Why are more people unemployed in Toronto than all of Quebec?
Population growth, driven by immigration, is outpacing job growth

Despite saying they need to start dealing with issues like housing, health care and infrastructure on immigration, they won't drop numbers.
There are more unemployed people in Toronto than in all of Quebec.
When that stat was passed my way the other day, I was dismissive and thought it was someone on social media making things up.
Turns out it is 100% accurate and the reasons behind it are disturbing.
As first reported by Better Dwelling, an online housing media outlet, Toronto had 317,200 people unemployed last month compared to Quebec’s 244,200. The latest jobs report from Statistics Canada puts Toronto’s unemployment rate at 7.9%, well ahead of the national rate of 6.2% and definitely well ahead of Quebec’s provincial rate of 5.1%.
Now, to put that in perspective, StatsCan doesn’t just measure Toronto proper in these statistics but rather the wider Toronto area, which in these measurements doesn’t include Oshawa or Hamilton.
The working population aged 15 and over in Toronto is listed at 6 million compared to 7.4 million for the entire province of Quebec.
Toronto’s unemployment rate is normally higher than the national or provincial average, so the fact that it is higher isn’t shocking. It’s the numbers in the StatsCan tables that should give everyone pause for concern.
Over the past year, Toronto has gone from 231,100 people unemployed and an unemployment rate of 5.9% to 317,200 out of work and 7.9%. The working age population of the area also went up by 273,000, mostly due to immigration.
Statistics Canada has been warning for nearly a year that as a country our population growth, driven by immigration, was outpacing population growth — but the Trudeau government has ignored those warnings. Last August, Stats Canada pointed out that Canada’s population aged 15 and over had been growing by an average of 81,000 per month, outstripping job growth.
“Given this pace of population growth, employment growth of approximately 50,000 per month is required for the employment rate to remain constant,” StatsCan said.
We didn’t hit an average of 50,000 jobs a month last year and are well below that level in 2024, even as the population keeps growing and the government increases the number of temporary foreign workers and international students who are given work permits.
Earlier this week, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said he was “quite tired of the fact that people are always blaming immigrants for absolutely everything.”
He should talk to his own boss who had this to say a couple of months ago.
“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,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at the beginning of April.
Trudeau even went on to say this flood of new people was helping drive down wages in some sectors of the economy.
The temporary workforce used to be less than 3% of Canada’s total population, now it’s over 7%, and the Trudeau government has promised to bring it down to 5% over the next few years. They haven’t started to move on that, instead they are going in the opposite direction.
Our population is up roughly 600,000 people or 1.5% over the last six months alone and the Trudeau government shows no sign of slowing things down.
They have announced automatic permanent residency for people coming to Canada as caregivers. They have extended work permits for international students and are doing the same for asylum seekers.
All of this will only add to Toronto’s rising unemployment.
That’s not blaming immigrants minister, that’s blaming your policies, which have lifted the checks and balances in the system, opened the flood gates and, in the words of your boss, allowed people in faster than we can absorb them.
It’s not fair to the people already in Toronto, including many immigrants, and it’s not fair to the people you are bringing here.
It’s time to get a handle on your file Minister Miller.

Trudeau's out-of-control immigration policies hitting Canada hard
Trudeau says we're bringing in more people than we can absorb in the middle of a housing crisis and a health system under strain.
Author of the article:Brian Lilley
Published Jun 12, 2024 • Last updated 3 days ago • 3 minute read
In the last six months, Canada has added nearly 600,000 people to our population due to out-of-control immigration. That’s an increase in population of 1.5% in just six months — or put another way, we are increasing our population at a rate of 3% a year, all through immigration.
It is out of control.
This is happening at a time when we have a housing affordability crisis driven by the fact that we don’t have enough supply to keep up with demand. We have a health-care crisis where millions of Canadians don’t have access to a family doctor and surgical wait times are far too long.
Still, we keep bringing in more people.
We are told these are temporary foreign workers or international students or asylum-seekers rather than permanent residents. Officially, the government’s immigration target is still below 500,000 permanent residents per year and yet somehow we are on pace to bring in more than double that.
“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,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at the beginning of April.
“Increasingly, more and more businesses are relying on temporary foreign workers in a way that is driving down wages in some sectors.”
OK, to sum up: Canada’s prime minister said on April 2 that we are bringing in people faster than we can absorb them and this is driving down wages. So given his access to the levers of power, what is Trudeau doing to reverse this, to fix the problem?
Based on the latest numbers from Statistics Canada, absolutely nothing.
In May 2023, Canada’s unemployment rate was 5.2%, but by May 2024 it was 6.2%.
What was the major difference?
According to Statistics Canada, we are bringing in people faster than our ability to create jobs. Which is odd because part of the reason we are told we need such high immigration numbers is to fill jobs that Canadians won’t take.
According to the latest jobs report from Statistics Canada, we added 1.1 million people to the working-age population of 15 years of age and older. We added 652,000 people to the labour force, but only 402,000 jobs, meaning we added 250,000 people to the unemployment line.
In what world is it fair to entice people to move here with the promise of unemployment? In what world is it fair to have Canadians watch wages go down or stagnate because we are bringing in more people than we can employ.
That doesn’t even touch on the impact of such over-the-top immigration numbers on the housing crisis or the ability of provinces to reduce the strain on our health-care system.
It was just a few years ago that Ontario had a population of 14.7 million, but now Statistics Canada pegs the province as having 16.1 million people and growing. Much of that increase is due to temporary immigration, but increasingly those who have come as students or as temporary workers have said they don’t want to leave.
Meanwhile, the Trudeau government is offering faster work permits to asylum claimants and promising immediate permanent residency status for anyone who comes to Canada as a caregiver. Already, immigration consultants have been taking to social media to explain how people can bring their brothers, sisters or other family members to Canada by claiming they are coming to look after the kids.
Canada has long had high immigration numbers; we’ve also had a fairly general consensus to support that. The Liberals are breaking that consensus with poor management of the system.
The Liberals say they are concerned about the rise of anti-immigrant votes in Europe and yet they ignore the same warning signs here at home.
They are sowing the seeds of our future discontent.

Cop wants illegal immigrant accused of killing Rachel Morin 'to die' in jail
The illegal immigrant also allegedly murdered a young woman in El Salvador

RACHEL MORIN: Murdered.
Maryland mom Rachel Moring was murdered while running.
Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez is no longer a free man.
The accused killer of Maryland mom-of-five Rachel Morin was arrested late Friday in Tulsa by FBI agents as he casually sipped a drink at a low-rent watering hole.
It also emerged that the illegal immigrant from El Salvador allegedly murdered a young woman in his home country before fleeing to the United States.
Morin disappeared on Aug. 5, 2023, after she went running on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Md. Her boyfriend reported her missing later that evening.
The 37-year-old’s body was discovered the next day, triggering a nationwide manhunt for her killer.
Cops say that Martinez-Hernandez was linked to Morin’s murder via DNA from a brutal sex attack on a nine-year-old girl and her mother in Los Angeles. He faces charges of first-degree murder and first-degree rape in Morin’s death.
“Rachel’s murderer is no longer a free man,” Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler alleged. “Hopefully, he will never have the opportunity to walk free again. I want him to die in a Maryland prison system.”
The accused is being held without bond and on a detainer from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Tulsa County jail. He is now awaiting extradition from Oklahoma to face charges in Harford County.
According to cops, on what would have been Morin’s 38th birthday, detectives received the DNA evidence that put a name to the suspect in a video from Los Angeles that was released two weeks after the Maryland mom was killed.
Investigators tracked Martinez-Hernandez from Prince George’s County in suburban Washington to Tulsa. The feds zeroed in on the Oklahoma city and busted him Friday. Allegedly, he initially lied about his real identity and denied any knowledge of the crimes.

Officials said the citizen of El Salvador illegally crossed into the U.S. in February 2023.
“We all suspected that perhaps Rachel was not his first victim, and it’s my understanding that this suspect, this monster, fled to the United States illegally after committing the brutal murder of a young woman in El Salvador a month earlier in January of 2023,” Gahler told reporters.
Gahler said the accused was “likely emboldened by his anonymity,” and alleged he unleashed the L.A. home invasion attack in March 2023.
The veteran cop said that Morin’s murder was the second time in two years that an illegal immigrant with ties to El Salvadorian street gangs has allegedly murdered a Harford County woman. In 2022, a 17-year-old boy from El Salvador, who cops say is also a member of MS-13, was arrested for the murder of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton. She was found dead on a street and had been strangled.
“Victor Hernandez did not come here to make a better life for himself or for his family,” the sheriff said. “He came here to escape the crime he committed in El Salvador. He came here and murdered Rachel and, God willing, no one else. But that should have never been allowed to happen.”

Morin’s devastated mom thanked the cops for their doggedness.
“At one point, when things seemed really bleak and hopeless, the lead detective said to me, ‘Patience will win in the end.’ And that’s what they’ve been doing,” Patricia Morin said.
“They’ve been diligently working very hard, and they’ve been patiently working through all the leads. And it’s because of that we have an arrest today. So I’m very thankful and just very grateful.”
She added: “I didn’t think that we were ever going to have an end, that it was going to be a cold case.”

Half a million immigrants could eventually get US citizenship under Biden plan
The move would allow certain spouses of U.S. citizens without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is taking an expansive election year step to offer relief to potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his own aggressive crackdown on the southern border earlier this month that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers.
The White House announced Tuesday that the Biden administration will, in the coming months, allow certain spouses of U.S. citizens without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship. The move could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials.
To qualify, an immigrant must have lived in the United States for 10 years as of Monday and be married to a U.S. citizen. If a qualifying immigrant’s application is approved, he or she would have three years to apply for a green card and receive a temporary work permit and be shielded from deportation in the meantime.
About 50,000 noncitizen children with a parent who is married to a U.S. citizen could also potentially qualify for the same process, according to senior administration officials who briefed reporters on the proposal on the condition of anonymity. There is no requirement on how long the couple must have been married, and no one becomes eligible after Monday. That means immigrants who reach that 10-year mark after Monday will not qualify for the program, according to the officials.
Senior administration officials said they anticipate the process will be open for applications by the end of the summer, and fees to apply have yet to be determined.
Biden will speak about his plans at a Tuesday event at the White House, which will also mark the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a popular Obama-era directive that offered deportation protections and temporary work permits for young immigrants who lack legal status.
White House officials privately encouraged Democrats in the House, which is in recess this week, to travel back to Washington to attend the announcement.
The Democratic president will also announce new regulations that will allow certain DACA beneficiaries and other young immigrants to more easily qualify for long-established work visas. That would allow qualifying immigrants to have protection that is sturdier than the work permits offered by DACA, which is currently facing legal challenges and is no longer taking new applications.
The power that Biden is invoking with his Tuesday announcement for spouses is not a novel one. The policy would expand on authority used by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama to allow “parole in place” for family members of military members, said Andrea Flores, a former policy adviser in the Obama and Biden administrations who is now a vice president at FWD.us, an immigration advocacy organization.
The parole-in-place process allows qualifying immigrants to get on the path to U.S. permanent residency without leaving the country, removing a common barrier for those without legal status but married to Americans. Flores said it “fulfills President Biden’s Day 1 promise to protect undocumented immigrants and their American families.”
Tuesday’s announcement comes two weeks after Biden unveiled a sweeping crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border that effectively halted asylum claims for those arriving between officially designated ports of entry. Immigrant-rights groups have sued the Biden administration over that directive, which a senior administration official said Monday had led to fewer border encounters between ports.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is taking an expansive election year step to offer relief to potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his own aggressive crackdown on the southern border earlier this month that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers.
The White House announced Tuesday that the Biden administration will, in the coming months, allow certain spouses of U.S. citizens without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship. The move could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials.
To qualify, an immigrant must have lived in the United States for 10 years as of Monday and be married to a U.S. citizen. If a qualifying immigrant’s application is approved, he or she would have three years to apply for a green card and receive a temporary work permit and be shielded from deportation in the meantime.

Fill Toronto with immigrants and listen to them tell us to "Wake Up Canada" . All good as long as the people who need to "wake up" are the ones paying for it.
Very hard to run a country as large as Canada without regional bias coming into play. Time and again. Ridiculous to continue on as is with government incompetence determining fiscal policy while the federal pay package is their number one priority.
Meanwhile Canadian in name only banks control the economy to keep most people broke ensuring interest payments on money owing while they make money hand over fist manipulating the markets beyond reproach.
It's a wonderful life.

Nicolás Maduro emptied Venezuelan prisons and sent them to the USA under Biden's open borders.
Biden won't stop the flood, because he needs Venezuelan oil.
Under Nicolás Maduro the Venezuelan military is one of biggest narco dealers, even bigger than some of the Mexican cartels and working hand in hand to funnel drugs and people into the USA.
I wonder how much the big guy is getting to let illegals come into the USA and rape and kill US citizens.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country’s population topped 41 million people in the first quarter of this year as it grew by 0.6%.
The agency says the population reached 41,012,563 on April 1, a gain of 242,673 people in the first three months of the year.
Statistics Canada said the increase came as the country welcomed 121,758 immigrants in the first quarter.
Net emigration amounted to 12,613 people for the quarter.
Canada also added 131,810 non-permanent residents to the population.
Statistics Canada noted that for temporary immigration, most of the growth happened before an announcement that caps would be placed on the number of permits issued to non-permanent residents in 2024.

Man ordered deported to Haiti multiple times - then he killed

Teacher Naomi Onoteras husband was ordered deported 11 times. He stayed long enough to kill.
Teacher Naomi Onoteras husband was ordered deported 11 times. He stayed long enough to kill.
Canada wasn’t much interested in Obnes Regis’ hard-luck tale.
That alone is something given our transformation over the past decade into the world’s patsy.
Since 2011, Regis the Haitian illegal had been ordered deported multiple times but did he take heed? Not a whit.
And as for border officials, they apparently couldn’t be bothered picking him up to give him the boot. No doubt in fear of a small army of activists, advocates and academics who would slam them as big (racist) meanies.
So, despite being ordered to scram — at least 11 times, according to one report — Regis, 53, lived his best Canadian life in Langley, B.C. He was even brazen enough to get married as the deportation order hung over his head.
ORDERED OUT: Killer Obnes Regis was ordered deported from Canada multiple times.
ORDERED OUT: Killer Obnes Regis was ordered deported from Canada multiple times.
But like a lot of other illegals ordered to get out of Canada, he ignored the edict. And why not? Is anybody going to do something about it? Of course not.
His wife’s name was Naomi Onotera, a 40-year-old kindergarten teacher and the mother of their toddler.
And then, on Aug. 28, 2021, Onotera went for an evening walk and was never heard from again. Her mother reported her missing the following day.
Regis wasn’t arrested until December of that year and a macabre tale began emerging.
After killing his wife, the illegal immigrant then proceeded to dismember Onotera’s lifeless body. Regis then used public transit and taxis to get to various locations in the Lower Mainland where he disposed of the remains.
His two-year-old daughter accompanied him in his quest to erase the evidence of his sickening deed. Regis was charged with manslaughter and indignity to human remains.
Regis eventually pleaded guilty to the charges. When he is done serving his sentence (the Crown wants 19 years in the slammer) he will — supposedly — be deported to Haiti.
Of course, Naomi Onotera would almost assuredly still be walking among us if one person in Canada Border Services had said, “hey, this guy has been ordered out multiple times. Let’s pick him up.”
Tragically for Onotera and her family that never happened. On Monday they read their victim impact statements.
“(A) horrendous act has left our family without our daughter, sister and niece,” her mother Maureen said. “And, above all, a little girl without her mama.”
Onotera’s sister, Kristen Kerr added: “[Regis] not only stole my sister from us, he did something so atrocious — so unbelievable — that we weren’t even able to lay her to rest, and say goodbye.”
Regis was reportedly nonplussed by the high-charged courtroom emotions.
Kerr said: “I have no forgiveness for you, (Regis). And every breath you take is a breath wasted.”
The killer’s sentencing hearing will continue Tuesday.
In a story earlier this year, The Globe and Mail reported that Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had sent out thousands of deportation letters ordering illegals out.
Many were still in the country years later.
“A person found to be illegally in Canada and being placed on the deportation list should be prioritized for removal,” Tom Kmiec, the Conservatives’ immigration critic, told the Globe.
“Lack of enforcement like this contributes to the growing uncertainty and drop in support on the historic immigration consensus across all parties.”
The Globe said 63.8% of people who were ordered out were still in the country. Some had received the letters years before and just 20% had been given the boot.
Obnes Regis was probably one of those who received the glad tidings in the mail.
He ignored it and a Canadian mother is dead.
