Migrant filmed hurling vile abuse at female cop and vowing to make her his 'slave' moans he is the victim of racism after being shamed over his behavior - "A migrant who was caught hurling foul-mouthed sexist abuse at a police officer claims he is the victim of racism after being hit with a fine for the vile tirade. Mohamed Bekkali, 24, a migrant living in Montreal, Canada, filmed himself ranting at a female cop during a traffic stop, telling her: 'If I want, I'll buy you and make you my slave.' 'Filthy f***ing w***e, shut your f***ing mouth, with your b***h face,' he said to the cop, who had reportedly pulled him over for driving with tinted windows in June 2025. In further clips to his since-deleted TikTok account, Bekkali then shared footage of himself berating two more police officers, telling a male cop: 'I think he's angry that we f***ed his daughter yesterday.' 'That son of a b***h, bald piece of s***, son of a b***h, motherf***er, that I probably f***ed his sister,' he screamed down a street at the officers. Bekkali was fined $228 for his rant at the female police officer, according to Canadian outlet La Presse. After the videos circulated social media and sparked outrage across Canada, Bekkali claimed in another video that he was the victim of 'social and socio-profiling.' In his clip defending himself, which was deleted, Bekkali said he berated the police officers because he dislikes police, and said the 'problem has never been the sex of the officer.' Bekkali said in his video defending his actions that he was targeting police because of his hatred of law enforcement, saying he 'puts both male and female police officers in their place.' 'The problem is a police force riddled with abuse, arrogance and incompetence, to the point of pushing perfectly normal, honest citizens to their breaking point,' he said, according to Journal De Quebec... Bekkali claimed he was being unfairly targeted and scrutinized for the clips, saying he is 'arrested every day' for 'reasons that are more outlandish than the next.' His foul-mouthed rants at the police officers are not Bekkali's only run in with the law in Canada, according to the Journal. The outlet cited Canadian records that showed Bekkali has received at least four driving tickets in the past three years, including speeding at 55mph in a 30mph zone. He was also caught driving 34mph in a 20mph zone and 63mph in a 40mph zone. In 2020, he also pleaded guilty to using forged documents to commit a crime, and received an absolute discharge - meaning he admitted guilt but received no penalty, reported La Presse... He told the host that he is constantly harassed by police because of his appearance, and said he did not understand slang from 'Quebecers' - meaning people from Quebec. The Montreal Police Service said he was not fined at the time of his rant at the female police officer, but after review the department said Monday he was hit with a $228 penalty for his 'misogynistic and degrading' remarks. This week, Canadian attorney Vicky Powell also filed a police complaint against Bekkali after she alleged he threatened her during a live stream online. She said she told Bekkali he 'can't talk to women like that' in reference to the clip of him abusing the police officer, leading him to allegedly threaten her. She says he told her: 'All the guys who talked s*** about me ended up badly. You're here, you think you're a lawyer, nothing's going to happen to you?'"
Why don’t Hong Kong Canadians just say they are Chinese? Because of subethnicity, and this is why it matters | South China Morning Post - "Hong Kong people come from a colony and ought to act “more civilised”. Taiwanese are “old-fashioned”. Mainland Chinese are “rich but rude”. Welcome to the awkward world of Chinese subethnicity in Canada, where its various communities tend to self-segregate, discriminate against each other and generally defy assumptions of homogeneity among “Chinese Canadians” that are imposed from outside the group... “The influence of transnational politics on interpersonal interactions at the individual level cannot be underestimated,” the study concludes, with political conversation “taboo” between the groups. “Avoidance is a major strategy,” says the study, published last month in the journal Asian Ethnicity... Some of the results were “common sense among Chinese”, he said, but might surprise others. People in the Chinese subethnicities tend to stick to their own kind when making friends. Language can divide them. And when relatively uncommon friendships do emerge across the subethnic boundaries, they usually happen in non-Chinese environments, where a Hongkonger and a mainland immigrant might find common ground as outsiders... He said the tendency of Hong Kong-origin people to now identify as Hongkongers or Hong Kong Canadians – and not simply as Chinese, or Chinese Canadians – had solidified since the 1997 handover. It is a tendency reflected in previous surveys from Hong Kong, one of which found that only 8.9 per cent of people there identified solely as Chinese , compared with 32.1 per cent at the time of the handover. That tendency is even more extreme among young people: in 2017, Hong Kong University pollsters found that only 3.1 per cent of respondents in Hong Kong aged 18-29 identified as Chinese, compared with 65 per cent who identified as Hongkongers... Frances Hui, a Hong Kong student at Boston’s Emerson College, wrote a column titled “I am from Hong Kong, not China” for Emerson’s student paper. A strong backlash from mainland Chinese students ensued... Yan said navigating the subethnic Chinese landscape was challenging for an outsider. “I would say the No 1 thing to know is that being ‘Chinese’ is not homogenous,” Yan said. “And what about the ‘old overseas Chinese’, loh hua qiao [lo wah kiu in Cantonese], who have been here for two or three generations? They don’t like Hong Kong Chinese. They don’t like the new mainland Chinese. The differences are not just about from where you came. It’s when you came.” And frequently, this boiled down to class... in metro Vancouver, people born in mainland China now easily outnumber people born in Hong Kong, by 188,865 to 71,720 according to the 2016 census (with 37,425 born in Taiwan). And Mandarin is on the brink of replacing Cantonese as the most prevalent non-English mother tongue in the city... "You go to T&T [a Chinese supermarket chain] now, and if you speak Cantonese you get asked ‘Why don’t you speak Mandarin?’”.
Upto 40% of Canada’s top 1% income earners have moved to the US : r/TorontoRealEstate - "Keyword here is top 1% “income”, not wealth. Boomers with multi million dollar real estate portfolios are staying put while young people with high paying jobs like tech are leaving Canada in droves. More devastating is, the report estimates upto 50% of top 10% earners in Canada have moved to the US. Yet, the other insane stat is you need to have a top 5% income level to afford a median home in Canada. Apparently half of the people that can afford homes are leaving the country. And yet, every Canadian sub calls for more income taxes which basically kills any upward mobility and pushes smart young people out. We need to fundamentally rethink how income tax rates."

>67% of the are 20-44 year olds.

In other words, it's Canada's youngest, most talented and educated population."

Canada’s international student program blasted by auditor - "Canada’s Immigration Department failed to crack down on study permit applicants and holders flagged for potential fraud and non-compliance — and did not even know if those with expired permits had left the country, a government audit has found. Between 2023 and 2024, more than 153,000 post-secondary international students were identified as potentially non-compliant with study permit rules, but officials had funding to probe only 2,000 cases annually, according to a report released Monday by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada. The department began 4,057 investigations, but 41 per cent of these cases could not be closed because the students did not respond; another 50 cases were identified as non-compliant and requiring further follow-up... According to the audit, officials identified 800 approved study permits issued between 2018 and 2023 where applicants had either used fraudulent documentation or misrepresented information to gain entry to Canada. Most of them later applied for other immigration permits once in the country, and half have been approved. “The absence of having a warning or something on their file to say fraudulent documentation or misrepresentation was used in the initial application means you weren’t able to then apply rigour on the second application,” Hogan cautioned... The audit also reviewed the status of the 549,000 people whose study permits expired in 2024; it found that 93 per cent of people were allowed to remain in Canada, managing to maintain legal status, and identified 39,500 people who should no longer be in the country. The Canada Border Services Agency confirmed about 40 per cent or 16,000 of these people had left."

Refugee who returned to Pakistan 6 times could keep Canadian status - "A Federal Court judge set aside a ruling by Canada’s Refugee Protection Division (RPD), saying it failed “to engage with a critical piece of evidence” when it revoked a Pakistani man’s refugee status after he returned to the country on multiple occasions. Irfan Ahmad arrived in Canada under the “convention refugee abroad” program in 2014, citing his status as a member of the Ahmadi community, a persecuted Muslim minority group in Pakistan. However, since attaining refugee status, immigration authorities found that Ahmad twice visited the Pakistani consulate in Toronto, both times to receive a passport. Between January 2016 and March 2022, Ahmad returned to Pakistan six times, spending 336 days in the country, the ruling notes. The RPD, a division of the Immigration Refugee Board of Canada, found Ahmad “voluntarily re-availed himself of the protection of Pakistan” and “had not provided sufficient evidence to rebut the presumption,” the judgment reads. The tribunal found Ahmad’s description “of the agents of persecution ‘evolved depending on his audience,’” shifting between fear of religious extremists and government authorities on different occasions. The RPD found his statements to be inconsistent... Immigration lawyer Sergio Karas struggled to understand Go’s decision after reading the ruling and seeing the justice repeatedly acknowledging much of the tribunal’s initial findings. “It seems to be that she bends over backwards in this decision to find a way to root in favour of the applicant,” Karas said by phone on Thursday. “I think it’s grasping at straws here.” Karas said he is familiar with the Ahmadi community from his work in the immigration space and the persecution they face in Pakistan, but sees Ahmad’s repeated and lengthy visits as undermining his refugee status. “The problem with the argument is the length of time and the number of trips that the applicant made,” Karas wrote over email. “While brief trips for emergencies may be understandable, multiple trips over an extended period of time, and remaining in the country of alleged persecution for weeks or months, seem to be at odds with the alleged fear of persecution. Also, obtaining Pakistani passports not once, but twice, points to a lack of concern for safety.” Karas believes there is an urgent need to reform immigration law, particularly existing loopholes governing refugee status. He pointed to the spike in refugee applications in recent years, driven, in part, by foreign students seeking to extend their residency in the country. Figures reported by the Globe and Mail from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada show there were roughly 1,500 asylum claims from international students in 2018, which ballooned to over 11,000 by 2023."
23F - Toronto club scene has gotten creepy : r/TorontoHangoutFriends - " I've been clubbing in Toronto since I was 19, and I've always loved it; the music, the energy, dancing with friends, letting loose. But lately, it's started to feel uncomfortable in ways I didn't expect. It's not like men approaching you at the club is a new thing, but recently it's gotten creepy on a whole different level. Since the end of 2024, many Indian/ South Asian men at Toronto clubs are not taking no for an answer. Some of what l've seen includes:
staring while you dance in a way that feels creepy
• trying to touch or dance with you after you've said no
• ignoring personal boundaries and just not takin NO for an answer.
The worst part? One of my girlfriends was actually followed home just last week. I've talked to other women who go out in Toronto regularly, and they feel the same way. It’s also gotten worse online. There feels like there’s no space for us anymore even digitally. If you post here and mention “girl” friends, you’ll get random private messages with Instagram handles or unsolicited advances. It’s exhausting. I don’t understand what the expectation is when someone reaches out like that after you’ve clearly just been talking about safety and boundaries. Again, this isn’t about attacking anyone’s identity. It’s about behaviour. Not taking no for an answer whether in person or online isn’t okay. Women should be able to exist in nightlife spaces and online spaces without feeling constantly pursued or ignored when they set boundaries."
Smith and Poilievre find someone to blame for their problems: immigrants - The Globe and Mail

'That's Crazy': Conservative MPs Confront Canada's Refugee Chief Over Iranian Regime Suspect Shielded From Public View - "The report found the IRB had accepted tens of thousands of asylum claims from a list of nations that didn’t require in-person interviews, including Iran and Syria. It documented acceptance rates running nearly double those of Canada's peer nations, and a backlog that has grown from 17,000 claims in 2016 to nearly 300,000 today. She confirmed for the first time that more than 23,000 of those claims were approved without a hearing or a single question asked."
Jamie Sarkonak: European citizens claiming asylum in Canada is a fraud - "the Federal Court gave a family seeking refugee status another shot at remaining in Canada. But they weren’t fleeing war — they were fleeing Spain. The family (aside from the mother) were Spanish nationals who claimed that they were being pursued by a transnational criminal organization, and that police were so useless that it warranted refugee status in Canada. Originally from Latin America, they moved to Europe when the father allegedly received a death threat from the gang in question. Spain didn’t feel safe either, however: the father’s relatives there said the gangsters had come looking for him, and the court heard evidence that the organization recently committed several murders there... you might be wondering: Why can Spanish nationals, based in the developed, allied, European Union, claim asylum in Canada in the first place? Well, in short, we allow anyone from anywhere to submit asylum claims, including democracies with functional, accountable justice systems. Since 2020, we’ve had claims from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Claims are just the first step to becoming a protected person who is permitted to stay in Canada, and many of those from western countries will be rejected. But even this is a problem: asylum seekers in the queue receive all sorts of social supports and take up capacity in our courts, health-care systems and schools. Even those whom we send back will cost us greatly. Claimants coming to us from developed democracies — such as our Spanish friends — often argue that they need to live in Canada because they lack adequate state protection at home. While it’s presumed that countries will protect their people with their police and courts, those who feel that protection is inadequate can claim asylum on that basis (whether that claim is accepted is a different matter, but it can take a long time for that process to work out). It’s a bizarre standard, given that it describes many parts of present-day Canada. More than one city is out of its depth trying to handle the local gang wars and daily cases of extortion . Nevertheless, over the years Canada has offered itself up to citizens of safe or allied countries. In 1985, a dual British-Irish national and former member of the Irish National Liberation Army claimed asylum here after the paramilitary group sentenced him to death for allowing hostages to escape. He wasn’t safe in Ireland, and it wasn’t clear whether he would be safe in Britain either, given his past involvement in terrorism and the fact it could be used to bar his entry. His case went all the way up to the Supreme Court, and it wasn’t until 1997 that he was finally deported . The inadequate state protection argument has given asylum claimants of all sorts of backgrounds additional kicks at the can. A trans-identified American did this in 2019, arguing that Colorado police and the U.S. in general couldn’t be trusted for protection. They lost at the Federal Court in 2024 but an appeal appears to be in the works; the individual still appears to be in Canada, identifying as an “Exile from America” on a social media site for adult fans of My Little Pony. Numerous examples can be found among Hungarian nationals alleging that police won’t protect them because they are gay , or, more often , Roma . Indeed, the Canadian system seems to be very open to hearing out the cases of Hungarian Roma, who show up regularly in our immigration courts. Their cases are often dismissed, but their lengthy deportation fights secure them Canadian benefits for the time they’re here. Worse, they are known for committing crimes while they’re here; in 2012, a prosecutor estimated they cost Canadians $500 million to deal with. More Roma asylum claimants, and subsequent crimes , also come to us from the Czech Republic and Romania . Egregiously, in February 2025, an asylum adjudicator granted refugee status to a family of Nigerians, some of whom had French citizenship, the rest permanent residency. The mother alleged that she’d been trafficked by organized crime to Italy many years ago, escaped to France, and had lived for 12 years before the man who trafficked her found her again and began threatening her. She never contacted police and eventually fled to Canada. It was a terrible situation, but nothing so dire that it should require Canada to make refugees out of citizens from a fellow G7 country. The asylum adjudicator nevertheless found “serious shortcomings” in France that deprived these people of state protection, including racism, sexism, and anti-immigrant sentiment. This was overturned by an asylum appeals tribunal later in 2025, but it’s a problem that someone in the immigration system approved them to begin with. In 2019, immigration adjudicators rejected a claim by a German citizen who impregnated a married Muslim woman and received a death threat from her husband. In 2020, they rejected the claims of Belgian nationals originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who alleged that the justice system couldn’t keep them safe from their abusive father/husband. A similar case by Afghan-Dutch nationals fleeing domestic violence was rejected in 2025. That may sound like the system is working, but it’s not. These claims take years to process, and during that time, we offer them all sorts of social services. For example, an Eritrean man who gained Swedish citizenship and lived there for many years came to Canada and claimed asylum in 2014, alleging that Swedish police weren’t protecting him from persecution by the Eritrean government. Canada was still trying to deport him in 2024 — 10 years later — because removing people from the country takes an absurd amount of steps. Canada’s asylum system needs a complete overhaul. There should be a narrow list of countries from which we accept claims, and a firm cap on how many we accept from each. It’s foolish to waste our limited resources on fake refugees from western democracies."
If Europeans can seek asylum in Canada, that means that their own countries aren't safe. So they shouldn't accept refugees, to protect them
