“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

FIRST READING: Canada’s rapidly fraying social cohesion

Polls are beginning to show signs that Canadians are breaking with their traditional reputation for tolerant social cohesion.

In just the last few months, there’s been a significant breakdown in the numbers of Canadians viewing immigration as an automatic good. At the same time, tensions between Canada’s various demographics are on the upswing – most notably when it comes to Canadian Muslims.

For decades, immigration polls have typically showed that the average Canadian is skeptical about increasing immigration levels, and worried that newcomers aren’t integrating. But these fears were usually checked by an overall acceptance that immigration was a net good for the country.

Foreign Student Scam: Canada unveils new restrictions on work permits for international students, spouses

The federal government has announced new measures to limit and curb the abuse of Canada’s international student program.

Starting on Sept. 1, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday, the federal government will stop issuing postgraduate work permits to international students who graduate from programs provided under so-called Public College-Private Partnerships.

Furthermore, for most of the international students who are not studying in graduate schools or in a professional program such as medicine or law, their spouses will no longer receive a work permit to work in Canada.

WTF! The Liberals were letting the spouses in too?

It’s only a 2 year cap and the number of permits is being reduced to 364K, a reduction of only 35% that’s still too many as this was just a Liberal party scam to begin with.

Joe Biden’s Death Wish

His border policy is Trump’s greatest gift.

Should Republicans, as Donald Trump is arguing, steer clear and let President Biden continue to bear the political costs of the border crisis? Or should they move the ball on policy as much as possible, even if it somewhat alleviates Biden’s difficulty going into the election?

This is a fascinating discussion, but it raises the question why Biden wouldn’t make it moot by helping himself out of his own border crisis.

Number of international students now exceeds one million, official figures show

Vicious idiots run Canada

The number of international students in Canada now exceeds one million, according to official figures that show an increase that has escalated far faster than the government’s own internal forecasts.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told The Globe and Mail that at the end of December, there were 1,028,850 study permit holders, with just over half of them in Ontario.

THOMSON: Bernier was right on immigration, wasn’t he?

Finally.

In the lead up to the 2019 federal election, People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier was uncannily prophetic on immigration.

Right now immigration, and its impact on housing, jobs and affordability becomes a successively bigger topic each week.

More and more columnists, journalists, economists and politicians are talking about it. Yet none of them has given even a grudging acknowledgement to Maxime Bernier’s 2019 platform on this issue.

Canada is buckling under record immigration

Rising migration levels are putting public services under strain

Population growth used to be determined by birth rates. But in the infertile West, it’s increasingly immigration policy which makes the difference. One might think, then, that no government would use this power beyond reasonable bounds. However, that’s to reckon without Justin Trudeau. During his eight years in office, the Canadian Prime Minister has pursued a recklessly liberal immigration policy.

‘Huge spike’ in population adding to pressures on Ontario ERs

“Huge spikes” in population are adding to the “sustained pressure” felt by the province’s emergency rooms, the Ontario Hospital Association is warning.

In a statement Wednesday, the group said Ontario’s rapidly rising population is linked to growing wait times and high levels of hospital occupancy amid the circulation of rampant respiratory illnesses.

As of January 13, there were 1,274 COVID-19 patients, 445 flu patients and 158 RSV patients receiving care at Ontario hospitals, according to the OHA.

Douglas Todd: Ottawa insider warns about immigrant-investor schemes

“The strange story of Vancouver” is the name of an internal immigration department memo that reveals the many things wrong with Canada’s earlier business-investor programs. That hasn’t stopped Ottawa from expanding a related scheme.

An adviser within Canada’s immigration department is warning about the dangers of entry programs that favour entrepreneurs, given the failure of earlier initiatives.

The internal cautions come at the same time the immigration department, which has been under fire from top bank economists for damaging the economy by bringing in a record 1.25 million permanent and temporary residents in a year, is expanding another program that gives preference to would-be entrepreneurs.

America is seeing a tiny civil war in Texas

Pundits these days often warn that America may be on the brink of civil war. Finally, they’re right – except that in tiny Eagle Pass, Texas, forget being on the brink. In microcosm, civil war is already under way.

Once again playing immigration hardball, last week the Texas governor Greg Abbott, the vile, heartless Republican whose voodoo doll progressive Democrats poke pins in, sent the Texas National Guard to assume control of an Eagle Pass park used to process migrants and additional lands along the Mexican border. In so doing, the state militia is actively blocking the US Border Patrol from policing several miles along the banks of the Rio Grande. The intention, according to the Texas Military Department, is to block ‘organisations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings’. Those organisations would seem to include the federal government.

Canadians Must Act Now to Save Our Country

Our nation is undergoing unprecedented social and economic transformation.

Many Canadians are suffering while our elected representatives remain silent. During the COVID crisis, the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution were suspended while our institutions and members of Parliament quietly approved the mandates.

Canada’s Real Estate Bubble Is Batsh!t Crazy Compared To Other G7s

New data from the world’s largest central bank serves a reminder of just how batsh*t crazy Canada’s real estate bubble is. Housing bubble experts from the US Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (Dallas Fed) released its latest update of global home prices in Q3 2023. Most G7 countries moved in a similar fashion, rising with 2020 rate cuts and have shown recent moderation. However, zooming out reveals Canada’s real estate bubble is nothing like any other G7 country. It puts the peaks seen in US and Japanese bubbles to shame, predating its recent population boom narrative.

USA – Recent Sky-High Levels of Illegal Migration Are Dropping Fast — and Here’s Why

AUSTIN, Texas — Nothing in the American experience has ever compared to the 10,000-14,000 illegal crossings every day the last several months that afflicted major American cities or those poor federal government souls who must manage the U.S. southern border.

But November’s and December’s latest “newest” record-smashing crossings, which exacerbated an already significant political liability to President Biden’s November reelection bid, were falling fast by New Year’s Day. And they’re still dropping.

Useless Immigration Minister urged to crack down on international student ‘no shows’ at colleges

Immigration experts are calling on the government to crack down on the abuse of study permits for international students, including those gaining admission to Canada but who do not attend college or university once they get here.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is also being urged to target people applying from abroad to attend private colleges that report high levels of “no shows.”

The Liberals are doing nothing to mitigate the harm done.
