A NOTE FROM CIR:

For decades, immigration has been sold to us as a moral obligation, a financial requirement and a natural inevitability by greedy corporations putting big profits before what’s best for Canadians.

Support for an aggressive immigration policy has been marketed to us like a product by interests who are unconcerned for Canada but devoted to their shareholders. Almost everyone bought in, and those who show reluctance  are derided. However, this latest move from RBC is such a clear example of why immigration is evil and how its justification to Canadians has been nothing but a scheme to perpetuate the worst aspects of capitalism.

 Writ large, immigration creates an unlimited source of consumers and a race to the bottom for wage-payers by importing an increasingly desperate population of job seekers.

 Marx had it almost right: immigration is the reserve army of labour, and an equally inexhaustible contingent of consumerism.

 It is important to be reminded that sentiments critical of immigration are not strictly right-wing. Big business right-wingers can never get enough immigration. Big business wants open borders.

TORONTO — A Toronto man charged with plotting to derail a VIA Rail train fled to Canada from Germany after his family was “terrorized” by anti-immigrant groups there, according to federal refugee documents.

Before arriving in Canada, Raed Jaser and his family spent two years in Berlin, where a Molotov cocktail was thrown at their home. The incident “terrorized his entire family,” their lawyer argued during their refugee proceedings.

Tighter language requirements will help immigrants and Canada
April 27, 2013. 9:59 am • Section: The Search, Immigration

It’s hard to learn a new language. An internal 2012 Immigration Canada report has revealed a rising proportion of immigrants, more than 600,000, work in Canada in a language other than English and French. And most of them, 60 per cent, say they cannot carry on a conversation in either of Canada’s official languages.

Stories regarding language barriers have become common in Canada.

The newcomer struggling to speak English who, as a result, has grave trouble trying to get a job.

Why Conservatives Always Lose
Posted on April 20, 2013 by Baron Bodissey

We’ve often noted in this space that modern conservatives — and this is true on both sides of the Atlantic — seem determined to imitate their Progressive colleagues. It’s as if they say to the electorate, “Vote for us. We’re just like the liberals, only not quite so radical.” Dymphna’s most recent post talked about some of the reasons why the Right always seems to be singing from the same hymnal as the Left — just a quarter-tone flat and half a beat behind.

In the following article from Politically Incorrect, Manfred Kleine-Hartlage discusses the failure of conservative intellectuals to come to grips with the reasons for their perennial position on the sidelines. The author draws on a new book by Alex Kurtagic to highlight the need for intellectual depth and — dare I say it? — innovation in the thinking of those who would pass on the flame of traditional culture.

Timberline Secondary hosted its 14th World Vision 30 Hour Famine event this year overnight on April 12th and 13th. Twenty six students fasted for the cause and raised over $4,000 for people they don’t even know! For 30 hours these thoughtful young people experienced, in a very small way, what millions experience overseas, and even here in Canada, every day.

OTTAWA – Canadian pilots are yet another group to suffer job losses as a result of the Conservatives’ mismanagement of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

“Due to the Conservatives’ failure to manage this program, some banks, airlines, restaurants and mines have been able to bring foreign workers into Canada and pay them less than they would Canadian workers,” said NDP Labour critic Alexandre Boulerice (Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie). “How can they justify hiring foreign pilots to work for Canadian airlines, when Canadian pilots are having to go abroad to find work?”

In order for foreign workers to be brought into Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) must provide a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) that no Canadian workers are available. Between September and October 2012, 119 positive LMOs were issued from HRSDC which led to the hiring of pilots from abroad. The TFWP was intended to balance the needs of Canadian workers and businesses. However, the Conservatives have failed in their responsibility to prevent it from being abused.

“Since 2002, the foreign worker program has tripled in size and recent changes, which include allowing businesses to pay foreign workers 15 per cent less than Canadians for the same job, have more to do with keeping wages down than filling any labour shortages,” said NDP Immigration, Citizenship and Multiculturalism critic Jinny Sims (Newton – North Delta).
