A Rush to the Exits: It’s Not Just Immigration, Canada Has an Emigration Crisis

2024/11/21 Leave a comment

Covers the various data sources and issues. And of course, the issue of outflows has been increasingly prominent in Statistics Canada and work by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada (Economic immigrants hand-picked by the federal government are leading a growing exodus of newcomers from Canada):

…Canada, as every schoolchild learns, has thousands of kilometres of undefended border. There are places where people cross officially, at roads and airports. Some people think of these border crossings as gates. But they are not gates. They are revolving doors. A lot of people go through them, in both directions, every year.

When digesting the economic data, it becomes obvious that the flow of people out of the country is following the flow of money. People want better incomes, better prospects. It seems like stating the obvious, but sometimes the obvious must be stated. The ones leaving Canada for the U.S. are the ones in a position to do so: the ones with globally marketable skills, independent incomes or inherited wealth, who can easily start anew elsewhere. And the ones who have decent incomes are usually the ones who have the brains as well. Canada is losing its best and brightest. Instead of easing, Canada’s brain drain is almost certain to intensify. Whoever holds office in Ottawa over the next decade will be hearing about it; let’s hope they do something about it.

On Harvard University’s Economic Complexity Index – a measure of an economy’s productive capacity – Romania jumped from 39th in the world in 2000 to 19th, just behind France. Canada is facing ever-greater competition from nations on the rebound just as it enters the second decade of serious economic deterioration.

Political leaders often tout Canada as a land of immigrants. In 2021, more than 8.3 million people, or 23 percent of the population, were immigrants, the highest proportion since Confederation. Never mentioned is that there could be as many as 5 million Canadians living abroad – one-eighth of the Canadian population. The inflated but often-insincere rhetoric about immigration, emanating from Liberal and NDP politicians in Ottawa and from much of mainstream media, has simply ignored the whole question of outflow from Canada, of how we have lost so many of our best and brightest – and, without major economic, fiscal and governance reforms, will keep right on doing so….

Human smuggler issued new Canadian passport after court ordered surrender of travel document 

2024/11/21 Leave a comment

Sigh, highlighting systemic coordination failure:

The federal government issued a new passport to an admitted human smuggler after he was ordered to surrender the travel document as part of court-imposed release conditions, CBC News has learned. 

The new passport was discovered in June 2023 by RCMP investigators executing a search warrant at the Montreal home of Thesingarasan Rasiah during a probe targeting an international human smuggling network that Rasiah allegedly headed, according to court records obtained by CBC News. 

At the time, Rasiah was living at home with an electronic ankle bracelet on strict conditions while awaiting sentencing on a February 2023 guilty plea to one count of breaching the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for his role in the smuggling of a Sri Lankan national from the U.S. into Canada in 2021.

Rasiah had been forced to surrender his passport to the RCMP in 2021 as part of his release conditions related to the human smuggling attempt that was intercepted by police in Cornwall, Ont., located about 120 kilometres west of Montreal along the Canada-U.S. border.

Rasiah was also forbidden from applying for any new travel documents.

Smuggling operation linked to deaths

Rasiah was charged on April 1, 2021, after he was caught in a Cornwall motel parking lot receiving a Sri Lankan national who had just been smuggled into Canada. He was sentenced to 15 months in jail in September 2023. 

He was re-arrested this past May by the RCMP on charges he led an international human smuggling organization that moved hundreds of people north and south across the Canada-U.S. border. He remains in custody.

Investigators with the Cornwall Regional Task Force — which includes officers from the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) — also linked Rasiah’s organization to the deaths of nine people on the St. Lawrence River in late March 2023. Two families — one from India, the other from Romania — drowned with a boatman in rough river waters trying to get into the U.S. 

The new passport seized by RCMP during the search of Rasiah’s home in 2023 was issued by Service Canada on April 11, 2023, less than two weeks after eight bodies were pulled from the river, according to a copy of the document filed with the Ontario Court of Justice. …

John Ivison: It’s not ‘cancel culture’ to silence people who encourage terrorism

2024/11/21 Leave a comment

Poster child for when cancel culture warranted:

….Canada’s Online Harms Act, which is currently before Parliament, aims to hold the online platforms accountable for content that invites violence. It has many shortcomings: the parliamentary budget officer estimates the legislation could cost upward of $200 million over five years to establish the ranks of bureaucrats the government believes are necessary to police the online world. But at least it should make some of this content inaccessible.

But in the real world, it would not stop characters like Kathrada telling impressionable young Muslims that martyrs are “winners” who will be permitted to intercede on behalf of 70 of their relatives in the afterlife.

He is scheduled to deliver a lecture to the University of Victoria’s Muslim Students Association this Sunday and it is safe to say that he will not be arguing that diversity is our strength.

Should he be banned, or at least denounced by the university, or would doing so equate to the worst of the cancel culture that has dominated campuses in recent years?

Yes, he should. This is qualitatively different from the academic environment where there is only one righteous path — the equality of outcomes for “oppressed groups” — and where political diversity is a threat to social justice.

As John Stuart Mill asserted, individual freedom should only be infringed to prevent harm to others.

Kathrada’s history suggests his glorification of martyrdom could encourage those listening to emulate the acts of the martyr.

In a sermon last December, Kathrada prayed for the annihilation of “the plundering, transgressor Jew.” He has previously praised the October 7th terrorist attacks for humiliating Israel.

Hate speech, as defined by the Supreme Court, expresses detestation or vilification of an individual or group that goes beyond disdain or dislike. Incitement occurs when a person is actively encouraged to commit or threaten physical violence.

Section 319 of the Criminal Code bans both of those things.

However, Kathrada has a “stay out of jail” card in the form of an exemption included in the Criminal Code that says if the person bases his or her opinion on a religious subject or religious text, he cannot be prosecuted.

Jewish groups have called for new legislation that would outlaw the glorification of terror acts and symbols. But Kathrada’s exemption would likely still apply.

Richard Robertson, director of research and advocacy at B’nai Brith Canada, said Parliament should clarify the limitations on the religious exemption under the Criminal Code.

However, what is clear is that Kathrada’s “kafir society” is passive, if not paralyzed, in the face of the exploitation and abuse of its good will.

Carbo | Quel gâchis! [francisation]

On the problems with Quebec’s francisation cutbacks and an interesting and creative example of advanced levels:

Le 4 avril 2024, une grosse bordée de neige s’abat sur Montréal, de celles qui nous rappellent qu’on ne peut jamais tenir le printemps pour acquis dans notre belle province. Mon collègue et moi garons tant bien que mal la voiture en face du centre de francisation William-Hingston, du Centre de services scolaire de Montréal. Nous avons rendez-vous avec les élèves du niveau 8, le niveau le plus avancé en classe de francisation. Nous y sommes attendus pour y faire de l’improvisation. Les élèves ont écrit les thèmes qui vont inspirer nos saynètes et ils pourront se joindre à nous, si le coeur leur en dit.

En grimpant les escaliers vers la salle où aura lieu notre atelier de démonstration, j’entends d’autres élèves qui parlent français entre eux avec leurs accents du bout du monde. Tous discutent de cette tempête de neige imprévue. Une élève appliquée utilise le terme « congère » et un sympathique professeur lui apprend l’expression « banc de neige ». Elle rit. Mimant la hauteur de la neige, elle demande, incertaine : « On dit un banc parce qu’on peut s’asseoir dessus ? » Le professeur acquiesce en rigolant à son tour.

Une fois dans la salle de classe, je regarde les étudiants arriver, souriants et de tous âges, venus du monde entier. On se lance sans plus tarder et on improvise devant eux en toute simplicité. Les thèmes qu’ils ont composés sont drôles, pertinents et surtout inspirants. Certains viendront même jouer avec nous. Leur maîtrise du français est impressionnante. Ils ont de jolis traits d’esprit. Faire rire dans une langue étrangère démontre une bonne connaissance de cette dernière, mais aussi plusieurs acquis en matière de références culturelles. Je sors de là ébahie par leur intelligence, leur vocabulaire et leur humour.

Je mesure tous les efforts qu’ils ont déployés pour réussir à s’intégrer dans leur société d’accueil et l’aplomb avec lequel ils parlent notre langue. Je suis aussi admirative du travail des professeurs. On peut percevoir leur engagement dans la progression de leurs apprenants et leur fierté devant leur réussite.

Si je vous raconte cette matinée dans un centre de francisation, c’est parce que l’avenir de ces lieux d’apprentissage essentiels semble menacé par les priorités budgétaires du gouvernement caquiste. Pourtant, ce gouvernement a placé le français au coeur de ses préoccupations. Il a même renforcé sa protection en adoptant la loi 96 en 2022. Cette mise à jour de la Charte de la langue française précise que tous les services publics devront être rendus en français pour tous les nouveaux arrivants et les réfugiés (sauf exception) qui sont au Québec depuis six mois. Or, six mois, même si on étudie à temps plein, c’est bien peu pour maîtriser une langue, a fortiori si on ferme des classes de francisation à proximité.

Bien sûr, le nombre d’élèves a augmenté avec le flux migratoire, mais, justement, je pense qu’il est urgent d’augmenter le financement pour la francisation et l’intégration. Malheureusement, on procède à des coupes ou à des remaniements arbitraires, ce qui, selon les estimations,laisse plus de 10 000 élèves sans rien. On estime qu’environ 113 enseignants ont perdu leur emploi. C’est une catastrophe sous plusieurs angles.

Je sais bien que la bourse de l’État n’est pas un sac magique duquel on peut faire apparaître des millions de dollars. En revanche, lorsqu’un gouvernement ne cesse de nous rappeler la fragilité du français, lorsqu’il commande des rapports sur l’évolution de la situation linguistique à l’Office québécois de la langue française ou encore qu’il demande des études sur la situation des langues parlées au Québec à l’Institut de la statistique, je m’attends à ce qu’il intervienne en amont pour contrer le déclin de notre langue commune.

En tâtant le terrain auprès d’amis qui travaillent dans l’univers de la francisation et de l’intégration, et qui observent avec scepticisme, voire avec inquiétude, les choix du ministère, j’apprends que cette branche de l’enseignement est malmenée depuis plusieurs années, et pas uniquement sous ce gouvernement. J’ai compris qu’une multitude d’activités incluses dans le programme ont disparu au fil des ans. Des expériences qui aidaient les étudiants à s’intégrer à notre culture, comme une visite de la ville de Québec, des épluchettes de blé d’Inde, de l’autocueillette de pommes, etc.

De plus, le ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration semble chercher à réduire le nombre de classes physiques pour augmenter l’offre virtuelle. Mais apprendre en groupe dans un même lieu, c’est tellement plus vivant ! On peut rebondir sur ce que vient de dire le professeur, échanger de manière spontanée, participer aux discussions de corridors. On apprend mieux en classe qu’isolé devant un écran impersonnel. C’est d’ailleurs ce que me confirme mon ami, qui est lui-même professeur. Il constate que ses élèves progressent beaucoup plus rapidement lorsqu’ils sont en présentiel plutôt qu’en ligne.

Il y a fort à parier que je ne serai plus invitée à faire de l’impro dans une classe de francisation. Bien sûr, cela me rend un peu triste, mais ce qui me rend le plus furieuse, c’est de penser que ces merveilleux adultes pleins de bonne volonté et de courage, qui pourraient contribuer à notre société à leur plein potentiel, seront privés des services de professeurs compétents et motivés. Au lieu de voir un formidable investissement dans les classes de francisation, le gouvernement semble désormais y voir une vulgaire dépense. Moi, je vois là un immense gâchis.

On April 4, 2024, a big snow line fell on Montreal, one of those that remind us that we can never take spring for granted in our beautiful province. My colleague and I park the car in front of the William-Hingston francization center, of the Montreal School Service Center. We have an appointment with students at level 8, the most advanced level in the francization class. We are expected there to improvise. The students have written the themes that will inspire our skits and they will be able to join us, if the heart tells them.

As I climb the stairs to the room where our demonstration workshop will take place, I hear other students who speak French among themselves with their accents from the end of the world. Everyone is talking about this unexpected snowstorm. An applied student uses the term “congère” and a friendly teacher teaches her the expression “snow bench”. She laughs. Mimicking the height of the snow, she asks, uncertain: “We say a bench because we can sit on it? The teacher nods laughing in turn.

Once in the classroom, I watch the students arrive, smiling and of all ages, from all over the world. We start without further delay and improvise in front of them with ease. The themes they have composed are funny, relevant and above all inspiring. Some will even come to play with us. Their command of French is impressive. They have nice wits. Making people laugh in a foreign language demonstrates a good knowledge of the latter, but also several achievements in terms of cultural references. I leave there amazed by their intelligence, vocabulary and humor.

I measure all the efforts they have made to succeed in integrating into their host society and the aplomb with which they speak our language. I also admire the work of the teachers. We can perceive their commitment to the progress of their learners and their pride in their success.

If I tell you this morning in a francization center, it is because the future of these essential places of learning seems threatened by the budgetary priorities of the Caquist government. However, this government has placed French at the heart of its concerns. He even strengthened his protection by adopting Law 96 in 2022. This update of the Charter of the French Language specifies that all public services must be rendered in French for all newcomers and refugees (with exceptions) who have been in Quebec for six months. However, six months, even if you study full-time, is very little to master a language, especially if you close Frenchization classes nearby.

Of course, the number of students has increased with the migratory flow, but, precisely, I think it is urgent to increase funding for francization and integration. Unfortunately, arbitrary cuts or rearrangements are being carried out, which is estimated to leave more than 10,000 students with nothing. It is estimated that about 113 teachers have lost their jobs. It’s a disaster from many angles.

I know that the state exchange is not a magic bag from which you can show millions of dollars. On the other hand, when a government keeps reminding us of the fragility of French, when it orders reports on the evolution of the linguistic situation from the Office québécois de la langue française or when it requests studies on the situation of languages spoken in Quebec from the Institut de la statistique, I expect it to intervene upstream to counter the decline of our common language.

By trying the ground with friends who work in the world of francization and integration, and who observe with skepticism, even with concern, the choices of the ministry, I learn that this branch of education has been mistreated for several years, and not only under this government. I understand that a multitude of activities included in the program have disappeared over the years. Experiences that helped students integrate into our culture, such as a visit to Quebec City, Indian wheat peels, self-picking apples, etc.

In addition, the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration seems to be seeking to reduce the number of physical classes to increase the virtual offer. But learning in a group in the same place is so much more lively! We can bounce back on what the teacher has just said, exchange spontaneously, participate in corridor discussions. We learn better in class than in isolation in front of an impersonal screen. This is also what my friend confirms to me, who is himself a teacher. He notes that his students progress much faster when they are in person rather than online.

It is a safe bet that I will no longer be invited to improvise in a francization class. Of course, it makes me a little sad, but what makes me most furious is to think that these wonderful adults full of good will and courage, who could contribute to our society to their full potential, will be deprived of the services of competent and motivated teachers. Instead of seeing a formidable investment in francization classes, the government now seems to see it as a vulgar expense. I see a huge mess here.

Clark: Trudeau’s only mistake in admitting a mistake is not doing it sooner

2024/11/20 Leave a comment

Making the mistake, of course, is more serious than the timing of admitting that the government made the mistake in the first place:

…Mr. Trudeau spent a portion of the video shifting blame onto business lobbies screaming for foreign workers to reduce labour shortages – with a clip of Mr. Ford doing the same – and “bad actors” and colleges charging rich fees to booming numbers of foreign students. All that’s true, but it was the federal government’s job to control the numbers, and they didn’t. But Mr. Trudeau now concedes that.

Mr. Arnold said he wouldn’t advise the Prime Minister to make a speech about 10 mistakes. But this is a specific case.

“There’s a place for a politician to admit they haven’t gotten things right,” he said. “Because then it makes the solution feel like real change.”

Mr. Arnold noted that’s not the kind of thing the Liberals will put into their television ad campaigns. This is an attempt to shield against damage.

But the Liberals want voters to hear about it. The video includes news clips emphasizing what a big course change the government has just made on immigration – playing it up, not down. Mr. Trudeau needs Canadians to know about it, even if it means admitting a mistake.

New survey finds Canadians are feeling anxious about immigration

2024/11/20 Leave a comment

Would be nice if CBC would indicate in the article who carried out the survey but the findings make intuitive sense and largely track other surveys on the general questions (checked, online survey by Probe Research, no margin of error cannot be assigned):

Canadians are feeling increasingly uneasy about immigration and its role in generating “economic strain,” according to a new survey conducted by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Among other things, the survey found that many Canadians believe too much attention is being focused on newcomers and refugees, and that asylum seekers receive too many benefits.

The survey landed two weeks after Ottawa announced dramatic changes to its projected immigration numbers. On Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said in an online video that he should have acted more quickly to address problems with the immigration system.

The survey heard from 2,500 Canadians in both 2023 and 2024. This year, it found that a majority — 56 per cent — said they believe refugees and asylum seekers “receive too many benefits.” The report calls that a “significant increase” over the 49 per cent who said the same thing in 2023.

The survey also reported a “significant decrease” in the number of Canadians who believe immigration makes the country better — from 52 per cent in 2023 down to 44 per cent this year.

The 2024 survey also found that 41 per cent of Canadians believe there’s “too much attention focused on the rights of newcomers.”

“Among responses received in open-ended inquiries, there was a notable increase between 2023 and 2024 in sentiments that correlate immigration with economic strain in Canada,” the report said.

The CEO of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Isha Khan, told CBC News that “perceptions” about immigration are changing and the matter needs more study.

“That’s a point we really need to dig into,” Khan said. “We need to understand where those perceptions are coming from and how they impact our collective work.”

Immigration was only one aspect of the survey, entitled 2024 Foresights for Human Rights.

While just 11 per cent of respondents cited access to affordable housing as a top human rights issue, nearly 60 per cent said that right to housing had weakened over the last decade.

The report said that two in three respondents reported feeling optimistic about protecting human rights in Canada, particularly Indigenous rights and gender equity. Just one in three felt the same about human rights abroad….

Regg Cohn | Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau are talking to the wrong audience about Donald Trump

2024/11/20 Leave a comment

Focus on where we have a shared interest in irregular cross border arrivals:

…Rather than focusing solely on the northward flow of migrants into Canada, however, the federal government should be thinking hard about how to stop the southward flow into America which is much higher. After all, that’s what has grabbed the attention of the incoming U.S. border czar, Tom Homan, who happens to be from upstate New York, near the Ontario border.

He called the Canada-U.S. border an “extreme national security vulnerability,” predicting “tough conversations” with Ottawa. “There has to be an understanding from Canada that they can’t be a gateway to terrorists coming into the United States.”

While Canadians obsess about the notorious Roxham Road path into Canada, it turns out that borders are in the eye of the beholder — and very much a two-way street.

Ford and Trudeau are right to turn their minds to Trump. But the test of their tactics isn’t how persuasive-sounding they seem when speaking to Canadians, but how effective they are in winning over the Americans in difficult negotiations ahead.

So far, both are following their re-election playbooks. But both will be judged by Canadian voters on how they play their hands with the Americans, not how they sound on the domestic campaign trail.

Farber | Canada must confront its shameful history of harbouring Nazi war criminals

2024/11/20 Leave a comment

Agree:

…Yet, instead of setting the truth free, the government has offered a long line of opaque justifications for withholding the Deschênes documents. Most recently, federal government departments have claimed that releasing these documents could somehow embolden Russia in its war against Ukraine. Such feeble excuses underestimate the intelligence of Canadians and erode public trust in the transparency, accountability, and integrity of our government.

It’s time for Canada to stop concealing the truth and release the Deschênes documents, fully and unconditionally. If the documents embarrass our country, so be it. These documents hold stories of atrocities committed in Europe, lives lost and justice denied. But they also hold the potential for education and healing — a way forward to confront uncomfortable truths about our nation’s past.

Only by revealing the past can we begin the work of reconciliation, educating future generations and building a more just and principled nation. It’s an imperative that Canada can no longer ignore.

Kelly McParland: Of the long list of Liberal blunders, immigration takes the cake

2024/11/20 Leave a comment

Reasonable assessment:

Canada stands out amid the fray, however. For decades, Canadians expressed a pride approaching smugness in the high levels of support for ever-rising immigration quotas and the civility of the welcome offered newcomers. There was widespread agreement that immigration brought with it growth, energy, new ideas, broad experience and an array of benefits in food, music, style, the arts and other cultural attractions.

No more. The Trudeau government now sees electoral advantage  — or more likely necessity — in hot-footing it to the front of the deportation parade, as if it weren’t responsible for the policies that produced the parade in the first place. In a sharp reversal of previous positions,  Immigration Minister Marc Miller proclaimed last week in Vancouver that whatever it was Ottawa thought its border policies were achieving was no longer operative.

“It’s clear that the age of unlimited supply of cheap foreign labour is over, and I think that is a good thing,” he announced.

“Bringing the numbers down, I think, is very important to making sure that we aren’t simply chasing short-term gain for a lot of long-term pain.”

Short-term gain is precisely what the Liberal approach to immigration has been all about. Annual admissions have almost doubled since 2015. The government saw it as a way to secure reliable votes from grateful newcomers, provide abundant low-wage labour, fill schools with foreign students paying high tuitions, and support Liberals’ eagerness to portray themselves as caring, tolerant and good-hearted.

Instead, the rise in population is blamed for a housing crisis, college campuses have become puppy mills for overcharged students, tens of thousands of newcomers have seen their hopes of a permanent new life in Canada dashed, and Canada’s international reputation has been badly sullied. The number of students seeking asylum has grown from about 1,800 in 2018 to more than 12,500 in 2023. In the first nine months of this year, there had already been almost 14,000 requests. More than 1.2 million people granted temporary residency are being told to leave by next year in what would be an unprecedented outflow. The backlog in refugee claims has reached 260,000, creating a lineup so lengthy it allows claimants to spend additional years in the country awaiting their hearing.

A big problem with well-meaning, but ill-considered, social programs is that they bring the aim itself into disrepute when they go wrong. Eight years ago, when Justin Trudeau was keen on differentiating his views from a bellicose new U.S. president named Trump, he fired off a message obviously intended to reflect Canada’s superior righteousness.

“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith,” he tweeted.

The day after Trump was voted back into the White House this month, all that had changed.

“Canadians quite rightly believe that it needs to be a decision of Canada and Canadians who comes to our country and who doesn’t,” asserted Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

“That is something that’s really important, it’s fundamental.”

Trudeau says he could have acted faster on immigration changes, blames ‘bad actors’

2024/11/19 Leave a comment

Apart from the largely dodging responsibility by the PM, Conservative leader Poilievre comments of note:

….When reached for comment, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s spokesperson Sebastian Skamski referred The Canadian Press to an interview Mr. Poilievre did with CKNW 980’s The Jas Johal Show in Vancouver where Mr. Poilievre discussed immigration.

In that interview, Mr. Poilievre said much of his criticism of the current immigration system is coming from what Mr. Trudeau himself has said since enacting these recent changes.

“Now, he’s basically denouncing his entire immigration policy and expecting us to believe that he can fix the problems that he caused,” Mr. Poilievre said.

“The bottom line is we have to fix our immigration, get back to the best system in the world, the one that brought my wife here as a refugee legally and lawfully, the one that brought so many people here to pursue the Canadian promise and that’s what I’m going to do as prime minister.”

Mr. Poilievre has previously said he would tie immigration rates to available housing while considering other factors such as access to health care and jobs….
