For 10 years, Canada kept denying there was ever a link between mass immigration and housing affordability until the polls tanked and Trudeau finally admitted it 3 months before he resigned. In 2023, Canada had its biggest population increase since 1957, driven almost entirely by immigration. Not births. Immigration.... His government kept increasing permanent residency targets while temporary residents and international students were also flocking in in droves. Economists warned Canada needed to build A LOT more housing to return to affordability with wage growth lagging far behind and cities like Toronto and Vancouver becoming some of the least affordable cities in the world. They finally cut the immigration targets but the damage was done.show more

🇨🇦 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there has been a massive spike in temporary immigration (temporary foreign workers and international students in particular) that has grown at a rate far beyond the limit of what Canada has been able to absorb. 🇨🇦 He says temporary residents’ population has grown from 2% in 2017 to 7.5% and that’s something Canada needs to get back under control. 🇨🇦 PM Trudeau acknowledges the increasing mental health challenges among international students and the increasing reliance of businesses on temporary foreign workers, driving down wages in some sectors.

He finally admits it. Uncontrolled mass immigration led to Canada's housing crisis. They tried to deny it and it resulted in horrible policies such as blanket upzoning. Mark Carney: "The overall level (of immigration) still putting pressure on housing so we still need a few more years of restraint." Cut immigration more and let the housing prices fall with demand more. Why the developers bailout then?

Still trying to figure out the link between mass immigration and COVID and how it happened in 2022. Same recurring story everywhere. Open borders, housing shortage, promising to fix it, failing. In Australia, Labor came to power in 2022 implementing a “welcoming” immigration policy that brought in 528,000 immigrants. It only took a year for them to cause a housing shortage that led to skyrocketing rents. So in 2023, they tried to cap immigration and increase student visa costs but the Senate failed to pass it. Now Australia’s stuck with unwanted immigrants and a housing affordability crisis they’re unwilling/incapable of solving.

After announcing they would increase mass immigration to Canada by 2,485,000 people in the next 5 years, the Trudeau Liberals today announced that over the next 5 years the Canada Lands Company will enable building approximately 26,400 housing units and around 5,300 affordable homes. This announcement is a drop in the bucket and the Liberal math doesn’t add up. The housing crisis will only get worse.

Today, we announced our 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan: We are maintaining targets of 485,000 permanent residents for 2024 and completing the final step to reach 500,000 in 2025. For 2026, we will stabilize permanent resident levels at 500,000 allowing time for successful integration while continuing to augment Canada’s labour market. The government also plans to take action over the next year to recalibrate the number of temporary resident admissions to ensure this aspect of our immigration system also remains sustainable. Highlights from the 2024-2026 Levels Plan include: · A continued long-term focus on economic growth, with over 60% of permanent resident admissions dedicated to the economic class by 2025. · A commitment to uphold the Government of Canada’s humanitarian support effort by responding to humanitarian and geopolitical crises around the world. · New ambitious Francophone immigration targets to support Francophone communities outside of Quebec: 6% total immigration in 2024, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026. This is to strengthen Francophone communities outside of Quebec and ensure the economic prosperity of Francophone minority communities across Canada. We will continue to work closely with the provinces and territories, employers, stakeholders and Indigenous peoples to help Canada adapt to the reality of immigration-driven population growth. This approach is also guided by ‘An Immigration System for Canada’s Future’ – a report that lays out a pathway to strengthen our immigration system for newcomers, businesses and communities: Together, these measures will continue to put people at the heart of our immigration policy and ensure newcomers have the resources they need, including settlement support and access to housing, to succeed in their new lives.

🇨🇦 Immigration Minister Marc Miller ᐅᑭᒫᐃᐧᐅᓃᐸᐄᐧᐤᐃᔨᐣ Mikotsikaa says blaming everything on immigrants is not right 🇨🇦 He said that economic challenges should not be “entirely” linked to immigration and at the same time, it is also naive to ignore the fact that #immigration volumes have impacted affordability “As the economic circumstances change in this country so does the posture of the government of Canada. Again, we can do this without calling each other bigots. We can do this in a context where we're actually having a rational discussion about the national interest of Canada and whether we need to reduce immigration levels.”

Maxine Waters is wrong. Here the proof: 1. Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies – Analysis of the recent immigrant surge finds that immigration (documented + undocumented) added significantly to pandemic‑era household formation and housing demand, especially in certain metros, putting upward pressure on rents and prices. 2. Congressional testimony on illegal immigration and rents – Stephen Camarota’s 2024 testimony to the House Oversight Committee concludes that higher immigrant shares in a metro are associated with about a 12% increase in the average U.S.‑born household’s rent relative to income, and argues there is “very good reason to believe” illegal immigration has driven up rents and reduced affordability in high‑immigration areas. 3. Cato analysis (summarizing peer‑reviewed work) – Economists using shift‑share instruments find that an immigration inflow equal to 1% of a city’s population is associated with roughly a 1% increase in rents and housing values, with the housing‑market effect “an order of magnitude bigger” than the labor‑market effect. In places like Springfield, Ohio, JD Vance’s example, a migrant influx coincided with a 101% jump in single‑family home prices from 2019–2024, versus 46% nationwide. 4. FAIR: “Housing Affordability is an Immigration Issue” – FAIR compiles research arguing that immigration, including illegal immigration, is a primary force sustaining high housing prices in many U.S. markets and emphasizes that rapid population inflows strain limited housing supply. Scott Bessent is a savage. I love him.

Trudeau has been Prime Minister for 9 years. In that time, former Immigration Minister Sean Fraser lost track of one million people who entered Canada and ran the immigration system "out of control," according to current Liberal Immigration Minister Marc Miller. All while both of them ignored warnings his immigration levels would drive up housing costs... and the Liberals also granted citizenship to an alleged ISIS terrorist. These Liberals can't fix what they broke.

Sympathy for young students is understandable, BUT NOT in this scenario !! BUT —> Reality is not optional. A study permit was never a guarantee of permanent residency! A protest is not a work permit! While these students camp out demanding more pathways, Canadian families have been quietly crushed for years. A $1,600 two-bedroom gets split four ways by students at $400 each. Landlords raise the rent. A couple with a newborn can’t compete. They either pay more, move to a worse area, cut groceries, or go into debt. No one organized a protest for them. No consultants sold them a dream. Youth unemployment was still 12.7% in June. Housing, healthcare, and wages never kept up. Even the federal government finally admitted the numbers were unsustainable and brought in student caps. This isn’t about hating any group, it’s REALITY! It’s about a government that invited far more people than the country could absorb…. then pretended to acted shocked when Canadians paid the price. Canadian families should not have to sacrifice their housing, jobs, and quality of life so someone else’s temporary stay can become permanent. MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN! TEMPORARY MEANS TEMPORARY! #cdnpoli #CanadaFirst #HousingCrisis #Immigration

Pierre Poilievre discusses Immigration. If he's going to be the next PM, I think it's important to know his thoughts on this. He says we have to slow down the numbers, end the fraud with the International Students and Temporary Foreign Workers and get back to the best system in the world like we had before Trudeau. He also says immigrants can bring their traditions and culture but need to leave their foreign conflicts at the door. Do you think this is a good plan for immigration in Canada? This is, of course just a brief summary of what he said, watch his full answer here:

Incredible bombshell from India! They say intel has linked Hardeep Singh Nijjar to Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal who has helped him and others with permanent residency. Let's remember Nijjar came to Canada with false documents, rejected twice and still somehow was allowed to stay in Canada. And that there was a whole racket of people flying to Canada (paying to come to Canada) and the money was split between Nijjar and Liberal MP Sukh Daliwal; an immigration racket were people were essentially paying to come to Canada and insured they got a PR. This is a serious charge that must be investigated and one that Canada must respond to as well. Liberal MP Sukh Daliwal wouldn't be able to do it alone which also means we have a whole corrupt immigration system.

A student visa is a temporary document to study in Canada. That was always understood. Our universities and colleges were built by Alberta taxpayers, first and foremost for Alberta students. Where there is room for international students, the terms are simple. Earn your education, then return home to build a life with it. Rules are what make a fair system fair and our country needs to return to an immigration process that respects the rules.

Jordan Peterson rips Trudeau a new one for destroying Canada's immigration system. "The policies that he put in place which demolished the Canadian immigration system, threw the borders wide open, upending decades of effective immigration policy in Canada have caused a catastrophic crisis in the country. And now you could see that he was blaming that on educational institutions and bad corporate actors and that's exactly typical of him and his 14 year old mentality. Everything that's gone wrong on the immigration front in Canada is 100% attributable to Justin Trudeau and his pack of demented minions. So now it's gone so badly in Canada that he has no choice but to reverse course. And then to see him flailing around, to find someone to blame is exactly as pathetic as you'd expect from someone like him."

Gavin Newsom has self-deported to Canada. After collapsing in the 2028 presidential polls — Gavin seems to be running for Prime Minister. Why not? California and Canada are basically the same place… - Crippling cost of living crisis - Human Poop crisis - 3rd world Immigration nightmare - Housing and healthcare crisis Gavin and Trudeau are like step brothers. Trudeau wears blackface. Gavin wears ‘political blackface’ when talking to black people. Gavin was recalled. Trudeau was forced to resign. Both men have daddy issues. Best of all: Canada has assisted suicide. And Gavin just killed his political career. BONUS: Canada also has a lower GDP than Texas. And Gavin is used to losing to the Lone Star State…

CRA records show temporary residents received $1.35 billion in child benefits over four years 🇨🇦 The 2023 figures show temporary residents received more in child benefit payments than protected persons and refugees, who received $345.9 million that year. The CRA also reported nearly $18.9 million in payments to individuals classified as having "no status." Newly obtained Canada Revenue Agency records show temporary residents received more than $1.35 billion in Canada Child Benefit (CCB) payments between 2020 and 2023, including $369.1 million in 2023 alone. The figures were disclosed in response to an access-to-information request seeking a breakdown of Canada Child Benefit payments by immigration status. According to the records, temporary residents received $313.8 million in CCB payments in 2020, $356.3 million in 2021, $311.1 million in 2022, and $369.1 million in 2023, for a four-year total of approximately $1.35 billion. The 2023 figures show temporary residents received more in child benefit payments than protected persons and refugees, who received $345.9 million that year. The CRA also reported nearly $18.9 million in payments to individuals classified as having "no status." The Canada Child Benefit is a tax-free monthly payment intended to help eligible families with the cost of raising children. Eligibility is not limited to Canadian citizens. Certain temporary residents may qualify if they meet residency requirements and have valid immigration status. The records also show permanent residents received $6.29 billion in child benefit payments in 2023, while Canadian citizens received $18.76 billion. Total federal CCB spending that year exceeded $25.8 billion. CRA notes accompanying the records state that individuals listed under "No Status" and "Unknown" may still qualify for benefits if their spouse was a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, protected person, or temporary resident during the year. — Sheila Gunn Reid
