Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is adding $42 million in funding to a portable housing benefit, with more than half going to the city of Toronto, which is struggling to accommodate a rise in refugee and asylum claimants.
The premier says the money through the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit will help about 4,000 new households, going toward moving more people into housing and freeing up shelter space.

Months before officials in New York City allowed migrants to displace students in public schools, or officials in Chicago turned O’Hare International Airport into a refugee center, the former general counsel for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services made a frightening prediction about illegal immigration.
“This is going to be a catastrophe for our health-care system, our criminal justice system, our educational system,” Elizabeth Yore said in December. “We’re not going to recognize our society in two years. The crime and the chaos in the schools is going to be unimaginable. We are going to be paying for this for decades, generations.”
As the reality of unprecedented enrolment growth hits schools this month, students and teachers are facing overcrowded classrooms and learning spaces spilling into hallways, libraries, gyms and staff rooms.
The province has argued it is funding for growth, even as more than 7,000 new students arrive at Calgary’s public schools this fall, on top of last year’s 5,000.

Canada has no chance of building the additional millions of homes Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. projects would be needed to restore housing affordability over the next seven years, according to the chief economist of Desjardins Group.
Speaking at a panel on the current housing market crisis hosted by the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Sept. 12, Desjardins’ Jimmy Jean said it took “not seven years, not 10 years, not 15 years, but 30 years” to build the last 5.8 million homes in Canada.
This issue alone should kill Trudeau but Canada is a pretty messed up Banana republic.
I doubt his base will abandon Junior and all he needs is a good showing by the NDP to remain in power.
The “Affordability issue” may be tamped down if home owner equity is protected by the ongoing shortage. This will be especially true of eastern urban centres, traditional LPC strongholds. People vote with their wallets.
Do not expect significantly lowered immigration targets, the emerging narrative is to caution against blaming “immigrants” when a made in Canada “housing crisis” is really to blame.
The narrative implies that criticism of an extraordinarily callous mass immigration policy that stresses all of Canada’s infrastructure to the breaking point is criticism of immigrants and of course that’s racist.
In short the same old same old – Canadian citizens are labeled racist whenever they attempt to stand up for their own best interests against the UNIPARTY and their corporate cronies.
This program aims to attract startups to Canada. Critics say it’s being used as ‘a backdoor way into the country’
They come from every corner of the world with big dreams and ideas, looking for a base and investment capital to plant the seeds of their startup enterprises — and potential permanent residence in Canada.
So much is at stake for their success — and for Canada’s Start-Up Visa (SUV) immigration program, which gives these entrepreneurs a pathway for permanent residence by harnessing their business innovations and brilliance.
… The 3.45 million new units across the country would be in addition to the 1.68 million that are expected to be built by 2030 if the pace of construction remains the same. That would amount to a total of 5.2-million new housing units and comes as the federal government has faced increased criticism for ramping up immigration targets without an apparent consideration for housing needs.
That ain’t gonna happen.
Canada still needs another 3.5 million housing units by 2030 on top of what it’s on track to build by that point, a new report says.
But an economist for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC), which authored the report, says this goal may not even be attainable.
Canada’s Immigration Boom May Be Ending, Permanent Resident Applications Plummet
Canada’s recent population boom seems like it’ll last forever, but reality may arrive soon. Government of Canada (GoC) data reveals a sharp drop in permanent resident applications in July. The direct impact on population growth is minor, since temporary residents drive growth. However, continuing to attract temporary residents will be difficult once they encounter the conditions turning people away.
There has been an ongoing years long decline in the number of permanent resident applicants. Trudeau’s incompetence is turning Canada into a shithole state.
Rye Lane in south London’s Peckham is a lively place day and night, but yesterday evening the atmosphere was distinctly ugly. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside a store to protest about a shopkeeper’s treatment of a customer, who was accused of theft. A viral video, filmed inside Peckham Hair and Cosmetics on Monday, shows why they are angry: a black woman is seen being manhandled by an Asian employee.

… “Toronto has time and time again begged for some crumbs,” Chow said. “I met with the minister, I pled my case about refugees and they’re thinking about it.”
Miller pointed out Tuesday the absence of the Ford government at the meeting, adding that the province has a role to play as well.
“They’re sitting on billions of dollars, that is just a fact, and they can certainly deploy that to the city of Toronto and the surrounding areas,” the minister said
More than half of Canadians want the federal government to accept fewer immigrants than it is planning for in 2023, a new poll shows – a rise from one in three in March.
The poll also found that 55 per cent of Canadians want Canada to accept fewer international students than the 900,000 expected by the government this year.
A Nanos poll for The Globe and Mail found a rise of almost 20 percentage points in the past six months in the number of Canadians who think this country should accept fewer immigrants than Ottawa’s 2023 target of 465,000.
Canada’s housing minister says the government is open to revising its immigration targets amid unprecedented strains on the country’s housing market.
One avenue to alleviate housing pressures could be through reducing the surging number of international student visas, said Sean Fraser, who previously served as immigration minister.
The pain inflicted on many Canadians by the out-of-control housing market has escalated to new levels, as has the desire to pin the blame on someone.
At the top of that list, according to a recent Leger poll, is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. When asked which level of government should be assigned the most blame when it comes to housing, 40 per cent of those surveyed pointed at Ottawa; 32 per cent blamed their provincial leaders; 22 per cent weren’t sure who was at fault; only 6 per cent called out their local city council.
There would be no housing shortage had Trudeau not callously opened the immigration floodgates.
The media narrative however is to gloss over the role of mass immigration in this fiasco to protect the interests of the Corporate class.
Is Canada underestimating the cost of living for international students?
The Canadian government is likely severely underestimating the cost of living for international students when weighing if they can support themselves financially, a new survey suggests.
According to a recent survey by the Daily Bread food bank, which was released on Wednesday, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s estimated living expense used during the application process is nearly half of what a student in Toronto typically spends.
It’s just another leg of Trudeau’s mass immigration scam.
This is turning out to be a week of surprises from the lovin’ Left. I cannot think what’s gotten into them.
First it’s Mayor Eric “The Glitz” Adams, flat-out telling the world that the influx of mostly non-English speaking brown people was going to “destroy New York City.” He wasn’t feeling like rapping this sad song.
Minister, advocates say they fear international students will be blamed for housing crisis
Immigration Minister Marc Miller and student advocates across the country say they worry about immigrants and international students being singled out for blame because of the housing crisis.
“It’s one of my fears,” Miller said in a recent interview with CBC News. “I do worry about the stigmatization of particularly people of diversity that come to this country to make it better, and that includes international students.”
So why did you invite so many Miller? Everyone knows the foreign student scam is just a way to purchase Canadian citizenship.
