What some immigrants could lose if Alberta votes yes to Danielle Smith’s questions

If Albertans vote yes to the five immigration questions on this fall’s referendum, many of Alberta’s 260,000 temporary workers and other non-permanent residents could lose their health and education coverage — while all the rest could have to pay access fees on top of the taxes they pay.

When it comes to the most prominent question on Alberta’s Oct. 19 ballot, Premier Danielle Smith has said she is against separating. But she endorses and has vowed to campaign for the other nine questions she’s put to Albertans on immigration and constitutional reform.

She’s pitched them as a third-way option for supporters to express frustration with Ottawa without going as far as endorsing secession.

Liberals pause ‘Give Grandma’s Hospital Bed To Some Freeloading Foreigner” Immigration Program

OTTAWA – The federal government will not accept any new applications this year from people who want to sponsor their parents and grandparents to come to Canada as permanent residents under a program meant to promote family reunification.

The Immigration Department said the change is part of an effort to responsibly manage the system and reduce wait times.

In a statement posted online, the department said interest in the program continues to exceed the number of available spaces.


Reduce wait times? This program should not exist. Bastards.

LILLEY: Canada keeps rewarding those who stay after their visas expire

LILLEY: Canada keeps rewarding those who stay after their visas expire

A recent tribunal ruling in Ontario saying illegal immigrants are entitled to welfare may look like a single case, but it could turn into four million cases. That’s how many temporary visas are expiring between last year and this year, and the Liberal government in Ottawa has no plan to ensure people leave.

Liberals Used Mass Immigration To Hide A Weak Economy

Liberals Used Mass Immigration To Hide A Weak Economy

Canada’s economy looked like it was booming. Then slower immigration made it difficult to maintain that illusion. Economists at BMO Capital Markets challenged the narrative that population growth fuels economic growth. Looking at over 50 years of data, the bank warned investors there’s zero correlation between population and economic growth. The manufactured boom briefly provided a distraction from a weak economy, pairing it with a housing crisis that’s now in full correction mode.

Ford wants changes after man living illegally in Canada found eligible for Ontario welfare

Ford wants changes after man living illegally in Canada found eligible for Ontario welfare

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will change provincial regulations if needed after learning that an immigrant living illegally in Canada for decades has been ruled eligible for social assistance benefits from Ontario.

Ford’s comments came in the form of a social media post on a case reported by National Post involving a man who said he came to Canada in 1997 on a temporary work permit. Although his permit expired after four years, he has been living here ever since.


This is the same guy who called us bigots for wanting mass immigration ended.

It’s only in the last few months that he has started to mimic a conservative politician again.

I do not trust him his polls must be bad.

Feds promote Francophone immigration pilot in communities with high unemployment

The feds are bringing attention back to their rural immigration programs — this time to their Francophone Community Immigration Pilot (FCIP) in particular.

In a social media post, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) revisited its pilot, first announced back in early 2025, reaffirming its commitment to the francophone program in mid-2026.

SNOBELEN: Canada’s trucking industry rolling into a dangerous era

SNOBELEN: Canada’s trucking industry rolling into a dangerous era

There is a pattern to building a respectable business.

Small family businesses mark milestones along a growth trajectory that builds over time into a mature, stable and sometimes profitable business.

Our little trucking business was like that. The first new truck. A bigger rented yard and shop. The first big company party. And finally, our first, heavily mortgaged and built-to-spec. truck yard.

‘I don’t blame them,’ says instructor after Quebec requires new Ontario truckers to take exam

‘I don’t blame them,’ says instructor after Quebec requires new Ontario truckers to take exam

Members of Ontario’s trucking industry say they understand why Quebec will require inexperienced drivers from Ontario to take practical exams, citing concerns over insufficient training.

“I don’t blame them. It’s unfortunate,” said Gus Rahim, president of Ontario Truck Driving School.

Some schools that offer training in Ontario — the first province to introduce mandatory entry-level training for truckers — have been found by Ontario’s auditor general to be cutting corners, and Rahim says that’s been a serious concern for the reputation of all schools and for road safety.

Don’t need them, don’t want them

After months of protesting outside Queen’s Park, hundreds of applicants who say they were wrongly caught up in Ontario’s crackdown on immigration fraud are taking their fight to court.

A panel of three judges is scheduled to hear a judicial review on July 8 involving applicants whose Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) applications were returned last year. The applicants argue the province unfairly grouped legitimate workers with fraudulent applications by returning thousands of files without individually assessing them.


We have been abused by our elite scammers.

“This one big worry for young people won’t be fixed by giving up avocado toast” … because the Star continues to gaslight the public about the impact of the LPC’s ruinous mass immigration scam

“This one big worry for young people won’t be fixed by giving up avocado toast” … because the Star continues to gaslight the public about the impact of the LPC’s ruinous mass immigration scam

When I’m describing my early years to my children it often feels like I’m talking about a journey made by time machine. At the age of 12 — a child myself — I was babysitting other people’s children. I should not have been trusted to look after a peanut butter sandwich, but concepts like safety were more fluid in those days.

I worked three part-time jobs to put myself through university. One of them was at the fur-coat storage department at Eaton’s, and just try explaining that to young people. “Fur storage” and “Eaton’s” are concepts equally lost in the mists of time.


Only at the Star would a columnist gaslight their own kid.

I am not sure why the authors of the study failed to mention mass immigration’s role in youth joblessness but I have my suspicions.

Latest CBC Sob Story: Hundreds of undocumented Alberta students at risk of losing free access to school

Hundreds of children and teens already attending Alberta schools could be ineligible to enroll for free in September as their families’ immigration status hangs in limbo.

Of the nearly 46,000 students in Alberta schools who are temporarily in Canada, data provided to CBC News by some school boards shows that potentially thousands of children and youths’ study permits will expire by Sept. 30, 2026 — the day after Alberta Education takes a headcount to determine each school’s funding.

Don’t bail out developers. Rescue housing

Don’t bail out developers. Rescue housing

The debate over governments purchasing unsold condominiums is asking the wrong question.

Critics are right to warn against governments becoming the buyer of last resort for failed condominium projects. That would socialize private losses, reward speculation and encourage developers and lenders to take greater risks, knowing taxpayers may absorb them.
