Crystal Ball of Canadian Politics for 2023: Likely No Election Due to NDPLiberals Popularity

 "...What’s in store for Canadian politics in 2023? It’s impossible to say with any certainty, but there are surely a few clues lying in wait....To begin with, don’t hold your breath for a federal election. The chances of this happening seem highly unlikely.

The Conservatives have been leading the Liberals in the polls since late August (with the exception of two November-based Nanos Research polls). Poilievre has consistently outshone Trudeau in the House of Commons, and continues to increase his personal appeal. The Liberals have tried everything in their power to dissuade Canadians about Poilievre’s momentum..."

Scary:A Look at Our Over Reaching and Over Interpretive Supreme Court of Canada

 Scary. From striking g to assisted suicide to cross border beer sales to absence of consecutive life sentences and weak "catch and release" bail laws

"...if there’s a massive political controversy gripping the country, there’s a good chance that the Supreme Court of Canada had something to do with it... But in just the last 10 years, Canada’s top court has been on an activist streak that has begun to profoundly affect Canadian daily life. Below, a not-at-all comprehensive list of the times that a new Charter right discovered by the Supreme Court of Canada has yielded a cascade of unintended consequences for Canadian society..."

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..."
