Trudeau’s Canada: Temporary Residents, New Immigrants Push Up Canada Unemployment

Temporary residents and recent immigrants are driving up Canada’s unemployment rate, as record numbers of newcomers welcomed to the country to fill labor shortages are now struggling to find work.

The unemployment rate for temporary residents – including foreign workers, international students and asylum seekers – was 11% in June, according to Bloomberg calculations. Using comparable data, the unemployment rate for all workers was just 6.2% last month.

Immigrants who’ve landed in the last five years are also having a hard time finding a job, with their unemployment rate reaching 12.6% in June.

Do you care about your country? You now are “far right”

What is the agenda that Western voters have rejected? Put the climate before industrial production and stem the demographic collapse with non-European immigration.

There is a simpler explanation for the downfall of Western governments: they all agreed on an agenda that the majority ended up rejecting. In the words of the eminent Pierre Manent, great scholar of Machiavelli and Tocqueville, “we have been forbidden to love our history and we have been ordered to accept everything that accuses us, because the new political religion decrees to dissolve us in humanity”.

Emmanuel Macron’s centrist bubble party obtained only a fifth of the national vote following the disastrous European elections on 9 June. Marine Le Pen stood alone at 34 percent, the left-wing coalition at 28.

Nearly 40% of Immigrants say they’re considering leaving their province — or Canada — over high housing costs

Canada has reached record levels of immigration in recent years — but as housing costs continue to soar, many are finding their Canadian dream has turned into a nightmare.

According to the latest poll from the Angus Reid Institute, about two-in-five recent immigrants say they’re seriously considering leaving their province of residence due to housing unaffordability.

All regions suffer to a degree but Toronto is dying. Killed by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam.

Toronto’s temporary resident population surged. Now, many are feeling unsupported and scapegoated

Moving half a world away from her family in India, 22-year-old Radhika Raina found comfort in Brampton, where she had a cousin.

The city is a 90-minute commute to her classes in Toronto but has the cultural amenities she needed in a foreign land.

“Brampton felt like a home to me,” said Raina, who came in August for a two-year postgraduate program in addictions and mental health. The program is offered jointly by London, Ont.-based Fanshawe College and a private school.

I’m sorry but Canadians should not have to pay for what amounts to a criminal act committed by the Trudeau Government.

Federal government’s turbo-charged immigration helping drive housing demand

According to a recent Statistics Canada report, Canada’s population has just hit the level it was previously expected to reach in 2028. That startling finding underscores the extraordinary growth of the country’s population since the pandemic, driven by record inflows of both permanent and “temporary” immigrants.

A rapidly expanding population can bring some benefits, notably by stimulating overall economic activity and providing additional workers. But it’s not an alloyed good. The number of Canadian residents is increasing faster than economic output (gross domestic product), which has translated into an unprecedented series of declines in per-person GDP over the last several quarters. Productivity is stagnant, as newcomers struggle to find their way in the economy and job market. In addition, a significant share of new immigrants don’t seek or obtain employment, dampening immigration’s contribution to the growth of economic output.

Ottawa considering buying hotels to house growing number of asylum seekers

Ottawa is considering buying hotels to house the growing number of asylum seekers and to cut the cost of block-booking hotel rooms to accommodate them, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says.

The federal government has in the last few years taken out long leases on hotels to help provinces house thousands of refugee claimants. This year, Ottawa has been footing the bill for approximately 4,000 hotel rooms for 7,300 asylum seekers, many of whom have transferred from provincial shelters and churches, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.


That’s a great idea.

Create a hotel room shortage that kills off tourism and business travel with jacked up rates while providing fake refugees shelter at the expense of our own homeless.

Counting The Most Horrific Crimes Allegedly Committed By Illegals Who Crossed The Border Under Biden’s Watch

If it wasn’t clear at the beginning of President Joe Biden’s tenure at the White House, which kicked off the largest border invasion this nation has ever seen, it is clear now that every state is a border state suffering from the consequences of unchecked, preventable crimes committed by foreigners.

Doom Loop: Survey reveals public opinion on GTA housing crisis

According to a public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos (on behalf of BILD), 90 per cent of people in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) agree there is a housing affordability issue in the GTA and 72 per cent of agree that there is not enough being done to address it. In addition, approximately half of renters and young people in the GTA say they plan to move out of the province or to the suburbs in order to buy a home. Such shifts and the loss of these younger demographics would have a significant, and dire, impact on the GTA’s social and economic landscape. 

The fault for this lies squarely with Trudeau and his destructive mass immigration scam.

‘Fix your system’: Winnipeg rally calls for more international workers to remain in Manitoba

Hundreds rallied in northwest Winnipeg to call on the federal and provincial governments to allow more international workers to remain in Manitoba.

Protesters gathered at the city’s Adsum Park in The Maples on Sunday afternoon to demand that more people get their expiring work permits extended, among other things.

The federal government announced late last year it would stop offering an 18-month extension to post-graduate work permits, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Students can’t find jobs? Gee how did that happen?

Especially difficult summer ahead for young people looking for jobs, economist says

Isabelle Burzese started looking for a summer job in February. Now, after finishing her first year of studies at Concordia University in Montreal, she’s back home with her family and she’s still looking. With expenses piling up, her search is becoming more and more urgent.

“I’m not looking to get a job for spending money or money to have fun, even though I would love to,” the 18-year-old from Toronto says. “It’s really for tuition and rent and groceries and things like that for next year.”


Do not believe a word that the business community or the government says about the need for mass immigration to offset labour shortages. They are evil liars.

New faces, old fears

The front-page headline demanded action: “Time to Close the Gates.” It was March 26, 1908. Centred on the page, a list of three recently murdered men and their four “supposed slayers” – their non-Anglo-Saxon, ethnic names unmissable in all-caps. “The Goth is at our own gates,” The Globe editorial warned.

“One has only to glance at this list to see that the Slav and the Italian are swelling the statistics of crime in this country.” The only effective cure for the “invasion” would be “the closing of the gates on the offscourings of the Slav and Latin races.”


This Globe piece is one of a small flurry of articles that have recently appeared expressing concern about Canadian attitudes toward immigration and or identity politics.

It’s not surprising that the paper of record for Canada’s Corporate cronies will have published 3 such pieces in that last week.

The elite have have sold Canadians a “patriotic myth” that immigration is always beneficial and that to oppose it is racist.

Someone is getting worried about their supply of cheap foreign labour hence the push to remind Canadians to know their place in the run-up to Canada Day.

Canadians’ concerns about immigration levels on the rise

A recent federal report reveals a significant shift in public opinion on immigration quotas, with a growing number of Canadians expressing concerns about the number of immigrants entering the country.

Blacklock’s Reporter says according to a Department of Immigration memo, 35% of Canadians believe that the current number of immigrants is “too many,” a 13-percentage-point increase between March and November 2023.

The U.S. preoccupation with border security is steadily turning north

For more than a century, Canada and the United States have been justifiably proud of sharing the “world’s longest undefended border,” nearly 9,000 kilometres from ocean to ocean maintained largely by the deep trust between the two countries. The white marble Peace Arch, erected in 1921 astride the boundary line between B.C. and Washington State, has been an international symbol of that co-operation and trust.

Until last month.

COGGINS: Who can afford what… Canada’s affordable housing crisis

Canada is experiencing a crisis of unaffordable housing. One recent survey concluded that housing in Greater Vancouver was “impossibly unaffordable.” Another survey found that only 23% of British Columbian renters pay less than 30% of their income on rent, almost half spend 31%-49%, and 25% spend more than half of their income on rent.

That raises the question of what is affordable housing.

Current Immigration Levels Could Lead to ‘Overreaction,’ Quebec Premier Says

MONTREAL – Quebec Premier François Legault warned Friday there’s a risk of “overreaction” against newcomers if the province maintains its current immigration levels.

Legault told reporters on the Gaspé Peninsula he doesn’t want to see Quebec end up like the United States or France, where the debate on immigration has fuelled extremist views. Recent data show there’s been an increase of more than 300,000 non-permanent residents in Quebec in the last two years, a number Legault said is more than the province can accommodate.

“There’s a risk of reaction or overreaction in the face of impacts on services, on the French language, on housing,” he said. “We have to be balanced in how many immigrants we take in every year.”

In a country where immigrants are the majority, anti-immigration politics are obsolete

Among the less commented-on results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election was the performance of the People’s Party of Canada, the populist-nationalist party led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. If you missed it, here it is: they got 234 votes, or 0.63 per cent of the total.

What a disappointment this must be for the PPC, after winning 2.67 per cent of the vote in the riding in the past general election. But it’s in keeping with the trend nationally. In the 2021 election the PPC took nearly 5 per cent of the vote. Nowadays it’s mired in the two-to-three-per-cent range.

Coyne bullshits for a living, but this nonsense is below even his typically low standards.
