Canadian voters: Don't say you weren't warned!

Dear Canadian friends, please don't be snowed [Geddit? Ed.] by all the paid advertising -- 

and propagands from the lickspittle media, who are also bought and paid for -- about the new Dear Leader of the Liberal Party and unelected Prime Minister of Canada. 

His apologists are trying to paint him as a soft, sensible, middle-of-the-road statesman, an ultra-nice Canuck kid with no agenda other than saving the Great No-longer-white North from the evil Orange Man. Walt calls BS on all that!

The truth about Mr Carnage's plans to finish the job started by the Trudeaus (père et fils) and make Canada a part of the Davos gang's New World Order are to be found in his own words in his book Values.

Values reads like a sermon from a high priest of globalism... which, come to think of it, it is. It's "polished, preachy, and packed with ideas that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about Canada’s economy, especially Western energy producers.

"Writing as the former Bank of Canada governor and a darling of the Liberal elite, Carney pitches a vision of 'sustainable finance', net-zero absolutism, and heavy-handed regulation. To the National Citizens Coalition, it's clear: this isn't a roadmap to prosperity, it's a wrecking ball aimed at the heart of Canada’s resource sector and the West's economic lifeline."

Those quotes (and the graphic) are taken from "Carney's 'values' the wrong ones at the wrong time", posted on Blazing Cat Fur today. Opening the link will take  you to the original article by the National Citizens Council's Alexander Brown, which appeared in the Western Standard yesterday. Thanks to all concerned.

The Great Replacement is a fact... a CANADIAN fact...

and it's too late for you hosers to do anything about it! The damage has already been done by the extreme-woke Liberal government of Justin "Junior" Trudeau. It's all part of the Soros-authored Great Replacement plan, which is now a fait accompli.

So says Canadian advocate and writer Chris George, in "Trudeau Liberals’ immigration policies purposefully altering Canada", posted in the Niagara Independent on 31/5/24. Thanks to Agent 3 for capturing the URL! Let's begin with Mr George's list of disturbing statistics, which the Liberals can no longer conceal. Emphasis and parenthetical comments are Walt's.

The government’s open border policies are changing the ethnic composition of the country. Government data from Statistics Canada and the department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada tell us a number of things. 

1. In 2022 and 2023 Canada’s population grew by a record amount, more than one million-plus people each year.

2. In 2022 the country’s population growth rate was 2.7%, which is the highest rate in the world outside African countries. In 2023, it was even higher at 3.2%

3. Canada’s population has not grown at the current pace since the baby boom years in the late 1950s. Almost all (98%) of that growth came from migration.

4. According to the Canadian census, prior to 2015, immigration consisted of 28% coming from the UK/Europe, and today this number is only two per cent [That's right, only 2%.]

5. Today, Canada has the world’s largest intake of Third World migration – mostly from the continent of Africa. Nearly 98% of immigrants now come from India, China, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria, and various African countries.  

6. First- and second-generation immigrants now account for 44% of Canada's population, according to the 2021 census. 

7.  On 1 July 2015, Canada’s estimated population was 35,851,800.vOn 16 June 2023, Canada’s population surpassed the 40 million mark. Nine months later, on 28 March 2024, it surpassed 41 million.

The main point of Chris George's well-researched and well-argued article is that the Liberals’ immigration plan comes with an untold cost.

Marc Miller, the minister who's supposedly in charge, has commanded center stage in Ottawa over the past few weeks making a rash of new policy announcements. The changes being made to Canada’s immigration system will make it easier for newcomers to come into the country – seemingly without regard for either the costs to taxpayers or the strain placed on Canadians’ social contract. 

Last week, the government tabled legislation that extends birthright citizenship, allowing Canadians who live abroad to pass down "Canadian citizenship" to their children who may have been born outside the country and live abroad. This allows for a person who never has set foot in Canada to hold Canadian citizenship based on the citizenship of just one of their parents.

Also last week, M Miller announced that the government was increasing the temporary resident visa program for extended Palestinian family members in Gaza from 1000 to 5000 applicants. The special measures allow Gazans [including Hamas jihadis] who have relatives in Canada to move and stay in the country for up to three years.

[But wait, there's more...] M Miller then revealed that the federal cabinet is considering permitting migrants and illegal immigrants currently in Canada to gain permanent residence. This includes migrants without valid documents, including asylum seekers ordered to be deported, as well as former international students whose study permits have expired. This initiative will provide all current illegal immigrants an unconditional free pass. 

These latest policy announcements are an extension of the Trudeau government’s open border approach to attracting increasing numbers of newcomers to Canada. The latest immigration schedule announced in fall 2023 has Canada officially welcoming 485,000 new permanent residents this year, 500,000 in 2025, and another 500,000 in 2026. 

This is less than half the story, though, as government figures reveal 1,160,000 temporary residents came to Canada in the last 18 months and there may be more than 2,200,000 in the country. And in addition to this, Canada has accepted an increasing number of refugees and asylum seekers.

The Liberals’ immigration plan comes with an untold cost. Aside from the increased pressure on Canadians’ housing, health care and social services, which are hard to quantify, there are a host of associated costs required to support the newcomers and their daily living. Taxpayers never get a complete picture of costs, only snippets of details such as: Blacklock’s Reporter reported that room and board for illegal immigrants is costing a daily average of $224 per person, $81,760 per person per year, according to government records. 

Couple that news with the Migrant Rights Network estimating the number of illegals living in Canada could be anywhere between 20,000 to 500,000, and we can factor the annual cost of room and board for illegals from $1.6 billion to $40.5 billion.

Blacklock’s Reporter was the only news source to headline Statistics Canada data that reported in March of 2022 that "more than a third (35%) of government-assisted refugees remain on welfare a decade after landing in Canada."

An analysis of the data showed “higher welfare rates followed landmark 2001 changes to immigration law” when the Trudeau government dropped the requirement for foreigners to show proof of work skills and economic independence. Separate Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada data reveals that "Only 56% of government-assisted refugees were directly participating in the Canadian labour market." [That's government-speak for "only 56% were working or looking for work."]

Credit again goes to Blacklock’s Reporter for publishing government data that revealed, of the 2015 Syrian refugees brought into Canada by the Trudeau Liberals, half the total (50.4%) were still relying on social assistance after five years. Of the 2016 Syrian refugees the government welcomed, seven of ten (69.5%) refugees were still relying on social assistance four years after landing.

As expensive as financially supporting migrants is for taxpayers, Canadians are paying a greater cost with the societal disorder newcomers are bringing onto the streets of Canada’s cities. The Liberals’ commentary around Miller’s announcement regarding bringing thousands from Gaza into the country has been met with grave concerns about Canadians’ security. This has been underlined in the last few days with bullet-ridden schools in Toronto and Montreal, violent protests on campuses, and rallies that display open threatening hate-speech and rallying cries to "globalize the Intifada."

[Yesterday in Toronto, one person was killed and four wounded in a shooting "incident" in the Rexdale "hood". Today the University of Toronto will begin its commencement exercises. Graduands will have to walk around a pro-Hamas "encampment" which has occupied the front campus for weeks, while U of T's admin and police do nothing.]”

It is reasonable for Canadians to fear that the Hamas-supporting newcomers will join the growing street protests and make an already toxic situation worse, leaving all citizens compromised and Canadian Jews in an even more vulnerable position. (Consider why all other countries, including Arab neighbours, keep their borders closed to these people.) 

Just as the Trudeau Liberals remain unfazed by the crises in housing and health care caused in part by the growing numbers of immigrants, they remain unapologetic with their intention to bring more Gazans into Canada. Political pundit Spencer Fernando bluntly assessed, "The Liberals are knowingly importing radicalized anti-Semites, many of whom also despise the Western world and oppose Canadian Values….  If you are someone who loves Canada and believes in Western Values, Marc Miller has chosen to be your Enemy."

The National Citizens Coalition posted on X the following observation: "You don't bring in a million people during a housing shortage crisis, where we don't have enough family doctors, and say you're fixing the problem… For every day that Trudeau and Miller's desperate pivot to unchecked mass immigration grows more reckless, exploitative, and debilitating for generational problems of housing and healthcare, more and more Canadians are realizing they’ve had enough."

Quite apart from the chaos of the Palestinian-Hamas protests, there are daily news stories of around-the-block food bank lines, new tent cities being pitched, carjacking and street crimes, bank foreclosures, and overcrowded and closed ERs. The strain being applied on Canadians' social contract is now palpable.

Miller tells Canadians the government is extending citizenship, permitting illegals to stay in the country, and bringing in more Gazans. He’s signaled there will be more than a million newcomers ushered into the country again this year. Miller reassures us it’s all in the Trudeau Liberals’ immigration plan. 

[Another name for the Liberals' "immigration plan" is "Great Replacement plan". It's the one thing the Trudeau government has done as promised. But the promise wasn't made by Junior. It was made by his father, Emperor Trudeau I, when he seized the reins of power in 1968. "You won't recognize Canada when I'm done with it," was what he said. That one time (only), he wasn't lying.]

A Canuck replies: Canada has much to be proud of!

In response to our pre-Canada Day post, Agent 6 says that, although Canada someetimes feels like a third-world country [Canuckistan? Ed.], it has a lot to be proud of, to stand up for. Our agent refers us to "Standing up for Canada", an essay by Spencer Fernando of the National Citizens Coalition, which appeared on their site yesterday, Canada Day. It's worth reposting in full.

With Canadian Values & History Under Attack, Canadian Patriots Must Fight Back

Canada has much to be proud of.
We have built a technologically advanced nation. We have welcomed people from across the world into the Canadian family.

We have often lived up to the inheritance of western civilization and democracy that we were blessed with, building a country that offers a larger degree of freedom than almost any other nation.

We have fought on the side of freedom and justice in two world wars, and played a key role in the fight against fascism and communism.

For all those reasons and more, Canadians should feel proud of ourselves for the country we have built.

We should also feel proud of those who made all of this possible, including our first Prime Minister John A. Macdonald. If Canada is a great country today, then it couldn’t have happened without those who helped create the country in the first place. While no historical leaders look perfect in the context of the modern world, they must be judged relative to other world leaders, and in that regard, the Fathers of Confederation come out far ahead.

And yet, despite these obvious reasons to feel proud of Canada, the reality is that Canadian patriotism and history is under attack like never before.

This is an attack from within, pushed largely by radical far-left ‘academics’ who teach nothing but hatred for everything Canada stands for, demonize our history, promote communism, give a free pass to China, and seek to purposely divide everyone along race, gender, and tribe.

They have indoctrinated many, and the indoctrination continues. Many of those academics are outright communists and marxists, and are somehow allowed to push that horrendous agenda while working at public institutions largely funded by your tax dollars.

Their indoctrination creates the kind of thinking that leads a sitting PM to claim Canada is currently committing genocide, and pushes our elites to think that the brutal Chinese Communist Party is somehow a moral equivalent of our democratic allies.

It’s the kind of thinking that leads the Chronicle Herald to issue a disgraceful trigger warning about the Canadian flag, as if they should be concerned someone would be ‘upset’ by seeing the flag of our nation.

It’s the kind of thinking that leads the City of Calgary to have been fine with large protests earlier in June, while issuing a warning that Canada Day events will be “shut down.”

And it’s the kind of thinking that leads the City of Regina – in a province where Conservatives won 14 out of 14 seats, to talk about the Sir John A. Macdonald statue representing “a harmful legacy to members of our community,” and saying they are “reaching out for guidance on responding to harmful legacies.”

If a statue of John A. Macdonald can be on thin ice even in a deeply Conservative province, that tells us how far the radicals have gone in their infiltration of institutions and their growing control over the narrative.

As we watch all of this, it’s easy to think that it’s just some temporary craziness that will go away. But it won’t.

The radicals are seeking to rule by fear, pushing the most extreme agenda while denouncing anyone who disagrees as a ‘racist.’ They count on regular, good, patriotic Canadians like us to just hope it all disappears and ‘goes back to normal.’ While we wait, they push and push and push, seeking to overturn everything and replace it with the 'woke inquisition' of guilt, chaos, and violence.

They seek to turn patriotism into a taboo, and try to falsely convince people that Canada’s history is all bad with no redeeming qualities. Of course, if we lose our history, if our nation is demonized, and if patriotism is demolished, then Canada’s future will be disastrous.

A country that forgets its foundation, forgets its values, and stops defending itself will soon lose that which made it special, and all those things we are proud of will not endure.
That’s why those of us who are proud of Canada, those of us who are patriotic Canadians must fight back.

We need to stand against attempts to remove statues of our historic leaders.
We need to push back online and in person when we see people trying to divide Canada and demean our history with marxist rhetoric.

We must draw attention to the fact that all these groups pushing radical ideas don’t represent Canadian values, but in fact represent the same kind of radical leftist extremism that has led to so much destruction and violence around the world.
And we must be confident enough to recognize that we have every right to be proud of Canada and to be Canadian patriots.

On Canada Day, we must recognize that an ideological battle is underway, and rededicate ourselves to stopping the subversion of our nation. We must ensure that all we have built is not destroyed by those who hate our country.
