For decades, immigration in this country was tied to economic need, integration and national interest. Then Ottawa abandoned that model and opened the floodgates in the name of ideology, cheap labour and political advantage.
Now Canadians are living with the consequences.
Despite talk of lowering reliance on the TFW Program, there are currently 87 active LMIAs filed by Tim Hortons to fill jobs across Canada.

For years, Canada’s political elite insisted the housing crisis was caused by everything except immigration. It was a supply problem. A zoning problem. A financing problem. A speculation problem. A foreign-buyer problem. A NIMBY problem.
But never a population problem.
Hundreds of migrant workers have won a class action lawsuit against Mac’s Convenience Stores and three B.C. immigration consultant companies after a judge found they had unlawfully charged recruitment fees for jobs that rarely materialized.
In a Thursday, May 28 ruling, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sharon Matthews found Mac’s had entered into employment contracts with the three Surrey-based consultant companies to provide temporary foreign workers for stores across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
There are thousands of asylum seekers and illegal residents awaiting deportation who get more free health care than regular Canadian citizens. These all-inclusive care packages cost the public treasury $1 billion last year — and a recent attempt by the feds to bring it under control won’t help much, based on a Parliamentary Budget Officer report released Tuesday.
The India-based gang behind Canada’s extortion crisis sent a letter to a B.C. police station last year boasting that it had 1,000 foot soldiers willing to carry out shootings, a police officer revealed on Thursday.
Testifying at a deportation hearing, the extortion investigator described the letter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that was delivered to a police station in Abbotsford, B.C., on Aug. 13, 2025.

In March, the Carney government announced a relaxation of rules for the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program in rural Canada. At the request of any premier, the allowable share of low-wage TFWs in rural workforces can be increased from 10% to 15%. So far, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have opted in.
It is notable that most provinces have not chosen to avail themselves of the federal government’s offer to boost TFW numbers. The Canadian public’s support for immigration restriction shows few signs of cooling, and provincial governments are to some extent behaving accordingly.
A senior Bank of Canada official is warning that young Canadians are facing one of the toughest job markets in decades, with immigration levels contributing to growing competition for entry-level work.
Nicolas Vincent, the Bank of Canada’s external deputy governor, said youth unemployment has climbed sharply in recent years and warned the long-term consequences could leave a generation struggling to gain experience and financial stability.
Canadian American singer, songwriter and actor Paul Anka told comedian Bill Maher on Monday that crime has gone “through the roof” in formerly homogenous Canada amid mass immigration.
Anka appeared on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast and discussed an upcoming Broadway show he is working on about a young Canadian songwriter. Both then reminisced about Canada.
Canadian singer Paul Anka just blew the lid off Canada’s multicultural experiment NIGHTMARE on Bill Maher’s show.
He forced Maher to acknowledge the direct link between Canada’s unchecked immigration policy and EXPLODING crime within its cities.

There are tens of thousands of people in Canada who are getting taxpayer-funded health benefits from a program for refugees despite having their refugee claim denied. That’s one of the big headlines from a new report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Earlier this year, the PBO revealed that the cost of the Interim Federal Health Program, which covers refugee and asylum claimants, had risen from $60 million a year to close to $1 billion annually.
This is evil at work.
A woman who came to Canada from India on a student visa almost 10 years ago and who pleaded guilty to stealing more than $7,000 from her employer has been given a sentence of house arrest after the judge took into account the “collateral immigration consequences” if she were to be given prison time.
The case was decided this year by the Alberta Court of Justice under Justice James J. Ogle.
Amninder Singh has been driving an Uber in Victoria for two years and says it can be a stressful endeavour. He has faced racism from riders as well as false complaints.
“I didn’t have any kind of platform where I can take this problem,” Singh told CBC News.
But after unionizing last year, Singh and more than 1,000 drivers in the B.C. capital approved a collective contract on April 28 between the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518 and ride-hailing giant Uber.
It means I won’t ever use Uber.
For the safety of their family, Nini Johana Rodriguez Anzola and her husband said they had no choice but to ingest the cocaine-filled pouches, swallowing them along with some oat oil.
The Colombian couple were intercepted at the Bogota airport before they boarded the flight to Spain. They later pled guilty to drug-related charges because they said they felt pressured to remain silent in court about the involvement of the feared trafficking and guerrilla group known as the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC.
The tribunal says they don’t have to believe nothing they don’t wanna believe.
Foreign nationals convicted of serious criminality may be permitted to delay a formal hearing determining whether they must leave Canada if they have appealed their convictions, under fresh policy guidelines drawn up by the head of the immigration tribunal that makes such decisions.
Guidelines issued by Immigration and Refugee Board chairperson Manon Brassard, coming into force on June 1, broaden the criteria for considering whether convicted foreign criminals can delay formal proceedings on “admissibility” to Canada, which would precede deportation.
The Conservatives have seized on the revised policy guidelines, arguing they would make it easier for foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes to remain in Canada and delay their removal.

OTTAWA — Ottawa is looking at overhauling the express entry system to make it easier for people with high-paying job offers to apply for permanent residency.
A public consultation survey and discussion paper outline the proposed changes to the express entry system.
This is meant to complement the International Talent Attraction Strategy first announced in the November budget, the discussion paper says. The government is focusing on bringing in doctors, researchers, senior managers, transportation professionals and skilled military recruits through this strategy.
New federal figures show Canada required tens of thousands of housing units last year to accommodate newly arrived permanent residents, adding further pressure to an already strained housing market.
Blacklock’s Reporter says a report from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada estimates that the 395,000 people granted permanent residency in 2025 required roughly 81,560 housing units — equivalent to just over one-third of all urban housing starts recorded that year.
