Changes to the federal government’s much-maligned Temporary Foreign Worker Program could beef up lower-wage employees from outside the country.
On Friday, Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, said the changes will “strengthen” the program, created to address labour shortages in critical sectors where there are not enough Canadian workers to fill the gaps.
“COULD”?
‘Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call,’ Justin Trudeau shrugged after swapping Canada’s World Cup opener for a Katy Perry performance, but even he couldn’t have seen this call coming.
On Monday, Perry’s ex-husband Russell Brand was jailed for ten-and-a-half years for one count of rape and three of sexual assault, allegations he has denied, and the Firework singer has kept her lips firmly sealed.
But not for much longer, it seems.
Trudeau and Perry both have groper claims against them.
Canadian woman who spent four years with ISIS and married two of its fighters is guilty of terrorism, a jury in Brampton, Ont. ruled on Tuesday.
Ammara Amjad, 32, was the first woman to go on trial in Canada for her role in the Islamic State in Syria as it committed widespread atrocities.
The case was a test of whether Canada could bring to justice the women who played support roles in ISIS as wives and mothers but were not armed fighters.

Ever since the federal government issued new regulations in 2020 banning 1,500 “military-style assault weapons” and their “variants” from circulation—a number that has since been increased to 2,500—there’s been widespread confusion and even conspiracy about the legal implications of the prohibited list. In fact, no one seems to know exactly which firearms are legal or not.
That’s a big problem.
This is clearly partisan authoritarian Labour behaviour

If we were to believe Democrats and the media, which are the same thing, we would think America to be the most violent and crime-ridden country in the world. Irony abounds in that Democrats are the party of political violence and the sponsors and enablers of all kinds of criminals. They particularly seem to delight in freeing violent criminals and pedophiles.
Late last month, Andy Burnham welcomed Muslim community leaders to Downing Street. He reportedly told the group he was determined to build a “more positive, hopeful feeling” in Britain and that “we cannot have another decade of division like the one we’ve lived through.”
But, once again, it appears Burnham has not done his homework. That’s because the delegation included a representative from the British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA), which has a long track record of campaigning against Israeli involvement in the NHS and Government efforts to combat antisemitism.
Ever since my 2006 book While Europe Slept I’ve been warning Americans about Islam, and holding up the recent experience of Europe as a cautionary experience.
The fundamental thing to know about Islam is that it’s not really a religion, in a Western sense, but an ideology of violent conquest. To be sure, when Muslims first begin to settle in non-Islamic countries in relatively small numbers, they keep a low profile and strive to seem peaceful. But as their numbers increase, the dynamic shifts. Things get steadily worse. The streets become increasingly unsafe. Formerly quiet immigrant neighborhoods develop into no-go zones governed by Muslim authorities in accordance with the dictates of sharia law. More and more women wear hijab, and, eventually, niqab. The men do less to hide their aggressiveness, and gang crime, notably the brutal rape of infidel women, soars.
On Saturday afternoon, 24-year-old Michal Oksinski drove into Kraków’s Main Market Square and started shooting. Before he was stopped in a heroic action by local police, he had killed at least six people and wounded many more. His victims included Poles, a British national and an Austrian. His parents and sister were found shot dead in the family home. Oksinski died in hospital, succumbing to the wounds he received in a gunfight with police.
It’s extremely easy to be allowed into Britain as a refugee or ‘asylum seeker’. You can pretend to be gay. You can claim to be a persecuted dissident for being a member of a political party you know next to nothing about. You can commit a sex crime in Britain and then claim you’ll be persecuted because of it if you’re sent back home. Just one in 100 asylum claims are “genuine”, according to a Home Office whistleblower. If British immigration and asylum law were a colander, it would be all holes and no metal.
And yet now Lefty lawyers and climate activists are hoping to pry it open still further to potential billions of so-called “climate refugees”, on the grounds that standards of living and the weather aren’t always brilliant in places like Africa.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has a problem. He promises that Canada can become more economically independent. He wants to accelerate major projects and expand energy exports. He’s pledged to build housing for the homeless, pipelines for petroleum, and army bases in the Arctic. All good things, all long overdue, and all projects that could, at first blush, bring Canadians together.
But ironically, they could also tear us apart.
The next time you call someone a chicken, think again – animal rights activists want the insult banned.
Campaign group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has written to the Oxford English Dictionary, demanding it scrap the definition of chicken as a cowardly or faint-hearted person.
In a letter to chief editor Michael Proffitt, the organisation claims the description is unfair, inaccurate and harmful to the bird’s reputation.
The more I look at the recent Canadian federal budget, the more disenchanted I become. It was actually amusing to see all my compatriot Bay Street economists give this document a free pass. It deserves a failing grade just based on the numbers, the actual versus what was pledged by the Liberal government in the past.
The 2027 fiscal year projects were first published in April 2022. The worst of COVID-19 was behind and the economy had reopened. The fiscal spigots had already been opened in support of the economy in 2020 and 2021.
Back then, the fiscal deficit projection for the current 2027 fiscal year was $8.4 billion. What did we find out last week? The red ink is going to be $62.3 billion. That isn’t offensive to anyone?
ritish comedian, actor, and television host Russell Brand has been found guilty on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday, 9 November.
Brand’s trial began on 12 October. He was facing a total of seven charges: three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault (which was amended to attempted indecent assault during trial). His defence was able to beat two counts of rape and the one count of attempted indecent assault, of which he was found not guilty by the jury, but he was ultimately convicted on the other charges.
The prosecution of Russell Brand has drawn criticism from sceptics from the get-go.
