Pollution Versus CO2 - What is Natural And What is Taxable:: Who Said This?

 "...as Canadians we have a duty to be responsible stewards of our unique and awe-inspiring ecosystems.

But the entire conversation around the environment has been hijacked by leftist radicals and climate alarmists!

They’ve become a Doomsday Cult hyper-focused on one thing: carbon emissions.

I have news for these bleeding heart eco-radicals…

CO2 is not pollution!

It’s what you exhale when you breathe. It’s food for plants.

Increased CO2 in our atmosphere has even had positive effects on the environment.

It has led to a greening effect globally. More plant food means more plants!

Instead of crippling our economy in a vain attempt to control the weather, we should be focused on tangible solutions to protect our water, air, and soil.

To preserve our great wilderness for future generations of Canadians!..."

Islamic Finance and Mortgages in Canada: A Scam and Pandora's Box Waiting to Happen

"...We have to add a 1.5 per cent margin to cover our costs, so effectively, that makes our mortgage about four per cent more expensive than the RBC or Scotiabank five-year mortgage, as an example," he said..."

"...According to Statistics Canada, out of more than 1.7 million Muslims, more than 800,000 live in a "tenant-occupied dwelling" rather than owning the home they live in...."

"...Many mortgage insurance providers do not insure Islamic mortgages as a rule, because the legal structures can be different depending on the provider.

While a 2010 report for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said Islamic financial products should not "present any particular difficulties" under Canadian accounting standards, years later they are still far from widespread and there are legal issues that come into play such as who is registered on land titles, and whether a rent-to-own contract is subject to landlord and tenant legislation in various provinces..."

Despite the NDPLiberals' Promises of Higher Immigration, Numbers and targets, the federal government cannot even comprehend nor process given its current workforce and resources in addition to the nearly ~2 million applicants backlog

 "...The most recent census revealed that immigrants now make up their largest-ever share of Canada’s total population (23%), beating a record that had previously been set 100 years ago...."

Despite the NDPLiberals' Promises of Higher Immigration, Numbers and targets that the federal government cannot even comprehend nor process given its current workforce and resources in addition to the nearly ~2 million applicants backlog. 

"...Additionally, IRCC has received $85 million in additional funding to “reduce application inventories” and has, between March 2019 and November 2022, increased “front-line operations staff” by 2,521 employees. The hope remains that these factors will continue positively impacting IRCC’s service standards and application backlog in 2023..."

Not to mention 106,500, or almist one in four, allowed legal entry to Canada just because there is a family member here already - how does this help the employment situation?

"...By immigration category, the 2023 Immigration Levels Plan target (465,000) breaks down as follows.

Express Entry: 82,880

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP): 105,500

Parents and Grandparents: 28,500

Spouses/Partners and Children: 78,000..."

And with a change and with 500,000 foreign students now able to work over 20 hours per week the government is aiming to reduce wages.

"....In October, IRCC announced an amendment to its off-campus work hours policy for international students in Canada.

From November 15, 2022, until the end of 2023, “international students who are in Canada and have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will be allowed to work over 20 hours per week off-campus while class is in session.

Designed to help Canada better deal with labour shortages, as Canada faces “historic labour shortages and an unemployment rate which is low by historical standards”, this change will potentially allow over half of a million international students to work more hours while they attend their classes between now and the end of next year..."

The Biggest Scam: Under the Guise of "Immigration", 620,000 Foreign Study Permit Holders in Canada Allowed to Work "More Than 20 Hours Per Week" Yet Little Regard for Housing, Transit Challenges in Small Towns (Imagine What That Means When 1.5 Million Arrive Under A National NDPLiberal Program in Four Major Cities)

 "...At the end of 2021, there were more than 620,000 study permit holders in Canada from abroad..." posing housing and public transit challenges  in areas such as Sydney, NS/Cape Breton U. And now allowed to work more than the previously defined 20 hours. 

"...However, unlike the permanent residency program, there are no targets for study permit holders. Postsecondary schools can admit as many foreign students as they wish. Ontario colleges are notable for jacking up admissions numbers..."

The Magic and Empathy of Unions: VIA Train Could Have Been Aided amd Sent On Its Way Much Earlier But Rescue Crew Had to Stop Due to..."Allowable Hours of Hours Worked"

 "...At 12:50 a.m., her parents texted to say another train was on its way to pull the stranded Train 51, but as it neared a CN freight train was stopped on the track, preventing the Via train from getting into position for a tow. Meanwhile, a crew had come to clear the fallen tree but had to stop when they reached their allowable limit of hours worked..."

A View of the Liberals, MPs in Ethics Violations and Their Timely Born-On-Christmas-Day Leader...

 "...The Liberals believe they are god’s gift to the world and can do no wrong and Trudeau thinks he’s the messiah. Why not, he’s born on Christmas, right?

Alas, they won’t resign or fall on their swords. That requires a level of character that they will never possess.

People who still support the Liberals need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if they can keep supporting an increasingly authoritarian party that is the political equivalent of a cross between a Monty Python sketch and Orwell’s 1984..."

Of the Aggressive Immigration Numbers Over the Next Three Years, How Many Are Actually Canadian Citizens?

 Only 251,000 actually citizens 

"...The largest number of applications processed falls under the temporary residence category. IRCC processed nearly 700,000 work permits and 670,000 study permits in 2022. Canada also welcomed approximately 251,000 new citizens between April and November..."

Let Us Count Only the Year End Ways (Reasons) Why the Liberals Should NOT be Governing Even With The NDP: Minister Mary Ng, Looking Tough but Running Away From China, Foreign Election Interference, Ethics and Integrity Challenges...

 All the Liberals had to do was keep their nose clean heading into year end, but...no. 

"...Clearly, this isn’t a normal government. This is a minority government that governs like a majority, propped up by a third party, the NDP, that will never pull the trigger for fear of faring even worse in the next election. This is a government that blunders along, believing that it can spend with impunity, take credit for the NDP’s ideas and, when the moment is right, call an election and buy itself another mandate at the taxpayers’ expense.

Worse, this is a government that is failing to defend Canada’s national security interests. Mary Ng is just the tip of a terrible iceberg..."

A decades long, failing immigration system of a chronically over-aging and under skilled population with little regard for impacts to housing, healthcare, pensions, employment, four overly concentrated major cities and social programs...and the Liberals come up with this?

Let's See What the Inflation Rates Are in a Year or Two After NDPLiberals' Inflationary Policies of Carbon Taxes Immigration Changes

Finally, Sone Healthcare Data...By the Numbers

 ...“Canada’s health-care system was not built to meet the challenges of our aging population. Canada’s Medicare system was established to deal largely with acute, episodic care for a relatively young population,” says the Canadian Medical Association. “Today our system struggles to properly care for patients — many of whom are elderly — managing complex and ongoing health issues. Approximately 75-80 per cent of Canadian seniors report having one or more chronic conditions.”

The CMA issued that warning seven years ago, arguing that not only is our system poorly designed to handle the massive wave of seniors, but that it wasn’t built for seniors at all. Most experts agree that if reforms are not enacted today, delaying the hard decisions will make it more difficult to ensure the viability of public health care."

How Many Different Methods Can the NDPLiberals Increase Immigration? Let Us Count the Wsys - Now Temporary Forign Workers Allowed To Bring Family Members (With little regard to housing affordability, overly extended health care system, looming recession, skills required, aging population/impacts on government pension plans, increasing interest rate cycle, supply chain issues from an overly demanded under supplied economy post-covid, the NDPLiberals double down and open the doors even more on the institution of immigration)

 It's about time immigration was taken out of the hands of government and made an independent body like the Courts, Bank of Canada rather than being the subject of virtue signalling and vote buying political parties. 

The NDPLiberals double down and open the doors even more on the institution of immigration with little regard to housing affordability, an overly extended health care system, a looming recession, changing labour skills required, an aging population/impacts on government pension plans, an increasing interest rate cycle, current near record inflation and supply chain issues from an overly demanded and under supplied economy post-covid. With a cozy round, even number of 200,000, how much thought or even "science, fact, evidence, data" from this "transparent" government went into that?

Labour shortages are temporary.  but Immigration and most of the factors above are for a generation...and then some. 

"...This is going to allow more than 200,000 workers who have family members in Canada, or that will be coming to Canada to continue to be with their loved ones, and work while they’re here to support themselves,” he said.

The program will run for two years and allow spouses and adult children of people in Canada on work permits to receive permits of their own..."

Diane Francis: Finally Someone Has Said the Obvious Plainly, Factually, Mathematicallly About Immigration and Health Care

 Not to mention the ill thought impacts on housing, transportation needs, decreasing use of French and French speakers, a looming recession, already overly demanded goods and services due to supply chain issues resulting impacts on inflation.

"...Canada’s health-care system is still reeling from the ravages of COVID-19 and is suffering from a shortage of doctors, nurses and hospital beds. And yet, our Liberal government announced a plan at the beginning of November to admit around 1.5 million new immigrants into the country over the next three years — roughly equivalent to the population of Calgary. This plan will only serve to put even more strain on our already overtaxed health system.

The BBC noted that the plan “would see Canada welcome about eight-times the number of permanent residents each year — per population — than the U.K., and four-times more than” the United States..."
