Controlling the Chaos

A country is built on citizens, people willing to re-invent themselves in order to live out the dream of living in a new land, not people who use the country as an airport to sponge off of the hard-working, to air their many grievances and bring their old hatreds with them.

A country is also not a place where a handful benefit off of cheap or slave labour.

But that is what Canada is now - a place of cheapened residence and a tinderbox of any hatred or vitriol you can name.

Witness:

The RCMP is bracing for a possible influx of asylum seekers trying to enter Canada’s borders and says it has learned lessons from the last time Donald Trump was in the Oval Office.

While questions remain about how Trump’s campaign pledge to deport upwards of 11 million people he says are in the country illegally could take shape after the Republican president-elect assumes office in January, Canadian authorities say they have “worked through” scenarios of a sudden surge at unofficial points of entry.

 

Or - hear me out  - you can simply never let them into the country in the first place. 

Also - no one wants you and you're not going to like your share of the national debt, the costs of living, the weather, the crime, the drug addicts ... :

Vancouver immigration lawyer Ryan Rosenberg says he’s been getting so many inquiries from disaffected U.S. voters that he set up a website to address their concerns.

It’s called “Trumpugees.ca” and asks visitors on the home page: “Tired of Trump? Thinking about Canada? We can help.”

Rosenberg — a managing partner at Larlee Rosenberg, Barristers & Solicitors — says he and his colleagues are sensing a spike in immigration interest from a broad swath of U.S. residents disappointed by Donald Trump’s election win Tuesday.

Ottawa has modified its visitor visa regulations, putting an end to automatic 10-year multiple-entry visas.

The change will not impact visas that have already been issued, but it will affect all new applications submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the updated government guidelines say.

“For multiple-entry visas, officers may decide to issue the visa with a validity period shorter than the maximum 10 years,” the post says.

 

Smoke and mirrors.

This:

A total 200,000 fewer foreign students were let into Canada this fall compared to last year, says the Department of Immigration. Managers would not say how many existing foreign study permit holders remain in the country including dropouts and refugee claimants: “How many?”

Since we're playing blame games today, here's a clip from June 24, 2021 where 3 leaders of @CI2100 argue that Feds should expand economic-class PR pathways to low-skill workers to make it easier for employers to recruit temporary foreign workers without needing to raise wages. pic.twitter.com/IYBWimTasF

 Yay, ethnic conflict!:

Last weekend a foreign conflict spilled out onto Canadian streets as Khalistani activists, a small subset of the Sikh diaspora who want to see India’s Punjab region  become an independent Sikh state, held rallies outside Hindu temples across the country. They were protesting Indian consular officials being hosted at their places of worship.

The demonstrations came amidst heightened tensions between Canada and India, following incredible allegations from the Canadian government involving interference and assassinations levelled against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.

Videos posted to X showed Khalistani extremists breaching the Hindu Sabha Mandir temple property in Brampton, Ont., and chasing Hindu counter-protesters who had shown up to defend their place of worship. Footage also showed opposing groups exchanging blows and striking one another with flagpoles.

Later that evening, members of the Hindu community held a counter-protest at the Mississauga’s Westwood Mall, where a police officer attempting to control the crowd was injured. Pro-India Hindus also staged a protest in front of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Malton, a Sikh place of worship in Mississauga.

Similar scenes were seen in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday. The violence carried on into Monday night.

The Israel-Hamas war has also sparked unrest on Canadian streets.

Pro-Hamas demonstrations have occurred weekly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, with protesters chanting slogans like “Long live October 7th,” and “Long live the Intifada,” as well as “Explode the head of zionists,” “Death to Canada,” and others praising Hamas leadership. Anti-Israel protesters in Canada have targeted Jewish synagogues, Jewish community centres, and Jewish neighbourhoods.

 

Rubbish.

You are eschewing merit for political eye candy and the population will suffer as a result:

Toronto Metropolitan University has made some changes to the “aspirational language” describing the admissions policy for its new medical school, insisting there was never a quota system in place for who it would accept.

The changes come a week after Premier Doug Ford demanded Ontario’s newest medical school educate qualified individuals “regardless of their race or background,” amid backlash over the school’s plan to loosen academic qualifications and screen out prospective students by race or status.
