Workers of the World Drop Dead! The robotic revolution is coming to a workplace near you

For decades, Canada has lagged many of its global peers in the types of business investment that would improve productivity. But the green shoots of an automation transformation appear to be sprouting

Amid the hums and clangs of Savaria Corp.’s factory in Brampton, Ont., two wildly distinct eras of corporate Canada can be found just a few steps apart.

In one cramped corner of the 33-year-old company’s plant, which manufactures accessibility equipment such as wheelchair lifts, custom stairlifts and home elevators, a team of 10 workers weld and grind curved steel tubes by hand. A short walk away, a single orange robotic arm Savaria installed earlier this year swings purposefully through the air doing the same task.

The math, as vice-president of operations Sebastien Bourassa sees it, couldn’t be simpler. In a day, those 10 workers typically produce two custom stairlifts. The robot, with two operators, currently churns out five – and that output is set to more than double over time.

See? This is why Trudeau is on a mass immigration tear. He needs to depress the wages of working class Canadians so his corporate cronies can more easily afford the robots that will be used to replace them. Go incognito.

Calling Poilievre a white supremacist over use of ‘Anglo Saxon’ disgusting and laughable

Have you heard the latest from the chattering classes about Pierre Poilievre?

They have proof that he’s a racist and a white supremacist because he used the term Anglo Saxon.

I wish I was making this up but there are actual stories out there making this claim by supposedly serious journalists.


We’ve all seen this movie. The political class  & their left media minions are attempting to paint all criticism of immigration policy as white supremacist and the result of The Great Replacement bugaboo. God forbid you attempt to defend your culture, only Quebec and other government approved victims are allowed to do that. And heaven help us if you defend the rule of law against the left’s open borders madness. Didn’t you absorb the learnings of your CRT indoctrination class you evil white skinned oppressor?

In Canada our mainstream political parties and their corporate cronies favour a mass immigration policy that furthers their interests not yours. They care only about meeting their magic numbers and not the consequences of their choices. The following statement will have me labeled a proponent of The Great Replacement Theory: Sound immigration policy should benefit citizens not corporate earnings or the vote whoring lust of venal politicians. Call me what you want, I won’t stop discussing our destructive immigration policy.

Unfortunately for Canada dissent is being criminalized. Time to ditch your oppressor’s political parties.

Whiteshift & The Demons The Left Summons

Is there anybody who doesn’t recognize the Buffalo massacre as a racist abomination, and the (alleged) murderer as the scum of the earth? Of course not! Is there any decent person who doesn’t deplore the racist propaganda on the Internet? No!

This is (mostly) not a blog post about that demonic act and actor, or the hateful philosophy that drove him. You can find those kinds of stories and commentaries everywhere. Insofar as they condemn him, his deed, and the ideology that motivated him, I endorse them, or at least that part of those commentaries. But this blog post is a story about how the media are exploiting this horror to forward a narrative that demonizes political actors they hate.

Closing Roxham Road Border Crossing Will Not Stop Arrival of Asylum Seekers: Trudeau

Closing an unofficial border crossing in southern Quebec will not slow the arrival of asylum seekers, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.

“If we close Roxham Road, people will cross elsewhere,” he told reporters in Ottawa. “We have an enormous border, and we’re not going to start arming or putting fences on it.”

On Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault called for Trudeau to close the makeshift crossing south of Montreal, saying that the province doesn’t have the capacity to care for migrants as they wait for their refugee claims to be processed.

Quebec asks Trudeau to close Roxham Road, says province can’t handle influx of benefit shoppers

Quebec is asking the federal government to close a wooded border crossing south of Montreal because the province can’t handle the number of asylum seekers entering the country.

Premier Francois Legault says more than 100 refugee claimants are entering Quebec every day from the United States through a rural path called Roxham Road.

The popular unofficial border crossing was closed when the pandemic hit in March 2020 and reopened last November.

Immigration Cannot Significantly Reduce Inflation

Many immigration advocates have recently called for increasing the number of immigrants allowed into the country to fill lower-wage jobs in order to decrease wages by increasing the supply of workers, thereby lessening inflation. In this post, we attempt to roughly estimate the possible impact of immigration-induced reductions in wages on consumer prices. We focus our analysis on the lower-wage sectors of the economy that primarily employ workers without a bachelor’s degree (the less-educated) because many of those advocating for more immigration have specifically called for more workers in these sectors. Our analysis shows that reducing wages for the less-educated is not an effective means of controlling inflation because such workers earn relatively little and as a result account for only a modest share of economic output. There is also the equally important question of whether reducing the wages of workers who are the lowest-paid is sound public policy.

Munro: NY Times Smears Tucker Carlson to Gag Americans‘ Immigration Debate

The New York Times is trying to deport Tucker Carlson from his cable-TV job for the political crime of noticing mass migration hurts average Americans.

But the newspaper’s campaign to shut down Carlson’s televised debate on migration will fail because the reporters and editors cannot — or dare not — talk about Americans’ worry about migration economics. The editors’ refusal to engage with the voters about immigration’s economic reality still persists six years after Donald Trump cited those realities to get himself elected to the White House.

Trudeau Opens Immigration Floodgates To Low-Wage Migrants For Quick Fix To Alleged Labor Shortage

(Bloomberg) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is opening up Canada to an increase of temporary foreign workers in a controversial experiment aimed at easing strains on the nation’s overheating economy. Starting Saturday, the federal government will loosen limits on hiring low-wage employees from abroad, changes that could bring in thousands of additional migrant workers.


Justin’s friends need to depress wages to further take advantage of the inflation destroying dreams of home ownership.

Meet Freshii’s new ‘virtual cashier’ — who works from Nicaragua for $3.75 an hour

Many Freshii customers have already encountered “Percy.”

The video-calling device is attached to cash registers at a select few Freshii locations across Ontario, and it lights up when customers approach the counter.

On the other end of the screen is a cashier wearing a headset, ready to take orders. Unlike the Freshii workers that wrap burritos and mop floors, these “virtual” workers are nowhere near the store. Instead, at least some of them process orders from a Nicaraguan call centre nearly 6,000 km away, where they earn much less than Ontario’s minimum wage.

Don’t worry. With mass immigration people will be begging for less right here in Canada and Freshii will reshore.

More asylum-shoppers crossing into Canada from war torn America after ban lifted, stats show

Snowy northern winters tend to see a drop in asylum-seekers crossing from the United States into Canada at Roxham Road, Quebec. Not this past winter.

In December the number of asylum-seekers entering Canada outside formal land border crossings reached its highest point since August 2017, government statistics show.

The growing caseload is lengthening wait times for eligibility hearings, leaving claimants waiting months on social assistance before getting work permits, one attorney said.

First migrant bus from Texas arrives in DC, drops them blocks from Capitol

The first bus filled with dozens of illegal immigrants from Texas arrived in Washington, DC, Wednesday, one week after Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to transport migrants in the US illegally to the nation’s capital as the immigration crisis along the southern border grows.

The bus arrived in Washington around 8 a.m., parking blocks away from the US Capitol in front of the building that houses Fox News, NBC News and C-SPAN.

Spiraling housing prices caused by the Liberal Party’s ludicrous mass immigration scam are an ‘intergenerational injustice’, says Freeland

Canada’s finance minister has described the country’s out-of-control housing prices as an “intergenerational injustice”, as political leaders struggle to rein in a spiralling affordability crisis.

Chrystia Freeland, who also serves as Canada’s deputy prime minister, said the issue is her top domestic concern.

… “We cannot have the fastest growing population in the G7 without also having the fastest growing housing stock,” she said.

And their intervention in the market is going to solve the problem they themselves created.

Alrighty.

Buses Carrying Illegal Aliens From Texas On Their Way to DC

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wasn’t bluffing when he said he would bus illegal aliens dropped off by the federal government in small Texas communities to Washington, D.C. Apparently, DHS simply dropped the illegals off without warning and without asking permission. Many Texas towns were blindsided by Joe Biden’s “catch and release” policy and were begging Abbott for help.

Tech group wants new visa for skilled workers to enter country without a job offer

TORONTO – A group representing 150 of Canada’s fastest growing and most promising technology companies wants the federal government to pilot a new visa stream allowing high-skilled tech workers to enter the country without a job offer.

The visa proposed Thursday by the Council of Canadian Innovators would target in-demand professions like software developers and data scientists, allow recipients to work, switch jobs or employers and help them extend their stay and attain permanent residency without needing to switch into another visa category.

Rupa Subramanya: Canada’s woke Liberal government is driving immigrants away

Canada’s self-image is that of a country welcoming to immigrants, where newcomers are tightly woven into the national fabric. But, results of a recent survey suggest that at least some new immigrants are souring on Canada. A Leger poll commissioned by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) found that 30 per cent of new Canadians aged 18 to 34 said they were likely to move to another country within the next two years. Even for new Canadians who are university graduates, the percentage of those saying they wanted to leave was 23 per cent. ICC CEO Daniel Bernhard said that he believes some new immigrants are experiencing a “crisis of confidence” in their new country. Ironically, while 72 per cent of new Canadians thought that Canadians as a whole don’t understand the challenges new immigrants face, only 54 per cent of Canadians shared this opinion.
