Ottawa has awarded 23 contracts to McKinsey & Company since 2015 with a total value of $101.4-million, federal officials say – a figure that is significantly higher than what has previously been revealed.
Public Services and Procurement Canada has released a statement with a new summary of federal spending with the New York-based consulting firm, just ahead of a House of Commons committee meeting Wednesday in which MPs will debate plans to hold hearings into government contracts with the company.
The money is secondary to the influence they exerted on immigration policy.
How did it come to be that silence regarding Anglo-European Canadians became the law of the land?
… Breaking down 2021 federal election results highlights the “strength of the Liberals and NDP in visible minority majority urban ridings and the relative strength of the Conservatives in ridings with between five and twenty percent visible minorities.”
A new report from the National Opinion Centre has delivered a rarity among immigration-related communications in Canada. Among other vital statistics related to Canadian demography, the following statement speaks to the impact of immigration intake in Canada:
“The number of ridings in which visible minorities form a majority of the population has increased from one in ten (33) in 2011 to close to one in six (51), reflecting high and increasing levels of immigration.”
If the “racialized” don’t vote Conservative why does Poilievre’s CPC support mass immigration like Justin and Singh?
Peter Zeihan: Canada’s 5 Problems – Worth a watch, basically our immigration policy is fecked. Kinda funny too.
Below – This dates from 2019 but holds true. No one needs Canada all that much, especially the US – The Cutting Room Files, Part 3: The Future of Canada
… Mexico’s market is growing. Yours is not. Your market is protected. Mexico’s is not. The Mexican labor force is complementary to ours. Yours is not. We have a deal with the country that matters, and that isn’t you. We are leaving NAFTA. You know our terms. Take them or leave them. We are moving on.
In a single searing moment of revelation, everything that had guaranteed Canada leverage over America, everything that granted Canada a place in the world, everything that had generated any meaningful international influence, had evaporated. Canada capitulated within days and signed on for NAFTA2.
Safe Third Country Agreement is ‘working’ despite surge in irregular crossings: minister
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) is “working,” despite the massive increase in migrants using unofficial border crossings last year compared to previous years.
Mendicino told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday, Canadian officials and their American counterparts continue to work together to modernize the agreement. Still, he insists the system is functioning.
… Crucially: Whereas our political classes routinely invoke economic rationale to make their desire for continuous migration seem neutral and necessary, they simply ignore the evidence that it reduces social trust. We cannot but conclude that, to them, social trust is not a good to be preserved. Indeed, economic determinism is often used to obscure social agendas and pretend non-economic goods like social trust are imprecise or ‘fuzzy’ categories.
The above social-scientific findings correspond to what the Amazon-owned Whole Foods company found when investigating the factors that lead to an increase of worker unionisation (unionisation being a useful proxy for social trust in this context).
After a leak of internal documents, it was revealed that low ethnic diversity was a predictor for higher unionisation: “stores at higher risk of unionizing have lower diversity.”
The debate on whether the new immigration targets are too ambitious is also coinciding with heightened scrutiny regarding what — or who — is influencing government policy
OTTAWA — As Canada plans to significantly ramp up its immigration levels in the coming years, some policy experts are worried about potential effects on health care, housing and the labour market.
But Immigration Minister Sean Fraser insists that Canada needs more newcomers to address labour shortages and demographic changes that threaten the country’s future.
The Liberal Party has sold our sovereignty to the likes of McKinsey & Company. Get angry about this.
Liberal minister says Canada needs more immigration, some worried about impacts on services
… Radio-Canada reported last week that two sources within Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said McKinsey & Company’s influence on immigration policy has grown in recent years.
A government response to a Conservative MP’s written question, which was tabled in the House of Commons in December, says the department has not recently awarded any contracts to the consulting firm — at least, not during the timeframe the MP asked about, which was from March 2021 until October 2022.
And during the interview Thursday, Fraser said McKinsey has had no role to play in the new immigration levels plan.
Canada does not need mass immigration. The likes of Dominic Barton, McKinsey & Company and the rest of Canada’s corporate class want it so they can profit off the backs of citizens.
The Liberal Party has sold Canadians out to its crony capitalist buddies.
A luxury hotel in the heart of New York City is being ‘trashed’ by migrants – who have been accused of drinking all day, smoking marijuana, having sex in stairwells and causing fights, an employee claims.
The migrants – many of whom were bussed into the Big Apple from border states – are being housed temporarily in this luxury 1,300-room Manhattan hotel – The Row NYC, a $500-a-night hotel in the tourist hotspot of Times Square.
Hotel employee Filipe Rodriguez has called the situation a ‘disgrace’ and shared videos and photos of the chaos, which included ‘good food’ sitting out to rot in trash bags because ‘the migrants don’t want to eat it.’
A prominent Quebec author and historian at the head of a Quebec activist group has initiated a private criminal prosecution against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming the prime minister has encouraged illegal immigration into Canada, in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Ontario is home to seven of the 10 schools flagged by the Canadian government as having the highest rates of “non-compliance” when it comes to international students failing to show up for their registered courses, or instead applying for asylum.
The names of the so-called designated learning institutions, or DLIs — schools approved to host international students — were revealed in an internal report by the Immigration Department’s integrity risk management branch.
The list raises questions about Canada’s rapidly expanding international education industry, which has seen schools bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign students at significantly higher tuition rates than their Canadian peers, and whether it may be experiencing issues around compliance and enforcement.
This is allowed to happen, make no mistake it is a deliberate effort to undermine our society.
Canada’s urban areas experienced their strongest population growth in at least two decades, rebounding from a weak expansion during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the year ending July 1, 2022, the country’s census metropolitan areas (CMAs) grew 2.1 per cent or by 574,000 people, according to Statistics Canada estimates published on Wednesday. That was the strongest pace of growth in figures that go back to the early 2000s.
It was a comeback of sorts for urban regions, which had grown just 0.5 per cent the previous year, lagging the increase in rural areas. The pandemic and accompanying border restrictions led to a dramatic decline in immigration, while others decamped to smaller communities.
The Mayor of El Paso took one look at the empty streets around the Greyhound Bus terminal where migrants had once slept, and the trickle of new arrivals crossing the Rio Grande river, and realized that President Joe Biden may leave his border city with the idea that the crisis was over.
So, he took matters into his own hands.
Oscar Leeser, a Democrat who has clashed with the Biden administration over its handling of the border crisis, printed out a selection of images he had taken with his phone.
Poilievre mum on Tory MP’s ‘illegal refugees’ comment, calls for Roxham Road closure
OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the closure of the Roxham Road irregular border crossing but side-stepping questions about a Tory MP denying help to a family who used it to enter the country.
Poilievre told reporters today he is in favour of legal immigration but can understand the desperation that leads migrants to cross into Canada through the unofficial entry point south of Montreal.
Illegal immigrants in El Paso, Texas, have been arrested, their camps have been taken down, and some have been sent back to Mexico in the week leading up to President Biden’s first visit to the border during his term.
It was all supposed to be so well-scripted and harmonious.
Joe Biden would visit the border at the politically safe, Democrat-led El Paso entry point, make a speech about how well he’s doing on his migrant surge crisis, and off camera, someone would clean up the migrant mess in the vicinity to give Joe the backdrop to spin to the public that all was quiet and under control at the border.
Ummm… but in that much chaos, it’s really not working out the way he thought it would work out.
“You must stop busing migrants to Chicago and New York City.”
Last week I discussed the outpouring of humanitarian kindness by Colorado’s Gov Polis in shipping unwanted migrants to New York City. Don’t mistake this for the ‘bad’ kind of busing that DeSantis and Abbot do. No, in Polis’ words, it’s “honoring our values by treating people with dignity and respect.”
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) is “working,” despite the massive increase in migrants using unofficial border crossings last year compared to previous years.
