It's nothing but a bad woke. Maybe Canada will wake up out of this bad woke !! W.E.F.

all the left-wing parties do exactly the same thing: bring in lots of people, manipulate election, and claim more control. they are all the same. Look what happened in Europe, UK, Australia, NewZealand, and UsA. Canadian people, wake up, Vote Conservatives, Save Canada.

CANADA has fallen we will never recover from this goverment

More BS from a supposedly neutral balanced media outlet. At least when the CBC have a panel they have one from each party. Here are the facts. The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab is the current Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. She was appointed to the role in May 2025 by Prime Minister Mark Carney following the April 2025 federal election. Her current activity is defined by a shift toward more restrictive and "talent-focused" policies. Here is the technical breakdown of her recent initiatives: 1. 2026 Express Entry Overhaul On February 18, 2026, Diab announced significant adjustments to the Express Entry system. The primary objective is to transition from broad intake to "sustainable levels" while addressing specific labor gaps. * New Categories: Streams were added for researchers, senior managers, transport occupations (pilots/mechanics), and foreign military personnel recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces. * Medical Priority: A specific category was introduced for foreign medical doctors already possessing Canadian work experience. * Tightened Requirements: She doubled the category-specific work experience requirement from 6 months to 12 months. This move is designed to narrow the candidate pool and prioritize those with deeper integration into the Canadian labor market. 2. Legislative Reform (Bill C-12) Diab is currently championing a major immigration and border security bill (C-12), which is moving through its third reading in the Senate as of February 26, 2026. * Executive Power: The bill grants the Governor in Council (acting on cabinet advice) broad authority to vary, cancel, or suspend immigration documents and applications in the "public interest." * Asylum Restrictions: Diab has been vocal about curbing what she terms "fraudulent" claims. The legislation proposes making anyone who has been in Canada for over a year ineligible to claim asylum, and it restricts claims from those entering via land borders outside official ports of entry. 3. Shift in Strategy The Minister’s rhetoric marks a pivot from previous Liberal administrations. Her current messaging focuses on "taking back control" of immigration levels. While she continues to promote the recruitment of "the best and brightest," she has explicitly stated the government's goal is to reduce the total annual number of both permanent and temporary residents. Summary Table | Focus Area | Recent Action | |---|---| | Express Entry | Increased experience threshold to 12 months; added military/researcher streams. | | Asylum Policy | Supporting Bill C-12 to restrict claims made after 1 year of residency. | | Staffing | Recently appointed Isaac MacDonald (former P.E.I. Liberal executive) as Director of Parliamentary Affairs.

what other country gives health care for free beside canada for visiters

hire bounty hunters and they will solve the problem quickly . they would track down those that no longer to be in canada .

The Charter is NOT for non-citizens it IS for CITIZENS of Canada. If you go to the States for a visit do you suddenly have all the rights of their Constitution? NO, no you do not. Nor do you in ANY other country. Kick them all out.

the corrupt liberals have been calling Canadians names such as racist, with all kinds of phobias for 15 years, stand up Canada against this silly name calling and ignore it

Liberals f ucked Canada

That’s exactly why Carney picked her.. to cause further failure and create problems that he can blame on someone else. .. all the while over populate Canada with rejected immigrants causing further failure to legal, medical, housing , food and employment problems.. he fixes it by giving more of our billions to the Ukraine.. meanwhile 6 million people dont have doctors and tens of thousands of Canadians are dying waiting for surgery.. and 2 million people a month go to food banks.

boy what barrel did creepy carney scrape her from - obvious creepy has no plans to stop mass immigration to destroy Canada

My sister was going to immigrate to Australia from South Africa with her family. They expected her to be able to take care of them for 5yrs, have a certain amount of money to do so. That wasn't a problem as she owned a medical supply company and was a registered nurse,trained in Canada, worked in Florida for 5yrs. The only metric she didn't meet was age, she was over 45, rejected 😢

It's not race that makes countries great or bad. Since there is just one human race. Its the culture that makes places great. Culture or shared ideas among the populace. Specially ideas of being open minded, living and letting live, freedom, being tolerant etc. These are the best ideas or culture that if held long enough by the majority of the people will turn that place into a great civilization indeed. Every great civilization of history was built through this culture in history. persian empire, macedonian empire, roman empire, british empire and now the united states etc... were/are all very diverse and very tolerant of indians and their ideas... cultural exchange of ideas through indians and receiving diverse viewpoints which helped them become great. However great empires, great places and civilizations never last. They fall down. They fall down once the culture changes. which is natural since culture is not static but dynamic, since it exists only in the minds of people, it can change in the same generation, or in the next - all it takes is replacing existing ideas with other ideas in the minds of people large enough. This is what we are seeing happening in canada and India... a shift of culture. The same culture of responsible for turning India into a terrible country is being adopted by canadians. Meanwhile for the past few decades.. india on the other hand has been adopting the better culture and growing slowly and steadily with many mistakes and hurdles along the way towards a brighter future... slowly because its huge... steadily because it knows where to go.... mistakes and hurdles because its an open democracy... If this cultural shift keeps continuing this way... There will come a time where canada would look more like afghanistan and India will look like the us or scandinavia... However i hope thats not the case. and its just a phase that does not lead to some significant revolution in terms of peoples thinking.

The immigrants vote liberal. Tha Canada I grew up in no longer exists. The Liberals will not stop the destruction.

Carney and immigration will ruin Canada.

It’s not Canada’s immigration minster that’s broken, it’s the party she belongs to that is broken! Very simple really.

You're all spot on! How is it even possible coming from US and declaring asylum in Canada? And then we have fake refugees, students overstaying visa and applying for refugee status and playing our system, rejected applicants enjoying our health care system etc. What a mess and insult to genuine applicants who lined up and went legally through the immigration system.

Mass deportation fixes everything wrong in Canada 🇨🇦

Dont know about canada but we Indians live rent-free in canadians heads. I've never been to canada, nor even thought about that country much in my life up until i started meeting many canadians on the internet who lose it on me for no reason at all. The most hateful people i have met online have been canadians. I have talked to american gr0ypers online on platforms like discord and omegle etc... and they've been more respectful, polite and friendly than so called "liberal" canadians. Some of them i even befriended. This is sad. What a sorry state it would be to live in one of these canadians mind. Filled with hate against one particular peoples. All of this hate that i have received will only make me definitely avoid to visit canada at all costs!

Canada looses its sovereignty and safety for own people, he looked more Asia now instead of good country

Government of Canada is using housing to harass it's own citizens. The blue bloods are upset feudalism 1.0 ended. Now they're doing everything to uphold feudalism 2.0. The immigrants, deficit regressive inflation, excessive housing financialization etc.

The immigration minister has a clear conflict of interest....given that her family is one of the east coast's largest landlords.....AND THAT'S WHY SHE SWUNG THE DOORS OPEN TO MASS IMMIGRATION, THE TFW PROGRAM AND TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS! She, like many others in our corrupt liberal gov't.....ARE FILLING THEIR OWN POCKETS while Canada's identity and culture are destroyed. SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED FOR SELFISH SELF-INTEREST, CORRUPTION AND TREASON!

2026-2-26-why do you not ask the Carney government directly about these two ministers who need to be replaced - officially - due to their absolute and incomprehensible lacking in leadership abilities and skills - why he keeps them in their respective portfolio? But he absolutely needs to be also removed He is doing so much harm to Canada as this 70 yr old has never seen in her entire adult life He has done nothing to repair the relationship with USA Which he has to repair No instead he is working on China Go figure why Because they are a communist regime Whereas the USA is a democracy and solvant democracy such as our own and as far back Canada use to have a rather strong relationship with them But now its not Why? These are the kind of questions that should be asked Why Because CTV and CBC Are our CNN NBC Equivalent of fake news And totally Libéral bias

Stupid voters electing stupid politicians,...........ensuring that Canada does not even know how to be a country !!

A clueless immigration minister fits in well with a clueless electorate . The illegal alien extortionists that have been caught in murder and assault with ilegal handguns have claimed asylum and have about six years of taxpayer funded lawyers to help them remain in Canada. Tim Hortons laid off Canadian full time workers and imported temporary part time workers and the tacpayer pays half their wages. A company worty of a nation wide boycott.

Canadians hate the mass immigration of foreigners and I know this because I am Canadian I lived in Canada for 20 years they do not like it it’s disgusting honestly they literally don’t wanna see Emily and all roof up in one area turn it into a little whatever close the boarders

Wait what? 700 Iranian "agents" you mean Iranian Terrorists are being allowed to infest across canada? So essentially, Iranian Terrorist Cells are on canadian soil?

The Liberals are brilliant thieves. They’ve managed to pull off over a decade of self-funded corruption. They use taxpayer money to buy media, influence institutions, and protect themselves from accountability. Canadians are literally paying for their own political manipulation. Liberals = the most corrupt government in Canadian history (33 listed below and counting): Green Slush Fund (SDTC) – $1B+ in questionable clean-tech grants SNC-Lavalin Affair – Political interference in criminal prosecution ArriveCAN App – ~$60M for a basic travel app WE Charity Scandal – ~$912M contract to connected insiders Phoenix Pay System – $3.5B+ and still failing McKinsey Consulting Contracts – $500M+ outsourced policy work Foreign Interference Scandal – Intelligence warnings ignored Organized Crime & B.C. Money Laundering – Triad-linked casino and real estate laundering Fentanyl & Opioid Crisis – Border failures and weak enforcement Aga Khan Vacation Ethics Breach – Illegal luxury trip Randy Boissonnault Scandal – Business ties and lobbying questions Investing in Canada Plan – ~$92B in poorly tracked infrastructure spending PMO / Telford Staff Scandals – Obstruction and document withholding Bill Morneau Controversies – WE ties, pension conflicts Paul Chiang Controversy – Foreign interference allegations Unlawful Emergencies Act Use (Trucker Convoy) – Bank accounts frozen, later ruled illegal Firearms Buyback Fiasco – Projected $2B–$6B and counting Mark Carney / Brookfield Conflicts – Offshore tax structures, revolving-door politics Chrystia Freeland Ukraine Funding Controversy – Oversight concerns Baylis Medical Ventilator Contract – ~$237M contract awarded to a firm owned by a former Liberal MP for COVID-19 equipment. Mary Ng Ethics Breach – Multiple government contracts directed to a close personal friend and media personality. Dominic LeBlanc Ethics Breach – Awarding a lucrative Arctic surf clam license to a company linked to his wife’s family. NSICOP "Traitor" MP Allegations – National intelligence reports of sitting MPs "wittingly" collaborating with foreign hostile states. Admiral Mark Norman Prosecution – A failed $50M legal battle involving alleged political interference in a naval procurement contract. Han Dong Controversy – Resignation from caucus following allegations of CCP involvement in his nomination and conduct. Governor General Expense Scandals – ~$1.3M in luxury travel, high-end catering, and secretive villa renovations under Payette and Simon. PBO Carbon Tax Gag Order – Government blocking the Budget Officer from releasing internal data showing the tax’s true economic hit. GC Strategies $250M Windfall – Total federal contracts awarded to the two-person ArriveCAN firm since 2015 across multiple departments. Public Health Agency (PHAC) Missing Data – Intentional destruction of emails and documents related to the Winnipeg Lab security breach. Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) RCMP Probe – Formal criminal investigation into 186 cases of alleged conflicts and $390M in funding. "The Other Randy" Business Scandal – Investigation into text messages suggesting a Cabinet Minister remained active in private business. COVID-19 Quarantine Hotel Fiasco – Billions spent on mandatory hotel stays marked by reports of safety failures and lack of oversight. Parliamentary Witness Coaching Scandal – $263,000 in taxpayer funds spent to "coach" government employees and witnesses on how to spin answers at committee. Etc Etc The Liberal performance review: rushed programs, no transparency, friends get paid, costs explode, and no one is held accountable. Over a decade, this government has burned through $100B+ in waste, failed programs, insider contracts, and ethics breaches—with zero consequences—all on the backs of taxpayers while they get rich.

You know you’re in Canada when the opposition party is held to a higher standard of conduct than the actual government…

Canada has been broken since 1982 with the first Truedue. When the charter was created, because we are under the King(Monarch at that time), something had to be given up, so we sold our souls to the devil we knew, and traded our future generations' futures.

well, Canadians will wait eighteen hours in a waiting room with pleasure and not raise the issue because they are afraid of being called mean names. Is that what you are saying? Therefore, if that were the case the health, and safety of Canadians is in question because no one wants to see reality. Canada cannot save the world when the boat is sinking at home. Sad state of affairs and no one wants to address the dangers at home.

Lena Diab knows exactly what she's talking about, especially when she says "I prefer my tabule". And if she's not, maybe she should ask her parents why they came to Canada from Lebanon in tge first place. Canadians, please, don't be so naive.

Canada Border Services..As of late 2025 and early 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is actively managing a "wanted" inventory of approximately 30,000 to 32,000 individuals with active deportation warrants.

She’s was told to let whoever into Canada as long as they vote liberal

Far as I am concerned I don't get free eye glasses or dental or hearing aids. I am a Senior and as far as I am concerned illegal and asylum immigrants should not receive free health care in Canada call me racist I don't care.

Canada's doomed. The warning signs are all around.

That's funny that Carney said one of the reasons why we're having issues in Canada is because of immigration and yet he as of the getting 100 million people in Canada

Not just the Immigration Minister is clueless and missing. It is ALL the liberal caucus and CBC that is clueless and missing. They are opening doing harm to Canada and Canadian citizens.

I signed the Alberta independence petition, I am sick and tired of my province subsidizing Eastern Canada $25 billion per year through the unfair equalization payments. They keep voting in communist liberals who try to destroy my province's economy! enough is enough

As a indian not the whole indian only mfs panjabi go to Canada in india punjab is famous for this kind of stereotypes. lot of people only choose to go in Canada If you ask a punjabi where are you from he doesn't said india they say punjab who the fuck knows punjab .hate that lassies 😅

Canada & the US are the best places to be a Sikh or a Hindu or any Indian. My neighborhood proves it

THERE NOBODY IN CANADA THEY TRAVEL GOT KILLED THANK CANADIAN GOVERMENT TALKING ABOUT SEEK REFUGIE NONSENSE

Liberal party ruined Canada Trudeau is piece of shit

The immigration policy in Canada is a joke. Justin has ruined it. I bet 80% of immigrants there have arrived on false pretence, be it studying or tourism or marriage. Its all big business in India. I'll do the studying you pay the fees, let's get married on paper to gain entry.... Its an open secret. Canada is officially fooked.... 😂

Indians in canada are khalistani maybe

Why are politicians so obsessed with replacing their own population? Every European country has this problem with Muslims, Australia and Canada with Indians. They are literally wiping us out.

Canada is now called -PUNJADA 😂😂😂😂

CANADA VERY BUTIFUL SAAR

ASSIMILATION IS THE END GOAL OF IMMIGRATION FFS?!?! You wanna be Canadian and live in Canada? Than ACT CANADIAN! WE ARE NOT A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!! Stop infecting our Country! You act like a disease that we can’t cure because you refuse to assimilate! FUCK!!
