OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration system is broken, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre charged Tuesday, as he sidestepped questions about whether he would change current targets.
Appearing before reporters on Parliament Hill, Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent comments on housing and pledged to speed up entry for immigrants skilled in the building trades.
Hundreds of migrants have been sleeping outside of Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel for a second day in a row – as NYC Mayor Eric Adams said the crisis is ‘not over.’
Swathes of asylum seekers, hailing from a number of South American and African countries, lined the streets sleeping on cardboard overnight because the migrant hotel has reached capacity.
‘I want a better life,’ one migrant told DailyMail.com from the queue outside the chaotic migrant epicenter on Tuesday morning.
The Roosevelt Hotel NYC
100s of migrants are sleeping outside of the hotel due to no more rooms at the hotel. Some have been out here since 10 am . This is extremely dangerous, and NYC can't handle this migrant crisis.

There are simply not enough affordable places for people to live across Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday during an housing announcement in Hamilton, where he promised the federal government would work to scale up supply.
Mr. Trudeau stood alongside Mayor Andrea Horwath in Hamilton to announce a joint plan to build and repair 214 homes in the city, with Ottawa spending $45-million for four projects. The City of Hamilton will contribute $19.1-million.
“Today is about increasing housing supply,” Mr. Trudeau said. “I will be blunt as well: Housing isn’t a primary federal responsibility. It’s not something we have direct carriage of. But it is something that we can and must help with.”
What a shit.
‘It is unacceptable in a country like Canada,’ Trudeau says of asylum-seekers sleeping on Toronto streets
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is “unacceptable” that asylum-seekers were forced to camp out on Toronto streets when they were turned away from the city’s overwhelmed shelter system last month and is vowing to be “part of the mix” when it comes to solving the crisis.
Last week, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow renewed her call for the federal government to come up with long-term solutions for refugees coming to Toronto. She said the $97 million in funding that recently came from Ottawa is not enough to deal with the shelter space shortage.
“Unacceptable in a country like Canada?” You made Canada a shithole Junior.
When will be rid of this puke?
In last week’s cabinet shuffle, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promoted Sean Fraser, one of his government’s rising stars, from immigration to housing. His job in this new portfolio is to fix the problem he contributed to in his old one.
Mr. Fraser must find a way to ease this country’s critical housing shortage, a problem the Liberal government is stoking by bringing in more than a million newcomers a year to Canada.
High levels of immigration bring growth, energy and confidence to our country. But they also bring problems. Mr. Fraser must fix the worst problem of all, or risk undermining the Canadian experiment.
Immigration benefits no one save the Corporate and permanent political class, they love importing new slaves.
A smaller piece of the pie is all you’ll get for your labours meanwhile Trudeau and his cronies will line their pockets.
Reduced wages, shortages of housing, overwhelmed education, public tranit, healthcare and a fragmented low trust society are features not bugs.
They want you poor and afraid.
The guy who cut my hair last week taught me something about the Temporary Foreign Worker program: It’s even looser than I thought.
Fixing that, and a number of other things that aren’t quite right about the immigration system, comes down to the Trudeau government. So, don’t hold your breath.
After Sean Fraser was shuffled from Immigration Minister to Housing Minister on Wednesday, he said Canada can’t “close the door on newcomers.” As if that’s what the government’s critics are calling for. Is it possible for Canadians to discuss a serious economic issue, seriously? Or is polarizing name-calling all that our politics has left?
The TFW is a worse scam now than under Harper.
A mysterious cellphone, cryptic instructions and an interrupted smuggling run of 14 Indian nationals
U.S. Border Patrol agents recently disrupted an attempted smuggling run moving 14 Indian nationals from Canada into the U.S. across the Quebec-New York State border, court records show.
This was one of the largest interceptions of Indian nationals by the U.S. Border Patrol in a single smuggling event over the past three years along this area of the Canada-U.S. border, according to U.S. federal court records.
While health care is the primary concern of Canadians save for the rising cost of living, according to an Abacus Data poll released Wednesday, the issue appeared to get short shrift in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle.
What would you expect from a system already stressed prior to the criminally negligent import of millions of migrants?
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fueled economic growth and plugged gaps in the labor market by ramping up immigration, but now new arrivals are straining public services and contributing to an overheating economy, economists say.
Since taking power in 2015, Trudeau has brought in an estimated 2.5 million new permanent residents, driving the population above 40 million.
Trudeau is deliberately changing the nations demographic. He hates Canada.
If Canada’s population boom continues at its current frantic pace, interest rates will face upward pressure and the massive influx of people will significantly worsen affordability for homebuyers and renters, a new report from TD Bank warns.
And the bank’s economists are calling on the federal government to restore “balance” to its immigration policies.
That rapid growth has helped employers fill job openings and propelled Canada to become the fastest growing economy in the G7, but it is also causing “dislocations in other segments of the economy,” including the housing market, health care, social services and infrastructure, that threaten to undo the benefits, the report’s authors warn.
It’s pretty bad when even the porkers of Canada’s corporate class are saying STOP.
People can’t afford rent never mind even dream of owning a home but Trudeau always has money for Corpoarate welfare cases if it “advances” his green-scam.
… Hejazi, who recently wrote a book about Canada’s slouching prosperity, agreed and added that government protectionism of the country’s biggest industries is another leading factor: “Companies are only as productive as they need to be,” he said — by shutting down competition, Canada is “killing innovation” as companies grow complacent.
“If you look at the three major industries in Canada: Telecom, air transportation and finance — I can go further and say dairy and even grocery — all of these industries are extensively protected from competition,” Hejazi said. As a result, these companies “don’t need to move the needle” in order to pull in profits.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Justice Department on Monday sued Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over a newly installed floating barrier on the Rio Grande that is the Republican’s latest aggressive tactic to try to stop migrants from crossing into the U.S. from Mexico.
The lawsuit asks a federal judge in Austin to force Texas to remove a roughly 1,000-foot (305-meter) line of bright orange, wrecking ball-sized buoys that the Biden administration says raises humanitarian and environmental concerns. The suit claims that Texas unlawfully installed the barrier without permission between the border cities of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to increase immigration to unprecedented levels is damaging Canada’s health-care system.
The numbers reveal the problem. Last year, Canada welcomed 492,984 new immigrants, all of whom will eventually be issued health cards, entitling them to medical benefits for life. This year, another 465,000 immigrants are set to arrive, plus another 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been making a public relations push to tell illegal aliens not to come to the sanctuary city formerly known as the Big Apple. He’s gone as far as to distribute leaflets to newly arrived immigrants suggesting they take their residency elsewhere. This is odd, considering the fact that so many of New York’s original residents have high-tailed it to red states. There should be enough room for anyone obtuse enough to actually want to move to NYC.
In 2014, Justin Trudeau wrote an op-ed arguing that the Stephen Harper government should dramatically scale back the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program.
His reasoning was sound – both in moral terms and in economic terms. He wrote: “I believe it is wrong for Canada to follow the path of countries who exploit large numbers of guest workers.” He also pointed out that large numbers of TFWs “drives down wages.”
We might have expected, therefore, that things would change under his leadership. And indeed, they have. Between 2015 and 2022 the number of TFWs in Canada doubled!
The TFW program was reviled even by the press when its toxic excesses were revealed during Harper’s government.
It says something about our news media and Canada’s so called “opposition parties” that a problem can get worse and receive less attention.
