SCOOP: Trudeau government to slash immigration levels — National Post

Data obtained by National Post shows the government is planning to decrease permanent resident intake from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025

apple.news

Overnight this comes out? It’s a marked shift in policy by a Liberal government that has steadily increased immigration levels since it took power in 2015.

Immigration without social capacity ramped up is nuts.

I hear of colleges and universities being flooded with foreign PR canidates.

Are trade and tech institutes being overwhelmed too?

“We didn’t get the balance quite right,” Trudeau said of his government’s massive increase in immigration over the past several years.

This being Trudeau, the blame for the problem was shifted elsewhere: corporations who abused the relaxation on the numbers of temporary workers to pay lower wages; provinces that didn’t enforce their own regulations over student admissions; and “exploitative” colleges and universities that brought in more students than the country could accommodate to “line their own pockets.”

The truth is the federal government released the brakes on a runaway train, despite warnings from the public service about unintended consequences.

Ottawa then waited two years before it reacted.

In 2017, when our fresh-faced prime minister was still under the mistaken impression that incessant virtue-signalling was a reasonable way to run a country, Justin Trudeau issued a proclamation to the world’s huddled masses: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” Canada, in other words, was instituting an open-door immigration policy, in contrast to the United States, where president Donald Trump had just signed an executive order intended to curb Muslim immigration.

In the years that followed, the Liberals continually hiked their immigration targets, first to 400,000 permanent residents per year, then 500,000. It was only after Canadians’ historic consensus around the benefits of immigration started to fracture that the government pulled back, announcing on Thursday that the number of permanent residents admitted in 2025 will fall to 395,000, from the previous target of 485,000. That’s a pretty dramatic cut, but still well above the number of newcomers that were being admitted when the Liberals first took office a decade earlier.

Yet that’s not the impression Toronto Star readers got. The lede in a story published on its website on Thursday claimed that, “Canada is relinquishing its welcome mat to newcomers, ending more than three decades of open-door policy that has earned it the reputation of being the world’s most pro-immigration country.”

That’s the sort of opening paragraph that would make sense in the opinion pages, where clubbing a politician over the head for what the author believes is a foolhardy policy comes with the territory (see how this screed began, for example). But even if Star immigration reporter Nicholas Keung’s piece (which was subsequently rewritten) had been an opinion column, it wouldn’t have held much water, as the Liberals’ new 2027 immigration target of 365,000 is still 40 per cent higher than the 260,404 permanent residents that were admitted in 2014, the last full year that the Conservatives were in power — hardly a sign that Canada is “relinquishing its welcome mat.”

Sex assault victim calls 911 to ‘order a pizza,’ illegal immigrant arrested

Suspect with hands behind him following an 911 call on attempted rape
An attempted rape victim, still with the suspect, called 911 pretending to order pizza in from a field Pierson, FL, on October 19, 2024. Emergency responders were able to triangulate her location. When deputies arrived, she was screaming for help with the suspect on top of her.
An illegal immigrant was busted while allegedly trying to rape a Florida woman — who had called 911 and pretended to order a pizza, police said.


Luis Hernandez-Moncayo, 27, faces charges for an allegedly trying to sexual assault a woman one day after he applied for asylum, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said.

According to the alleged victim, she and Hernandez-Moncayo had gone out for drinks, but he turned “extremely violent” after doing cocaine.

The woman alerted authorities by tricking Hernandez-Moncayo into thinking she was ordering food — but was really on the line to 911.

“Yeah, I would like to order a pizza,” the woman says in audio of the call released by police, her voice altered to protect her identity.

“Are you aware you’re calling 911?” the dispatcher asked — immediately catching on when the woman replied: “Yes, I’m sure I’m calling to that number. Can I get a pizza?”


She added: “I would like to order pepperoni and extra cheese,” as the dispatcher kept her on the line asking extra questions to determine the woman was with one man who was not armed.

The sheriff’s department eventually tracked the caller’s location and video shows deputies arriving at the scene where the accused attacker was allegedly on top of the woman.

“He’s trying to rape me!” the woman screams, according to the video. “Can you help?”


The officers appear to take down and handcuff their suspect as the sobbing woman repeatedly cries out, “thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you, Jesus! He tried to rape me!”

Sheriff Mike Chitwood praised the woman for being able to keep her wits about her and convey the kind of danger she was facing to dispatchers, whom he also lauded.


“When you watch the video … and you hear those screams, it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up,” he said.

The woman told police “he became extremely violent and wouldn’t let her go and tried to rape her,” Chitwood continued. “The video speaks for itself.”

The sheriff added that instead of asylum he was seeking, Hernandez-Moncayo is “now sitting in jail, charged with attempted sexual battery, battery by strangulation, and false imprisonment, with an immigration detainer from the U.S. Border Patrol.”

Ministry ignored immigration impacts: Report
Author of the article:Kevin Connor
Published Nov 04, 2024 • Last updated 1 day ago • 2 minute read

The Canadian Immigration Department has admitted to ignoring whether foreign workers took Canadian jobs or kept wages low, Blacklock’s Reporter has reported.

Impacts are not monitored, said an internal report.
“The program is built on the assumption that benefits to Canada from the facilitation of select foreign workers exceed any potential harm to the domestic labour market,” said the Evaluation Of The International Mobility Program. “However document review and key informants pointed out that labour market impacts are not monitored.”
Auditors scrutinized a program that allowed more than 3,970,000 foreign workers into Canada from 2014 to 2022.
Most were men under the age of 34 and came from India and China.
Almost half applied to stay in Canada as permanent residents, wrote the Department of Immigration.
The Evaluation report said there were no attempts to make sure Canadian workers and wages were protected.

“The program is less aligned with commitments to consider Canadian workers first especially given the program’s continued growth,” it said.
“The department does not systematically monitor labour market impacts of the program and data gaps, particularly for open work permits, make it difficult to measure the full extent of program benefits relative to risks for unintended consequences such as displacement of Canadian workers and wage suppression.”
In October, the Cabinet tabled new immigration plans to cut the number of foreign worker permits by about a tenth.
A total 765,262 foreign workers were allowed into Canada in 2023.
“Document reviews revealed concerns that program objectives are broad and ambiguous,” said the Evaluation report.

“For example, while exemptions under Canada’s international education strategy provide open work permits to students and recent graduates, the department does not measure whether this type of employment displaces Canadian workers or suppresses wages.”
In 2022, the Cabinet allowed one million foreign students to work unlimited hours.
Prior to that, foreign students were limited to working 20 hours a week.
“I don’t think students are taking jobs away from other people given the labour shortages that are happening in Canada,” Immigration Minister Marc Miller told reporters earlier.
“My focus primarily is to make sure the public policy we have in place is one that reflects the ability of the student to actually do what they’re supposed to be doing, which is study without bankrupting themselves.”

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Thursday Canada will stand firm on its plan to rein in the number of newcomers entering the country, despite concerns that Donald Trump's re-election could spur an influx of migrants from the United States.

The celebs who said they'd flee the country if Trump won

A number of celebrities, have vowed to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump became president. Such promises range from humorous exaggerations, to seemingly serious promises.

www.dailymail.co.uk

But…but what about the Left leaning Harris endorsing Celebrities that will need to bail as refugees from America before they something something somehow, etc…?

Cher has made no secret of her opposition to Mr Trump’s government, previously stating she’d even try to leave the planet if he became president.

Earlier this year, American actor and film producer Sharon Stone suggested she was eyeing up a house in Europe should Mr Trump be re-elected.

Actor and singer Barbra Streisandsuggested that she liked the idea of living in the UK, should Mr Trump return to power this time around.

When Mr Trump first ran for president in 2016, several other stars also vowed to leave the country, including Miley Cyrus, Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Samuel L Jackson, and Whoopi Goldberg. However, most later backpedalled on their claims and decided to stay.

Canada recently announced plans to cut back on the number of newcomers and Joly said that won't change when asked Thursday by a reporter what Canada's plan is for a possible surge of migrants.

Following Trump's win, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revived a Canada-U.S. relations cabinet committee that hadn't met since Trump left office in 2021. Immigration Minister Marc Miller and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who is responsible for the Canada Border Services Agency, are among its members.

“We are ready with a plan,” Joly said of the incoming Trump administration, and noted the committee will hold its first meeting Friday.

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet accused the Liberals of long downplaying the issue of asylum seekers entering Canada through the Roxham Road border crossing in Quebec.

“Once again, the government is refusing to acknowledge an obvious and very serious situation,” he said, and called on Ottawa to staff up at border entry points.

Last year, when President Joe Biden was in Ottawa, he and Trudeau announced a deal to amend the Safe Third Country Agreement. That policy means asylum seekers are not eligible to make a claim if entering either country from the other, but previously it only applied at official border crossings.

It now applies to the entire border, and asylum claims being made at unofficial crossings have dropped substantially.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, then less than two years into his first and only majority mandate, responded at the time by posting on X that refugees fleeing persecution were welcome in Canada.

Since then, public sentiments around immigration have changed drastically.

It no doubt came as news to many Canadians when Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland assured us last week that Canada’s borders are “safe and secure,” that “Canada controls our borders” and that “every Canadian has the absolute right to expect that our country chooses who comes here and who doesn’t.”

Seriously, minister?

Does that mean Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s virtue-signalling tweet on Jan. 28, 2017 that, “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada,” didn’t contribute to a wave of asylum seekers flocking into Canada starting seven years ago? This after President-elect Donald Trump cracked down on illegal immigration to the U.S. during his first term of office.

As we recall, Trudeau’s ill-chosen words were a key factor that resulted in tens of thousands of migrants being literally escorted into Canada by Canadian authorities to file refugee claims here.

This despite entering the country at illegal border crossings, putting enormous strain on social services in cities such as Toronto and Montreal to house them, before that policy was finally shut down.

Alternatively, does Freeland’s assertion that “Canada controls our borders” mean our government has tracked down the 34,000 foreign nationals ordered to leave the country that the Canada Border Services Agency had lost track of, according to a 2020 report by federal auditor general Karen Hogan?

Does it mean that Trump’s new border czar, Tom Homan, is misleading Canadians when he says there is an “extreme national security vulnerability” along the Canada-U.S. border which needs to be addressed?

That would be odd, since the Trudeau government says it shares U.S. concerns about border insecurity contributing to the threat of terrorism in both countries and to human trafficking and smuggling operations run by organized crime.

Given this, it would seem logical for Canada to work closely with the incoming Trump administration to address these issues seriously — especially given concerns that Trump’s election promise of mass deportations of illegals from the U.S. could again increase the flow of migrants seeking entry into Canada, etc…
