Chow Warns Toronto Faces 2% Tax Hike Without Federal Support for Asylum Seeker Housing
Mayor Olivia Chow is warning that Toronto residents could face an “at least two per cent” property tax increase unless the federal government steps up funding to cover the city’s mounting costs for housing asylum seekers.
Speaking at City Hall ahead of an executive committee meeting, Chow said Toronto has already depleted its reserve funds to keep refugee housing and shelter programs running.
“Because the federal government hasn’t been paying their bills, we’ve been taking money from the reserve funds in order to continue the services to shelter these refugee claimants,” Chow said. “We can either stop sheltering refugee claimants, leaving them on the street, or Torontonians will have to pay for it through their property taxes. Neither is fair.”
$107M Shortfall
A city staff report projects a $105.4 million year-end deficit, largely due to shortfalls in the federal Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP). Chow is urging council to request $107 million for 2025–2026 to support housing costs for refugees and asylum seekers already in Toronto’s shelter system.
The mayor warned that without new funding by October, the city will no longer be able to transition people out of shelters and into permanent housing—just as colder weather sets in.
Provincial Cuts Add Pressure
The situation is compounded by cuts to the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit (COHB). Toronto’s allocation will fall to $7.95 million in 2026, down from $19.75 million this year and $38 million in 2024. The COHB provides rent supplements that Chow called “the single most effective tool we have for freeing up shelter beds.”
National Responsibility
Since 2017, Ottawa has provided municipalities with $1.5 billion to help offset refugee housing costs, including $670 million for Toronto. But Chow argued this is no longer sufficient, given the number of claimants arriving in the city.
“Toronto and Canada have a history of settling newcomers, and we’ve done well because of it,” Chow said. “But now, the federal government must fulfill its responsibility.”
Advocates Call Cuts a “Recipe for Disaster”
Local advocacy group Progress Toronto, which held a protest outside City Hall Monday, echoed Chow’s warning.
“The Canadian government must acknowledge its responsibility to cities and take immediate action to address the growing crisis of homelessness — a national human rights issue,” the group said, urging Ottawa to cover 95 per cent of refugee housing costs, lift the 90-day shelter stay limit, and establish a coordinated resettlement response.
The funding fight mirrors a 2023 crisis, when Toronto briefly stopped admitting asylum seekers to shelters, leaving many sleeping on sidewalks until federal funding was restored.

Majority of Canadians continue to oppose new immigration: poll
A majority of Canadians feel that the country does not need new immigrants and people are divided over whether newcomers should have to give up their customs, according to a new national poll.
The survey, conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 60 per cent of respondents disagreed that “Canada needs new immigrants,” with the highest levels of opposition found in Alberta (65 per cent), Ontario (63 per cent) and Quebec (61 per cent), followed by Manitoba and Saskatchewan (60 per cent), the Atlantic provinces (56 per cent) and British Columbia (48 per cent).
The poll found Canadian immigrants were slightly more supportive than non-immigrants of opening the country to future waves of newcomers. Just over half (52 per cent) of immigrants agreed that “Canada needs new immigrants,” while 37 per cent of non-immigrants felt the same. Still, 48 per cent of Canadian immigrants disagreed that the country needs more immigration.
Jack Jedwab, the chief executive Association for Canadian Studies, told National Post in an email that he was “surprised” by the findings, which came “in the midst of one of the biggest debates over immigration in Canada in the past 25 years.” Jedwab pointed to a Statistics Canada report released last week that shows the country’s population growth has virtually plateaued and that new arrivals are needed, despite the public’s growing weariness.
“Canada needs immigration despite many feeling otherwise,” he wrote. Jedwab placed some of the blame for anti-immigration sentiment on the government for failing to communicate effectively with the public on this issue. “Our politicians need to offer a reminder about the importance of immigration and redirect the debate to how many are needed in line with the country’s capacity.”
The youngest (aged 18 to 24) and oldest (65 years and older) respondents were the most supportive of welcoming new immigrants, at 46 per cent. Anti-immigration sentiment was highest among “working age” cohorts, Jedwab said, which “may be attributable to the perception of competition in the workplace, something that requires more validation than is the case currently.” He also explained that besides economic factors, “concern around security issues … can’t be neglected” when seeking to understand the growing skepticism toward immigration.
Respondents were also closely split on the question of whether Canadian newcomers should culturally assimilate, with 51 per cent agreeing immigrants “should give up their customs and traditions and adopt those of the majority.”
Respondents in Quebec were most likely (60 per cent) to support the statement, followed by Alberta (55 per cent), the Atlantic provinces (49 per cent), Ontario (48 per cent), British Columbia (47 per cent), and Manitoba and Saskatchewan (46 per cent).
Jedwab pointed out that, on the other hand, the overwhelming majority of Canadians (85 per cent) believe “it is important to pass on customs and traditions to future generations.”
“There is a lot of confusion around this issue as half of Canadians are saying on the one hand that immigrants should give up their customs and traditions and become more like the majority, while the vast majority of Canadians are saying that it is important to transmit our customs and traditions to future generations,” Jedwab wrote.
“In other words, it’s okay for ‘us’ to preserve customs and traditions but not for newcomers to do so. The conversation around newcomer integration needs to be better defined than is currently the case,” he wrote. “Clearly, the discourse around integration and assimilation in Canada appears to reflect less the pride in our mosaic that we used to hear more frequently.”
Despite Canada’s reputation as a multicultural mosaic, the poll found that Americans — historically known more for their reputation as a cultural melting pot — were actually less supportive of cultural assimilation than Canadians. Nearly three-quarters (71 per cent) of Americans disagreed that immigrants “should give up their customs and traditions” compared with just under half of Canadians (49 per cent).

Round Table: “Building In-Group Preference for Whites”
For instance, they saved the ostriches yesterday in the demented Dominion, but it took the Supreme Court to do it and that only temporarily. A more craven cowering Supreme Court it would be hard to find, but the public outcry was, for once, convincing. One can only hope that people who saved the birds stay standing upright. Our government agencies are all jack-booted genocidal maniacs and it’s not just birds they want to kill. The Journal of Death and Dying this week reported that Health Canada plans to save $1.73 trillion from 2027-2047 by persuading 14.7 million (nearly half the country) Canadians to accept medically assisted dying. How? They plan to withdraw hospice and palliative care. Nine million elderly, four million mentally ill and 300,000 indigenous are on the kill list. The balance will be the homeless.
Our replacements will be the 100 million Muslims they plan to import from the Middle East and Africa. Think I’m kidding? Not even a little bit. That is the stated policy of the Liberal Party of Canada. And apparently of every other left-of-center political party in the supposedly democratic west. Including the U.S., if the Democrats win any election from here to 2050.
Will that wake up this wretched country? Will it? I skidded out of Canada for the States at top speed at the age of 28, because of the passivity, the craven comfort seeking, the lack of courage and nothing has changed.
Of the ten thousand people I know in Canada, no one gives a damn. And I grew up among the well-heeled, well-educated middle class. Privileged. Privileged because like my family, theirs built the damned country and were coasting on the achievements of generations past. Today, to a man or woman, they roll around in comfort, “travelling” and joining “book clubs”, playing pickle ball and golfing and sailing and boasting at parties. Their only time thinking about someone other than themselves is a reluctant nod to socialism, thinking it is right and fair and luckily they’ll be dead. Besides, what can they do, they’re just one person? (Plus, look what happened to Lizzie, no one will talk to her. Conrad Black, the only other individual who grew up in my early world, went to prison.)
These are the people with the skills and money to do the necessary work. In one year, if they woke the hell up, all this mayhem would be over. But no, it’s left to the scrappy people at the Rebel, and a handful of others on Substack, and the tremulous grinding scared-to-death Conservative party, doing Trojan work, underfunded, with the entire force of a vicious closeted Marxist government against them.
Across the west, in Europe and the Anglosphere, western civilization and your very lives, and the lives of your children, are at severe risk. For all of us, if we don’t engage, Islamization will be our fate. Our culture gone and once we have had everything we own extracted, offered death-by-government-injection. At some juncture, three decades ago, as I count it, the malignant left joined with the malignants among Muslims in the Middle East, and planned to destroy Christianity once. and. for. all.
This week Lara Logan interviewed Katy Hopkins, a more braw soldier it would be hard to find. To the question of what the hell is happening in Britain:
“Very powerful forces who knew what would be necessary to overthrow a country were operating 20 or 30 years ago, putting the scaffolding in place to overthrow a nation and way before it hit road level, tarmac level where people start to see things, way before that in the bedrock of the thing, the scaffold of the thing, the takeover is in place and then you have Muslim mayors in every city, every city. In the most northerly islands where three or four live in the remote Hebrides there is a mosque built, and in the furtherest south there is a built mosque with not a Muslim in sight. All of the structure and infrastructure is built around an Islamic takeover. In the U.K., the Mayor of London is a Pakistani Muslim, the Head of the Justice system is a Pakistani Muslim, and the Home Secretary is a woman named Shabana Mahmood.
What Is a Canadian?
The Question That Defines Us
| Michael BatorSep 27 |
What does it mean to be Canadian?
To me, it isn’t about the paperwork in your pocket or what Ottawa tells you to be. It’s about living the values, the culture, and the freedoms that built this country. Canada belongs to its people—not to bureaucrats, not to lobbyists, not to global institutions.
My father once told me: “A title doesn’t make the man—the man makes the title.” In the same way, Canada was not made by politicians, but by ordinary people living out the timeless principles of Christianity, Roman law, and Greek philosophy. That foundation gave us a high-trust society rooted in moral values and personal responsibility.
Our Proud Canadian Moments
When I think of what it means to be Canadian, I think of our proudest moments:
- The Trucker Convoy — when ordinary men and women stood shoulder to shoulder for freedom and reminded the world that Canadians do not bow to tyranny.
- Terry Fox — who showed us courage, sacrifice, and hope by running a Marathon of Hope across this great land.
- Vimy Ridge — where young Canadians fought and won together, giving birth to a nation’s pride on the world stage.
- The 1972 Canada–Russia hockey series — when Paul Henderson’s goal wasn’t just a victory on the ice but a declaration of who we are: resilient, united, and unwilling to back down.
These stories define us. They prove that being Canadian means rising when the odds are stacked against us, daring to stand for what is right, and never letting fear dictate our future.
What We Risk Losing
And yet, today, we see those very foundations being chipped away. Through the spread of DEI bureaucracy and ideology, and through policies that erase our history and silence our voices, it feels as though the essence of being Canadian is being rewritten—our culture diluted, our identity blurred.
If we allow that to continue, we risk losing not only our freedoms but the very spirit that makes us Canadian.
The Canadian Spirit
A Canadian is someone who cherishes freedom—freedom of speech, freedom over your own body, and the right to live without coercion. We stand firm against top-down controls like lockdowns, digital IDs, and international dictates that strip away our sovereignty.
A Canadian is resilient. We don’t fold under fear. We step up, we speak out, and we discover that we are far more capable than we ever imagined. That spirit—that courage—is what makes us who we are.
I Am Canadian
So when I say, “I am Canadian,” I mean I am free. I am sovereign. I am part of a community that takes care of one another. And I will defend those things with everything I have.
