What’s driving Britain’s anti-migrant protests? – Anxiety over immigration isn’t fuelled by racism

Last week, after a demonstration against the housing of refugees in a Knowsley hotel turned violent, many on the Left were quick to denounce the protestors as fascists or racists, and to lay the blame on Suella Braverman for warning of a migrant “invasion”. There were more protests across the UK at the weekend; no doubt a similar response will follow.


New data reveals nationwide desire for lower immigration

New UnHerd Britain polling today reveals the strength of opposition across Britain to current levels of immigration: 57% of Britons agree with the statement “Immigration levels are too high”, compared to just 20% who disagree.

Near Roxham Road, RCMP border patrol relies on locals’ help – and tests their patience

While politicians in Ottawa and Quebec City bicker and negotiate over what to do about Roxham Road, locals must put up with frequent RCMP stops while at the same time trying to keep an eye open to help Mounties enforce border rules.

Matthias Kaiser, a farmer who owns land in the area near what is now internationally known as the official unofficial point of entry for asylum seekers in Canada, is used to interacting with law-enforcement agents from both sides of the border.

Hey you racists let’s talk Mass Immigration, Housing, & Healthcare

A discussion on limiting mass immigration will still get you called a racist.

None of the mainstream political parties will speak out against it because they all dance to the same master’s tune.

Canada’s immigration policy is driven by the greed of the corporate class to your detriment.

McKinsey is stealing your country.

The LPC-NDP-CPC Uniparty will not be getting my vote.

Now the NORTHERN border is a mess, too

Last week, President Joe Biden took a victory lap following news that our southern border had “only” 156,274 illegal encounters in January. Not only does his spin ignore the fact that last month was the worst January on record in over 20 years for illegal encounters at our southern border; it ignores the worsening cost at our northern border.

My district in upstate New York includes six counties in the Swanton Sector, the most active sector of our northern border. In just the first three months of this fiscal year, Biden’s failure to secure the southern border has increased illegal encounters in the Swanton Sector by over 700%.

Niagara sees ‘surge’ in demand for services as Trudeau’s illegal alien invaders are dumped in Ontario to appease Quebec

Deanna D’Elia, the general manager of employment and immigrant services at the YMCA of Niagara, said her organization provides language assessments and helps new arrivals register their children in school and access other community resources. It began seeing a rise in demand around seven months ago.

Apprehensions and encounters by the U.S. Border Patrol in the northern Swanton Sector—ports of entry in Vermont, New Hampshire, and northeastern New York—have ballooned by over 800 percent this fiscal year, with Mexicans accounting for the majority of illegal individuals trying to cross into the United States from Canada.

Quebec premier wants Trudeau to discourage asylum seekers from coming to Canada

Quebec Premier François Legault called on Trudeau on Wednesday to discourage the migrants who have been using Roxham Road from coming to Canada. He told reporters in Quebec City he thinks many people are claiming asylum in Canada because of a 2017 Trudeau tweet saying the country would welcome people fleeing persecution.

“It’s about time that Justin Trudeau makes a new tweet to say, ‘Don’t come anymore,’ because we’ve exceeded our welcoming capacity,” he said. He added that Quebec faces a shortage of housing and its schools and hospitals cannot handle the newcomers.

Minister Denies Being Influenced by McKinsey On Immigration Targets

Sean Fraser – almost certainly lying.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser told the House of Commons government operations committee on Feb. 15 that the involvement of consulting firm McKinsey & Company in his department had no influence on how he determined immigration targets for the country.

“I don’t have a relationship with representatives of McKinsey or Dominic Barton, if anybody had been curious,” Fraser said.

“The company had not advised me directly or influenced the decision-making about our immigration levels plan.”

He’s a Liberal which is the same as saying he’s a compulsive liar.

Roxham Rd. asylum seekers are being transferred to Ontario because Quebec is full up!

QUEBEC — The vast majority of asylum seekers arriving at the Roxham Rd. crossing last weekend were transferred directly to Ontario, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette revealed Tuesday.

On the same day the Quebec government upped the pressure on Washington to amend the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States to cover irregular crossing points, Fréchette said Ottawa has taken heed of Quebec’s position that it has reached its maximum capacity when it comes to asylum seekers.

Trudeau’s Mass Immigration Scam: Canada needs to build 50% more homes to accommodate immigrants even though over 50% of “permanent residents” can’t be bothered to become citizens

40% decline in permanent residents becoming Canadian citizens since 2001, data shows

StatCan numbers reveal the percentage of permanent residents who become Canadians has plummeted over the past 20 years.

The Institute for Canadian Citizenship says Statistics Canada data points to a 40 per cent decline in citizenship uptake since 2001.

In 2021, nearly 45.7 per cent of permanent residents who’d been in Canada for less than 10 years became citizens.

That’s down from 60 per cent in 2016, and 75.1 per cent in 2001.

“But ultimately, what’s changing is that people have decided that they’re less interested in being `Team Canada.”’


So we have to build 50% more housing for people who don’t want to stay here. 

Canada needs to build 50 per cent more homes as Ottawa plans for higher immigration levels: report

As Canada prepares to ramp up immigration levels, a new report says the country will need to build 50 per cent more housing than what’s already being planned.

The report, published by economists from Desjardins on Monday, says in order to keep up with the federal government’s immigration targets without causing substantial increases to home prices, 100,000 more homes need to be constructed annually in 2023 and 2024.

“Increasing the housing supply beyond the typical demand response would also take pressure off prices but requires extraordinary policy intervention and resolve,” the authors wrote. “Indeed, we estimate that housing starts would have to increase immediately by almost 50 per cent nationally relative to our baseline scenario and stay there through 2024 to offset the price gains from the increase in federal immigration.”

Masses are let in who regard Canada as nothing more than a stepping stone to elsewhere.

Canada’s immigration policy is a scam that does not benefit citizens.

Quebec tells Eric Adams to stop buying NY migrants bus tickets

The government of Canada’s second-most populated province is demanding that Mayor Eric Adams “immediately” stop helping migrants illegally enter the Great White North, as recently revealed by The Post.

“Any form of assistance to migrants crossing the border where it is strictly forbidden to do so should stop immediately,” a spokesperson for Quebec Premier Francois Legault said.

“We understand that the situation of migrants in New York poses major challenges, but the situation in Quebec and particularly in Montreal is even worse and constitutes an important humanitarian issue.”
