William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s Longest Service Prime Minister Was Right About Immigration
“Canada is perfectly within her rights in selecting the persons whom we regard as desirable future citizens […] There will, I am sure, be general agreement with the view that the people of Canada do not wish, as a result of mass immigration, to make a fundamental alteration in the character of our population. Large-scale immigration from the Orient would change the fundamental composition of the Canadian population.“
— Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King

A 28-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly entering several homes in a single day and sexually assaulting multiple victims in Oshawa, Ontario.
Mohamed Basil Lafir of no fixed address is charged with several suspected offences, including multiple break-and-enters, committing an indecent act, forcible confinement, and two sexual assaults.
Lafir was held after his arrest for a bail hearing.
The alleged crime spree unfolded on Nov. 11, according to Durham Regional Police. The service says it responded to calls received late Tuesday afternoon about a man entering homes and exposing himself.

The suspect entered one home and exposed himself to the residents before being startled by a dog and fleeing, says the DRPS in a release.
“The suspect then entered a second residence on the same street, where he sexually assaulted the homeowner when she confronted him.”
Afterward, he fled and entered a third home. While inside it, the suspect sexually assaulted an older female, who was in bed. He fled the third residence through the bedroom window.
When police arrived in the area, they located the suspect and took him into custody without incident.
Police are concerned there may be more victims.
However, the allegations have yet to be proven in court.

| STAND UP TO THE ORANGE SHIRTS: Unsustainable Aboriginal Politics in Canada: Stewards of the land…really!? James Pew and Woke Watch Canada Nov 13 An aerial photo of the dump site on Indian Road in North Cowichan taken on Oct. 7. SIXMOUNTAINS.CA “There is only one road in and that road goes directly in front. The path of these twenty-nine thousand dump trucks goes directly in front of the tribal offices. Like, right in front. You cannot miss them if you’re in that office.” – Ben Mulroney It appears as if the Cowichan Tribes aboriginal band has done the thing that humans do when there is no oversight or accountability: they lied and cheated and created an illegal grift (in the form of an illicit landfill site). But first, like all aboriginal bands, they demanded self-determination and refused any input, oversight, management or guidance from the government who pays for their fantasy well-fare nation. This was so they could get away with polluting and desecrating the land for money. They stabbed all Canadians in the back. They selfishly and irresponsibly dumped waste and filth on lands the government should never have trusted these phony stewards to take care of.In a statement released on Monday, the culprits, the Cowichan Tribes, are urging the federal government to step in because there are “significant limitations” of what they can do. They are “First Nations” when they demand that non-aboriginals not be permitted to audit or oversee tax-payer transfers, or the general management of reserve lands, but they are meek victims of colonialism when it comes to most other aspects associated with functional nations. Either way, Cowichan Tribes are attempting to pass the buck to Canadians. Their statement Monday included the following:“Pollution and contamination of reserve land is a generational, systemic and national problem.”The Cowichan Tribes are saying they want “Ottawa to fulfill its long overdue responsibility to take action to address the site.” Are you getting all this, settlers? We didn’t break the law, allow others to break the law, or desecrate the wilderness while claiming to be its sacred protectors. Nope. Canadians didn’t do that. But according to the Cowichan Tribes, Canadians are on the hook to fix it anyway. Because of systemic, intergenerational, and other such nonsense social justice talking points, non-aboriginal Canadians, those dastardly colonizers, must pay for and clean up the disgusting, irresponsible and dangerous illegal dump in which aboriginals are 100% responsible. James Anthony Peter, an aboriginal and member of Cowichan Tribes, is the man who controls access to the illegal dump site. Cowichan Tribes claims to have repeatedly issued him cease-and-desist letters since 2010. It’s been 15 years of thousands of dump trucks driving past the Cowichan Tribes head office on their way to the illegal dump, and in all that time this “First Nation” was only able to muster up unenforced cease-and-desist letters. Are readers starting to see that aboriginal “nations” fall well short of what all other nations are expected to rise up to? Do readers even believe that the Cowichan Tribes did anything meaningful to stop this illegal landfill? In my view, it is a safe conjecture that they were all in on it, that the band did little to stop Peter, and most likely profited along with him.According to a 2023 environmental report, “the illegal dump site at 5544 Indian Road has ballooned to 290,000 cubic metres of debris, including concrete, tires, household garbage, and construction waste. The report warns the material poses a contamination risk to the nearby Cowichan River.” And according to Times Colonist, this debris contains “elevated concentrations of copper and zinc and other ‘substances of concern,’ including heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead and manganese, according to recent environmental reports… Two independent environmental reports indicate the site is producing leachate that’s migrating via groundwater toward the Cowichan River.”Aboriginals need to be governed, audited, managed, supervised, treated with suspicion, held accountable, and spoken directly to with facts and evidence. This is no different from non-aboriginal people. All humans must be monitored, not all the time like Big Brother, but some of the time to ensure rules, standards, and best-practices are being followed and utilized. There are no blameless people. There are no equity-deservers who are justified in breaking the law. When it comes to the modern concerns and operation of this nation, aboriginal elders, traditional ways of knowing, self-determination, aboriginal land stewardship, truth and reconciliation, and a boat load of other even more useless things, have no place in its proper functioning or prosperity.The band is responsible for this mess, but are demanding that non-aboriginal Canadians clean it up. I say we should indeed clean up the Cowichan land-fill. I say non-aboriginal Canadians should pay for it. It needs to be done right, and when you want things done right you don’t call people who don’t/can’t do things right. Why have we lost faith in our people? Would a whole community of Anglo or Franco Canadians do what these irresponsible Cowichan aboriginals did? Everyone knows they wouldn’t. So, let’s clean up the land that the aboriginals treated so carelessly, before dangerous chemicals leech into the nearby rivers, let’s restore that wilderness to its original pristine state, let’s make it sacred like only non-aboriginal Canadians can. But then, and this is the greater act of cleanup, let’s revoke the Cowichan band’s self-determination and “nation” status, and start involving ourselves in audits and managerial processes concerning this dishonest land-desecrating band. They are not stewards of the land, they are grifters involved in criminal enterprise. They care nothing about Canada. Nobody who does would dump refuge in its immaculate undefiled wilderness.As stated above, I think it is clear that the Cowichan band knew about the illegal dump and profited from it. They sold out the forest, they sold out Canada. Ben Mulroney said it best, “the due-diligence phase of our relationship in terms of reconciliation has come upon us and we need to know what you knew. Where is the money, how much do you have, where is it going?…real reconciliation doesn’t happen unless you open the books.”Last week I published a piece by Nina Green where she examined a question concerning the Cowichan band and private land ownership in B.C. Nina wrote, “Does the Cowichan case indicate that private property is on the table for reconciliation?” As it turns out, according to Nina, “Clearly, for AFN Grand Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, private property is on the table for reconciliation.” The same band that treats its own land so carelessly and disrespectful is coming after your land. What could this possibly mean for the future of Canada? Will we all have illegal aboriginal dumps in our back yards? Will we have to ship in clean water from Alaska due to all the leeching chemicals from these sites? Will we continue to call the worst polluters in Canadian history, “stewards of the land,” or will some of these endlessly repeated false slogans finally be outed for the silly nonsense they are?The bigger questions, and the only ones really worth asking, do not concern individual aboriginal bands, regardless of how awful and reckless they may be. The bigger question concerns the structure of aboriginal-non-aboriginal relations. Questions like why do we deploy such manipulative language when it comes to all things aboriginal? For example, these are poor, under-developed, well-fare recipients. Under what rationale do they make nations? How can they be nations when they are barely even functioning communities? They are crucibles of deprivation and criminality. Turning to the clown show at Thompson Rivers University where yesterday OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, wrongfully terminated Professor Frances Widdowson, and illiberally cancelled high school teacher Jim McMurtry were screamed at and drowned out by aboriginal activists, students and professors, who are obsessed with believing that 215 murdered aboriginal children were clandestinely buried in an apple orchard at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential school. These sick people do not take it as good news that the claim of 215 murdered former IRS students is not true. They desire for it to be true. They need it to be true. They have shaped a narrative that informs their entire conception of Canada and their view of the world at large by this anti-Canadian, anti-Christian, anti-white false story of child murder and coverup. From a report this morning filed by Alex Zoltan for Juno News:“What began as a peaceful free speech event quickly spiralled into verbal assaults, drumming, and foot-stomping as angry protesters hurled obscenities like “You f***ing white man!” to drown out discussion.”Is this what members of respectable nations do? Scream over people and bang on drums to avoid hearing things they find unpleasant? I noticed a comment on the report above which seems to encapsulate what I would guess would be the majority sentiment in Canada:“Is the Canadian taxpayer expected to pay their taxes and shut their f–king mouth?”It’s a million dollar question. Clearly the aboriginal industry would love to see just this. However, as I recently wrote in these pages, Canadians are becoming increasingly fatigued by aboriginals and their politics, by the illiberal collectivism, the double standards, the lies and deliberately perpetrated hoaxes, by Truth and Reconciliation, by special status, advantages and privileges wasted on dependent people who produce little. Clearly we need to Stand Up To The Orange Shirts. We need deep constitutional change in this country when it comes to how we deal with aboriginals. They need to be put in their place, stripped of their illiberal collective rights, and forced to conform to the same laws and standards as the rest of Canada. Nothing will change until we take the battle to new ground, alter the discourse, dismiss this broken reconciliation process, and replace it with good old truth and accountability. |
The Great Replacement Rumbles On: England’s National Health Service Doesn’t Even Bother Addressing Itself to Whites
Slavery apology added to the list
Let’s be quite clear. The only slavery since Canada became and independent Dominion in 1867 was on the part of West Coast Indians owning other Indians as slaves well into the 19th Century. In 1794, Sir John Graves Simcoe abolished slavery in the forming British colony of Upper Canada. This was 40 years before the mother country would abolish slavery throughout the British Empire in 1834.
Writing in the National Post (June 13, 2025) N.W. Liston recounted : “Jody Wilson-Raybould’s father describes the pride he felt in 1951, sitting on his grandfather’s knee as he was served by his slaves. Indigenous produced programs on APTN have begun noting the power the Haida (who ranged as far as northern California on raids) possessed when Haida Gwai’s population was 25% slave. One recent episode on local tribal wars reconstructs memorable battles such as the luring of a large (1000?) raiding party into Maple Bay near Duncan, where a 3 sided trap was sprung from land and water, the slaughter turning the water of the bay red. The victorious alliance, fed up with constant raiding, then finalized the solution by “marrying” the wives of the dead. Surprisingly, “Blood in the Water” the estimated date of this battle of around 1850.
Reconciliation can only take place between real peoples, not the distorted, grotesque caricatures produced by both ignorance and design. Understanding the “other” does not come from projecting your own stereotypical image in the absence of actual experience, but formed bit by bit from real encounters with real people and attempts to see the world from another’s point of view, not assuming theirs is the same as yours. Ghosts are not your friends.”
West Coast slaves — Indians owned by other Indians!
Negro slavery? We never did it. It was abolished 73 years before we even became a Dominion. No apology. No way! No more White Guilt.
An additional acknowledgment
- National Post
- 13 Nov 2025
Just as Indigenous land acknowledgments become a ubiquitous aspect of Canadian life, activists are attempting to normalize a second acknowledgment that would similarly precede every single speech, meeting or public event in the country.
This was on view at the City of Toronto’s official Remembrance Day ceremony at Toronto City Hall.
After a standard land acknowledgment mentioning the various First Nations whose traditional territories overlap with the City of Toronto, attendees were also asked to acknowledge “those who were brought here involuntarily; particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the TransAtlantic slave trade and slavery.”
While Toronto does indeed sit atop land that used to be Indigenous, the historical claims in the slavery acknowledgment are less accurate.
As outlined in a recent report for the Aristotle Foundation, African slavery was never a defining feature of Canada, particularly as compared to the United States.
The generally accepted view of historians is that, over 200 years, a total of 7,000 African slaves were owned in the French and English colonies that would eventually form Canada.
In contrast to the U.S., Canada’s contemporary Black population is comprised mostly of people who trace their lineage through Caribbean immigrants, or freed U.S. slaves who settled in Canada.
What’s more, Canada became one of the first jurisdictions on earth with an explicit sanction against human bondage. The 1793 Act Against Slavery, passed by the colonial legislature of Upper Canada, would end up representing the British Empire’s legislative first step toward its ultimate ban on slavery in 1834; 33 years before Confederation.
As noted by the Aristotle Foundation, the much more prevalent form of slavery in pre-confederation Canada was the version practised by Indigenous societies — iterations of which could be found on the West Coast well into the 19th century.
Nevertheless, the City of Toronto is one of several Canadian institutions that is still attempting to normalize a “slavery acknowledgment” in addition to standard Indigenous land acknowledgments.
Starting in 2018, the city codified the text of an “African Ancestral Acknowledgement” that was to be used to open public events, provided it was “delivered by a person of African descent.”
If no such person could be found, a non-black person is instructed to pre-empt the acknowledgment with the line “though I am not a person of African descent, I am committed to continually acting in support of and in solidarity with Black communities seeking freedom and reparative justice in light of the history and ongoing legacy of slavery that continues to impact Black communities in Canada.”
Similar acknowledgments can also be found in various Toronto non-profits and government agencies.
The Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation, for one, has a section on its website devoted to acknowledging slavery, even while noting that said slavery usually didn’t happen in Canada. “We acknowledge the experiences of Black peoples who arrived in Canada seeking a better life following the abolition of slavery by the British in 1834, while also recognizing the structural, systemic, and individual racism that they encountered,” it reads.
Nova Scotia, long a centre of Canadian Black life due to its large pre-confederation communities of freed slaves, has also seen several institutions flirting with slavery acknowledgments.
The officially recommended land acknowledgment provided by the Nova Scotia chapter of CUPE, for instance, mentions the forcible displacement and enslavement of people of African descent,” adding “much of the privilege many of us have in this space stems from colonialism in the past and today, and in the oppression of Black & African Nova Scotian people.”
Dalhousie University has drafted an official African land acknowledgment stating that “African Nova Scotians are a distinct people whose histories, legacies and contributions have enriched that part of Mi’kma’ki known as Nova Scotia for over 400 years.”
While land acknowledgments are now standard practice across Canadian legislative session, city hall meetings, church services, airline flights and even hockey games, they’ve notably never taken hold in the United States outside of the occasional corporate boardroom or academic gathering.
In a January op-ed for The New York Times, Indigenous history professor Kathleen Duval said that even this scattered usage had outlived its usefulness. Wrote Duval, “they’ve begun to sound more like rote obligations, and Indigenous scholars tell me there can be tricky politics involved with naming who lived on what land and who their descendants are.”
Canadian views are more sanguine. Polls show that Canadians generally welcome land acknowledgments as a gesture of Indigenous reconciliation, even if they object to notions that they live on “stolen” land. A June survey by the Association for Canadian Studies found that 52 per cent of Canadians rejected the assertion that they lived on stolen Indigenous land.
MAN WHO PAID TO ILLEGALLY EXTEND WORK PERMIT NOT ENTITLED TO MONEY BACK, COURT RULES
TWO MEN CALLED ‘EQUALLY AT FAULT’ BY JUDGE
- National Post
- 13 Nov 2025
[This is a sordid story of the widespread scamming, especially on the part of East Indians of the student visas, the temporary foreign workers programme and Canada’s porous “refugee” system. Fraudulent documents are sold for a fortune and, of course, it’s these people who are scamming and exploiting their own people. The whole temporary foreign workers programme, except for agriculture should be cancelled.]
An Indian man who paid a fixer $15,000 in a failed attempt to extend his work permit in Canada entered into an “illegal contract” and is not entitled to get his money back, according to a recent decision from Alberta’s Court of Justice.
Ritik Sibbal sued Rajiv Chourhary Nathyal because the letter of endorsement from the City of Grande Prairie that Nathyal had agreed to help him obtain never materialized.
“Sibbal understood that a letter of endorsement would allow him to continue to work in Canada after his (postgraduate work permit) expired and potentially obtain permanent residency. Sibbal told the court that Nathyal agreed that the $15,000 he provided would be returned if a letter of endorsement was not obtained. The application for Sibbal’s letter of endorsement was refused; however, Nathyal never returned the money to Sibbal,” Justice Susanne Stushnoff wrote in a recent decision out of Edmonton.
“Sibbal was very poised before the court and presented as a smart and articulate individual. He was motivated to enter into an illegal contract due to his authentic desire to become a permanent resident of Canada. However, one of the elements that makes Canada such a desirable place to live is its legal system,” the judge wrote in her decision, dated Nov. 7.
Nathyal was served with notice of the lawsuit, but failed to defend himself.
Sibbal testified that he “came to Canada in April 2019 to attend business college in Vancouver.”
After graduating, he obtained a work permit that was good for three years.
His goal was to obtain a work permit before that expired that would allow him to stay in Canada and obtain permanent residency here.
Sibbal moved to Grande Prairie in August 2023 under the understanding that the city in northwestern Alberta “was considered ‘rural,’ ” and that he might only need a letter of endorsement to work past the expiration of his postgraduate work permit.
Letters of endorsement support “a foreign national’s job offer and their application for permanent residence under a specific immigration program,” said the decision.
Sibbal got several jobs in Grande Prairie, believing his employers would help him obtain the proper documentation, said the decision.
When those fell through, Sibbal only had six months left on his postgraduate work permit, which was set to expire in August 2024, said the decision. “He became anxious about his path forward.”
Sibbal called several immigration lawyers in Edmonton, one of whom pointed him to Nathyal in Grande Prairie.
The two met in early 2024 and Nathyal offered to help Sibbal obtain a letter of endorsement so he could stay in Canada, said the decision. The price: $35,000. “Sibbal offered Nathyal $15,000 in advance with the remainder to be paid in instalments over the next few months.”
Sibbal testified that he had “no choice” but to agree to the offer as his work permit “was soon to expire and it was his father’s dream for him to obtain permanent residency in Canada.”
Nathyal told Sibbal he was going to get him a letter of endorsement from “the relevant authorities at the City of Grande Prairie,” said the decision.
“According to Sibbal, Nathyal was to obtain the letter of endorsement by telling the authorities that he was going to employ Sibbal. This was not the truth. Nathyal was never going to be Sibbal’s employer.”
Sibbal testified that he didn’t get anything in writing about their contract. “He explained that Nathyal would not allow anything in writing as both of them knew that the contract they were entering into was ‘illegal.’ ”
Sibbal paid Nathyal $15,000 in cash in February 2024, said the decision, which notes Nathyal refused to provide a receipt.
Sibbal “heard nothing” from Nathyal for several months, despite repeated attempts to reach him. After he managed to get through, Nathyal told him to “wait for a few more weeks.”
Nathyal called Sibbal at the end of July 2024, saying
NATHYAL WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYTHING IN WRITING.
Grande Prairie had refused the letter of endorsement.
When he met with Nathyal in August 2024, “Nathyal advised that he proceed with a ‘fake refugee case,’ ” said the decision.
Sibbal “consulted with his parents who wisely advised him not to go down this path,” it said.
He called Nathyal to say he wouldn’t pursue a refugee claim, then asked him for help obtaining a labour market impact assessment. That’s a “document that a Canadian employer may need to get before hiring a foreign worker,” according to the decision.
When Nathyal told him that would cost an extra $35,000 to $40,000, “Sibbal indicated that this was ‘outside of (his) budget for now,’ ” said the decision.
When he asked about getting his $15,000 back, Nathyal told him to give him a month and a half.
“Over the following two weeks Sibbal followed up with Nathyal on multiple occasions,” said the decision. “Nathyal would respond periodically but never returned the money.”
The last time Sibbal heard from Nathyal was on Sept. 12, 2024.
“Nathyal texted Sibbal stating that he did not receive the payment he had purportedly been waiting on,” said the decision, which notes Sibbal told the court he was returning to India.
The judge found “that the contract between Sibbal and Nathyal was breached,” but she refused to enforce it.
The two men “were equally at fault in these circumstances,” Stushnoff said.
“Although Sibbal framed his pleadings and testimony in a way that cast a sympathetic light upon him, I find that Sibbal was a willing buyer and Nathyal was a willing seller.”
Sibbal “did not come before this court with ‘clean hands,’ and I exercise my discretion and refuse to grant the equitable relief he has sought,” said the judge.
The court “has a responsibility to preserve the integrity of the legal system, and this involves ensuring that claims seeking to enforce illegal contracts or unjust enrichment claims based on illegal contracts do not result in an inconsistency in the law,” the judge said,
“Submitting fake job offers or employment contracts, providing advice to do so, and charging fees beyond those expressly permitted by the legislation are all illegal under Canada’s immigration legislation and undermine the integrity of the Canadian immigration system. The monetization of Canada’s immigration system is against Canada’s public policy.”
Grande Prairie paused its Rural Renewal Stream Immigration program this past February, citing “federal and provincial immigration policy changes that have lowered immigration allocation spaces throughout the province.”
Police make arrests in Kleinburg home invasion that led to fatal shooting of father of 4
ByJoanna LavoieOpens in new window
Updated: November 12, 2025 at 6:22PM EST
Published: November 12, 2025 at 12:59PM ESTPolice say ‘a groups of individuals’ were responsible for the killing of 46-year-old Abdul Aleem Farooqi back in August.
Police in York Region say they’ve arrested five suspects wanted in connection with a home invasion in Vaughan that resulted in the death of a father of four over the summer.
The incident happened on Aug. 31, at a residence near Andreeta Drive and Barons Street, north of Major MacKenzie Drive West, in Kleinberg.
According to York Regional Police (YRP), a number of suspects arrived at a home in that area in a vehicle that had been stolen days earlier in Toronto.
The suspects, one of whom allegedly carried a gun, then forced their way into the dwelling, YRP said.
A man inside, identified by police as 46-year-old Abdul Aleem Farooqi, was shot and died at the scene. Police have said that several members of his family were also inside the home at that time.
On Wednesday, Insp. Paolo Fiore, of YRP’s homicide unit, announced that three men and two youths are in custody in connection with the incident.
One of those individuals, 26-year-old Mississauga resident Amir Wiam Mohammad Abuhmaid, is charged with first-degree murder and several other related offences.
“At the time of the homicide, Mr. Abuhmaid was out on four separate forms of release,” Fiore said during the news conference.
Choszen Roshan Phillip, 25, and two 16-year-old boys, all from Toronto, have also been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
Lastly, Jahvon St. Patrick McNairn, 34, also of Toronto, has been charged with accessory after the fact of robbery with a firearm.
Those individuals are not facing charges in the homicide itself.
The charges have not been tested in court.
Fiore said police made the arrests after executing five search warrants at three residences in Toronto and Mississauga on Monday.
Teen, ‘multiple’ others outstanding
Fiore said police are still searching for 16-year-old Jayshaun Williams, of Toronto, who is also wanted for first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm.
Investigators have obtained a special court order to temporarily identify the teen, whom they believe is still in the Greater Toronto Area.
“If anyone knows the whereabouts of Jayshaun Williams, please contact our investigators,” he said.
“Jayshaun, we will find you. It’s time to contact a lawyer and turn yourself in.”
Police say they believe there are “multiple” other suspects.
“Our homicide investigators, with the assistance of members from our Criminal Investigation bureaus, never stopped working, their persistence, dedication, and unwavering commitment will continue. This type of investigation requires significant time, expertise, and collaboration across multiple investigative units,” Fiore said.
Victim’s brother speaks out
After the police news conference, the victim’s brother, Naeem, spoke out, thanking officers for their work in apprehending the suspects and calling for reform.
“We hope they are held accountable for their actions and not released into the public,” he said in a written statement provided to CTV News Toronto.
“We need to ensure Canadians feel safe in their homes and no other family should experience the nightmare we have been living since August 31st.“
Chief calls for bail system, violent crime law reform
On Wednesday afternoon, YRP Chief Jim MacSween said the fact that the adult offender charged with first-degree murder in this case was out on four different types of release orders shows there’s a need for change.
“I’m incredibly disappointed that dangerous criminals are continuously released back into the community, only to reoffend and revictimize the public,” he said during the news conference, adding it’s “extremely concerning” that a 16-year-old youth is wanted in connection with this incident.
“We’re seeing the perpetrators become increasingly younger, while the severity of these crimes continues to escalate.”
MacSween said changes are needed to prevent violent offenders from returning to the streets only to reoffend again, as well as harsher penalties to deter them from committing “these atrocious acts in the first place.”
“Last month, the federal government announced legislation that would see reforms to the current bail system. We are encouraged by this step forward and will continue to advocate for a system that prioritizes public safety and keeps dangerous criminals where they belong,” he said.
“As this legislation is developed, we will keep our eyes laser focused to ensure these changes protect our community. We’ll continue to advocate for the continued changes necessary, and we’ll work with our provincial and federal partners to ensure the system protects our residents and puts community safety first.”
Del Duca speaks out
In a statement posted on X, Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca thanked police for making arrests in this incident, which he called a “senseless act” that “shattered a family and shook our entire community,” and urged anyone with further information to contact the authorities.
He also added that today’s announcement reinforces his previous calls for bail reform.
“Too many repeat offenders are out on bail because of our current ‘catch and release’ system – a broken approach that allows dangerous individuals to reoffend,” he said, calling on all federal MPs to support the “Bail and Sentencing Reform Act,” known as Bill C-14, that is currently before the House of Commons.
“Too many criminals commit crimes with little or no consequence. This must change—urgently. … Dangerous criminals must be kept off our streets and behind bars where they belong. Vaughan residents should not – and will not – accept this level of violence in our community or anywhere in Canada.”
ANTI-WHITE RACISM WITH OUR TAX DOLLARSB.C. university philosophy faculty job only accepting black applicants
Simon Fraser University fully embraced race-based hiring with an advertisement for a faculty position exclusively restricted to black applicants.

Simon Fraser University fully embraced race-based hiring with an advertisement for a faculty position exclusively restricted to black applicants.
s.
A tenure-track posting in philosophy says the competition is limited to applicants who “self-identify as Black.” Applicants must first complete an “Applicant Demographic Survey.”
Another posting in the school of criminology applies the same race restriction, warning that candidates who do not complete the survey “will not be considered.”
The posting states that the demographic survey responses will be used to determine their “appropriateness for [the] position,” alongside their experience and qualifications
Simon Fraser University says race-restricted hiring is part of a special program supported by the B.C. Human Rights Commissioner. The university received approval from the commissioner to “limit recruitment.”
Simon Fraser University plans to hire at least “15 Black tenure-track faculty and 15 Black staff” by 2028 to address what it calls “systemic discrimination.”
The demographic survey asks applicants to report Indigenous identity, racial identity, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability status. The postings say these questions help the university meet Canada Research Chairs targets to “enhance equity” and “remove systemic barriers to recruitment.”
Earlier this year, the Aristotle Foundation tracked identity-restricted academic postings. Its preliminary assessment report found that nearly one in five postings at the University of British Columbia limited eligibility to a specific identity group.
Mark Milke, president of the Aristotle Foundation, told True North that “there’s nothing wrong with diversity in an organic sense. What’s wrong with something like \[diversity, equity, and inclusions\] or race-conscious hiring is it looks at people, not as individuals, but as part of some predetermined group; race, ethnicity—and in some cases, religion.”
Milke noted that parts of Canada abandoned race-consciousness as far back as the 19th century. “Governor Douglas in British Columbia welcomed black Americans from California. They were not race-conscious,” he said. “They could become citizens after two years, they could vote in school board elections, run as a trustee, and run for city council.”
In Ontario, Milke said, efforts to prohibit workplace race and sex-based discrimination began in the 1950s. “The existence of, say, personal prejudice is not akin to systemic discrimination,” he said. “DEI advocates keep conflating systemic discrimination with occasional instances of personal bigotry.”
According to Milke, an example of true systemic discrimination would be when “white San Franciscans would not allow Chinese San Franciscans into white hospitals a century ago. That was systemic but that doesn’t exist in Canada today.”
The Aristotle Foundation study says that Ottawa tied university funding to DEI rules starting in 2017, pushing campuses to meet equity targets. By 2019, some Canada Research Chairs were being limited to applicants from designated identity groups. It notes that government DEI pages describe designated identity groups but do not set criteria for viewpoint diversity in hiring or research.
Simon Fraser University did not respond to a request for comment.
