Disaster, Leading U.S. Immigration Critic, VDARE Shuts Down After Years of Gov’t Harassment

Posted on by

VDARE Director Peter Brimelow explains sadly that, after 25 years as a leading voice of immigration reform, the organization is closing its doors: “VDARE has been murdered by New York Attorney General Letitia James” and her harassment and investigation which has already cost VDARE over a million dollars.

THE TRUDEAU GOV’T LIED: THEY PROMISED A REDUCTION IN FOREIGN STUDENTS THIS YEAR, BUT NUMBERS ARE UP AGAIN!

Posted on by

Foreign student permits are already outpacing 2023’s record numbers

[Last year, as Canadians focused on the impossibly high cost of housing — ownership and rental — even mainline commentators started to suggest that there was a connection to the invasion-level immigration numbers as Justin Trudeau ferociously pursues his policy of replacing Canada’s European founding/settler people. Reluctantly, the Liberal government and Immigration Marc Miller promised to slightly reduce the numbers of foreign students. Empty promise! Another Liberal lie. Numbers this year are up yet again. It must be remembered that every foreign student needs accommodation — either rental or, less frequently, the purchase of a home, thus raising prices even higher. Oh, yes, despite promises of more new housing starts, in fact, housing starts are down from last year. A housing crisis. It’s immigration, stupid. — Paul Fromm]

Even as federal Liberal government is pledging to cap the number of international study permits, its own data show Canada is approving permits at a pace faster than last year, which saw a record number of approvals.

According to numbers curated online by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada handed out 216,620 international study permits in the first five months of 2024.

Just 200,205 study permits were handed out during the same time period in 2023.

By the end of 2023, 682,420 study permits had been granted to foreign students.

Canada has been granting the vast majority of permits to India, with 278,335 going to students from that country in 2023, a number nearly five times more than to students from China, the second-highest country of origin, who were granted 58,230 permits in 2023.

Canada’s third-most popular source of international students in 2023 was Nigeria, with 37,575 permits handed out in 2023, followed by the Philippines with 33,830, and Nepal at 15,920.

During the first five months of 2024, Indian students were granted 91,510 permits, more than the 85,805 granted over the same period last year.

Chinese students received 21,240 permits in the first five months of this year, compared to 15,565 granted between January and May 2023.

Nigerians received 12,450 study permits by May 2024, up from 8,150 by May 2023.

For the Philippines, 10,140 permits were granted so far in 2024, up from 9,300 over the same period of time last year.

Applicants from Nepal received 4,655 study permits so far this year, compared to 3,575 between last January and May.

In January, Immigration Marc Miller announced he was putting an intake cap on international student permit applications that he expected to result in approximately 360,000 approved study permits, a decrease of 35 per cent from 2023. 

The federal government has been under pressure over rising numbers of temporary residents amid a housing shortage and ongoing affordability crisis. In 2023, Canada let in a record 800,000 additional non-permanent residents, such as temporary workers and foreign students, bringing to 2.6 million the number of non-permanent residents in the country as of Jan. 1, 2024, Statistics Canada reported.

The issue came to a head last summer after reports of international students, unable to secure housing, were living rough on the streets and in homeless shelters — including a Conestoga College student from India found sleeping under a bridge in east-end Toronto.

International students were identified as a particular strain on housing and rent affordability in cities across Canada — especially in Ontario, the destination of choice for most foreign scholars.

One food bank in Brampton announced late last year that it was so overrun with international students seeking food, it was no longer allowing them access to their services.

In a statement earlier this year, Miller said the national cap is based on the number of permits expiring in 2024.

Taking into consideration the 20 per cent of students who apply for extensions, Miller put 2024’s target at 606,000 study permit applications, and 364,000 approvals.

“Given the changes to the international student program have not yet seen the traditionally busiest season for study permit processing — summer and early fall — it may be too early to fully assess the data and analyze the impacts, including the intake cap on study permit applications,” IRCC spokesperson Rémi Larivière told the National Post.

Larivière said many factors influence how many new international students will arrive in Canada this fall, including provinces not using their full allocations, changes in approval rates and in-year adjustments.

“As education is a provincial and territorial responsibility, IRCC consulted governments at the provincial and territorial level frequently as the allocations were established,” Larivière said.

“IRCC distributed the adjusted number of study permit applications based on the population share, 2023 volumes and approval rates of each province and territory.”

Conservative immigration critic Tom Kmiec blamed the last nine years of the Trudeau government for the problem of too many temporary residents for the system to handle.

“It is so bad that the current Liberal immigration minister himself said the broken system is ‘out of control’. The previous immigration minister admitted that the system is a ‘complete mess’. Even Trudeau acknowledged their shared failure, calling the system ‘broken,’” he said.

“The Liberal government first allowed corrupt consultants and phoney educational institutions to bring students here under false pretences. Then they promised to fix the mess and bring it under control only to see things become worse amid a growing housing crisis of their making.”

Toronto traffic and congestion causing some to consider relocating, poll shows

by Lucas Casaletto, City News – July 16, 2024

A new survey commissioned by the Toronto Region Board of Trade indicates that a majority of Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) residents believe there is a traffic and congestion crisis, and some have considered relocating as a result.

The results pointed to a significant majority (86 per cent) of GTHA residents agreeing (45 per cent strongly and 41 per cent somewhat) that there is currently a traffic and congestion crisis. A similar majority believes that traffic and congestion negatively impact the GTA economy (85 per cent).

Other findings include locals feeling that traffic and congestion pose serious problems for their households (63 per cent, including 24 per cent strongly and 38 per cent somewhat agreeing) and often cause them to be late (58 per cent, including 21 per cent, strongly and 37 per cent somewhat agreeing).

The most significant impact of traffic is extended and unpredictable journey times (61 per cent), GTHA residents said.

The 2023 Global Traffic Scorecard placed Toronto as the 17th most congested city in the world, behind gridlocked behemoths like New York, Mexico City, London, Paris and Chicago, which made up the top five spots. Montreal was ranked 30th and the second Canadian city after Toronto.

GTHA residents support 24-hour road and public transit construction, survey shows

The GTHA residents surveyed in the online Ipsos poll attribute the cause of traffic and congestion to excessive construction or mismanagement thereof (68 per cent), followed by an excess of cars and trucks on the road (57 per cent).

Due to traffic and congestion in Toronto, half (53 per cent) of residents have considered relocating outside the region. Sixty-two per cent of those surveyed indicate they are reluctant to commute to work, and half (49 per cent) accept traffic and congestion as a part of living in a large city.

WOW! MORE BENEFITS OF “DIVERSITY”: Canadian Woman Accused Of “Racism” After Witnessing Indians Defecating In “Poop Holes” On Ontario Beach

Canadian Woman Accused Of “Racism” After Witnessing Indians Defecating In “Poop Holes” On Ontario Beach

The Publica Team

  • July 18, 2024

A Canadian woman in Ontario is facing accusations of “racism” after documenting her concerns about South Asians openly defecating in the sand at her local beach.

Last week, TikToker @itsnattylxnn2.0 posted a video discussing a number of incidents she had witnessed in her small Ontario home of Wasaga Beach. With a population of just 52,000 people, the idyllic community is situated on the Nottawasaga River, and is home to the world’s longest freshwater beach.

But while @itsnattylxnn2.0 is a permanent resident in the community, the town boasts a bustling tourist industry during the summer as people flock from out of town to enjoy the sandy shores. @itsnattylxnn2.0 says the problem emerged after she observed Indian families visiting the beach.

On July 7, the mother of three uploaded a video noting that she used to live at a property that backed onto the national park where the main beach area was located, and that she witnessed large Indian families digging holes in the sand to defecate in while visiting. After the holes were dug, tents were popped over the hole to act as a rudimentary outhouse.

“They did it off my back yard. There were three different families of maybe 25, 30 people that came for barbecues who would set up right on the fence of my back yard. I saw them digging the hole. I saw them placing a tent [over the hole]. When they left, there was poop,” @itsnattylxnn2.0 says in the video. “I have had to yell at people for shitting on the border of my property line. And yes, it was Indian families.”

Two days later, @itsnattylxnn2.0 posted a follow-up video responding to some comments she had received dismissing the open defecation as a cultural difference.

“We are not back home. We are in Canada. As a local, I refuse to let my kids dig in the sand on Beach One,” she said. In another video posted that day, @itsnattylxnn2.0 announced she was going to begin a series exposing those defecating on the beach.

As @itsnattylxnn2.0 continued her commentary on the issue, noting that many Canadians had reached out to her with similar stories.

“I’m not a racist. I’ll never be racist. But what I am is a good person. Because you guys need to know what you are running into when you come to Wasaga Beach. And it’s not locals doing it. It is people from out of town. It is immigrants that think it is okay to dig a hole, pop a squat, and bury their poop where kids play in the sand,” she said.

As @itsnattylxnn2.0 continued her videos on the subject, more detractors began pouring into her comment section, accusing her of spreading racism against Indians.

Responding to @itsnattylxnn2.0, another creator, @Maryam, accused her of being a “colonizer” trying to impose her views of hygiene on other cultures. But @itsnattylxnn2.0 quickly dispelled that accusation, noting that she was of Indigenous Canadian heritage.

@itsnattylxnn2.0 noted that some commenters, seemingly of Indian origin, had begun bullying and threatening her for her videos, with some even insulting her for being a single mother.

One Indian commenter claimed that he anticipated that @itsnattylxnn2.0 was going to falsify or “edit” videos to “fit her narrative.” But the issue of South Asians using beaches to defecate is not new and has a well-documented history.

In 2020, the Globe and Mail reported that tensions were beginning to rise in Ontario beach communities as locals expressed outrage at the massive uptick in public defecation happening on their shores. One community, St. Catharines, went so far as to vote to refuse beach access to anyone not from the immediate Niagara region.

While the Globe and Mail does not name the ethnicity of those suspected of public defecation, a cursory glance at message boards and subreddits dedicated to those communities all name South Asian immigrants as the perpetrators.

Open defecation is a known issue in India, and was so widespread that the United Nations launched a “poo in loo” campaign in 2013. The campaign featured an animated poop and catchy music encouraging Indians to “take their poo to the loo.”

As a result of the negative attention open defecation was causing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to build hundreds of millions of toilets in the country in an effort to quash open defecation once and for all. But while Modi declared India “open defecation free” in 2019, the practice is still widespread, with beaches being a particular hotspot.

And This Is “White Privilege” & White Supremacy?

DARK DAYS IN GERMANY. EVER DARKER. BANNING OF MEDIA OUTLET CRITICAL OF GOVERNMENT

DARK DAYS IN GERMANY. EVER DARKER. BANNING OF MEDIA OUTLET CRITICAL OF GOVERNMENT.

Elsa

Jul 17, 2024

A German friend sends me posts, asks me to delete the emails as soon as I’ve read them. She holds that it’s too dangerous to have evidence anywhere of her having passed on such information (though nothing we send is private anyway). She has good reason to be afraid of the German government – “her” government.

What is going on?

I have just received this information.

THERE IS A BAN ON THE FIRST MEDIA OUTLET CRITICAL OF THE GOVERNMENT. EMPLOYEES ARE BANNED FROM WORKING THERE.

Special program on the Compact ban: Now it’s getting dangerous for everyone!

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser issued a ban against the company, Compact, on June 5. But Jürgen Elsässer and the Compact employees only found out about this today, July 16, when special forces occupied the building at 6am. Scandalous: this was preceded by no court proceedings, no hearings, no witness interrogations! Nancy Faeser goes it alone and bans the first media outlet critical of the government in Germany. In the special broadcast, AUF1 shows a document from the Frankfurt Administrative Court, a secret document from the Brandenburg Police Headquarters and publishes how Compact employees are now banned from working for Compact by decree.

What is covered in the special broadcast?

In this special broadcast, Stefan Magnet and Martin Müller-Mertens uncover the background to the Compact ban. They make secret information public that, according to Faeser, should have remained classified. And they analyze what comes next. It’s going to be very dangerous. For alternative media, for everyone in Germany, but also for Nancy Faeser and the regime. Because Interior Minister Nancy Faeser in particular has taken a very high risk with today’s breach of taboo.

In the photo of Stefan Magnet and Martin Müller-Mertens accompanying the article, the two men look very very serious. They have good reason for this. As the words say, blazing across the image: NOW IT’S GETTING BURNING DANGEROUS.
