In Thorncliffe Park, rush hour means gridlock at the elevator bay

School is out in Thorncliffe Park, and the race for the elevators is on.

It’s about 3:30 on a Monday afternoon — the kind of unusually sunny February day that leads some children to linger outside on the swing sets of the local park. But at this hour, many families are making their way route home.

Inside the lobby of 47 Thorncliffe Park Dr., the tail-end of their commute becomes a question of strategy. A crush of 20 or so people are waiting for one of the five elevators to reach the ground level. Many others — predominantly kids and teenagers — are meanwhile skirting the queue, wheeling left of the elevator bay to the stairwell, where they’ll climb to the second floor to intercept the car before it reaches the lobby, ensuring their spot inside.

I have seen this demographic chaos first hand.

Swiss Populists Secure New Migration Referendum in Record Time

The conservative Swiss People’s Party has announced that a petition to ensure the country’s population does not exceed 10 million before 2050 has crossed the 100,000-signature threshold needed to initiate a nationwide referendum.

Party representative and member of the Swiss National Assembly Thomas Matter was quick to trumpet his party’s success gathering 110,000 signatures in record time—almost a year ahead of the final deadline to do so.

Dozens of Chinese migrants spotted entering US illegally in California border town of Jacumba and say they’re here to ‘take the money’

Shocking images and video taken in California this weekend show Chinese migrants lined up at the border town of Jacumba and telling reporters shamelessly how they’re here to ‘take the money’.

Dozens and dozens, possibly up to hundreds of migrants, crossed the international boundary, according to Griff Jenkins of Fox News, who recorded the footage.

‘This is one of the largest groups of Chinese I have ever come across and there were […] two groups at the same time crossing in Jacumba, CA,’ the correspondent tweeted last week.

“Ireland is full!” Anti-immigration backlash in Ireland documentary”

Mass immigration is bringing a European-style populist revolt to Ireland

Ireland’s anti-immigration backlash has spiralled into country-wide unrest. Protests, arson attacks and hardening anti-immigration views have transfused Irish politics with a fervour not seen since the Troubles.

I went to Ireland to make a documentary for The Telegraph to find out what Irish people make of the growing strife.

We need to do this in Canada before our nation is destroyed.

Eagle-eyed residents reveal sophisticated migrant smuggling operation at northern US border

Illegal aliens crossing into USA from Canada

Unsettling Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in addition to the debacle to the south.

Residents of bucolic Swanton, Vt. — a town of about 6,500 people located just across Lake Champlain from New York and about a 10-minute drive from the Canadian border — have been getting a troubling firsthand look at the US’s northern illegal-migrant crisis for months.

Trudeau’s welcome mat for immigrants wears thin amid Canada housing crunch

OTTAWA, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has relied on immigration to drive economic growth and plug labor gaps, but now he is hitting the brakes after a seismic shift in public opinion that could undermine his chances to win the next election.

It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.


“It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.”

This propaganda was swallowed by a gullible Canadian public who like the proverbial frog was slowly boiling to death before realizing too late that Canada had been irrevocably harmed by mass immigration and the nation destroying lies of multiculturalism and diversity. It was promoted by the political and corporate classes who view mass immigration as a means to serve their selfish ends at your expense.

‘Gloves truly off now’: The fight among college presidents over international students is getting ugly

As soon as Canada announced it would cap the number of international students here, experts anticipated a dogfight among Ontario colleges for the limited new study permits for the province.

One prediction was that the colleges would throw Kitchener-based Conestoga College — the school with the most international students in the country — “under the bus.”

This week, disputes have boiled over in full public display, with two college presidents lashing out at one another.

The other immigration problem: Too much talent is leaving Canada

Surging immigration numbers are top-of-mind for Canadians. But as we reconsider targets for newcomers and address pain points such as housing, we also need to pay attention to talent retention.

Tens of thousands of people leave Canada every year, many of them talented and entrepreneurial people we will miss. Importantly, a significant fraction are themselves immigrants, which may mean we are missing an opportunity to boost Canada’s long-term growth and prosperity.

Who wants to stay in Trudeau’s Canada?

Illegals Nation: A ‘great replacement’ beginning to unfold?

Up until now, I’d always thought the ‘great replacement’ theory to remove the current Western electorate and replace them with third-world illegal migrants was some nutty fringe-right conspiracy theory.

The idea has been roundly denounced by the establishment as racist, although the French novelist who invented the theory in 2011, Renaud Camus, insisted that his theory was about civilizational values, not skin color.

These days, based on how the migrant crisis is unfolding in a couple of developments, it’s possible to wonder.

Migrant Crime Turning Cities Into War Zones

Criminals posing as asylum seekers are turning American cities into war zones.

The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, feared for how it tortures its victims, is setting up business in New York City, police sources reveal.

Gang members recruit migrants from shelters and as they come off buses from Texas, putting then to work in retail theft rings or on mopeds, grabbing phones and handbags and roughing up pedestrians.

SLOBODIAN: Multitudes incoming… got a spare bedroom?

Canadians first? That priority conflicts with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immigration agenda impacting a country he didn’t help build but one he’ll continue to methodically debilitate until Canada is free of him.

The Liberals are ignoring opposition protests and sticking to dangerously high 2024 immigration quotas they set, as struggling Canadians increasingly worry about having a place to call home. And many don’t even have a home anymore.

Elderly couple told they had to sell home to house asylum seekers

Councils are compulsorily purchasing empty properties to meet a surge in the number of asylum seekers being granted leave to remain in the UK.

Council chiefs have complained they are not being given enough time to find alternative accommodation for successful asylum seekers because of the Home Office’s faster decision-making to clear huge backlogs of cases.

The policy has been highlighted by the plight of an elderly couple who were told they had to give up their home to asylum seekers because of a shortage of suitable accommodation.

John Ivison: Warnings about too many international students were clear. The Liberals ignored them

Some days you’re the dog and some days you’re the tree.

Housing minister Sean Fraser must have had that arboreal feeling as he read a Canadian Press story that said as immigration minister he ignored warnings from his department that allowing foreign students to work more than 20 hours a week could lead to “program integrity” concerns.

In other words, there was a concern among officials that hundreds of thousands of foreign students could arrive in Canada to work in low-skilled jobs and do a little studying on the side while, in the meantime, driving up housing costs.

Trudeau Housing Minister Decoded: Supplying Corporate Welfare Class With Cheap Foreign Labour Worth Making Housing Unaffordable For A Generation Of Young Canadian Citizens

Housing minister denies he ignored warning about immigration levels and housing supply

OTTAWA – Housing Minister Sean Fraser said he didn’t ignore warnings as immigration minister about the number of new Canadians the country was accepting exceeding the number of houses the country was building.

The Liberals immigration targets set to plateau next year at 500,000 permanent residents are twice what the targets were when they came to office in 2015.

Fraser appeared at the House of Commons finance committee, where Conservative MP Jasraj Singh Hallan demanded to know why he had failed to act on that warning in his last cabinet post as immigration minister.


There is no “labour shortage” – Canada’s much-touted labour shortage is mostly a mirage

… Despite that apparent shortage, wages are not rising in response. That could be explained in part by a lack of pricing power by some employers. They may not be able to increase their own prices enough to absorb the cost of higher wages.

The heart of the answer, however, is the rise in the number of temporary foreign workers who are willing to work for cut-rate wages and are not as able to shift jobs nearly as easily as Canadian residents. The number of such workers has exploded since the pandemic, jumping to 120,000 at the end of 2022 from 73,360 at the end of 2019.

Our Captains of Industry loved indentured servants.
