In its budget, the government has just announced that it will bring 15,000 elderly parents and grandparents each year, under the family reunification program.
That’s 15,000 elderly people a year putting pressure on our hospitals and social services. And they get citizenship, no language test required.
Then they can vote for the politicians who pander to ethnic interests. We are losing our country. Surrey is a foreign nation on our soil.

I had an opportunity to spend a week in the U.S., and I made a few observations.
We often hear Canadians proudly say, “We’re not like Americans.” But I’m curious about what we mean by that, and why we assume it is something to congratulate ourselves about.
The first thing I noticed was pride in their country. American flags everywhere! A sense that loving your country does not depend on who happens to be in power.
In Canada, we have seen the flag treated as controversial one moment and encouraged the next. Apparently, we need to check the political mood before deciding whether we can proudly fly our own flag. If we need permission to show pride in our country, what else have we learned to ask permission for?
So if pride in their country is one of the things that makes Americans different, that’s something I would welcome more of here.
I also noticed more personal autonomy and confidence. People seemed comfortable making their own decisions and standing behind their beliefs. Political disagreements? Plenty. But nobody I spoke with seemed to need permission to have an opinion.
When did walking on eggshells become a Canadian virtue? If Americans are more comfortable speaking their minds, why would we pride ourselves on being different?
There also seemed to be less expectation that government should have an answer for everything. People help themselves, help their neighbours and take responsibility for what comes next, without assuming government will step in and sort it all out.
Is that really something we want to distance ourselves from? Independence and personal responsibility sound good to me.
Taken all together, what I noticed was less fear. More willingness to try something, take a chance and live with some uncertainty. A confidence that you can figure things out as you go, even when you have to.
Are these qualities we should distance ourselves from?
I want Canadians to be informed, prepared and confident in their own judgment. Ask questions. Understand the risks. Take chances. Succeed. Fail. Learn and grow.
But for goodness’ sake, LIVE. We cannot let fear make every decision for us and expect government to fix everything.
So tell me: why is it so important to keep announcing that “we’re not like Americans”? What exactly are we congratulating ourselves on?
Give me something more than “we’re nicer.” When people are smeared, labelled and pushed out for expressing different views about this country, can we really say that with a straight face?
Besides, I met some pretty nice people down there too.

Congratulations Canada 🇨🇦 !
The Liberal government signed another immigration agreement with a 3rd world country.
While Canadian youth have double digit unemployment, Liberals agreed to line up employment for Kenyan youth and load up our overloaded welfare system with more refugees.
Kenya couldn't believe their luck that they get to dump their poorest into Canada.

🇮🇳🛬🇨🇦🪦 : In 2022 three men broke into a home in Canada, suffocated the husband with a bag over his head, duct taped the wife's mouth & used a screwdriver to kill her, after they beat her.
A BC judge ruled not allowing the three men to apply for early parole, was cruel & unusual punishment. See quotes below & link for more information.
"Justice Brenda Brown ruled Monday that the section of the Criminal Code prescribing 25 years of parole ineligibility infringes upon the Charter of Rights and Freedoms' guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment."
"Khushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh — each in their 20s — all face mandatory life sentences for killing the De Jongs in their Abbotsford home in May 2022."
77-year-old Arnold De Jong & 76-year-old Joanne De Jong, were the victims of torture and then murdered by thugs in their 20s.

One of the murderers had only been in Canada for 1 month, on a student visa.

Canada just lost 114,700 jobs in three months. Unemployment has climbed to 6.7%, and youth unemployment is sitting at 13.7%.
Meanwhile, Mark Carney’s latest budget maintains a target of 380,000 permanent resident admissions annually and creates up to 200,000 additional permanent residency spaces for 2027.
Now, before someone starts throwing around misleading numbers, those additional 200,000 spaces are for people already living in Canada. They are not 200,000 new arrivals.
But that doesn’t let the government off the hook.
I’ve studied enough economics to understand that increasing the labour supply does not automatically increase prosperity.
Economic growth depends on productivity, capital investment, infrastructure, innovation and the ability of businesses to create productive employment.
You cannot keep expanding the labour force and assume living standards will improve simply because the country’s total GDP gets bigger.
GDP per capita matters. Real wages matter. Housing affordability matters. And having a job that actually pays the bills matters.
There is also an uncomfortable economic reality politicians rarely discuss. Employers can benefit from access to a larger labour pool, particularly when it reduces pressure to raise wages or invest in productivity-enhancing equipment. Workers don’t necessarily share those benefits equally.
Immigration can strengthen Canada when it addresses genuine labour shortages and contributes to higher productivity. But the numbers must reflect our economic capacity, not political ambitions or corporate demands.
And here’s what bothers me most.
Statistics Canada reports that private-sector employment fell by 53,000 in October while public-sector employment increased by 50,000.
That should concern anyone who understands where sustainable economic growth comes from.
We need more private investment, more productive businesses, better opportunities for young Canadians and immigration levels tied to measurable economic needs.
I don’t measure economic success by how many people a government brings into Canada.
I measure it by whether the people already living here, including newcomers, can build a better life.
Right now, Ottawa has some serious explaining to do.

🔥🚨THE CENTRAL (DIGITAL) BANK IN PARAGUAY COLLAPSED.
Millions have NO access to any of their money, savings, investments, or old age security.
POOF!! GONE.
This is what Carney is trying to set up in Canada.
HE MUST BE STOPPED.
(Trusting a banker as a PM is like trusting a fat kid wont eat the M&M that you left on the table.)

🇨🇦🧓💰📈 : Paul Kershaw, founder of Generation Squeeze, blames Old Age Security payments to seniors, for poverty among Canadian youth.
💳Paul doesn't mention the billions Canada doles out in nonsense foreign aid, for things like gender affirming rice in the Asia Pacific, or gender affirming housing in the Dominican Republic.
🇫🇷 Paul goes on to say students are already striking and forming protest groups here in Canada. Comparing their movement to the one fueling riots in Europe. Specifically France.
🏘️ Paul doesn't blame Mark Carney for borrowing $25 billion in 2025 to rapidly build homes in Canada at a record pace, only to see housing starts plummet.
🧓 Smearing seniors as a burden to young Canadians is evil.
🤷 The government has blown hundreds of billions of dollars, with nothing to show for it but the interest on the debt.

UM, CANADA...
We have a VERY serious fucking problem here - especially when there are NO REPAYMENT terms for the $26 Billion that Canada has given him.
ZELENSKYY IS AS CORRUPT AS THEY COME.

‼️MAJOR BREAKING
New polling shows that Canada has become one of the most anti-immigration nations on earth
...only 8% of Canadians supporting more immigration.
They shoved it down our throats, called us racist for asking for homes, and this is the EXTREME backlash.
Mick ♦️♦️♦️ retweeted
This is or should be the number one issue! Nobody wants higher immigration. It’s lunacy! Our country simply cannot sustain anymore people. Our healthcare is overrun, there is no housing, no infrastructure etc etc. Carney is out of control. He must be thwarted!
Mick ♦️♦️♦️ retweeted
Canada needs an immediate moratorium on all immigration for the next 10 years until this mess gets sorted out, and ALL existing temporary visas should be canceled or at least not renewed when they expire.
Mick ♦️♦️♦️ retweeted
Do not relent on this issue.
Keep failing up the pressure.
This is Carney’s Achilles Heel.

2026: 1,150,000 more immigrants
Carney claim he cut...
...foreign Students by 80%
...Asylum Seekers 70%
...Temporary Foreign Workers 60%
...Permanent Residents 20%
How then - over the course of just 365 days - we imported the equivalent of Ottawa into Canada.
We import so many people, that if you put them altogether, they would make up one of the largest cities in the country.
As per budget 2026:

Agree. The budget is terrible but this immigration policy puts Canada at extreme risk of following the EU and Briton's fall into an abyss.
Mick ♦️♦️♦️ retweeted
The biggest unreported story from yesterday: Carney snuck into the budget a massive immigration increase with the LARGEST NUMBER OF NEW PERMANENT RESIDENTS EVER next year.
Nearly 200,000 more than Trudeau’s highest-ever number year. When we have a shortage of jobs, homes, and health care.
Now we know why Carney snuck his immigration plan into a budget when everyone was distracted by the midterms and right before Parliament shuts for 10 days.
Unacceptable. This needs a real debate.
