Canadians are divided over record-high immigration numbers. Despite growing community resentment, the NDP-Liberal government plans to admit 485,000 in 2024, 500,000 in 2025, and then stabilize at the 500,000 level. This policy is irresponsible.
The community experience is that these levels must be lowered to achieve social integration, job market balance, and reasonable housing. Historically, 250,000 immigrants and 20,000 refugees worked and this was supported by Canadians.
… Above all, it’s time to discard the misguided notion that the purpose of immigration is to fill labour shortages and build a bigger work force. That idea has been promoted by Canada’s business associations and adopted by the Liberal government.
More immigration doesn’t necessarily reduce labour shortages. A bigger labour force won’t necessarily make Canada richer. But a better labour force will.
Canada is run by greedy stupid people. It is entirely possible that the continued mass import of incompatible cultures will result in our own UK style anti-immigration riots.
Sir Mark Rowley has grabbed a journalist’s microphone after being questioned over “two-tier policing”.
The Met Commissioner was asked by a Sky News journalist, “Are we going to end two-tier policing, sir?”, as he left the Cabinet office in Westminster, following a Cobra meeting.
Footage shows Sir Mark walking past a crowd of reporters before grabbing hold of the microphone.
The thinned-skinned Met Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, was asked “Are you going to end two-tier policing?"
He then grabs a journalist's microphone. It’s a fair question, and he damaged someone else’s property.
He’s beyond unfit for his role and should be gone by now. pic.twitter.com/PeJreIhgzN

Fear and loathing of the white working class is palpable in the elite’s response to the unrest.
Something extraordinary happened in the UK this week: the murder of three working-class girls was turned into a moral panic about working-class communities. Ruthlessly, with something approaching relish, the media elites dragged the public gaze from the frenzied stabbing of girls in a seaside town to the supposed frothing bigotries of the seaside town itself. In elite circles, angst over the evil visited on the children of Southport gave way to a foreboding over what lurks within Southport. In those terraced houses, with their white working-class inhabitants, so susceptible to online lies, so given to racial animus. These people want us to fear not the wicked individuals who terrorise our towns, but the towns themselves.

It’s hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
Americans’ concerns about immigration have risen sharply this year, with half of Americans saying that the large number of immigrants and refugees entering the country is a “critical threat” to U.S. interests, up from 42 percent last fall to the highest level since 2010, according to a poll by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
The poll found that most Americans support two proposals laid out by former president Donald Trump: using U.S. troops to stop immigrants from coming into the United States from Mexico and expanding a wall on that border.
Women and children are not safe in our country because the streets are full of dangerous foreign men who have no right to be here.
The government must defuse this anger and start listening to people’s legitimate fears. Smearing them as far-right or racist won’t wash any more. https://t.co/BGYmSf1WGw— Pat Condell (@patcondell) August 3, 2024
Canada’s government is preparing to unveil a suite of measures to clamp down on temporary immigration and has no plans to follow through right now on a broad program offering status to undocumented residents, the country’s immigration minister told Reuters.
“The era of uncapped programs to come into this country is quickly coming to an end. This is a big shift. You can’t just slam on the brakes and expect it to stop immediately,” Marc Miller said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday.

Fears far-Right riots could erupt in a dozen cities tonight
A further wave of far-Right disruption is expected across the UK following the killings of three young girls in Southport.
Violent extremists are planning to descend on more than a dozen cities and towns in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, according to reports.
*Hope not Hate, the anti-racism charity, has warned demonstrations are being planned for London, Aldershot, Sunderland, Hull, Liverpool, Cardiff and Manchester.
*Hope Not Hate” is the Brit equivalent of the SPLC or CAHN, far left smear groups that support Antifa.
Starmer should have acknowledged that these protests didn’t spring out of nowhere, that they have nothing to do with a mythical ‘far right,’ and that a sense of injustice has been brewing for years over what looks like the deliberate destruction of our society and replacement of… https://t.co/jaBjmHEZZ5

An immigrant or child of immigrant goes on a killing rampage and the government goes after phantom “far right” threat. Is this a speech to usher in a slew of censorship measures on Islamophobia? https://t.co/t7uirwiUh4

Reality is teaching some important lessons to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about flirting with the ideal of virtually open borders. So are Canada’s premiers and the public.
Particularly in regard to asylum seekers.
For months B.C. Premier David Eby and Quebec Premier François Legault have been almost frantically trying to send a message to Trudeau and his childhood friend, Immigration Minister Marc Miller, that they should no longer indulge in their romantic rhetoric of the past.
It’s been about a year since Immigration Minister Marc Miller took up his post at Canada’s gates with promises to bring the flow of newcomers down to manageable levels, and the situation has only gotten worse.
In 2023 alone, 1.3 million people came to the country, growing the population by 3.2 per cent — that’s more than three times as seen in the United States. It’s a rate that would have been hard to fathom years ago: temporary foreign workers are up sevenfold since 2000, as is the international student population. Once on a gentle rise, the numbers took off in 2015, and became especially steep after the COVID pandemic.

Of the people surveyed by the Privy Council Office, 100% said the federal cabinet is “headed in the wrong direction” when it comes to immigration, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
“Asked whether they felt the government of Canada was on the right or wrong track when it came to managing the immigration system, all believed it was headed in the wrong direction,” said a Privy Council report.
It’s clear multiculturalism and liberal leadership are to blame for rising violence. We need to take drastic measures.
Southport is the end of the line for me, I’m afraid. I refuse to play this game any longer. So “No” Prime Minister Starmer, you do not speak for me—I am not remotely “shocked” that the caravan of mass slaughter has made an unscheduled stop in Southport. “Au contraire,” Your Majesties, I do not find it difficult to “imagine what the families, friends and loved ones are going through” (and doubtless, given time neither will the rest of you). And it’s “Uh-uh” to you too, Home Secretary Cooper, my “thoughts and prayers” already have a prior engagement; resigned to the hope that the “refugees welcome” conniving bastards like you are one day held accountable for the blood on your hands. I’m sick of it all, but mostly I’m sick of the innocent picking up the bar tab for the multicultural piss-up they were denied entry to.
I’m not sure if many Canadians paid attention to U.S. Senator J. D. Vance’s speech to the Republican convention in Milwaukee recently. Even those who stayed up for the late-hour speech might dismiss it as another populist rant from a “hillbilly.” They’d be mistaken, because it carries big lessons for Canada.
I’m most interested in this section of his speech: “Now, it is part of that tradition, of course, that we welcome newcomers. But when we allow newcomers into our American family, we allow them on our terms. That’s the way we preserve the continuity of this project from 250 years past to hopefully 250 years in the future.”
Canadians are divided over the country’s record-high immigration quotas, with more than half saying new residents are failing to assimilate, according to new federal data.
“Half of Canadians, 51 percent, agree immigrants need to do more to integrate into Canadian society,” said in-house research by the department of immigration. “Just under half of Canadians, 46 percent, agree Canada should focus on helping unemployed Canadians rather than looking for skilled immigrants to fill labour shortages.”
