These programs include after school clubs, breakfast clubs, art and dance classes, as well as summer and March break camps.

“When you come to your first program session, you will be asked to show proof of double vaccination for your child aged 5 to 17 and a corresponding piece of government-issued ID showing the name of the child being registered,” reads the website of the Old Ottawa South Community Association.

Liberal immigration minister Sean Fraser has introduced the government’s 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan, announcing that Canada will increase immigration to 1.14% of the Canadian population by 2024, or approximately 451,000 people.

In comparison, Canada accepted more than 405,000 new permanent residents in 2021, the most in a single year in Canadian history.

The ministry said that it would develop a long-term focus on economic growth, with about 60% of admissions in the economic class.

“We are focused on economic recovery, and immigration is the key to getting there,” said Fraser in a press release on Monday. “Setting bold new immigration targets, as outlined in the 2022-2024 Levels Plan, will further help bring the immeasurable contribution of immigrants to our communities and across all sectors of the economy.” Continue…

Elections Canada is hiring more investigators

Have they gotten wind of more anti-Trudeau books being written?

A new request posted to the federal government's website for procurements, proposals and tenders indicated the agency tasked with election integrity is looking for compliance investigators.

During the 2019 election, Rebel News Commander Ezra Levant published a book called “The Libranos: What the media won’t tell you about Justin Trudeau’s corruption.”

Elections Canada alleged that Rebel News and Ezra had broken election laws by producing signs promoting a book critical of a political party during the campaign.

Elections Canada investigators subjected Ezra to an interrogation that he secretly recorded and published, embarrassing the agency.

The posting by Elections Canada interestingly notes the cost of the current contracts for similar work on behalf of Elections Canada:

The work is currently being performed by Nicholas Alexander under contract value $862,646.13.

The work is currently being performed by John Dickson Professional Corporation under contract value $888,515.50.

The work is currently being performed by Altis HR under contract value $1,111,488.82.

The work is currently being performed by Makwa Resourcing under contract value $1,126,513.75.

While Elections Canada was busy investigating authors who hurt Trudeau's feelings, the agency admits 3,500 cases of people who voted in 2019's federal election where there was conflicting evidence about their citizenship.
