The Crime Severity Index shows a similar trend. 2024 was lower than 2022 or 2023, lower than pre-pandemic, and significantly lower than any point from the late '60s to 2010.

So overall it's higher than it was in the few years post-financial crisis, but that was a likely demographic-related anomaly that was seen in other countries too. The late 2000s and early 2010s represented the lowest population share for the demographic most likely to commit crimes (males in their late teens and 20s). As they became a smaller and smaller share, overall rates dropped. But now that that cohort's population share has rebounded a bit, crime is slightly elevated compared to the low point, but still very low historically.

Simpletons and morons are being tricked by Pierre Pomeranian. Yap yap yap.

Canada’s immigration laws are so self-sabotaging that it takes years to deport actual registered child sex offenders who should have never been let into the country in the first place. If we’re struggling to put even these guys on a plane home, we’re in serious trouble.

We know this because a Pakistani national Gullfam Hussain, who omitted his 2017 criminal conviction and three-year jail stint in the U.K. for “Adult sexual activity with a female child family member 13 to 17 — offender over 18 — penetration,” has been fighting his deportation for two years now. Most recently, he tried to have the Federal Court cancel his deportation to Pakistan for safety reasons, which failed.

He was let into Canada on a visitor visa in 2023 because he didn’t disclose his sexual assault convictions relating to his niece, whom he reunited with and impregnated after getting out of jail. A 2024 Federal Court decision rejecting an earlier attempt to remain stated that the couple and their child of incest were all living in Canada.

Hopefully we tighten the immigration rules to keep this from happening. Also, it should be a simple, easy process to deport people from Canada who, obviously, should be deported.

Stop posting that American garbage here. You may as well go get your shallow line of thinking from the rabid dogs at Fox News.

If you want to advocate for a stronger Canada, read Canadian content and get Canadian facts.

The National Post is American propaganda.

What do you think about allowing a registered child sex offender into Canada?

I don’t necessarily disagree with your position on that particular news outlet, but is the information wrong?

All the major banks have left Carney's Net Zero Alliance banking group, and the organization is shutting down.

Carney announces long-awaited automatic tax filing, makes school food program permanent

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said the automatic benefits filing system will begin enrolling about a million people with "simple tax situations" starting in 2027, rising to 2.5 million in 2028 before hitting up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians by 2029

In the spring of 2024, the Liberal government announced it would provide $1 billion over five years to fund a national school food program that would deliver meals to 400,000 more children a year.

Carney said Friday that since the program launched, it has provided meals to 400,000 children annually, saving parents with two children about $800 a year.

“This is Canada. No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from,” he said. “All our children should be focused on learning.”

The prime minister said his government will “move forward with the funding and legislation” to make the national school food program permanent.

Waiting to hear from PP why this is bad.

Kids are getting massacred in schools! People are going massacred in the streets! Carbon Tax Carney is going to put in an even bigger carbon tax in the next 30 years.

Eating is a privilege, why should my tax dollars be used for this? /s

Why should MY taxes go towards feeding you're poor ass kid? Why did you procreate if you didn't make enough money to not leech off of non-poors? ####in' communist!

I think that's probably the gist of the sentiment..

This, but also with more racism and xenophobia directed towards immigrant children and their families.

Oh yes, feeding illegal immigrants. #### them too.

Obesity rates are too high! Less feedings across the board!

I don't love a government run food program. I think it's likely to end up being very expensive per meal delivered, not that healthy, and not that tasty. I'd much prefer an increase to the Canada Child Benefit designed to help with this issue. It creates no extra bureaucracy (people are already getting the money, give them more if needed) and I think the vast majority of people genuinely want their kids to have sufficient food, so would do that if they could.

PP would deport his wife and kids if it guaranteed him being PM.

Honestly? I do not like it. I would rather Canada Immigration be focused on attracting scientists that are fleeing the US and building programs around enabling them to develop new industries in a province like Alberta where we are going to have significant issues if we do not diversify off of O&G right away.

However, PP is not really a source of information. He is just a rage machine that is constantly set to 100% so that he can try and harvest sound bites. He is barely better than getting your facts from the National Post.

Is the information right? Is anyone else reporting this story? The starting point is considering that this is not news, it is an opinion piece. How truthful do they have to be with opinion pieces on the National Post? Unlike when journalists print news stories, there are no links to sources information or actual headlines. They just say whatever they want to say and you just have to trust that this opinion piece is accurate and believe it because you want to.

Does the National Post have to do anything if someone says something wrong/inaccurate in an opinion piece?

Side Note: This is why I would rather get my information from an actual journalist like Rachel Gilmore because she will provide sources and backup so that you can look up the facts if you have questions about her story. She is also held to a higher standard than the National Post because she is (1) independent, (2) female, and (3) not a right wing propaganda machine.

Anyway, what is a visitor visa? It is a visa that allows someone to stay in Canada for up to 6 months. How much money are we investing into screening people for a 6 month visa? What tools are we using to investigate each applicant? What is the margin of error?

This guy was apparently working hard to hide his past. He was convicted in the UK but was applying to come to Canada from Spain.

I am not sure what the actual point is that DrF is trying to make or what objective he is advocating for.

• Does he want to spend more money in the public sector to review vias applicants more thoroughly? Should we double the amount of money we spent on visa reviews?
• What is an acceptable success rate for visa reviews? Is 1 criminal out of a million visa applicants a reasonable margin of error?
• Or is the point that we need to collaborate with the UK and EU more to ensure that we have better information sharing when it comes to convicted criminals?

It sounds like this guy has failed to win a court case and will actually be deported... so the complaint is just that we took the time to go through the process instead of getting all American on him and putting him onto a plane to a south american supermax prison the moment we found him?

In the end, I am not sure this "story" was worth the time I just took to type out this post.
