Drug Bust in Ontario
Immigration status, please.
While the British Columbia provincial NDP divides Canadians between indigenous and non-indigenous, OneBC believes in unity. We’re ALL Canadian and only Canadian, with equal rights and no special privileges.
This NDP government has been stopping economic development with the justification of First Nations people when their own policies are hurting the First Nations community.
We need prosperity for all not poverty for all, but the NDP thinks that everything will be better if we are all equally poor.
A Good Idea: Immigration & IQ
Canadians distrust refugees more than other new arrivals, poll shows
Trust in refugees was lower among immigrants than non-immigrants and lower among non-white respondents than white

More Canadian residents distrust refugees than trust them, with the lowest levels of trust in refugees expressed by immigrants and non-whites, according to a new national public opinion poll.
The polling data comes as recent changes in the federal government’s immigration policies designed to reduce new arrivals in Canada seems to be hitting refugee claimants the hardest.
Among all respondents to the poll, conducted by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies, 43 per cent said they distrusted refugees and 36 per cent said they trusted refugees. Another 21 per cent said they didn’t know or declined to answer.
The poll also found that more respondents trusted immigrants than distrusted them, a result suggesting Canadians have distinct views of different types of new arrivals to the country: 46 per cent of respondents said they trusted immigrants and 37 per cent said they distrusted them, while 17 per cent didn’t know or didn’t answer.
A refugee is someone who is fleeing their home country seeking protection from war, violence or persecution. An immigrant is someone who moves to another country to settle permanently.
The poll indicating lower trust in those arriving as refugee claimants over those arriving as immigrant applicants reflects a disproportionate drop in those seeking asylum in Canada, according to an analysis of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada data by the Association for Canadian Studies that accompanies the poll results.

In the first eight months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, refugee claimants to Canada plummeted by 32.7 per cent while economic immigrants dropped by 18.6 per cent and family sponsorship immigrants dropped by 8.1 per cent, the analysis says.

Those percentages correspond to a decline in the number of immigrants entering the system of 16,700 refugee claimants, 39,245 economic immigrants, and 5,635 family sponsorship immigrants.
“The numbers of asylum claimants has gone into a veritable free fall,” the analysis says.
The drop in asylum claims from migrants seeking refugee protection is distributed among all countries, except for Haiti.
Asylum claims by people arriving from Haiti — which is experiencing significant gang violence, civil unrest, and poverty — increased by 130 per cent. At the same time, asylum claims dropped, for example, by people from Bangladesh (82 per cent), Sri Lanka (79 per cent), Ghana (68 per cent), and India (59 per cent).
The analysis also shows a massive drop in airport asylum claims of 76 per cent in the first eight months of this year over the same period last year. There was a 27 per cent drop in inland claims and 62 per cent increase in land border claims.
Jack Jedwab, president of the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies, sees a connection between dropping refugee claims and the poll’s finding of distrust for refugees.
“There was considerable asymmetry to the cuts to overall immigration that saw much larger percentages in reductions to refugees over the 2024 to 2025 period,” Jedwab said. “It seems as though many Canadians believe that there are many asylum claims that are not legitimate, thus fuelling greater distrust in refugees.
“In previous surveys we’ve done there was much less dissonance and lesser distinction in either trust or positive sentiment towards immigrants and refugees, but we’re now seeing a widening gap between the two, owing, in my view, to a growing perception that many claims are not valid and thus raising questions about the admission process.”
Perhaps counterintuitively, trust in refugees was lower among respondents who identified themselves as immigrants (28 per cent) than non-immigrants (38 per cent). Trust for refugees was also lower among non-white respondents (26 per cent) than whites (39 per cent).
Immigrant respondents had only slightly more trust in other immigrants (47 per cent) than non-immigrants did (45 per cent).
On the survey question about trusting refugees: More men than women said they distrust refugees (49 per cent versus 36 per cent, with a higher percentage of women declining to answer). The youngest (ages 18 to 24) and the oldest (age 65 and over) tended to trust refugees the most, but, overall, age divisions didn’t show wide variation.
On the question about trusting immigrants, demographic patterns of respondents were similar: More men than women said they distrust immigrants (41 per cent versus 34 per cent, and, again, a higher percentage of women declined to answer). The youngest and oldest showed the highest levels of trust in immigrants.
t
Geographically, trust in refugees was lowest in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, which are pooled together by the pollsters, at 31 per cent, and Ontario at 33 per cent; trust in refugees was highest in Quebec and Alberta, both at 42 per cent.
Trust in immigrants was lowest in Manitoba and Saskatchewan (37 per cent) and in Quebec (41 per cent), and highest in Atlantic Canada (53 per cent) and Alberta (50 per cent).

International students were trusted by 44 per cent of respondents while distrusted by 35 per cent. Distrust was again higher among men (41 per cent) than among women (29 per cent) with more women not providing an answer.
Refugee advocates said polling data should be approached with caution.
“We regularly see that polls produce different results depending on how the question is framed, and people’s answers are also impacted by the narratives they see being replicated in the media and by political leaders,” said Gauri Sreenivasan, a co-executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, a long-time refugee advocacy organization.
“Canadians consistently place a high value on welcoming newcomers and a culture of inclusion,” Sreenivasan said. “We call on our political leaders not to divide us through messages that pit communities against each other. We need to work together to secure a future where every family has safety.”
Adam Sadinsky, an advocacy co-chair for the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers and a Toronto-are lawyer at Silcoff Shacter, said a robust refugee determination system protecting those in need is important to meet Canada’s international and constitutional obligations.
“In recent years we have seen politicians and others use untrue or misleading rhetoric to divide and confuse the public on the issue of immigration. Canada’s immigration system has multiple equal objectives, including economic immigration, family reunification, and refugee protection.”
The online poll questioned 1,537 adults in Canada from Oct. 24 to 26. As a non-probability sample in a panel survey traditional margins of error do not apply. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of the same size would have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20. (NATIONAL POST, November 18, 2025)

JD Vance BLASTS Canada’s mass immigration agenda
U.S. Vice President JD Vance says Canada’s declining living standards stem from its own immigration policies and leadership choices — not from President Trump or American politics.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance is warning Canadians not to blame Donald Trump or American politics for Canada’s declining living standards. Responding to new economic data, Vance says Canada’s stagnation is the result of its own leadership choices and decades of uncontrolled immigration, noting that Canada now has the highest foreign-born population share in the G7.

Meanwhile, the fight over a potential Alberta–Ottawa pipeline agreement is intensifying. B.C. Premier David Eby claims Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Carney government are holding talks “behind his back,” warning that lifting the northern tanker ban would undercut coastal First Nations support and threaten B.C.’s project approvals.
Despite the political headwinds, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she is still optimistic, though more technical work is needed before her government can formally submit a proposal to Ottawa’s Major Projects Office.
Former Royal Canadian Air Force public affairs officer and journalist David Krayden weighs in on Vance’s comments, the political pressure building around Canada’s immigration and economic policies, and the growing controversy over Ottawa’s fighter-jet procurement — including concerns that splitting the fleet between U.S. F-35s and Sweden’s Gripen could fracture NORAD interoperability and provoke a major clash with Washington.
HEALTH WATCH: THEY JUST CAN’T JAM OUR REPLACEMENTS IN HERE FAST ENOUGH — Liberals scrap asylum claimant health screening to fast-track refugee status
Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab has permanently eliminated the requirement for refugee claimants to pay for a second medical exam when applying for permanent residency.

Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab has permanently eliminated the requirement for refugee claimants to pay for a second medical exam when applying for permanent residency, a move she says will remove barriers to status.
As first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement explaining its decision to scrap the medical exam requirement for asylum seekers by amending the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Taxpayers will still pay for each refugee applicant and their family to receive medical examinations when they first enter Canada and submit asylum claims, but the exemption permanently removes the requirement for a second medical exam when applying for permanent residency, the statement reads.
“The vulnerability of a protected person in Canada can be exacerbated by financial instability, particularly when fees associated with making a permanent residence application delay their application,” the analysis statement reads. “On average…a complete immigration medical examination costs approximately $400 per person, including doctor fees, blood work, exams and X-rays. “
The exemption was in place as a temporary measure since September 10, 2020. It was implemented to “ensure that the cost associated with this examination does not act as a barrier to protected persons in Canada” and to “streamline the permanent residence application process,” the statement notes.
“IRCC conducted a risk assessment, reviewing factors related to public health, public safety, and the potential impact on Canada’s publicly funded health-care system,” the statement reads. “Based on this assessment, it was determined that eliminating the subsequent immigration medical examination requirement for eligible protected persons in Canada is low risk.”
Neither the IRCC nor Diab were immediately available when asked to comment and provide the data they used to determine that the risk to public health was worth helping refugees save money and gain permanent residency.
The amendments exempt protected persons in Canada and their accompanying family members who meet several criteria: they have completed an initial taxpayer-funded medical exam, are applying for permanent residency, and have not spent “six or more months” in a “tuberculosis-designated country or territory,” since their last medical examination.
“Applicants who are required to submit to medical surveillance after their initial immigration medical examination and are found to be non-compliant cannot benefit from this exemption,” the IRCC said in its statement. “They must complete their subsequent immigration medical examination when they apply for permanent residency.”
From the time the temporary public policy came into effect in September 2020 until May 14, 2024, 36,022 “subsequent immigration medical examinations” have been exempted. The IRCC estimates this saved protected persons a collective $3,928,000 annually.
According to Public Health Canada and medical studies, several viruses and diseases are being introduced or reintroduced into Canada through travel and foreign-born individuals.
According to Public Health Canada, 70 per cent of tuberculosis cases in 2019 were among foreign-born individuals. In the same year, 113 measles cases were reported in Canada, of which 37 per cent were imported and 29 per cent “resulted in further transmission.”
The COVID virus and its variants, such as the Omicron variant, arrived in Canada through international travel, even amid vaccine mandates banning “unvaccinated” people from travelling on airplanes and other modes of transport.
Public Health Canada and Public Health Ontario have also linked a resurgence of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV to “travel-related sexual networks and exposure outside of Canada.”
