Require All “Refugee” Claims to Be Made & Vetted Abroad — Yet Another Scam to Slip in Illegal
Here’s the latest scam: “An airline worker who allegedly hatched and carried out an elaborate plan to get Indian citizens who lacked proper travel documents into Canada via Pearson Airport in Mississauga and Vancouver International Airport is now reportedly on the run from authorities on the other side of the world.
The bold and illegal ruse, allegedly the brainchild of a former British Airways employee who was stationed at Heathrow Airport in London, allowed travellers without proper documentation to board flights to Canada, according to multiple media reports.
Once at Pearson or in Vancouver, the Indian citizens, who had allegedly paid the airline worker the equivalent of $43,000 per person, would then reportedly claim asylum.
According to The Times of London, which first reported on the travel/immigration scheme earlier this week, Canadian immigration officials brought the matter to light after noticing more and more Indian citizens flying into Pearson and Vancouver who were lacking proper papers and then claiming asylum. The alleged scam is reported to have garnered an estimated $5.1 million for the British Airways employee.
The worker, a 24-year-old man alleged to have masterminded the scheme from his airport check-in desk in London, was arrested on Jan. 6. However, he made bail and allegedly fled to India, reportedly with a partner who also worked for the British airline.” (Insauga, February 29, 2024) As so often in our lamestream media, we are not even told the name of the slippery, now a millionaire, scam artist.

COMMENT This is the very most important Tucker Carlson interview I have watched yet. Do not miss this one. Canadians and Americans may have problems to understand what is said here because they grew up in a once free country. This can change very fast as you will hear from this great lady who grew up under Mao. All governments follow the same recipe to stay in power. We have to watch every step of what is going on in government. Don’t ever trust any of them. This interview may wake you up to the real facts and the truth. We are almost at the point of no return. Be informed, help take our country back from the insanity that is going on now. True history is suppressed on purpose, because all this happened before.
Temporary immigration up nearly 50% in 2023, report finds

THERE’S A JUMP IN TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION AND AN IMPRESSION THAT QUEBEC HAS LOST CONTROL, THAT WE WEREN’T PREPARED IN AREAS
SUCH AS HOUSING OR PUBLIC SERVICES. MAYBE THE CO-ORDINATION (WITH
OTTAWA) HAS BEEN LACKING. — EMNA BRAHAM, IDQ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Authorities in Canada and Quebec underestimated the effect temporary immigration would have on housing and public services over the past decade, a new study suggests.
Quebec’s temporary resident population soared 46 per cent last year to 528,034, according to a report published Monday by the Institut du Québec (IDQ) non-profit think tank, which compiled Statistics Canada data. Quebec had 167,435 temporary work permit holders in 2023, almost four times as many as in 2015, as well as 117,745 foreign students — most of whom have the right to work here — and asylum seekers.
Surging immigration numbers have become a hot-button issue in Quebec, with Premier François Legault calling on Ottawa to cut the number of asylum seekers arriving in the province because not enough of them speak French.
Some of the issues surrounding immigration can be traced back to an easing of regulations in 2022 that accelerated the delivery of temporary work permits in Quebec, IDQ economists write in their report.
“There’s been a lot of talk about immigration in the last few weeks and we thought it was important to underline the impacts on the job market that are often looked at only in silos,” IDQ executive director Emna Braham, who co-authored the study, said in an interview.
Immigration policies “are generally well designed, but when governments decided to put in place a series of simplifications a few years ago, they failed to anticipate their cumulative impact,” Braham added. “Today, there’s a jump in temporary immigration and an impression that Quebec has lost control, that we weren’t prepared in areas such as housing or public services. Maybe the co-ordination (with Ottawa) has been lacking.”
Temporary immigration programs lack precise limits, the IDQ economists write. A dearth of detailed data that would shed light on the economic effect of the measures means authorities can’t adequately monitor them, the authors add.
Immigration was the sole source of growth in Quebec’s labour pool between 2015 and 2023 as many baby boomers retired, the IDQ report shows. About 272,000 permanent immigrants entered the workforce during the period, as well as 112,000 temporary residents, while 54,000 Canadian-born workers exited the province’s labour pool.
New arrivals explain why Quebec gained about 100,000 working-age individuals last year, the study says. That’s almost triple the 39,000 average annual increase recorded between 2015 and 2022. Unlike permanent immigration, which is capped at about 50,000 people a year, Quebec has set no limits on temporary residents.
The surge in temporary immigration over the past year has coincided with an economic slowdown. Quebec’s unemployment rate rose from four per cent to 4.5 per cent in the year ended in January.
Temporary immigrants come here through two main channels: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which allows Quebec employers to bring people in to fill vacant positions, and Ottawa’s International Mobility Program, which combines various mechanisms for welcoming temporary residents such as foreign graduates.
With 107,615 permit holders as of last year, the International Mobility Program is the biggest source of temporary foreign workers in the province. The problem is, it doesn’t specifically aim to fill vacant jobs, IDQ economists write.
As for Quebec’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program, it generated 59,820 temporary immigrants last year. Twenty-three per cent of participants were agricultural workers. So far, neither tool has allowed Quebec to fill vacant positions in health care and construction — critical shortcomings as the population ages and authorities scramble to tackle the housing crisis.
“In the past year, we’ve seen a major drop in vacant positions across Quebec, but the number in health care has barely budged,” Braham said. “There are attractiveness issues, including wages and working conditions, but the fact is we are seeing few temporary immigrants active in health care.”
One way for Quebec to alleviate pressing labour shortages would be to focus future international recruitment missions on health care and construction, Braham says.
Authorities should also put greater emphasis on recognizing foreign degrees and worker competencies in these two fields, she adds.
“The good news is that the levers exist, partly in Quebec City and partly in Ottawa, to adjust (immigration) policies,” Braham said.

Article content
If we can’t house the, why bring them? Why bring them to cast Canadian poor and homes people out on the streets. A February 24 major article in the National Post entitled “Tent City Nation” made the following important observation: “
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
It’s believed that more people are sleeping rough in this country than at any point since the Great Depression. How did tent encampments suddenly become a fixture of so many of our towns and cities?
Many things happened at once, among them a pandemic. COVID-19 forced homeless shelters to impose capacity limits to reduce the spread of the infectious disease, which forced many people on the margins into tents and sheds.
Shelters were already under pressure, in part because of a substantial increase in the number of refugees using their services. The number of people seeking asylum in Canada has spiked in recent years. During the first 11 months of 2023, more than 128,000 people filed asylum claims in this country — a record number. It’s more than double the number from all of 2019, the year before the pandemic’s outbreak.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, in a November letter to two federal cabinet ministers, noted that refugees then occupied 3,900 of the city’s 11,000 shelter spaces — a 50 per cent increase in just six months — while another 1,200 refugees were supported outside the shelter system. She asked the government for financial and material aid to help address what she called a “dire” situation.
“Shelters are full but demand for shelter continues to increase,” Chow wrote. “Each night, hundreds are turned away because no beds are available. While we have opened hundreds of additional spaces, including dedicated spaces for newly arrived refugees, we cannot keep pace.”
Maxime Bernier & People’s Party of Canada Pledge to Rid Us of Diversity, Equity & Inclusions Insanity
Today I was in Bowmanville (ON) for a press conference with our amazing Durham by-election candidate, Patricia Conlin.
This press conference was an opportunity to introduce Patricia to the local and national media.
We also announced a new PPC policy on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
DEI is a fundamentally racist, sexist, and discriminatory ideology that divides Canadians, creates blatant injustices, and undermines social cohesion.
Under the pretext of promoting nice-sounding goals, it does the exact opposite: it imposes a uniform far-left perspective, and unfairly gives more rights to some, while excluding others who don’t fit in official categories of victims.
This hateful ideology holds that our culture and Western society is irredeemably racist, colonialist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and whatever new phobia or -ism they come up with next week!
We hear about new absurd examples of these programs almost every day.
Just a few weeks ago, we learned that the University of Waterloo wanted to hire two Research Chair positions in the Computer Science department.
The first position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as women, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, or Two-spirit”.
The second position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as a member of a racialized minority”.
If you’re straight or white, tough luck! The University of Waterloo doesn’t want you.
Our woke leaders do not believe in merit anymore. They undermine one of the key foundations of western civilization.
They tell us that “diversity” is more important than competence.
We see this everywhere in Canada and the West today.
The longer that this twisted agenda is in place, the more things will fall apart and cease to function.
Because decline is the only outcome when you prevent and penalize the most capable and meritorious.
You can watch the full announcement by clicking here!
And read the full text of the policy here.
A PPC government will take the following steps to expunge this toxic ideology from our society and country:
- Abolish all federal DEI programs and policies in the public service and in federal institutions such as the Armed Forces, as well as those that apply to federally regulated industries.
- Prohibit DEI training sessions in all federal institutions.
- Remove all DEI clauses imposed on institutions, organisations, associations and businesses as a condition to obtain federal subsidies, grants, loans, scholarships, services, or contracts.
- Stop funding groups that promote the DEI ideology.
- In all legal proceedings, narrowly interpret section 15(2) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a manner that proscribes reverse discrimination.
- Support Canadians who are being discriminated against, harassed, vilified, or harmed in any way by organisations that impose DEI programs and policies.

‘Absurdly woke’: Google’s AI chatbot spits out ‘diverse’ images of Founding Fathers, popes, Vikings
By
Social Links for Thomas Barrabi
Published Feb. 21, 2024, 1:51 p.m. ET
Google’s highly-touted AI chatbot Gemini was blasted as “woke” after its image generator spit out factually or historically inaccurate pictures — including a woman as pope, black Vikings, female NHL players and “diverse” versions of America’s Founding Fathers.
Gemini’s bizarre results came after simple prompts, including one by The Post on Wednesday that asked the software to “create an image of a pope.”
Instead of yielding a photo of one of the 266 pontiffs throughout history — all of them white men — Gemini provided pictures of a Southeast Asian woman and a black man wearing holy vestments.
Another Post query for representative images of “the Founding Fathers in 1789″ was also far from reality.
Gemini responded with images of black and Native American individuals signing what appeared to be a version of the US Constitution — “featuring diverse individuals embodying the spirit” of the Founding Fathers.
Another showed a black man appearing to represent George Washington, in a white wig and wearing an Army uniform.
When asked why it had deviated from its original prompt, Gemini replied that it “aimed to provide a more accurate and inclusive representation of the historical context” of the period.
Generative AI tools like Gemini are designed to create content within certain parameters, leading many critics to slam Google for its progressive-minded settings.
Ian Miles Cheong, a right-wing social media influencer who frequently interacts with Elon Musk, described Gemini as “absurdly woke.”
Google said it was aware of the criticism and is actively working on a fix.
“We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately,” Jack Krawczyk, Google’s senior director of product management for Gemini Experiences, told The Post.
“Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.”

Social media users had a field day creating queries that provided confounding results.
“New game: Try to get Google Gemini to make an image of a Caucasian male. I have not been successful so far,” wrote X user Frank J. Fleming, a writer for the Babylon Bee, whose series of posts about Gemini on the social media platform quickly went viral.
In another example, Gemini was asked to generate an image of a Viking — the seafaring Scandinavian marauders that once terrorized Europe.
The chatbot’s strange depictions of Vikings included one of a shirtless black man with rainbow feathers attached to his fur garb, a black warrior woman, and an Asian man standing in the middle of what appeared to be a desert.

Famed pollster and “FiveThirtyEight” founder Nate Silver also joined the fray.
Silver’s request for Gemini to “make 4 representative images of NHL hockey players” generated a picture with a female player, even though the league is all male.
“OK I assumed people were exaggerating with this stuff but here’s the first image request I tried with Gemini,” Silver wrote.
Another prompt to “depict the Girl with a Pearl Earring” led to altered versions of the famous 1665 oil painting by Johannes Vermeer featuring what Gemini described as “diverse ethnicities and genders.”
Google added the image generation feature when it renamed its experimental “Bard” chatbot to “Gemini” and released an updated version of the product last week.
The strange behavior could provide more fodder for AI detractors who fear chatbots will contribute to the spread of online misinformation.
Google has long said that its AI tools are experimental and prone to “hallucinations” in which they regurgitate fake or inaccurate information in response to user prompts.
In one instance last October, Google’s chatbot claimed that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement, when no such deal had occurred.
