Unite The Kingdom Rally

Tens of thousands descend on London for rival protests

Tens of thousands of protesters have descended on London for two rival marches – the United the Kingdom rally organised by far-right figure Tommy Robinson, and a pro-Palestinian demonstration.

More than 4,000 police officers have been deployed to the capital, and they are managing a so-called “sterile zone” between the two marches. Officers are also using drones, police horses and dogs, and have armoured vehicles on standby.

The Metropolitan Police has called it one of the most significant policing operations in years.

Present tense: Many Canadian Jews have lost their sense of belonging in a country they no longer recognize

Present tense: Many Canadian Jews have lost their sense of belonging in a country they no longer recognize

Talia Klein Leighton compares being a Canadian Jew since October 7 to a frog in a pot of boiling water.

“Every time I wake up and I realize that the water’s getting hotter, somebody greases the bowl,” Leighton, president of Canadian Women Against Antisemitism, told National Post. “The level of tolerance that this country seems to have adopted in terms of antisemitism is breathtaking.”


Not to minimize your concerns but welcome to my world.

Lament for a lost generation: Young Canadians’ bleak future shames us all

Lament for a lost generation: Young Canadians’ bleak future shames us all

Waves of interns are now making their way to Toronto’s Bay Street. They are easy to spot – young, big smiles, eager to learn and grateful for a taste of economic opportunity. You can see them in smaller cities too, heading to the regional offices of banks, insurance companies, accounting practices, technology businesses, energy organizations, and large consulting outfits. Some have delightful titles such as summer associates.

Interns believe they have a shot at success, sustaining if not surpassing the middle-class lifestyle their parents want for them. Such is, to use the words of Prime Minister Mark Carney from earlier this year, a “pleasant fiction.” For those without parental support, it is a long shot at best.


Apparently mass immigration has nothing to do with nothing!

Ontario Liberal Party stands by results in Scarborough Southwest nomination, as Erskine-Smith weighs options

The Ontario Liberal Party is standing by the results of its nomination contest in Scarborough Southwest as losing candidate Nate Erskine-Smith met with his team to discuss next steps after raising concerns about the race.

On Saturday, Liberal members in the east Toronto riding chose businessman Ahsanul Hafiz as their next provincial candidate in a yet-to-be-announced by-election, beating Mr. Erskine-Smith in a close contest. The nomination was seen as a critical step in Mr. Erskine-Smith’s plan to run for leader of the Ontario Liberal party. He is currently a federal MP for the neighbouring riding of Beaches-East York.


I am lovin it. The pandering pol got what he deserved.

Scott Stinson: Spending scandal at Conestoga College is a reminder of Canada’s shameful international student boom

Scott Stinson: Spending scandal at Conestoga College is a reminder of Canada’s shameful international student boom

For years, the stories of the overseas sacrifices that were made to fuel Ontario’s international student boom have been told.

Families in poor countries that sold their few worldly possessions, sometimes the actual farm, to pay the steep college tuition costs for foreign students in the land of milk and honey. Often, they found the education and opportunity were not at all what they expected.

GUNTER: Canada’s youth employment crushed under Liberal policy

GUNTER: Canada’s youth employment crushed under Liberal policy

The Canadian economy has lost 112,000 jobs just since January. That’s the weakest four-month stretch since the pandemic. The unemployment rate has climbed to 6.9 per cent.

But a closer look at the numbers released Friday by Statistics Canada reveals two even more disturbing trends.

Oh Shut Up.

Oh Shut Up.

Thousands of temporary residents are being squeezed out by Canada’s shifting immigration reality. Here’s what the country could lose

They’ve spent months and years living, studying and working toward the Canadian dream, once touted as the “economic engine” for this country’s post-COVID-19 recovery and future growth.

But after all their toil to build a new life here, their journeys have stalled.

An IT specialist, a special-needs teacher, an engineer with two master’s degrees: They’re among hundreds of thousands of temporary residents who have been left in limbo by Canada’s immigration pivot.


And the latest immigrant Sob Story from CTV – 28 seems a bit “old” for a youth and I doubt he was even born in Canada.

The Media is busy working the immigration scam on behalf of their paymaster.

SEND THEM HOME.

Ottawa will start tracking when temporary residents enter and exit. Perhaps it could consider actual enforcement too?

Ottawa will start tracking when temporary residents enter and exit. Perhaps it could consider actual enforcement too?

The federal government is going to try something new: counting.

Now mind you, this is a pilot project. We don’t want to commit to anything in case we run out of fingers and toes to count with, or if the results are embarrassing. But as confirmed by Immigration Minister Lena Diab during the House of Commons immigration committee meeting Monday, Canada’s government is going to start tracking when temporary residents enter and exit the country. The minister said she expects the program to be fully implemented by the end of the year. After that, Ottawa will decide if it’s something worth doing permanently.

OLDCORN: Ottawa’s new PR fast track proves Canada still has not learned its mass immigration lesson

Ottawa has found another way to make Canada’s immigration system bigger while claiming it is making it smaller.

Immigration Minister Lena Diab announced on Monday that Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will accelerate the processing of permanent residence for up to 33,000 foreign workers already in Canada in 2026 and 2027.

HUNTER: B.C. cops target extortion rackets by naming and shaming

The judiciary, so-called civil society rackets, and the faculty lounge must be sputtering with rage.

Cops in Surrey, B.C. did something utterly counter-intuitive in Canada: They released a slew of mugshots of suspected criminals in the Vancouver suburb’s chaotic extortion rackets.


This is criminal abuse by the Liberal Party.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Medical tourism in the West is considered a luxury: you travel to a place with top-of-the-line doctors who can be seen faster than you’d ever expect at home, undertake a battery of tests more thorough than what’s generally done at home, and receive an assessment more all-encompassing than, again, would be expected at home.

After a decade in power useless layabouts in Ottawa to start tracking which if any temporary foreign residents have left Canada after permits run out

After a decade in power useless layabouts in Ottawa to start tracking which if any temporary foreign residents have left Canada after permits run out

Ottawa is for the first time to track which foreign students and other temporary foreign residents have left the country after their permits to remain in Canada expire, Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab told a committee of MPs on Monday.

Economists have been warning for years that Canada has been dramatically undercounting the number of temporary residents living here by presuming that international students and others leave the country after their permits and visas run out.

There’s a pattern here. Carney puts extremely stupid people in charge of important portfolios knowing they will outright lie if needed. They simply lack the dignity to admit they’re in over their heads.

Ottawa to fast-track permanent residency for up to 33,000 temporary foreign workers

More than 30,000 temporary foreign workers who live in small, remote and rural communities will be able to apply for a fast track to permanent residency, under an initiative announced Monday by Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will accelerate permanent residency, or PR, for up to 33,000 temporary foreign workers in “in-demand sectors” such as agriculture and natural resources, trades and transportation, and health and caregiving.

John Weissenberger: Canada must be more selective in welcoming newcomers

John Weissenberger: Canada must be more selective in welcoming newcomers

Canadians still haven’t really debated immigration’s fundamental questions, like what exactly is it for? Does it merely serve short-term economics or shape our future prosperity and identity? What debate there is reveals both regional divides and ideological anger.

What’s also largely off the radar is our looming demographic collapse. At an average 2024 birthrate of 1.3, without newcomers, Canada’s population could halve by 2100. This invites the question of “To grow or not to grow?” which, unsurprisingly, gets different answers in Quebec and English Canada.

Canada’s youth unemployment ‘a crisis’ as numbers rise

Canada’s youth unemployment ‘a crisis’ as numbers rise

In the wake of the federal government’s spring mini-budget boasting about the resilience of the economy, a new study finds youth unemployment in Canada increased from 10% in 2022 to 13.8% in 2025, the largest three-year increase on record when the economy was not in a recession.

The report by the Fraser Institute says that last year, 437,000 young people between 15 and 24 years of age looked for a job but could not find one, up 57% from 290,000 in 2022.
