John Robson: Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program Amounts to Slave Labour

Politics famously make for strange bedfellows. But what’s with the federal government and the temporary foreign worker program? How are these committed progressives working hand-in-glove with big business to exploit foreigners? And why aren’t we upset?

Arguably I don’t get out much. But lately when I do travel, short distances or long, I notice that nearly everyone I deal with in hotels, restaurants, etc., and half at the supermarket checkout, are here as slave labour. How’s that woke? Or tolerable?

Canadian youth hammered by vanishing summer job market thanks to abuse of Temporary Foreign Workers Program by Liberal Party cronies

Canada’s youth are staring down the worst summer jobs market in two decades; the latest sign of a Canadian economy whose shortcomings are disproportionately hammering the young.

According to new data published by the job site Indeed, summer job listings are down 22 per cent as compared to this time last year.

Cadets should be mandatory for young Canadian newcomers, says former honorary colonel

Canada should make it mandatory for young newcomers to join the cadet corps to learn more about this country’s history and values, says the former honorary colonel of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.

“We have to get to a point where you have to serve the nation somehow, somewhere, sometime during your life,” said Donald Cranston, a senior investment counsellor with Fiera Capital, who just stepped down last week from the honorary military appointment.

That’s Racist!

The Liberal Gov’t Conspired With Canada’s Corporate Welfare Class To Replace 10% Of The Workforce With Cheap Foreign Labour

We’ve known for some time that Canada’s immigration system was handed over to Corporate Canada and that they enthusiastically set about destroying the economic and social well being of our citizens with their gleeful lust for cheap foreign labour.

The results are everywhere to be seen. Insane Mohammedans parade about our streets in their role as Stormtroopers of Canada’s elite.

Our cities are 3rd world dumpster fires.

You’ve lost your job and can’t find a doctor for your family.

Welcome to the new Canada. Carney is one of them.

What the data show about the state of immigration in Canada since cuts were announced … The Liberal Government Is Not Serious About Reducing Mass Immigration

A new analysis of immigration data released by the federal government reveals that while the number of new permanent residents dropped after the federal government announced that it would cut immigration levels, the number of temporary foreign workers actually increased, while other temporary permits declined.

Last October, the federal government under then prime minister Justin Trudeau announced it would reduce its permanent immigration targets from 500,000 down to 395,000 in 2025. The government also set a cap for the first time on the intake of temporary residents in both student and worker streams, at 673,650 temporary resident visas for 2025.


It’s all bullshit. You’re children will never own a home and your city will be a 3rd World dumpster like the GTA.

Geoff Russ: Canada’s populist movement will have its day

Unless Carney addresses issues such as affordability and immigration, grassroots anger will eventually bring his government down

Canada’s populist moment did not come to pass — at least not yet.

Having deluded themselves into believing that the status quo is tenable, many on the left celebrated the result of the recent federal election as proof that Canada could withstand the wave of anti-establishment politics that has swept the West in recent years.

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani launches petition to end temporary foreign worker program

OTTAWA — Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has launched a petition to end the temporary foreign worker program.

The petition says the temporary foreign worker program is a “large contributor” to an unsustainable level of immigration and claims the program is taking jobs away from Canadians and suppressing wages.

Geoff Russ: Canada should follow Britain’s lead on immigration

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer did something extraordinary and unexpected last week: he publicly acknowledged that his country’s immigration system is broken.

Starmer ended generations of progressive orthodoxy by admitting that the dynamics of human migration, multiculturalism and integration have changed.

How immigration was weaponised against the masses

New Labour thought migration could ‘modernise’ Britain and put the ‘bigoted’ public in their place.

Keir Starmer’s plan to reduce net migration, announced this week, has provoked a predictably outraged reaction among the liberal and left-ish. They have accused the UK prime minister of racist dog-whistling, likening his ‘island of strangers’ speech to Tory MP Enoch Powell’s infamously inflammatory Rivers of Blood speech. As far as they’re concerned, Starmer is just the latest in a long line of politicians to ‘toxify’ and ‘weaponise’ the immigration debate in a desperate attempt to pick up votes and appease the right-wing press.

But they’re wrong. It’s not Starmer or right-wing tabloid owners or Reform UK’s Nigel Farage who have toxified and weaponised this most polarising of issues. No, the weaponisation of immigration, the transformation of it into the most divisive issue of our era, has deeper and altogether different roots.

Anthony Koch: The U.K. is ending open-borders immigration. Canada should do the same

In Canada, Liberal reaction has been too piecemeal, too little and too late to undo the damage caused by uncontrolled population growth

“We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.”

These are not the words of a populist firebrand or a conservative hardliner. They were spoken by Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Britain’s Labour Party and, since July 2024, prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Foreign student asylum claims hit record high in 2024, set to grow in 2025

International students filed a record 20,245 asylum claims last year, with 2025 on track to surpass that number, according to federal immigration data obtained by Global News.

The claims are rising, even as Ottawa cuts the number of study permits it issues, with Prime Minister Mark Carney pledging like his predecessor Justin Trudeau to return Canadian immigration to “sustainable levels.”

Carney lies about immigration cuts by undercounting so called “temporary migrants”

Carney’s aim to cut immigration marred by undercounting of temporary migrants, economists warn

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s aim to reduce immigration to “sustainable levels” will be achievable only on paper unless changes are brought in to ensure that Canada doesn’t continue to undercount the number of non-permanent residents living here, economists warn.

Mr. Carney, at his first press conference after the election, pledged to cap the total number of temporary workers and international students at less than 5 per cent of Canada’s population by the end of 2027.

Canadian telecom firms blame immigration policies for mobile subscriber slowdown plead for open borders intake of unvetted migrants because after all they have your best interests at heart

For years, Canada’s top telecom providers rode a wave of high immigration, collectively adding hundreds of thousands of new mobile phone subscribers most quarters. Those days are over.

Vicious idiots run Canada

Canada’s three biggest wireless firms — BCE Inc., Rogers Communications Inc. and Telus Corp. — all cited tighter immigration rules when explaining to investors over the past two quarters why subscriber growth has slowed. The trio recorded fewer than 54,000 net new mobile subscribers in the first quarter, the lowest number in four years.

Believe nothing from corporate Canada or the Liberal gov’t on immigration.

Canada’s jobless numbers could have been worse in April – in fact, Statistics Canada is pretty clear they would have been worse if not for the election.
