Rumour has it Chrystia Freeland might be the next one to be FIRED.

Justine's Liberals are desperate and now turning against each other.

Trudeau's propaganda arm, the CBC, gave out more bonuses to woke executives.

More bonuses for pushing the radical Liberal agenda while laying off hundreds of employees.

Every frickin time Justine's government promises to fix a problem, they make it worse. It doesn't matter if it is lowering emissions, fixing the national housing crisis, healtch care, inflation or getting control over unsustainable immigration levels. Justine's government promises always make problems worse.

We've already admitted more foreign students into Canada than we did in the same time period last year.

In the middle of a housing crisis.

At a time when health systems across the country struggle to hire enough doctors and nurses to care for the population that is already here.

What's worse, we aren't just increasing the number of foreign students, we are also increasing immigration on all fronts and even the number of people claiming asylum in Canada is up over last year. If you thought you heard the Liberal minister in charge of all of this say something about capping numbers, you'd be right.

The problem is, he hasn't done that yet even as his boss, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has admitted the problem.

"Over the past few years, we've seen a massive spike in temporary immigration, whether it's temporary foreign workers or whether it's international students, in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb," Trudeau said at the beginning of April.

What's been done since then?

Nothing.

As National Post first reported , between Jan. 1 and May 31, the Canadian government approved 216,620 study permits compared to 200,205 during the same period in 2023. For those keeping track, 2023 was a record year for foreign student admissions into Canada with more than 680,000 permits granted last year.

Now, when you add all the different ways we bring people in, it's a staggering figure. According to the Statistics Canada's population clock which tracks growth in real time, our current population as of writing is 41,481,200 .

On Dec. 19, 2023 when I wrote about our growing population, the clock stood at 40,720,342 meaning we've added 760,858 people in seven months or an average of 109,000 per month.

Again, all in a housing crisis and a health-care crisis.

Bringing in people on scale, faster than we can absorb them to use Trudeau's terminology, means housing costs rise and health care wait times grow longer. Then there is the economic impact of such massive and uncoordinated growth.

A recent report from The Royal Bank found that Canada's per-capita household spending is down, and that per capita GDP growth has declined in six of the last seven quarters.

Surging population growth has prevented outright declines in Canadian gross domestic product, but per-person output is falling, and the unemployment rate is rising like it usually only would be during a recession," RBC said.

So, we have a housing crisis, that is being made worse by a lack of supply and increased demand due to immigration, but that immigration is also masking a recession that would be taking place if it weren't for all the consumer spending of newcomers.

Meanwhile, unemployment is rising in large part because we add more people to the workforce each month. StatsCan has been warning for the last year that population growth is outstripping job growth.

It's a fine mess we find ourselves in, one created entirely by the policies of the Trudeau government.

Justin Trudeau and his Liberal-NDP coalition are on a WAR PATH to censor Canadians, raise taxes, and are unleashing a plague of violent crime in our communities before they get kicked out of office.

Justine's carbon tax and war on the energy sector have driven up prices, driven down investment and suppressed both economic growth and new employment.

Productivity per Canadian worker is down because industries are not investing in new technologies to increase the amount of product produced per hour worked. And our per capita income is actually declining (one of the few developed countries with that problem) because the Trudeau government has opened our borders wide and invited in a flood of newcomers.

Canada is welcoming beween 1.2 and 1.5 million immigrants, refugees and foreign students a year, up triple since the Liberals came to power in 2015. However, as a nation, we are only building enough housing for just under 400,000 a year and creating jobs for (maybe) 500,000 a year.

Throughout the Stephen Harper years, even going back as far as Liberal prime ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, our Gross Domestic Product, population, public sector workforce and government spending all ran pretty much in parallel.

That meant none of those elements were too wildly out of sync with the others.

GDP and population grew together with neither pulling too far ahead, nor falling too far behind. Similarly, the size of the federal budget and the government workforce were never more than a few percentage points out of whack with the others.

Federal spending since 2015 has nearly doubled. The national debt has doubled. The federal workforce has grown by more than 40%. Because these are mostly highly paid supervisors, executives and professionals, the federal payroll has grown by 67%.

Federal civil servants now make nearly 30% more than the average Canadian; 40% is a recurring number for the Liberals. Not only has the number of federal workers increased by 40%, violent crime is up 40% and so are drug deaths.

Groceries cost nearly 40% more than when the Liberals came to office, as does fuel. And taxes now consume over 40% of ordinary Canadians' incomes.

Wow, for a government that positioned itself as the champion of the middle class in 2015, the Trudeau government certainly has been hard on middle-income Canadians.

One of the other distressing figures from the Fraser study shows that, since 1980, incomes and housing prices in the U.S. have increased by about 100%, meaning an ordinary working American can still afford an ordinary American home.

Meanwhile, Canadian incomes have gone up 100%, but housing prices have jumped by 300%.

Much of the housing increase in Canada has happened during the nine years of Liberal rule and much of it is the result of the Trudeau government's open-door immigration policies, overwhelming the housing market.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that admitting too many immigrants means some Canadians will have to go without proper housing or a family doctor.

High immigration policy undermining housing, healthcare and climate goals
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-high-immigration-policy-undermining-housing-healthcare-and-climate-goals

It's hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

Simultaneously, there has been a huge increase in non-permanent residents during the Trudeau era (international students, temporary foreign workers and asylum seekers).

Trudeau himself said in April that in 2017, they constituted 2% of Canada's population, while today it's 7.5% or almost three million people, a number the PM described as "far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb" and "something that we need to get back under control."

Asked about a recent Leger poll that found 60% of Canadians surveyed believe too many immigrants are coming to Canada, Immigration Minioster Marc Miller responded: "I'm not naive enough to think Canada is immune to the waves of anti-immigrant sentiment," although he acknowledged Canadians want a system that is not out of control.

The Trudeau government often blames anti-immigration sentiment when questioned about its immigration policies, despite the fact years of polling have shown Canadians are generally supportive of immigration.

The reason there is concern now comes from statements by Trudeau that temporary immigration needs to be brought under control and by Miller that the skyrocketing number of international students was a source of concern about the integrity of the immigration system itself.

The federal government has long argued Canada needs high immigration because of its low domestic birth rate, which is not providing enough future workers to grow the economy.

But that policy has also undermined the goals of the Trudeau government on three major issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, healthcare and climate change.

Internal government documents obtained by The Canadian Press earlier this year revealed that in announcing its significant boost to immigration targets in 2022, the Trudeau government ignored warnings from its own public servants that doing so would increase the cost of housing and negatively impact Canada's already beleaguered healthcare system.

"In Canada, population growth has exceeded the growth in available housing units," the documents said.

As the federal authority charged with managing immigration, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) policy-makers must understand the misalignment between population growth and housing supply, and how permanent and temporary immigration shapes population growth ... Rapid increases put pressure on healthcare and affordable housing."

Last month, a peer-reviewed study by Lauren Eastman, Sukhy K. Mahl and Shoo K. Lee published by the Canadian Health Policy Journal — A Growing Problem: Is Canada's Health Care System Keeping Up With Newcomers — found that, "newcomer demand for health human resources including family physicians, specialists and registered nurses, far out-strips new supply in recent years, leading to a shortage of 1,122 family physicians, 690 specialists and 8,538 registered nurses in 2022. Immigration and healthcare resource policies should work in tandem to ensure the healthcare shortage facing Canadians is not exacerbated."

Herbert Grubel, a former federal MP and emeritus professor of economics at Simon Fraser University, and Patrick Grady, a former senior official in the federal finance department, estimated in a 2021 article in the Financial Post that based on higher immigration levels, "greenhouse gas emissions will be 7.5% above what they would have been otherwise" in 2030, and "this gap will be much larger by 2050, the year the government has promised to reduce emissions to net-zero as required by the Paris accord."

Justine granted Canadian citizenship to an alleged ISIS terrorist with bloodon his hands.

This alleged ISIS terrorist and his son were just arrested in Toronto where they were allegedly about to commit a terrorist attack on Canadian soil.

This is a massive Liberal failure and threatens the safety of Canadians.


Justine allowed an alleged ISIS terrorist who allegedly dismembered a body for an ISIS film into our country and put the lives of Canadians at risk.

He is not serious about our national security.

Enough is enough.

The United Nations announced this week it has fired more staff from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the organization that supports Palestinian refugees in Gaza, after its own investigation revealed they were involved in the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

n January, when reports of the agency's involvement in the attacks surfaced, Canada and other Western nations ceased funding UNRWA activities in Gaza. It turned out Canada didn't so much halt funding as "pause" it. Two months later, Canada reversed that decision, along with Australia and Sweden. The U.S. has since followed suit. In total, this country is giving $65 million in aid to Gaza, including $25 million in "recurring" funding for UNRWA.

In light of these latest admissions, it's time to reconsider if the UN is the best agency to provide that aid. Other organizations such as Red Cross or Red Crescent might be more trustworthy.

In supporting UNRWA, Canadian tax dollars were indirectly supporting terrorist activities.

Hiring people under the temporary foreign workers program is so popular that even Liberal MPs are doing it. While online outrage focuses on companies like Tim Hortons filling their stores with out-of-country, low-wage workers, Sukh Dhaliwal has taken advantage of the program.

n addition to being an MP, Dhaliwal is also the owner of a land surveying company in British Columbia.

"Dhaliwal & Associates Land Surveying was founded in 1997 by Sukh Dhaliwal, MP. In addition to being a practicing BC Land Surveyor, Mr. Dhaliwal is also registered as a Professional Engineer with the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and he is the sitting Member of Parliament for the constituency of Surrey-Newton," reads the firm's website.

On the federal government's website, Dhaliwal's firm was approved for hiring "legal administrative assistants" through the temporary foreign workers program in late 2023. Were there really none available in Surrey, a city with a population of close to 600,000 in an area with a population of more than three million and growing?

So, how did we get here?

In large part it is due to unbridled immigration on all fronts, something StatsCan has been warning about in their monthly jobs report for at least a year. In the August 2023 report on jobs, StatsCan noted that while 40,000 new jobs were created that month, the working population increased by 100,000.

The Trudeau Liberals have not only radically altered the requirements for hiring someone under the temporary foreign workers program, they have added hundreds of thousands of new workers who came as students.

We had one million foreign students enter into Canada in 2023 and right now, there is no cap on how many hours they can work. It had been 20 hours per week, but that cap was removed during the pandemic to ease worker shortages.

They removed restrictions on using foreign workers when the unemployment rate goes above 6% and they got rid of seasonal restrictions.

Later this year, the Trudeau government will have doubled the debt, after less than a decade in power.

Think of the prime ministers that came before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Harper, Mulroney, Pierre Trudeau, Diefenbaker, William Lyon Mackenzie King, all the way down the history railway back to Sir John A. MacDonald.

Picture the debt under all those governments, stacked up. Debts incurred during wars, recession and a depression.

Now double it.

That's what the current incarnation of the Trudeau government will have achieved, with a federal debt of more than $1.2 trillion.

The Canadian economy lost $341 million today because Justine under pressure from Jagmeet Singh refused to do his job and step in and stop the worst rail strike in pone hundred years.

The Canadian economy lost $341 million today because Justine under pressure from Jagmeet Singh refused to do his job and step in and stop the worst rail strike in pone hundred years.

Is he not even going to force them back to the bargaining table?

If True Dope and Singh won't do that, they hate Canadians even more than I thought.
