By the Numbers: Canada is Allowing Way More Than 500,000 into Canada - Last Year Alone 645,000 Work Permits Were Issued

 And the impact to employment levels (almost 50% higher than the 3.5% in the US), average wage levels, housing, healthcare services, ongoing inflation, etc. from our transparent, facts, evidence and science based NDPLiberals?

 "...Between January and October 2022, Canada issued over 645,000 work permits. This is nearly four times more than the 163,000 issued over the same period in 2021.

The measure will last for the next two years and includes working-age children, 16 and older, of principal applicants of all skill levels. This includes families of workers in healthcare, trades, and hospitality. It is estimated that this program will make it possible for the families of more than 200,000 foreign workers to enter Canada’s workforce..."

"...The federal government failed to spend tens of billions of dollars in the last fiscal year on promised programs and services, including new military equipment, affordable housing and support for veterans.

Federal departments are blaming a variety of factors for letting a record total of $38 billion in funding lapse in 2021-22, including delays and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

They also say much of the money remains available for future years..."

Sir John A versus Pierre Trudeau: First Nations

 ".. Trudeau’s document was withdrawn a year later. Far from contrite, he delivered one of his patented insults: “We’ll keep them in the ghetto as long as they want,” he shrugged. If Sir John A. Macdonald is to be condemned, certainly Trudeau and Chrétien deserve no less, given they had an additional century of history and experience to draw on, and the knowledge, learning and insight that presumably entailed. Macdonald acted on the best advice available at the time, as did those who followed him. His thinking was rooted in 19th century cultural mores. What was Trudeau’s excuse?"

"...The union representing 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees is seeking wage increases that total almost 30 per cent over three years.

The Union of Taxation Employees has asked the CRA for a three-year wage increase of 20.5 per cent, in addition to a one-time wage adjustment of nine per cent to account for a long-standing wage imbalance with Canada Border Services Agency employees who administer the Excise Act.

The union’s proposal calls for annual increases of 4.5 per cent, eight per cent and eight per cent during a three-year contract.

Canada's Birth Tourism: The First Baby Born in Vancouver Was to Two Egyptian Parents That Had Never Set Foot In Canada

 As a sign of just how prevalent birth tourism has become in Vancouver, the city’s first baby of 2023 was born to a birth tourist. Hana Amr Fouad was born just before 3 a.m. on New Year’s Day at Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Hospital, according to a profile in Vancouver Is Awesome. Baby Hana’s parents are both Egyptian nationals who have never previously been to Canada, but they arranged for a Vancouver birth so that the baby would obtain instant Canadian citizenship under the country’s “jus soli” laws. “We chose Canada because the Canadian passport is better,” said Hana’s father Amr Fouad, explaining that it was a choice between Canada or the U.S. Several hundred such births occur in the Vancouver area every year. Richmond Hospital, in particular, has reported that as many as one quarter of its birthing mothers are non-residents looking to secure Canadian citizenship for their baby.

More Reasons to Make Immigration an Independent Body Rather Than Subject to Whimsical, Reckless Government Policies to Gain Another Term

 Another reason to render independence to the Ministry of Immigration (similar to the Bank of Canada, Courts) from whimsical, reckless government policies and virtuous vote buying.

"...McKinsey & Co. — a multi-billion dollar global consultancy firm with five locations in Canada —only scored the occasional contract with the Canadian federal government in the years preceding the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In the seven years since, Radio-Canada investigators uncovered $66 million in mostly sole-sourced McKinsey contracts, including $24.5 million to provide “management advice” to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

The number of new Canadians coming in each year had steadily risen throughout the 2000s, ultimately peaking above 250,000 in 2015, the last year of the Conservative government of Stephen Harper. But that figure has since expanded considerably, reaching 431,645 new permanent residents in 2022. It’s a quantity of immigrants that surpasses even the meteoric heights seen during the years immediately preceding the First World War, when hundreds of thousands of European immigrants were moved in to homestead the prairies..."

"...The Phoenix pay system debacle was quite rightly called “an international embarrassment” by a Senate report five years ago. Most Canadians probably assume the failures that resulted in pay problems for 80 per cent of the federal government’s 300,000 public servants have been resolved.

But that is not the case. In fact, things are getting worse.

Sources tell the Post that Public Services and Procurement Canada, the department responsible for Phoenix, has asked for an extra $500 million to “stabilize” the problem in the face of a rising backlog of cases. Last year, government expenditure on Phoenix was $713.7 million across all departments, according to Treasury Board’s departmental results report. In 2019, the Parliamentary Budget Office estimated the cost of correcting Phoenix’s data problems at $2.6 billion. That now looks like an underestimate..."
