The rich world revolts against sky-high immigration

Immigrants are increasingly unwelcome. Over half of Americans favour “deporting all immigrants living in the us illegally back to their home country”, up from a third in 2016. Just 10% of Australians favour more immigration, a sharp fall from a few years ago. Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s new centre-left prime minister, wants Britain to be “less reliant on migration by training more uk workers”. Anthony Albanese, Australia’s slightly longer-serving centre-left prime minister, recently said his country’s migration system “wasn’t working properly” and wants to cut net migration in half. And that is before you get to Donald Trump, who pledges mass deportations if he wins America’s presidential election—an example populist parties across Europe hope to follow.


We do not require masses of immigrants to open up an unsettled land nor are we in the midst of an “Industrial revolution” and there are no more continental railways to be built.

Mass immigration serves only to line the pockets of the greed driven corporate class and earn the good will of ethnic vote blocs for our slimy politicos.

Our elites care nothing for you and your family they are destroying Canada for their own vile ends.

Matthew Lau: Torontonians’ truly awful travel options — taking the car or public transit

Everyone who relies on the Toronto Transit Commission to get to work or school knows “TTC” really stands for “Take The Car.” But given the horrendous traffic drivers must deal with, that’s not a great option either. An Ipsos poll for the Toronto Region Board of Trade finds 86 per cent of respondents agree either strongly (45 per cent) or somewhat (41 per cent) that “there is a traffic and congestion crisis in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).” Similarly, 85 per cent agree that “traffic and congestion have a negative impact on the economy in the GTA.”

Vancouver’s Langara College among those bracing for drastic plunge in foreign students

Langara College is preparing for drastic cuts in enrolment, particularly of high-fee-paying international students.

Langara president Paula Burns has told faculty there has been a 79 per cent drop in foreign student applications for the spring of 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Good. I hope they’re forced to close.

Deborah Lyons: Courageous leadership is needed to combat antisemitism in Canada

On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust — murdering over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking hundreds of hostages. Just nine days later, I was appointed as Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism.

Some might say that I consistently find myself in difficult jobs, during especially excruciating times, having most recently led the United Nations’ efforts in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021. But this role is different. As a diplomat, I dealt with issues that impacted Canada’s relationship with other countries, but as Special Envoy, I’m dealing with an issue that is challenging Canada’s very own relationship with itself, its social cohesion, democratic values, and national security.


This is really sad. Lyons advocates for interfaith dialogue and all the usual Kumbaya nonsense. No one buys this crap save out of touch white guilt suffering bozos like her. The Islamists are laughing at us. Pity they didn’t allow comments.

Bank of Canada warns high volume of immigrants driving up cost of rent

Bank of Canada (BoC) analysts on Wednesday disputed cabinet claims immigration is an immediate net benefit to the country, and warned the rapidly increasing population is costing Canadians.

Immigrants typically drive up rents, are slow to get a job and contribute “to inflationary pressures in some sectors,” said BoC in a monetary policy report, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Colby Cosh: The bankers’ revolt against Canada’s tidal wave of immigration

I continue to be weirded out by the unfamiliar, almost uncanny nature of what I think we can call Canada’s immigration crisis — i.e., the apparent effects on labour markets, housing, services and infrastructure of an ill-managed and virtually unprecedented deluge of humanity. (And, no, I don’t think the super-immigration of the homesteading era qualifies as a precedent.) What’s unfamiliar about this is that critiques of government immigration policy have been led, in Canada, almost exclusively by economists. There is as yet no sign of widespread populist revolt against very high immigration; it is the bean-counters, the nerdy jugglers of abstractions, who are losing their patience with Liberal heedlessness.

Sixty per cent of Canadians say Canada is admitting too many immigrants: poll

GUNTER: Trudeau’s work policies spawning problems for immigration

Since coming to office in 2015, the Trudeau government has made foreign study in Canada a parallel immigration system, effectively doubling the number of newcomers it admits every year by giving the process another title.

Hundreds of thousands of students gain easy admission to loosely designated “career colleges,” at which they take nine to 12 months of business training. During their time as students, they are able to work up to 40 hours a week (to be cut back to 24 hours a week by Ottawa as of Sept. 1).

Feds were warned about setting ‘significant precedent’ with Ukraine visa program

Court documents show federal immigration officials warned that the government risked undermining the temporary immigration system with the design of the emergency visa program for war-displaced Ukrainians.

Immigration Department staff raised the concern in a memo to Sean Fraser, immigration minister at the time, shortly after the program was announced.

The documents were disclosed as part of a lawsuit against the federal government by two Afghan Canadians, who allege Canada discriminated against Afghan refugees by treating them differently than it did Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion.

Sounds like another open the floodgates gambit.

LILLEY: Trudeau fails to deal with out-of-control immigration

We’ve already admitted more foreign students into Canada than we did in the same time period last year.

In the middle of a housing crisis.

At a time when health systems across the country struggle to hire enough doctors and nurses to care for the population that is already here.

Trudeau’s Mass Immigration Scam: Foreign student permits are already outpacing 2023’s record numbers

Even as federal Liberal government is pledging to cap the number of international study permits, its own data show Canada is approving permits at a pace faster than last year, which saw a record number of approvals.

According to numbers curated online by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada handed out 216,620 international study permits in the first five months of 2024.

The little prick is currently on vacation.

Ireland’s anti-immigration protests are turning more violent

It would have been reasonable to assume that the relatively poor showing for anti-immigration candidates in Ireland’s local elections last month, like the unexpectedly strong performance by the governing coalition, marked the beginning of a decline for Ireland’s nascent populist movement. But yesterday’s serious disorder in Coolock, a working-class community in North Dublin, proves that the issue is very far from defused.

Canada’s housing crisis is fuelling a population crisis

Canadians now spend more of their incomes on housing than almost any other country in the world. Between 1980 and 2020, housing prices in Canada rose by 746 per cent, far outpacing the median household income, which grew by less than half of that. Then housing prices soared another 50 per cent during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, the country’s fertility rate has been falling steadily, hitting historic lows in each of the past five years it was measured. As of the latest tally in 2022 – when inflation was red hot – Canada’s fertility rate fell to just 1.33 children per woman. For reference, a country requires a fertility rate of 2.1 to keep its population stable, without relying on immigration.

Doug Ford says provinces need Ottawa to pay ‘fair share’ of costs for asylum-seekers

HALIFAX — Ontario is asking the federal government to pay up and cover the costs of supporting and housing asylum-seekers, as Quebec’s premier said his province is willing to give up some funding so that other provinces can take in larger numbers.

Speaking at the final news conference at the Council of the Federation’s annual summer meeting — this year hosted by Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston — Premier Doug Ford said Ontario spends $1 billion a year and that asylum-seekers are often left in limbo by the federal government.

Migration to Britain Drives Largest Population Rise in Recorded History

The mass migration policies of the ousted UK “Conservative” government have resulted in the largest population increase in recorded history.

Figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the population of England and Wales climbed by 610,000 between mid-2022 and mid-2023, taking the officially recognised total population to 60.9 million, the sharpest increase since records began 75 years ago in 1949.
