“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

It’s OK to ask whether immigration is intensifying our housing crisis

According to Statistics Canada, Canada’s population grew by 1,050,110 people in 2022. International migration accounted for 95.9 per cent of this growth.

Some have questioned whether Canada’s immigration policy is at odds with its efforts to address the housing crisis. Paul Kershaw of UBC has pointed out that newcomers, through no fault of their own, will amplify demand for housing and drive up home prices. CIBC CEO Victor Dodig recently expressed concern that increasing immigration levels without first increasing housing supply risks triggering Canada’s “largest social crisis” over the next decade.

OMG! The Star grabs a clue.

Canada developing new immigration policy to attract French-speaking people, teachers

OTTAWA – The Liberal government says it is developing new policy on francophone immigration as a way to grow the French language in Canada.

Official Languages Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor says it’s an advantage for Canada to have a bilingual workforce and population.

The policy is part of a five-year action plan for official languages the government released today.

Refugees, asylum seekers make up nearly a third of Toronto’s shelter population

Thousands of refugee claimants are in homeless shelters across Toronto, as stays grow longer amid a housing affordability crisis and a lack of federal support for an increasing number of asylum seekers.

According to city data, refugees and asylum seekers accounted for 30 per cent of total occupancy in the municipal shelter system as of March, with average stays reaching four to six months. The pressure on the shelter system has prompted the city’s government to press Ottawa for more funding. And while support for 2023 is included in the recent federal budget, it is not a permanent commitment – as has long been called for.

GTA rents hit record $3,000, creating a ‘very alarming’ situation … Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is paying off BIGLEY for his corporate cronies

Average rents in purpose-built apartments broke the $3,000 barrier for the first time in the first quarter of this year — the sixth straight quarter in which Toronto area rents have seen double-digit year-over-year increases, according to Urbanation.

The situation is “very alarming,” even though rent growth has moderated, said Shaun Hildebrand, president of the market research firm, on Thursday. Rents slowed to 13.8 per cent annual growth in the first quarter from 15 per cent in the final quarter of last year and 17 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. The figures apply to purpose-built apartments constructed since 1985.

La Letrina Norte: Mexicans flee Trudeau’s Crappy Canada

Migrants caught in freezing bog near Manitoba border are from Mexico, officials say

United States officials say at least seven of the nine men caught crossing the border this week from southeast Manitoba are Mexican citizens.

RCMP were first alerted to the group when one of them called 911 early Tuesday suffering from the cold weather.

Policies and promises have done nothing to make housing affordable

Opinion: We also learned last month that Canada’s five biggest banks are helping to keep house listings at record lows.

Back in 2015 and 2016, home prices in Vancouver and Toronto skyrocketed to record highs. Much of the attention was on foreign wealth being parked in real estate. Housewives and students were buying multi-million-dollar homes in Vancouver.

Theo Argitis: Why economists — not politicians — are raising alarms around immigration

… But it’s not just housing. Economists are beginning to see warning signs in another gauge: rising population isn’t coming with a commensurate increase in economic output.

According to data released by the International Monetary Fund last week, Canada’s population growth will help fuel the biggest increase in national income among G7 countries over the next six years, but our economy will also see the smallest increase in GDP per capita.

What Happens When the Darien Gap Is Overrun?

A wave of humanity is starting to tame the jungle by trampling it, and the Biden administration is not prepared.

The most important barrier to illegal entry to the United States is so impassable that only one normal car has ever crossed it. Sixty-two years ago, a Land Rover made the journey. And it took five months to do so, crawling along at just over a tenth of a mile per hour. This barrier is guarded ferociously day and night, with truly deadly sentries who are indifferent to human life. And it’s not even on the American border — it is the no-man’s land that exists between Central and South America, the Darien Gap between Panama and Colombia. It is the only place between Prudhoe Bay in Alaska and Ushuaia, Argentina, the world’s southernmost city on planet Earth, that cannot be driven over.

The new Canada-U.S. border deal will cost Canadian taxpayers 60 Million over ten years

Closing the Canada-U.S. border to asylum seekers is projected to cost Canadian taxpayers at least $60 million over 10 years. But that analysis doesn’t include costs for the Mounties to beef up “challenging” enforcement efforts.

In March, Ottawa and Washington expanded a bilateral agreement to turn back irregular migrants trying to cross into the other country for protection, but a cost-benefit analysis has only been recently published in the Canada Gazette.

Douglas Todd: Federal Liberals are directly inflating house prices

Canadian polls show young adults are drifting away from the federal Liberal party. It seems they’re slowly figuring out that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, despite his sympathetic rhetoric, is working against their dream of buying a first home.

While it’s taken a while for young and old to realize it, top bankers, retired civil servants, housing analysts, former property developers and housing activists are now declaring the Liberals are directly causing house-price inflation.

The retired head of B.C.’s civil service, Don Wright, recently wrote a piece titled, “Will Trudeau make it impossible for Eby to succeed?”

It explained how B.C.’s effort to reduce housing prices and build affordable dwellings “will be largely hostage to the federal government’s immigration policy.”

Wright, an economist, said Trudeau’s government routinely raises the “almost entirely fallacious” argument that Canada has a labour shortage to justify welcoming a record 438,000 new permanent residents in 2022, while adding another 680,000 non-permanent residents, including foreign students and other guest workers.

Using immigration to fill vacant, lower-skilled jobs is not sound economic policy

Ask a Canadian why the government is increasing immigration and more often than not they will tell you: “to grow our economy.” Ask an economist and you’ll rarely get that answer.

Boosting the economic well-being of a population is indeed a worthwhile objective of immigration, but that requires more than simply making the economy bigger.

India’s economy is 60 per cent bigger than Canada’s and Switzerland’s is 60 per cent smaller. Is India’s economy what we are aiming for? Making the economic pie as big as possible is clearly not the objective. What matters is the size of the average slice when the pie is divided by the population.

It’s a great policy if your goal is to treat citizens like shit. Canada’s China Class loves it.

Canada’s housing and immigration policies are at odds

Vicious idiots run Canada

Housing affordability has metastasized from a Toronto and Vancouver problem to a national crisis. Double-digit rent increases have hit traditionally more affordable communities coast to coast, and the cost of home ownership remains persistently high amid rising interest rates. One of the main reasons for the lack of affordability, according to our recent report, is the misalignment between Canada’s different levels of government.

The article is crap, they want your house, they want you poor and desperate to work for any wage.

Biden “No Borders” Wrecking Central America. Only Foreign MSM Will Report

Perfect storm besets ethnic pandering pols…

Mosque officials call on Ford government to combat Islamophobia after ‘shocking’ hate-motivated attack in Markham, Ont.

The Mohammedans are asking Ford to protect them from the spillover into Ontario of the interfaith Hindu-Muslim conflict currently roiling India.

We also have the India-Khalistan conflict to contend with on our shores, several Hindu temples have been vandalized recently.

And the anti-Israel Jihad is now mainstream in “polite circles.”

And don’t forget the problems with our Communist China sympathizers.

Ain’t multiculturalism grand?

Canada has been reduced to a balkanized state of multiple 5th Columns.

Thank the Uniparty.
