Seven years of foolish Liberal immigration policy is cratering housing, health care and the middle class in the country’s two largest cities, Toronto and Vancouver. A new report by CIBC Capital Markets reveals that the overly rapid immigration problem is much more serious than most people realized.
… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is reducing the living standards of Canadians while at the same time attacking the country’s economic base and resource industries.
A whopping 36 per cent of the condos in Toronto are owned by investors, according to a new report published by Statistics Canada via the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.
In some smaller markets, investors account for well over 80 per cent of condo ownership, and across Ontario overall, almost 42 per cent are owned by investors.
The report defines an investor as someone who owns at least one residential property that is not used as their primary place of residence. The data is pulled from early 2020, before the pandemic feeding frenzy hit and prices shot up by more than 50 per cent across the country as interest rates reached historic lows.
This is the result of Trudeau’s immigration policy. Immigrants park their money here to make a profit consequently driving up home prices and making Canada too expensive for Canadians to live in. Then they move on, that’s all they contribute. See Below.
Mayor Eric Adams came under fire Monday from a top Republican member of Congress who accused him of helping migrants illegally leave New York for Canada in violation of US law.
US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) of Glens Falls blasted the mayor following an exclusive NY Post report that revealed how migrants got free bus tickets to upstate Plattsburgh, then walked into Canada at an unofficial border crossing 20 miles north.
“New Yorkers deserve answers for why their taxpayer dollars are being spent to help illegal immigrants violate their parole and escape the law,” said the No. 4 House Republican, whose district covers Plattsburgh and the Roxham Road crossing into Canada.
Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple’s crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The Post has learned.
National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to migrants who want to head upstate before crossing into Canada, several migrants said.
Venezuelan native Raymond Peña and his family arrived at a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, NY — about 20 miles south of the Canadian border — at 4 a.m. Sunday.

Immigration is not just a major concern among the people of the U.S. We tend to forget that cities in Europe have also seen major influxes of migrants from across the world, including Germany and now Ireland. The country has seen a large influx of migrants from Ukraine and other countries, and not everyone in the country is happy about it. Now, it appears Ireland’s leaders want to quell dissenting opinions.
IRELAND – Dublin protests at the influx of migrants taking all available housing and council accommodation. Their politicians say migrants are welcome….
…They just didn’t bother asking the people.

Global management consulting giant McKinsey and Company says its contracts with the federal government make up as much as 10 per cent of its gross revenue in Canada.
The Canadian revenue figures for McKinsey’s Canadian operations, contained in a U.S. court filing, show how integral federal government contracts are to the New York-based firm, which has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.
Ex-McKinsey Chief Dominic Barton has had an insidious influence on Canada’s immigration policy which now serves corporate greed exclusively.
Freeland lets us in on her and Junior’s cozy relationship with Barton.

The federal government has been touting the record numbers of immigrants arriving in Canada, but the over 431,000 it cites is in fact less than half the number of newcomers who came to the country last year.
Once combined with non-permanent residents, the number of newcomers in 2022 amounted to an estimated 955,000, which represents “an unprecedented swing in housing demand in a single year that is currently not fully reflected in official figures,” according to a Jan. 25 CIBC report.
The number of new international arrivals in 2023 could reach a million, the report said.
Most likely voters support the prospect of individual governors asking citizen volunteers to defend the southern border, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released Wednesday found.
The survey asked respondents, “If your state Governor asked for citizens to volunteer to help defend the Southern Border, would you support that Governor?”
The Beatles first visited the United States in 1964. They were the tip of the spear of the so-called British Invasion, the first of several pop groups to take America by storm. Fifty years later, Britain would export another boy band also named the Beatles. However, instead of touring the United States, they travelled to Syria, where they beheaded journalists and aid workers in cold blood. You could not invent a better signifier of British decline.
This cultural transformation does not reflect British hearts and minds. As a nation, we weren’t persuaded by fist-banging muftis or gun-toting clerics. On the contrary, the shift in our society has been imposed from the outside. A cocktail of involuntary impositions, mass legal and illegal migration, a Pravda programme of censorship, and the cowardice of our leaders have rendered swathes of British society unrecognisable. In this regard we stand apart from our European neighbours for our exceptional naïveté. We all know of Jihadi John, but as the Italian comic Nicholas De Santo remarked “nobody has ever heard of jihadi Pavarotti.”
The federal government has spent almost $94-million since the last election booking entire hotels for months to accommodate an influx of asylum seekers entering Canada, according to an access-to-information request.
Since September, 2021, the Immigration Department has paid $93,886,222 for “long leases” with hotels, mostly in Quebec, setting them aside for asylum seekers, including those entering the country through the irregular border crossing at Quebec’s Roxham Road.
The department booked 30 hotels between April and December last year – 10 in Montreal alone, according to a redacted response to the access-to-information request.
My sister-in-law, a nurse on Cape Cod, wants to visit New York City and is struggling to find an affordable hotel.
If she were a Venezuelan migrant who’d just arrived in the Big Apple on a bus from the southern border, she’d have a shot at a room at the four-star Row, steps from Times Square. Or a room at a SpringHill Suites by Marriott, a Holiday Express or a Comfort Inn. Free of charge.
Welcome to Hotel America! Newly arriving migrants are also getting three meals a day courtesy of room service, snacks at any time — and, at some hotels, computer facilities and playrooms for the kids. All paid for by local taxpayers.
An Arizona county official spoke out on the difficulty of enforcing the southern border shared with Mexico as cartel trafficking operations intensify.
Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines told Fox News: ‘The cartels are basically running this border.’
He added: ‘This is not a political discussion. This is a national security issue.’
OTTAWA – Quebec is taking a dwindling share of Canada’s new immigrants, and significantly less than its proportional national share, as it maintains tight caps on newcomers, even as the Trudeau government continues to open the floodgates to more immigration nationally.
… But Quebec brought in 68,820 people, roughly 15.7 per cent of the immigrants to Canada, despite the province representing nearly 23 per cent of Canada’s population.
By contrast, Ontario took 184,000 newcomers in 2022, 42 per cent of the total who came to Canada, even though Ontario represents 38 per cent of Canada’s population. And British Columbia welcomed more than 61,000 people, almost as many as Quebec did, despite B.C. having a population that is 3.5-million people fewer than Quebec.
The government is never your friend but in Canada they are an outright enemy. Canada’s immigration policy is designed to benefit the Corporate class.
That you and your family may suffer due to shortages in housing, medical care and economic insecurity is brushed aside assuming it was even taken into consideration.
Our mainstream political parties, the LPC, CPC and NDP are all in on the scam hoping to harvest ethnic vote blocs.
The Liberals outsourced Canada’s immigration policy to Dominic Barton and McKinsey & Company.
They just don’t care about you or the havoc mass immigration has on our society.
Quebec noticed. Good for them.
Zeihan’s comments on Canadian immigration are interesting, basically we’re probably fecked.
