“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

The Trudeau government doesn’t care about rural Canada

KAMOURASKA, QUE.—The summer is almost over, and with it, the massive retreat of urban visitors from the rural areas that are Canada’s summer playgrounds. I see them from June until now on the Trans-Canada Highway nearby, the Ontario licence plates speeding east to Atlantic Canada, or returning back. They may be tourists who decided to pass on Maine or Massachusetts this year, or they are folks from “down home” visiting family and friends before returning “upalong.”

This is self evident in light of the housing crisis Trudeau’s liberal party created and its “effort” to solve it.

The Liberals will not back down on their mass immigration scam which according to their top thinkers will make everyone richer by making everyone poorer.

They know mass immigration will continue to drive up the cost of rent and home ownership.

They also know that no magic wand exists to create new housing and it will be many years before supply meets demand.

The increase in costs is naturally higher in urban centres that attract the most immigrants.

Unfortunately demand is so great the increase in housing costs has spread far beyond urban borders and now small towns feel the same pressures city dwellers do.

However the large urban centres like The GTA and Montreal also happen to be Liberal Party strongholds.

Strongholds they’ll need in order to form yet another minority government with Sell-Out Singh.

Do you think the Liberals are going to trash the Home Equity their most consistent supporters have accrued?

Me neither.

The Liberals broke the education visa system, but they had lots of help

 

Over the last two decades, the number of foreign students studying in Canada has increased almost sevenfold, to more than 800,000. The jump has been particularly sharp in recent years. At the end of 2022, there were nearly half a million more visa students than in 2015.

At first blush, this sounds like a success story: Canadian higher education must be so outstanding that record numbers from around the world are lining up to pay university and college tuitions several times higher than those for Canadian students.

I wonder which Liberal palms are being greased?

Liberals created conditions for housing chaos but blame everyone but themselves.

Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser

Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.

“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.

 

This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.

Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.

11 injured at Eritrean event in Edmonton

About a dozen people were hurt at an Eritrean-themed event in Edmonton on Saturday during a clash with a group who said they were protesting the Eritrean government.

Edmonton Police Service monitored the group of protesters all day as they moved across the city in the shadow of the festival, sometimes in riot gear while controlling the crowds. Police read more than once what’s colloquially known as the riot act.

Lambros Kyriakakos, the chairman of the Coalition of Eritrean Canadian Communities and Organizations, said he helped organize the annual Eritrean community festival that draws people from across western Canada.

Canada’s progressive parties have lost the plot on the housing crisis

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tries to pretend the high cost of housing isn’t a federal problem, Pierre Poilievre won’t stop talking about it. His description two months ago of a postwar Niagara house as an overpriced “tiny shack” may have been pretty tone-deaf for a politician who lives in a multimillion-dollar publicly funded home, but the Conservative Leader hit pay dirt last week with a heartwarming story of how he lived as a student with his single father near a Calgary rapid transit station. He called for politicians to get serious about affordability for single parents, students, seniors and others in housing need, by getting many more new high-rise apartments approved by municipalities near federally funded public transit.

Mr. Poilievre is absolutely right on many of these counts – and also dead wrong on others.

Something to consider … The Liberal’s Mass immigration scam will cushion the decline if not further inflate real estate values. It’s a cyncial election strategy but protecting voter home equity by inundating cities with migrants might work given urban centre’s are LPC strongholds.

Want to ease Canada’s housing crisis? Let’s start by being responsible about international student visas

Desperate calls by schools to urge local homeowners to rent out their rooms; students paying $650 a month to live three-to-a room in college towns boasting monthly rents upward of $2,000; a viral TikTok video purports to show an international student living under a bridge in Scarborough, Ont.

Housing is a complicated issue. It will take co-ordination, cash, and time to fix. But in the short term, there is at least one glaringly obvious – if surely controversial – way to help ease the challenge of finding affordable rental accommodation: We need to stop issuing so many international student visas.

The Liberals have broken Canada’s immigration system

… the Liberal government has gone to extraordinary lengths to give employers a nearly unlimited supply of low-wage workers, with many of those now arriving via the education visa stream. Those visas used to be entirely about education, but many schools now appear to be partly or even mostly peddling something else, namely the opportunity to reside and work in Canada, usually in a low-wage job.

Canada’s immigration system used to be the envy of the world.

Note my use of the past tense.

To appreciate what was good about Canada’s previous immigration strategy – the one followed until recently through governments Progressive Conservative, Conservative and Liberal – contrast it with the dysfunction of our friends down south.

HATE THE LIBERALS.

Housing crisis: Trudeau doubles down on destroying dreams of a generation too poor to rent or own homes vows no change to cruel mass immigration scam

The alarm bells are becoming bull horns: Canada’s housing supply isn’t keeping up with the rapid rate of population growth.

Academics, commercial banks and policy thinkers have all been warning the federal government that the pace of population growth, facilitated by immigration, is making the housing crisis worse.

“The primary cause for (the) housing affordability challenge in Canada is our inability to build more housing that is in line with the increase in population,” said Murtaza Haider, a professor of data science and real estate management at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Two years after Kabul’s fall, Ottawa considering expansion of Afghan carpenter immigration program

Afghan Coffin Makers

Following months of pressure from refugee advocacy groups and opposition parties, the federal government says it is thinking about increasing the number of Afghans it can bring to Canada.

“It’s safe to say publicly that we will show some flexibility,” said Immigration Minister Marc Miller, referring to the goal the Liberal Party set during the last federal election campaign of bringing 40,000 Afghan refugees to Canada.

“There is some uncertainty in the number of people obviously that assisted Canada and clearly what their family members, who their family members are, and the level of risk that those people face in that country. And it’s not like Canada will hit a number and walk away from the table.”

Surge of refugee claimants overwhelming some Ottawa shelters

Ottawa homeless shelters are seeing a surge of asylum seekers showing up at their doors, raising fears that the refugee housing crisis overwhelming Toronto shelters could be spreading to the capital.

Peter Tilley, CEO of the Ottawa Mission, said a record number of migrants have come to the shelter on Waller Street in recent weeks.

Tilley was “floored” when he saw the data. Of 228 new intakes at the shelter since the beginning of June, 87 were newcomers. He said most of those were refugee claimants.

Cities should send them all to Ottawa.

Colby Cosh: Nonsense for Trudeau to open immigration, but not the economy

This week, the Wall Street Journal, a strong candidate for “best newspaper in the English-speaking world,” became the latest news outlet to lift a questioning eyebrow at Canadian immigration policy. WSJ’s superb Ottawa reporter Paul Vieira gestures, for the benefit of his paper’s international audience, at facts most of our readers already know well. Inflexible, highly regulated parts of the economy like housing, medicine and transport are screaming under the burden of immigration levels with few precedents anywhere — levels the Liberal government has done nothing but increase.

‘Operation Jagdakommando’: U.S. agency’s airborne northern-border migration sweep

WASHINGTON – U.S. Customs and Border Protection is saying little about an operation earlier this year that used helicopters and a fixed-wing airplane to round up 124 people in the vicinity of the Canada-U.S. border.

That’s despite the fact it publicized the sweep, dubbed “Operation Jagdakommando,” in a July 20 news release that described it as a response to “unprecedented illicit cross-border activity” in the Northern U.S.

The release said personnel from CBP’s air and marine units in Detroit and Washington state also took part in the multi-jurisdictional “surge operation,” which was led by the U.S. Border Patrol.

When it comes to immigration levels, temporary permits are the elephant in the room

With pressure mounting to rethink Canada’s immigration policies, it’s no surprise to see a new minister, Marc Miller, take charge of the portfolio. Over recent months, we have seen an increasing number of articles, studies and reports warning that the rapid rise in population is stretching housing and health services and that the current immigration levels might be too high. More voices are calling for a course correction or restoring balance in Canada’s immigration policy.

Blamed for affordability crisis, Liberals promise to do more of nothing of any use

Blamed for affordability crisis, Liberals look to pivot on housing

OTTAWA – Chris Burke and his fiancée have been less than a year away from buying their first home for the past three years.

Saving for a down payment was the first challenge. Now, rising interest rates have kicked home ownership down the road again, stalling the couple’s plans to get married and have children.

“Any gains we make towards purchasing a house, we’re watching the goalposts move further and further away,” the 31-year-old Ottawa resident said.
