Dei Civitas on X - "Canada is no longer a people
In his well-known work The City of God (Civitas Dei), the fifth-century philosopher and pastor Augustine of Hippo gave a clear definition of what holds a nation together... he argued that a people is not defined by geography or blood, but by a multitude of rational beings united by a common agreement on the objects of their love. Canada no longer meets this definition. The country has abandoned the higher values that once bound it together and has allowed its citizens to be divided into competing and mutually exclusive value systems. This is not accidental. The shift from higher to lower values at the top is being reinforced by the deliberate fragmentation of the citizenry below, all in service of greater state power
I. The Top-Down Force: The Abandonment of Higher Values
Augustine used the term libido dominandi, the lust for mastery, to describe what happens when rulers abandon higher moral principles. Once leaders no longer serve a higher good, they begin to seek power for its own sake. Canada’s Constitution opens by recognizing the supremacy of God and the rule of law. These are higher values rooted in the Christian tradition that once shaped Canadian society. Yet in recent years, those in power have steadily replaced these principles with the raw pursuit of control. The invocation of the Emergencies Act in 2022 to freeze the bank accounts of peaceful protesters without court orders was a clear demonstration of executive power overriding established law. Bills C-11 and C-18, sold as cultural protection, function in practice as tools for the state to regulate speech and digital content. These moves reflect a deeper shift. The higher values of God and law have been set aside in favor of the lower value of maintaining and expanding raw power.
II. The Bottom-Up Force: The Destruction of Unity Through Competing Value Systems
Augustine was clear that a people requires not only higher values, but unity in those values. When citizens no longer agree on the same basic objects of love, the society ceases to be a coherent people and becomes a collection of competing factions. Canada is now experiencing this breakdown on a massive scale. In recent years, Canada has admitted over 400,000 permanent residents annually while also maintaining more than 2.6 million temporary residents. In 2025 alone, more than 2.1 million temporary resident permits expired, with another 1.8 million set to expire in 2026. Large numbers of those whose permits have expired have simply remained in the country rather than leaving. At the same time, there has been little serious effort to integrate newcomers, whether permanent or temporary, into a shared set of Canadian principles. The result is the creation of many competing and mutually exclusive value systems within the same borders..
Instead of one national culture with common moral foundations, Canada now contains parallel societies with fundamentally different views on gender, religion, free speech, individual rights, the value of human life, and the role of the state. Polling from the Angus Reid Institute and Environics consistently shows declining national identity and rising identification with ethnic or religious subgroups. When that common agreement breaks down, the nation stops being a single body and becomes a collection of tribes.
III. The Synthesis: Fragmentation in Service of Power
These two forces, the abandonment of higher values at the top and the fragmentation of values at the bottom, are not separate problems. They reinforce each other. By abandoning the higher Christian-influenced principles of the Constitution in favor of the libido dominandi, the managerial class has created a system that requires greater coercion to hold together. At the same time, by flooding the country with competing value systems through unchecked immigration and large numbers of temporary residents who remain after their permits expire, it has deliberately weakened the social cohesion that would allow citizens to resist that coercion. A divided population is far easier to manage than a united one. This is the classic pattern of the earthly city in its most disordered form: rulers driven by the lust for power and a people stripped of any common higher love that could bind them together. As Canada moves further from its constitutional foundations and deeper into value fragmentation, it is transforming from a nation united by shared principles into a population managed through division and control."
Wiretap Media on X - "💥EXPLOSIVE ATIP: Immigration Canada knew Indian agents were running MASSIVE FRAUD in the trucking industry and the student visa program as early as 2017 — and stamped the evidence "DO NOT DISCLOSE." According to records released under the Access to Information Act, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) maintained an internal procedures manual for its New Delhi visa office documenting systemic fraud across the student visa and temporary foreign worker streams. The manual instructs officers to treat fraud as anticipated rather than exceptional The most damning thing about this scandal is not the fraud — it's that the government predicted it, kept it running, and then stamped the file "DO NOT DISCLOSE."

Massive influx of immigrant workers needed in Canada: Diplomat | Toronto Sun - "As almost 300 mostly unidentified Canadians attend a trade mission in Mumbai, the High Commissioner of India to Canada predicts that this country will need 15 million immigrants to meet the workforce needs of a growing economy in the next 10 years. “This is a new Canada and we are anticipating that things will happen fast. And Prime Minister (Mark) Carney, given his background as the governor of two banks, Bank of Canada, Bank of England, as well as Brookfield, his experience with investment with the economy, there is a lot of trust that he will be able to deliver on a lot of the things,” Dinesh Patnaik said in an interview on CPAC. Did India’s representative in Canada let the cat out of the bag regarding the country’s future? What else is in the bag?... “Canada understands this, Prime Minister Carney’s team understands this, so we’re working together to work out a talented innovation” to “get the best of talent best of people to come study work and contribute,” he added... The prime minister’s office has not yet responded regarding Patnaik’s comments. But what was said on this program would fundamentally change Canada and potentially double the population by 2036. Whatever you think of it, none of this is something Canadians have voted for, let alone have been consulted on. Most have never heard of the need for 15 million new workers, or that there is a trade trip in India where such discussions could be happening... I have asked both the federal and provincial government for a transparent list of Canadian individuals, business and government officials involved, but have not so far been forwarded this information... While I take a skeptics’ perspective on trade delegations, and big talk about creating 15 million jobs, or the New World Order, that is partially because I have seen government previously bring in thousands on special visas to take minimum-wage fast food jobs or attend private colleges — none of which helps Indians enjoy the Canadian dream or fix Canada’s current economic woes as a result of the trade war with the United States, or solidify replacing that market. But even if you are prepared to accept the narrative, if these largely anonymous participants are talking about the future of Canada and its resources in India, the average Canadian should be in on this conversation and get a vote on whether they want the country’s population to double."
Wiretap Media on X - "💥MAJOR BREAKING: Ottawa scrapped the only rule that required employers to hire Canadians first. Buried in paragraph two of an IRCC release, employers no longer have to advertise a job, prove no qualified Canadian applied, or pay $1,000 for an LMIA — for a high-wage job offer to count toward permanent residence. The Labour Market test is gone from the PR route, and verification moves out of ESDC, whose mandate is protecting Canadian workers, and into IRCC, whose mandate is selecting immigrants. Still think the great replacement is a conspiracy?"
Canadians moving to US in record numbers, immigration up 142% | National Post - "Drawing from recent data released by the White House that show immigration to the U.S. has fallen from almost every country except Canada, the non-profit civic group Build Canada is sounding the alarm on a potential brain drain from this country into the United States. A social media post from Rapid Response 47, a White House account launched last year, shows legal immigration down this year from almost every corner of the Earth. Drop-off ranges from 16 per cent in Western Europe and 17 per cent in Southeast Asia to 89 per cent in central Africa and 99 per cent in central Asia... Pulling data from Statistics Canada and elsewhere, the group notes that 120,640 people left Canada last year, the highest number since records began in 1952. It adds that 34 per cent of immigrants with PhDs leave Canada within 25 years, compared to just 16 per cent of high school grads — the so-called “leaky bucket” problem. It also found that tech workers typically make 46 per cent more in the U.S. than in Canada. The group warned that fewer rivals for U.S. green cards from the rest of the world will continue to make it easier for Canadians to head south, and that “those who go are mostly highly skilled and well paid.” Lucy Hargreaves, co-founder and CEO of Build Canada, said in an interview that such numbers represent a serious problem. “It is this cohort of highly talented, highly educated Canadians who have the potential to be top earners who are going to the U.S. to work in high-growth industries, especially software grads, but also other professional services,” she said... Hargreaves noted that salaries are generally higher in the U.S., while capital gains taxes are more lax. “Our income tax structure is also, generally speaking, quite uncompetitive with many states,” she said. “The tax brackets for top income earners kick in at a much lower income in Canada than they do in the U.S. And cost of living in major Canadian cities is incredibly expensive.”... But the problem also offers a solution. A recent paper by Build Canada notes: “There are ample levers to be used to tackle this issue that remain un-deployed.” The paper lists “bold policy choices” that include forgiveness of student loans, income-tax reform (or a deduction for specific high-demand jobs) and a five-year “founder’s tax break” for founders of newly incorporated Canadian-controlled private corporations."

Immigration is higher than Ottawa has been telling us | National Post - "In the same week Ottawa revealed that immigration numbers weren’t contracting nearly as much as they’d said, Prime Minister Mark Carney mused about raising them back to never-before-seen highs. Earlier this year, Government of Canada figures showed that, for the first time, Canada’s population had contracted over the course of a calendar year. In 2025, according to those estimates, the Canadian population had gone down by about 102,000. Then, earlier this month, Statistics Canada revised the figures and reported that Canada was actually still adding people by the hundreds of thousands. According to the revised estimates, instead of going down by 102,000, the Canadian population in 2025 actually went up by 280,000. Only a few days later, on Sept. 27, the New York Times published a lengthy interview with Carney in which he pledged to eventually “resume some controlled increase in the population, which is the nature of Canada.” “So that will happen, and we just want to make sure that we’ve got it under control,” he said... Even if 2025 had indeed been a year of population contraction, even that statistic would have only been possible because Canada was coming off the most dramatic migration surge in its history. In just three years between 2022 and 2025, the Canadian population surged from 38,559,788 to 41,435,888 – an increase of 2.8 million. Put another way, at the beginning of 2025, roughly one in every 16 people in Canada had arrived in the country within the last three years... Canada doesn’t actually have any reliable figures on whether temporary migrants are leaving the country at the expiry of their visa. At a House of Commons hearing earlier this year, a Tory critic asked Immigration Minister Lena Diab why Canada wasn’t tracking migrant exits, prompting Diab to call it a “good question.” “I wondered the same thing, but that’s how Canada has been throughout its history,” she replied, before saying Ottawa was working on a pilot program to do just that. All the while, the rate of asylum-seekers living in Canada continues to reach all-time highs. In his New York Times interview, Carney said that asylum-seekers “are down by one-third on a flow basis.” But here again, the reduction is only coming after a meteoric surge in the category, while the net number of asylum-seekers in the country is officially larger than the population of Halifax. According to the most recent Government of Canada figures, there are 530,000 foreign nationals living in Canada as asylum claimants. This is up 50,000 from when Carney first took office in April 2025. It’s also more than three times higher than the 160,000 asylum-seekers counted as recently as 2022. As noted in an analysis by Better Dwelling, Statistics Canada’s revised population estimates don’t just mean that there are 382,000 more people in the country than expected. It also means that several other indicators are slightly worse, including unemployment and GDP per capita. According to Better Dwelling, the population revision means that the latest unemployment rate, officially estimated at 6.7 per cent, is probably closer to 7.6 per cent. “That would make it the third-highest report since the pandemic,” it read."
EDITORIAL: Higher immigration is a looming disaster | Toronto Sun - "Based on their record, Canadians should get very nervous whenever the federal Liberals start talking about increasing Canada’s immigration levels, again. Particularly so when Prime Minister Mark Carney casually signals the Liberals are about to do it not in Parliament, but in an interview with the New York Times. Back when he was running for Liberal leader, Carney said excessive immigration under his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was one of the reasons the Canadian economy was in bad shape before U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff war... Let’s review how we got here. In 2022, the Trudeau government proudly announced it was dramatically hiking Canada’s immigration targets from 405,000 permanent residents annually — which at the time was a record high — to 465,000 in 2023, 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 starting in 2025 and continuing at that level in subsequent years. Just two years later, having ignored warnings even from their own experts that their high immigration levels were contributing to Canada’s housing crisis and putting strain on the country’s already beleaguered health care system, Trudeau and Co. finally admitted they had made a mistake. By then, polls showed most Canadians believed the immigration targets were too high, while the Liberals attributed criticism of their policies to racism, before they finally did an about face and lowered their immigration targets."

Feds left municipalities in the dark on immigration: Big City Mayors - "many mayors were frustrated with the provincial and federal governments over a lack of assistance in dealing with their respective cities’ homelessness crises, an increase in asylum seekers, and a surge in immigration caused by federal Liberal policies. The chat logs start on July 15, 2023, with representatives from Guelph asking other cities and their mayors whether they were also experiencing overwhelmed social services and a surge in refugees entering their cities. Others discussed conversations with the then-Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, who allegedly indicated that there would be no additional assistance to deal with the influx caused by the feds' immigration and refugee policies beyond the “existing Federal dollars and programs in the medium term.” One representative from Niagara said that the surge in refugees into Niagara has been “putting strain on our already full shelters for the last several months.” Mayors, including Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier, acknowledged that many of Ontario’s “big cities” were experiencing capacity issues with the “recent flood of asylum seekers” that had been brought into their cities. “Ajax has had over 200 in the last 2 weeks. Regional resources are exhausted. Of our 200, approx half are documented and in the system so the Feds have or are supposed to have provided funding for them,” Collier said in one message. Collier also noted that social services to support and house the new refugee claimants had now been made the region’s responsibility. Mayors and city representatives discussed homeless encampments, addictions and public disorder as well. A common theme among many mayors was that the provincial and federal governments weren’t doing enough to help cities address the issues. Oakville Mayor Rob Burton was particularly critical of the Liberal government's immigration and refugee intake policies, noting that mass immigration “broke the housing market” by increasing demand that municipalities were not prepared for. “Ottawa broke the housing market with an unsustainable and unpredicted and unprepared for increase in demand from their massive increase in immigration,” Burton said in 2024. Hamilton Mayor and former NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, on the other hand, responded that immigration was needed but that the federal and provincial governments failed to account for where all of those “needed” immigrants would live. Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe even complained that municipalities were not adequately consulted about immigration and refugee targets before the federal government set immigration policy. McCabe complained about Ukrainians arriving to study in Waterloo and discovering they did not qualify as refugees for purposes affecting tuition. She called the situation “untenable.” “The federal government needs to start talking to municipalities before they set their immigration and refugee targets”"

Nana0000 on X - "Doug Ford called letters telling temporary workers to leave “the craziest thing I have ever heard,” and a drop of about 50,000 people “dangerous.” The word on the permit is temporary. He is treating the exit date as an attack. Ontario was 15.16 million people on July 1, 2022. It was 16.26 million on July 1, 2026. That is 1.1 million added in four years. In 2022–23 the province took 463,000. In 2023–24 it took 472,000. About 3 percent a year, almost all immigration and temporary residents, not births. Through that boom, real GDP per person fell about 1 percent. Youth unemployment is 12.9 percent, against a pre-pandemic average of 10.8 percent. Ontario’s jobless rate sits above the national rate. Toronto’s price-to-income ratio is still near double digits. His own labour minister refused Ottawa’s offer to lift the rural low-wage temporary-foreign-worker cap, and cited youth unemployment. An audit of the nominee program found fewer than half of skilled-trades applicants were still in the trade. Streams were shut for fraud. Then the premier went on camera and defended the headcount. Canada does not reliably record whether a temporary resident leaves when the permit ends. Exit data are incomplete. Expired permits are not the same as confirmed departures. A program that cannot say who went home is not a temporary program. It is an open door with a label. A decline of 50,000 after a gain of more than a million is not a danger to the country. It is the first time the fine print has been read. Grandchildren do not inherit a press release. They inherit the rent, the wage, and the queue. Put the people who already live here first. Temporary means a date to go home."

Right now, Canada has about 26% or 27% of its population that is immigrants. And when you add second-generation immigrants, about 7 million, and you add visa holders, who are not Canadian citizens but residents, you're getting close to 45% of the population was not born in Canada, or their parents were not born in Canada.

L. Wayne Mathison on X - "Global News’s reporting on a classified CBSA intelligence report. The report says 4,000 Indian citizens who entered on study permits were charged with 17,929 offences between 2019 and 2023, and more than 13,040 charges were laid in 2024 against 2,418 Indian study-permit holders. Global also points out those 2,418 people represented just over 1% of the 188,125 Indian students that year. This makes me angry because it was 100% avoidable. For years Canadians who questioned the sheer scale of the international-student program were brushed off as fearful, anti-immigrant or worse. Now a CBSA intelligence report says organized criminals actually exploited the student and work permit systems to establish and expand operations in Canada. That deserves accountability, not another round of political excuses. And keep the distinction clear. The overwhelming majority of Indian students aren’t criminals. Blaming an entire community would be both wrong and stupid. The scandal is that Ottawa expanded a system faster than it could properly police it, creating opportunities for criminals while also putting legitimate immigrants and South Asian Canadians at risk. Global reports that CBSA described a “growing operational presence” of the Bishnoi gang and the use of Canada’s immigration programs for criminal purposes. The same report says crime charges involving Indian study-permit holders rose sharply between 2016 and 2024. Harper understood something very basic: immigration only maintains public support when Canadians believe the government knows who is entering, why they’re entering and whether the rules are being enforced. Immigration isn’t a virtue-signalling exercise. It’s one of the most serious responsibilities a government has. The Liberals let the system grow far beyond their ability to control it. Canadians are entitled to ask who knew, when they knew, and why it took this long to act."
The Immigration Paradox: How an Influx of Newcomers Has Led to Labour Shortages - "This study investigates the effects of Canada’s expansive immigration policy, implemented between 2016 and 2024, on labour shortages. It explores how the influx of permanent and temporary immigrants has affected the balance between labour supply and demand, with attention to whether the policy has met one of its key objectives – alleviating shortages in labour markets. It provides an analysis of labour market dynamics through the lens of the Beveridge curve, which tracks the joint path of unemployment and job vacancies over time. The study compares labour market tightness before, during, and after the pandemic and evaluates how rapidly rising immigration and the adoption of remote work have affected job vacancy rates in Canada. The arrival of immigrant workers has expanded the supply of labour to employers, but has also generated additional income and spending, and hence greater demand for labour throughout the economy. The macroeconomic evidence from this study indicates that, on balance, the increase in demand generated by immigration has more than likely outpaced the additional supply, potentially making economy-wide labour shortages more widespread rather than alleviating them."
Did Mass Immigration Make Canadians Poorer? - "Immigration did not create all of Canada’s economic problems, but historically high immigration—particularly immigration concentrated in lower-wage temporary streams—made several existing weaknesses more serious... Immigration is often discussed as though every form of immigration produces the same economic result. It does not. A physician, engineer, entrepreneur, scientist, or highly specialized technician may earn a strong income, pay substantial taxes, create employment, and make other workers more productive. Their contribution may extend far beyond the value of their individual labour. A worker earning close to minimum wage also contributes to the economy and deserves dignity and fair treatment. However, the fiscal and productivity effects are different. A high-income worker generally pays more in taxes than they receive in public services. A lower-income worker pays less income tax while still requiring access to healthcare, roads, transit, education for their children, housing infrastructure, and other public systems. This does not make the lower-income worker a burden as a person. It means governments must evaluate immigration policy based on more than the total number of people admitted. Canada’s traditional points system was built around this distinction. It prioritized education, language ability, work experience, and other measures of human capital because the country wanted immigration to raise productivity and living standards. Keller argues that Canada weakened this focus as it expanded temporary migration and responded to employer demands for lower-wage labour. The country did not simply bring in more people. It changed the economic composition of immigration."
