There was a time when young people in this country outearned retirement-aged Canadians. That time was long ago, and after a brief respite during the pandemic, the generational gap is widening once again.
On Wednesday Statistics Canada released its income survey of Canadians for 2024, revealing that the median aftertax income for Canadian households was $75,500 that year, more or less flat compared to 2023 after adjusting for inflation.
‘Denial of care’: Doctors worry about refugees as payment requirements take effect
Refugees now have to pay out of pocket for part of their drug prescriptions, mental health counselling, dental services, vision care and health equipment — including wheelchairs — as changes to a federal program take effect.
For decades, Canada’s Interim Federal Health Program has provided complete health coverage to refugees and refugee claimants until they are eligible for provincial health plans and benefits.
But starting Friday, they must pay $4 for every prescription and 30 per cent of the cost of supplemental health products and services.
Remigration is the answer.
Be nice if our medicos cared as much for citizens.
Progressive Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a bad habit of saying what “sounds kind” in the moment, while leaving taxpayers to deal with the real cost later.
His latest comments on temporary foreign workers are a perfect example.
At a press conference in Brampton, Ford said he wished he could “snap his fingers” and let temporary workers stay in Ontario.
The nuisance Brampton protesters pressured Doug Ford about extending their work permits.
His response? "These hard-working people are here to contribute to the community and have been trained in certain areas and I can tell you that your employers want you to stay."

For decades, discussions surrounding mass immigration into Western nations have largely been confined to two unproductive viewpoints. One perspective, which views culture as a superficial element and asserts the fundamental similarity of all human beings, suggests that immigrants primarily require sufficient time and opportunities to integrate. Conversely, the other attributes assimilation challenges to cultural values, patriarchal attitudes, or religious conservatism. Both approaches, however, exhibit an intellectual reluctance to delve deeper. What remains conspicuously absent from the prevailing discourse is an understanding rooted in developmental psychology and civilization theory. This framework offers significant explanatory power while avoiding genetic determinism and simplistic cultural explanations, yet it still presents genuinely uncomfortable truths.
Canada urged to open up new permanent resident program to all temporary workers
With so many temporary residents running out of legal status this year, Ottawa has been urged to immediately release details on an announced program that’s meant to grant permanent status to migrant workers in limbo — and make sure the process is fair and inclusive.
Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab has been in the hot seat, accused of failing to promptly and properly communicate about the highly anticipated program to transition temporary foreign workers with expiring permits to permanent residence.

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.
… Conventional wisdom tells us that immigration is always good for the economy. But countries such as Britain and Germany have recently managed to combine historic levels of immigration with stagnant growth. The Econ 101 crowd may be sticking to a textbook that is badly out of date. But one point is clear: If you are going to slash the number of migrants, you need to make sure your existing population is working as hard as possible.
Canada is as bad as England or Germany. The Liberal party has lied about the economic benefit of mass immigration by focusing on GDP as opposed to GDP per capita which is a truer measure of a nation’s wealth.
The LPC like their Democrat counterparts criminally exploited Canada’s immigration policy to line their pockets and skew voter demographics in their favour.
Will net zero migration make us all poorer? If you believe the latest “analysis” by Oxford Economics, it “risks blowing a £700bn hole in the economy by 2026”.
In an echo of the Brexit campaign, the report is being used to challenge Reform’s plans to transform the British immigration system, reverse the post-Covid migration wave and end Indefinite Leave to Remain. Unfortunately for open-borders advocates, the analysis doesn’t add up.
One very obvious weakness is that it is solely concerned with GDP, rather than GDP per capita. The difference is that GDP measures the size of the whole economy, whereas GDP per capita tells us the average economic output per person. Per capita is a much better measure of how rich a country and its people are.
The Bishnoi gang may not be the only criminal organization involved in extortion crimes in Canada, according to a new federal report.
The report, from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), also states that international students from India facing financial pressure are being used as “money mules” in extortion crimes.
I bet LPC fingers are to be found in this criminal pie. The LPC have turned immigration into a crime syndicate.
Federal figures show Ottawa spent more than $43 million last year providing health care benefits to illegal immigrants and rejected refugee claimants, fuelling criticism from Conservatives who say taxpayers are footing the bill for services many Canadians struggle to access.
Blacklock’s Reporter says data released by the Department of Immigration indicates 19,771 individuals whose asylum claims were denied still accessed coverage through the Interim Federal Health Program, including prescriptions, clinical care and transportation to medical appointments.
Jean Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints (1973) is easily one of the most suppressed books of the 20th century. That’s because it’s a dystopian novel about mass third-world migration, a topic still considered taboo to many. While The Handmaid’s Tale and Nineteen Eighty-Four have become regular headliners of “banned book” campaigns and subjects of novel studies in school curriculums, English translations of Raspail’s magnum opus have been so hard to find that used hard copies sold for prices ranging into the hundreds. Until just last year, that is.
Canada has long consoled itself with a particular self-image, that, whatever its economic shortcomings, it remains a magnet for the world’s talent. People want to come here. The numbers back that up. But a harder question is beginning to surface in the data, not how many people arrive, but how many stay—and whether the ones who leave are the ones Canada can afford to lose.
I recently documented Canada’s net emigration and the disproportionate loss of high-earning, highly educated Canadians, particularly to the United States—the entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and financiers whose economic contributions far exceed their numbers.
That finding tells only half the story. The other half is what is happening on the immigration intake side of Canada’s human capital equation, and it points in the same troubling direction.
An Indian-born man who “absconded” from Canada the day after an Ontario jury convicted him of sexual assault and extortion has been sentenced in absentia to seven years in prison.
The offender, identified only as H.B. in a recent decision from Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice, was in an intimate partner relationship with his victim, who is described as a “new Canadian” who is also from India.
OTTAWA — Immigration officials submitted a plan of action to House of Commons committee on Monday, following an auditor general’s report that highlighted serious integrity controls in the international student visa program last month.
Part of that is ensuring voluntary compliance by student visa holders.
At an overseas education consultancy in the Indian capital, Delhi, students sit with their parents, flipping through brochures from universities in Italy, Germany and Australia.
But one destination, once the top choice, is now largely absent.
“Until 2023, most of our applications were for Canada,” says Shobhit Anand, who runs the consultancy, which helps students navigate the admission process, including visa applications.
Now, he says they have seen a drop of nearly 80%.
