusts.

Donations subsidize the ruin of our society.
A man charged in two high-profile B.C. extortion incidents was living in Canada on an expired student visa at the time of his alleged crimes, according to court records.
CBC News has learned that Vikram Sharma was flagged by authorities weeks before attacks in Surrey and on Vancouver Island in 2024 because he allegedly relied on fraudulent documents in his bid to extend the visa that first allowed him into Canada in June 2022.
The 24-year-old — whose student visa expired in April 2024 — is currently believed to be in India.
Ottawa says it opened the door to more than a million foreign students working in Canada without ever examining how the move would affect young Canadians trying to find jobs.
Blacklocks’ Reporter says the immigration department now acknowledges it relied on a single survey sent only to foreign students, even as unemployment for Canadian students climbed above 16% in several provinces.

The Democratic president and his top advisers rejected recommendations that could have eased the border crisis that helped return Donald Trump to the White House.
In the weeks after Joseph R. Biden Jr. was elected president, advisers delivered a warning: His approach to immigration could prove disastrous.
Mr. Biden had pledged to treat unauthorized immigrants more humanely than President Donald J. Trump, who generated widespread backlash by separating migrant children from their parents.
But Mr. Biden was now president-elect, and his positions threatened to drastically increase border crossings, experts advising his transition team warned in a Zoom briefing in the final weeks of 2020, according to people with direct knowledge of that briefing. That jump, they said, could provoke a political crisis.
“Chaos” was the word the advisers had used in a memo during the campaign.
“Chaos” was the plan as it is in Canada.
Since late last month, Toronto resident Hazat Wahriz has been approached by Afghan friends and acquaintances in the U.S. desperately asking about refuge in Canada.
With Washington pausing and reviewing the entire asylum system and immigration processing of applicants from certain countries including Afghanistan, he said his compatriots south of the border are fearful of losing their already precarious status and being deported to the embrace of the Taliban.
No nation needs “more Islam”.
Immigration. That very word can spark a heated debate in Canada, and it frequently does. While it’s clear that Canada as a nation was built on immigration following early colonization, it has always remained a point of controversy. How many people should we allow in? Where should they come from? What is the criteria for allowing an immigrant to Canada and where will they live?

President Trump has had enough. A majority of Americans have had enough of Ilhan Omar’s ingratitude.
So last week, Trump minced no words. He came straight out and called her “garbage,” and then called “her friends” also garbage.
No doubt he was referring to her fellow Somalis out there in Minneapolis who number at around 100,000, and do nothing “but complain,” according to Trump.

Senators say immigration bill meant to push back against rising ‘xenophobic rhetoric’
A Liberal-appointed group of senators says a seemingly harmless bill to mark Canada’s history of immigration is actually aimed at countering what they describe as growing “xenophobic rhetoric” in the national debate.
Blacklock’s Reporter says senators told the social affairs committee the proposal was timed to influence public discussion around annual immigration targets.
Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the ‘biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history’ and local Democratic officials were ‘fully complicit’ in the scheme, White House officials declared Friday night.
Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people – mostly within small Somali communities in the state – have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.
The suspects allegedly ran companies that billed Minnesota state officials for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered in three separate fraud schemes.

This is quite a read …
You’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation.
Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because… pic.twitter.com/MFUoYYJoEa
