Conservatives call for Liberals to block ‘candy sentences’ for immigrants convicted of crimes

OTTAWA — Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner reiterated her call Tuesday for the Liberal government to amend the Criminal Code to put an end to “candy sentences” that she says allow immigrants who commit crimes to avoid deportation.

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, the longtime Conservative MP argued that a slew of recent headlines detailing how non-Canadians charged with various crimes but received reduced sentences so as to avoid deportation proceedings was “insane and disgusting.”

In this Canadian city, rent gobbles up 95% of a full-time, minimum-wage earner’s working hours

Rents in Canada are so high that minimum-wage earners have to allocate much of their full-time work hours to cover the average cost an apartment, thereby jeopardizing their push for financial independence, according to a new report by Zoocasa Realty Inc.

“Financial independence and stable housing have long been seen as markers of adulthood, but for many young Canadians, these milestones are slipping out of reach,” the report released on Aug. 10 said.

Open Border Extremists at CBC equate desire for immigration reform with “hate crime”

Hamilton anti-racism groups give tips on how to avoid unwittingly renting venues to groups deemed extremist

An organization calling for the deportation of immigrants says it’s hosting a conference in the Hamilton area on Aug. 29, prompting local anti-racism groups to take action.

In an open letter, several organizations, including the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) and Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), are urging businesses and institutions not to rent space to Dominion Society of Canada and other such groups.

The letter also shares tips to help venues avoid unwittingly letting extremist groups book their events.

The CBC is a far left extremist group and their message is clear you are to be demonized for your beliefs. Frank discussion of immigration reform marks you as a forever guilty racist oppressor and any attempt to stand up and protect your own best interests is a hate crime.

GUNTER: Liberal refugee claimant policy burdens Canada’s health care

GUNTER: Liberal refugee claimant policy burdens Canada’s health care

That didn’t take long.

Back in May, as part of a promise in the last federal budget to lower the cost of providing health care for unproven refugee claimants and asylum seekers, the federal government announced that newcomers awaiting hearings on their permanent residency would be required to pay 30% of their health care costs and four dollars on all prescriptions.

Carney government restores health coverage it had cut for so called refugees

Carney government restores health coverage it had cut for so called refugees

OTTAWA — The Carney government has quietly walked back some of its cuts to a program providing temporary health-care coverage to refugees and asylum-seekers, months after slashing benefits for some of Canada’s most vulnerable newcomers.

Earlier this year, following a budget pledge to lower funding, Ottawa introduced changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides health care to resettled refugees and asylum claimants who are waiting to qualify for provincial or territorial insurance.

Beginning in May, most people eligible for the program were required to pay 30 per cent of costs for health services, assistive devices and medical supplies that had previously been covered, along with $4 for prescription medication and refills.

The Justifications for High Immigration Are Quickly Evaporating

The Justifications for High Immigration Are Quickly Evaporating

The intellectual foundation underlying the Canadian policy of continuous, high immigration is showing considerable strain as key weaknesses are exposed in several of the arguments most commonly used by proponents.

One of the most common reasons cited by politicians to explain why Canada needs a high annual immigration inflow is to offset declining domestic fertility rates. A core flaw of this argument was just exposed in a paper published in Population Research and Policy Review, a longstanding peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the study of demography.

Migration Drives 95% of Population Growth in England and Wales

Migration accounted for 211,700 of the 224,900 people added to the population of England and Wales in the year to mid-2025—almost 95% of the total increase.

Bombshell figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that the combined population hit a record 62 million, rising by 224,900 in just one year.

Net international migration added 211,700 people, while the excess of births over deaths accounted for just 19,600.

Immigration Scam: Conestoga College plunges into $33M deficit as foreign tuition crashes and jobs disappear

Immigration Scam: Conestoga College plunges into $33M deficit as foreign tuition crashes and jobs disappear

Conestoga College plunged into a $33-million operating deficit in the fiscal year that ended March 31, after $323 million in tuition evaporated with the collapse of foreign enrolment, new documents show.

An additional $129 million in tuition will evaporate by next March with the departure of two-thirds of foreign students who remain, the Kitchener-based community college is now forecasting.

This may put more jobs at risk after the college axed an estimated 2,750 positions including administrators, faculty and support staff.

PM Carney says government has ‘taken back control’ of immigration – Except for those 50,000 Indians on student visas who have disappeared

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government has “taken back control” of immigration.

The prime minister made the remarks at a press conference in Red Deer, Alta., after being asked about the upcoming referendum that will ask Albertans how they want the province to deal with immigration.


Carney never lets reality get in the way of his BS.

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canada’s population decline may just be a distant memory after the data is updated. In June, Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) population estimate contained a stark warning that its data will see an unusually large revision. CIBC economists expect the revision will be large enough to reverse the reported declines and expose a new problem—Canada’s job numbers may be worse than reported, and there’s no longer an excuse for poor economic growth.

Immigrants to Canada have adopted the country’s low-fertility rates, new research finds

Economic migrants, who make up the bulk of Canada’s immigrants, have adopted their new country’s behaviour in one significant area — they have very low fertility rates, new research suggests.

“Immigrants are feeling the low-fertility pressure of Canada here, like everyone else,” says demographer and sociologist Rachel Margolis, a professor at Western University, and one of the authors of a new paper on immigration and fertility.


I doubt anyone has accurate data on how many foreigners documented or not currently reside in Canada.

Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

Joel Kotkin: Immigration alone won’t solve Canada’s population decline

This year, Canada’s population decreased, the first time since Confederation 160 years ago.

The reasons vary, but include a reduction in mass immigration, a very low birthrate and a stagnant economy sending ambitious Canadians to — horror of horrors! — the brutal nation just to the south.


That decrease is smoke and mirrors. The Liberals continue to import replacement migrants.

Indian students arranged marriages of convenience for spouse work permits to Canada, warned New Delhi migration official

The number of Indian undergraduate students applying to come to Canada has dropped over the past few years, in part because Ottawa ended a program granting the spouses of international students work permits, an internal government communication shows.

The communication discloses how marriages of convenience by some Indian students had enabled their spouses to accompany them to this country to work and to help them pay for their studies.
