The federal government is reimposing some visa requirements on Mexican nationals visiting Canada, a senior government source tells Radio-Canada.
The new rules will take effect on 11:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Quebec Premier François Legault has been calling on the federal government to do more to slow the influx of asylum seekers into his province. Last week, he said Ottawa should bring back the visa requirement for Mexican travellers.
If police can be held responsible for conduct while acting in their professional capacities, then why not the judges, prosecutors, and politicians aiding and abetting the criminal aliens wreaking havoc and violence?
I actually almost missed the fact that when I came across the “illegal migrant rapes a 14-year-old girl” headline twice, it reflected two separate instances of illegal migrants raping a young teen-aged female—understandably I thought it was the same story.
As tensions mount over mass migration and a spate of brutal crimes by immigrants, Ireland is beginning to burn. Nationalist sentiments last seen in the twilight years of British colonial rule are reawakening, as a disenfranchised native population resorts to desperate measures to make their opposition to reckless migration policies heard.
Irish state broadcaster RTE recently reported that, since 2018, 23 buildings linked to planned migrant centres have been badly or completely damaged by fire. Ten of these fires have occurred since November of 2023. After Ross Lake House Hotel in County Galway, which was due to house 70 asylum seekers, burned on 16 December 2023, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar stated, “There is no justification for violence, arson, or vandalism in our Republic. Ever.” Green Party member and Minister for Integration Roderick O’Gorman called the fire “deeply sinister” and “designed to intimidate people seeking international protection here in Ireland.”
Canada’s radical immigration experiment, which has given it one of the world’s fastest rates of population growth, has run into big trouble in the ring of suburbs and small cities around Toronto.
A post-pandemic surge of international students is causing prices for rental housing to soar and placing a spotlight on the uncontrolled growth of colleges that, according to the government’s own immigration minister, are taking advantage of vulnerable young people with inferior academic programs. Much of the blame is falling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who oversaw a tripling in the number of foreign students to more than 1 million. Today, about 1 in 40 people in the country is on a foreign-study visa.
Documents obtained by CBC News reveal which colleges and universities account for the greatest share of Canada’s steep growth in international students, and which now have the most to lose from a new cap on permits to study in this country.
The data, obtained through access to information requests to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), shows the number of study permits granted each year since 2018 for foreign students to attend post-secondary institutions across the country.
That’s odd Miller contradicts CBC’s assertion …
Ottawa will shut down shady post-secondary institutions if provinces don’t: Miller
OTTAWA – Ottawa is ready to step in and shut down shady schools that are abusing the international student program if provinces don’t crack down, Immigration Minister Marc Miller warned Tuesday.
Miller said there are problems across the college sector, but some of the worst offenders are private institutions — and those schools need to go.
“There’s responsibility to go around,” Miller said on Parliament Hill ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting. “I just think that some of the really, really bad actors are in the private sphere and those need to be shut down.”
Over the past two years, Michelle Gauthier says she has seen her neighbourhood in Brampton significantly change. Homes have been sold off and dozens of people have moved in and out of certain houses, cramming into 1960s bungalows once reserved for single families.
“We’ve gone from houses that have two people living in them, to houses that – in some cases, like the one across the street from me – have 13 to 15 people living in it,” Ms. Gauthier said.
Influx of asylum seekers to Manitoba putting extra pressure on shelter system, advocates say
A growing number of asylum seekers in Manitoba is driving up demand for services to help them and putting pressure on Winnipeg’s already strained shelter system.
According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, 185 asylum claimants in Manitoba were processed this January alone, compared to just 35 in January 2023.
Because these individuals aren’t eligible for employment and income assistance, many have been relying on homeless shelters, said Emily Halldorson, humanitarian response specialist with the Manitoba Association of Newcomer Serving Organizations.
Put em on a bus to Trudeau’s house.
Corporate media are covering for the deadly consequences of President Joe Biden’s border invasion by pretending the illegal border crosser who allegedly assaulted, kidnapped, imprisoned, and murdered 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley this week was merely a nearby resident and not an illegal alien from Venezuelan with a criminal history.
Illegal immigration has become a key concern on the minds of voters this election year, with a new poll showing that, for the first time in the survey’s history, a majority Americans support building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
With record numbers of illegal immigrants pouring into the country, public concern about the border crisis is higher during President Joe Biden’s term than under the prior two administrations, according to a Monmouth University poll released on Feb. 26.
… He told me that as the numbers had become clear, he had increasingly despaired for younger Canadians who were “trying to get a home, get started with a family and trying to make it.”
The position of the federal government and most provinces is that by stimulating the construction of new housing, Canada can have affordable homes without lowering the value of current homes.
While Mr. St-Arnaud agrees that building more houses will help with affordability, he is skeptical that it will be enough to make homes truly affordable. And he noted that few, if any, politicians would have any interest in withstanding the political backlash that would come from doing anything that would push down the value of many Canadians’ most valuable asset, perhaps substantially.
“There are a lot of homeowners right now whose house is their only asset,” he said. “All their money goes to their house. They don’t have any pension fund or savings. Their house is everything. So if it’s no longer appreciating, it might put some financial strains on some of them.”
While offering some useful if distressing numbers this is yet another article on the housing crisis that fails to mention the impact mass immigration has had on demand.
In the terrifying months after the war in Sudan erupted, Kholoud Abakar and her children abandoned their home five times, moving from city to city in the devastated country in a race for survival.
Now, her Canadian family is fighting to get her and her seven children to safety in Canada. But even as Ottawa prepares a new family-reunification pathway to help thousands of Sudanese reach this country, restrictions in the rules could dash the hopes of Ms. Abakar and many others like her.
On Tuesday, the federal government is set to launch a program for up to 3,250 Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor relatives in Sudan to enter Canada.
Gee, which Muslim state would would welcome Canadian refugees? Oh that’s right none of them.
They don’t even take their own.
If a Democrat is sworn in as president of the United States next January, it’s not inconceivable that over the next four (or eight!) years, much of U.S. immigration law could come to resemble those archaic statutes that no one has bothered to repeal, like South Carolina’s ban on keeping a horse in your bathtub. But if someone becomes president who actually wants to create a sustainable immigration regime that promotes the national interest, his or her priority should be to stabilize the border, and next would be to implement administrative and statutory changes that would prevent the problem from returning.
On a desolate industrial park off a highway north of Toronto stands the Vaughan campus of Flair College of Management and Technology. The boxy façade of the business college is adorned with images of students cooking, at a computer screen, or wearing virtual-reality goggles. Yet the only sign of real life is a woman smoking a cigarette on the steps next door. It is a school day in late January, but the college doors are locked.
Flair’s other campus is in a Brampton strip mall that advertises an optometrist, a dental hygienist and a vascular institute. This at least looks open.
The headlines are full of stories about illegal aliens: They’re raping children, murdering young women, crashing their cars into children, assaulting and murdering police officers…and the list goes on. However, we’re told that we’re stuck with them. Well, we’re not. In the 1950s, when there was political will—and a plea from Mexico to send its citizens home—we did mass deport illegal aliens. Like Pakistan deporting its illegal Afghan aliens, El Salvador jailing its gangs, or Argentina balancing its budget in nine weeks, it just requires political will.
Peel police have issued a public safety alert to residents of Mississauga and Brampton after a 21-year-old offender was released back into the community.
Police say Oloruntimilehin Ojeikere was released from custody on Feb. 22, 2024, after being charged with sexual assault, criminal harassment, and uttering threats. Among the requirements of his house arrest are that he wear a GPS monitor, remain at home except for medical emergencies or to meet with lawyers or attend court, and not go anywhere near his victims.
… Officials say Ojeikere – who also goes by “Timi” – is staying in the Erin Mills Parkway and Brittania Road area and while he may present a safety risk to the public, they will act to protect his rights “if they are infringed upon.”
Why Canada’s consensus on immigration is fraying
OTTAWA—Anti-immigration sentiment used to be politically taboo. Election after election, a majority of voters told party leaders they wanted more immigrants, not fewer. That vision of a Canada welcoming newcomers with open arms, however, is increasingly challenged. Unless governments address a growing perception that unbridled migration is making the country worse off, we may be walking towards a darker, more divisive path, one that makes us less wealthy in the long run.
This week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre signalled a large reduction in migration numbers will be part of his upcoming platform.
Most of the article is given over to that lying idiot Miller making his usual stupid statements.
