International student sentenced to 11 years for trafficking fentanyl in Saskatoon

An international student from India has been sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty in Saskatoon provincial court to charges of drug trafficking and possessing the proceeds of crime.

Jatinderpal Singh, who came to Canada to study at a university in Ontario, said he turned to selling drugs in Saskatchewan in order to pay off his debts, according to the written decision by Saskatoon provincial court Judge Lisa Watson, who presided over Singh’s sentencing.

Singh, 27, passed his first year of studies but couldn’t complete his second year because he couldn’t afford the school fees, according to information that was presented in court. His student visa then expired.

Exclusive Tory club delights in the nostalgia of its imported Wog servants

I am told on good authority that this is a typical day at the Albany Club

Exclusive Tory club hires foreign workers under program Pierre Poilievre vows to kill

OTTAWA — Toronto’s Albany Club bills itself as the “premier private club for leaders in Canada’s business and Conservative political spheres,” and offers luxurious suites, brings in Australian Wagyu beef for the dining room and allows members to buy imported wines not available at the LCBO.

But one thing it couldn’t procure last year was Canadian staff.

‘So consequential’: Ottawa faces lawsuit over benefit shoppers rights to access immigration lawyers

‘So consequential’: Ottawa faces lawsuit over newcomers’ rights to access immigration lawyers

A lawyers’ group says it is suing the federal government in a bid to boost legal protections for newcomers in “high-stakes” immigration and refugee cases.

The Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association (CILA) wants to force three federal departments to recognize the right for newcomers to have access to their lawyers in all stages of the visa application process. The non-profit organization named Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, and Employment and Social Development Canada as defendants in Federal Court documents.

As unemployment climbs, the promise of a grocery store job lures hundreds … from the 3rd World

The ethnic composition of this job lineup indicates Canada desperately needs more unskilled 3rd World labour.

Not long ago, Casey McLaughlin was executive director of the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, but earlier this month she found herself lining up with hundreds of others at a job fair in Ottawa, vying for a coveted position at a new Food Basics grocery store.

“I’m willing to go from being a boss to shelving vegetables because you have to pay the bills,” she said. “It’s really hard to find a job in Ottawa right now.”

Nafisa Ijie also attended the job fair at a hotel in Barrhaven, despite having a master’s degree and experience working as a business analyst in Nigeria and England.

Can the left learn anything from Denmark’s Social Democrats’ migration policy?

Douglas Todd: Those who pay the highest price for high migration levels, says Denmark’s Social Democratic PM Mette Frederiksen, are the working class. “It’s not the elite people.”

Unlike most social-democratic parties, Denmark’s has been winning elections since 2019.

That’s because the Nordic country’s centre-left party has stayed true to its working-class roots. Rather than allowing itself to be run by what French economist Thomas Piketty calls “the Brahmin left” — by which he means educated city elites — Denmark’s Social Democrats have been taking blue-collar workers seriously.

Alberta MP calls out Immigration Scammer president of Diploma Mill Conestoga College

Alberta MP calls out president of Conestoga College on Parliament Hill

An Alberta Member of Parliament called out Conestoga College president John Tibbits during a committee meeting on Parliament Hill this week.

It happened Tuesday at a Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration meeting, where Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner serves as vice-chair. The committee examines laws, programs and policies related to citizenship and immigration.

Earlier this month, the committee agreed to study Canada’s immigration system, with a specific focus on the international student program and study permits. The goal is to identify systemic issues and explore long-term solutions.

New Cultures Bring New Customs!

Ontario orchard bans strollers, wagons and backpacks after some 500 pounds of apples stolen

The owners of an apple orchard in West Montrose, Ont., are fed up with people stealing the literal fruits of their labour.

Tim Shuh, operator of the pick-it-yourself Shuh Orchards near Kitchener, has introduced new rules for visitors this apple-picking season: banning them from bringing strollers, backpacks and wagons into the U-pick portion of the farm.

After two highly busy weekends in a row, Shuh said he reluctantly implemented the rules as a response to the noticeable and growing issue of theft.


I doubt it’s hordes of protestants swarming the orchard.

Canada is failing to count how many overstay their visas

Douglas Todd: How can decision-makers plan for housing, jobs, schools, water supply, physicians, rental units and social services when a significant number of people who were supposed to leave the country aren’t being tracked?

It’s hard to run a city, or country, when you don’t know how many people actually live in them.

How can public officials and businesses plan for housing, workers, schools, water supply, physicians, rental units or social services when they don’t know how many individuals need them?

Yet, according to experts, that is the problem in Canada, especially in the Toronto and Vancouver regions. The federal government isn’t being transparent about how many people in Canada remain in the country after their visas expire.


My God but we need a Trump. (Incognito)

Only one province in Canada showed decline in population: new StatCan data

Data shows that apart from the surge in 2022, 2023 and 2024, this spring saw more immigrants arrive in Canada than any second quarter since 1957

B.C. was the only province in Canada where the population declined between April and June, while the province’s birthrate remains the lowest in the country, according to new Statistics Canada data that shows the impact of changing federal immigration policy on B.C.’s population.

The drop is “the other side” of the surge in the number of temporary residents who came to B.C. over the last three years, said Werner Antweiler, a business professor at the University of B.C. Many of those people are now leaving as their work and study permits expire.

Canadian society has high social trust—but can that survive our unprecedented immigration increases?

Toronto subway

Canada is a high-trust country. Surveys consistently show that Canadians are more likely than most people in the world to say “others can be trusted,” to respect the rules, and to view government and civic institutions as broadly legitimate. In Q4 2024, for instance, 43.5 percent of Canadians reported that “most people can be trusted”, which is significantly higher than global averages and among the highest in the OECD.

It won’t survive.

New permits for foreign students plunge 97 per cent as Conestoga College braces for impact

Conestoga’s pipeline of fee-paying foreign students has collapsed with a 97 per cent reduction in students from abroad receiving new approvals to attend.

That’s down from 17,600 new study permits approved in the same months in 2023.

Sticky floors, damp seats, blaring TikToks first thing in the morning: Is this Toronto’s worst commute?

3rd World Toronto, seriously this is not a North American city.

So. Many. TikTok videos.

The unending barrage of grating, trendy music blares beside me. Surely this isn’t how I — or anyone — would choose to start their day.

It’s just after 7 a.m., and my bus seatmate is scrolling through TikTok on his phone. He’s swiping so quickly the music blurs into an incoherent spew. The sound fills the bus — no headphones, just raw speakers echoing through the entire ride.

Welcome to my first trip.


The 3rd World is complaining about Toronto’s 3rd world transit system.
