Mulcair: A Montreal 'college' received permission to bring in 12,000 foreign students

Waking you up with a nudge and a smile. The Andrew Carter Morning Show, CJAD 800. Tom Mulcares brought to you by Guaranteed Industries for high efficiency Lennox furnaces and heat pumps called Guaranteed Industries at 514-342-3400 Guaranteed Industries since 1957. Immigration. Let's talk about it.

In the last two years, our populations grow really fast, like baby boom fast. Increasingly, bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests. So we're doing something major. We're reducing the numbers of immigrants that will come to Canada for the next three years. Today, I'm going to let you in on what happened, where we made some mistakes, and why we're taking this big turn.

Okay, I'm just listening to this, but apparently he's sitting in a big comfy chair and he walks into the room and he's playing the xylophone at the same time for some reason. I have no idea. So that was a seven minute video that the Prime Minister posted yesterday on immigration. And this brings into focus another story this morning about bringing in 12,000 foreign students.

Um, to the very well known. Could they superior them all? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds a little bit fishy, doesn't it? Uh, it sounds exactly the category that Trudeau describes as fake colleges, but I wonder who's been the government for the past nine years and allowed these fake colleges to proliferate. Oh, that would be the liberals. So now he's sitting down in seven minutes and trying to say, forget about the last nine years.

I find they got the memo. We've got too many people coming in. And guess what? A lot of this is fake immigration. The one you just referred to is mind-boggling now that the numbers shaped down with regard to how many thousands have actually

attended this college called college superior memorial and it's unbelievable. The same two people, a husband and wife team, they seem to own several other colleges in Quebec and 12,000 certificates accepting them into Quebec have been issued and they have thousands of people there. There hasn't been room apparently for all 12,000 of them, but be that as it may. That's a detail. What's really amazing here is this is the CAC government that is swearing up and down that they've been on this for some time.

It's all the federal government's fault, don't you know? And they're the ones issuing these certificates, Andrew. It's pure hypocrisy by the go in his government. Who's behind this? Ooh, Joff Nauswah, the mayor's our favorite. He's now got the immigration file. And he said he's sputtering, oh, well, that's why we want to change the laws. Yeah, but this is not a question of having to change the laws. This is a question of having your eyes open. And you have issued 12,000 certificates of acceptance to what

to superior what in Montreal, by the way, that's more acceptance than there is to both McGill and the University of Montreal. Is that Justin Trudeau's xylophone? No, no, that's true. That's why we got one for you. That's played at the Bumblebee on the xylophone. I just thought, you know, I'm thinking back to the 2015 election and how much clearer your message would have been if you had had a xylophone in the

There you go. You know, you would have got that, you know, that no deficit type thing going. Exactly. What a, what a quaint idea that was. Okay. This is a co seriously. This is a crazy story from the front page of the, uh, of Globe Mail. I did not realize that Erwin Kotler had been under RCMP surveillance like they were, they were watching him and, and protecting him for the last year since the October 7th attacks. And, um, apparently Iran planned to assassinate him.

Yes. And so for those who don't know, Erwin Kotler, longtime professor at McGill University, he was my tutor in law school and first law school.

And no, it was a very, that was a quaint thing as well. Every first year student had a tutor and I got to know him. He was fresh out of Yale, just an amazing guy. And I'm on the board. I'm a senior fellow at the Raul Wallenberg Center for Human Rights that he's founded. So we've stayed close over the years. We stay in constant contact. And he's just one of the most amazing human beings I've ever known. And yes, the government of Iran, which is very

Upset, of course, after the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel came out strongly and saying that in the past he has stood up and defended people who are victims of the Iranian government. They've decided to assassinate him. Big story in the Gloman mail, as you say, Andrew, Bob Fife, extraordinarily respected journalist, deep, deep sources here again. I've never seen him get anything wrong on a story like this and you're right.

Erwin Kotler's been under 24-7 RCMP protection since the October 7th massacre by an ass against Israeli citizens. So apparently, according to the story, this plan was about 48 hours out when it was stopped by the RCMP. The Conservative Party... And good work. We should take the trouble to stay rival to the RCMP and see society as soon as in there as well. The Conservative Party of Canada is prepared to bring down the federal government of the next opportunity.

Yeah, of course they are. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those no news news stories that came out over the weekend. So the theory goes something like this, that given the fact that Parliament has been essentially shut down for the past four or five weeks because of the shenanigans of the filibuster of the Conservatives, the argument goes something like this. Well, then therefore, Parliament has lost confidence

the government and we should have an election, but that's not how Parliament expresses its will. The will of Parliament is expressed through what we call motions and motions are things that are voted on. It's by a vote of Parliament and the NDP is still supporting Trudeau. So there's a bit of wishful thinking involved here. The Conservatives would love Canadians to pay more attention to their filibuster, which is actually on a very legitimate point, even though most people don't even care or know

that this filibuster is going on that's called inside baseball when you believe your own stuff that everybody's paying attention to the thirty second version. Sustainable development tech funds set up by the liberals turned into a total boondoggle tens of millions of dollars going to be in eligible projects.

tons of conflicts of interest by the people there. Trudeau and his folks shut the thing down, fired the people, and moved the money over to the National Research Council, thinking that would be the end of it. But there was a decision in Parliament to get all of those documents, and Trudeau's refusing to give them.

And so that's the fight that's being had right now by the Conservatives. Again, it's the type of thing that interests nerds who follow politics all day long, but it doesn't have much of an effect in the real world. And it certainly doesn't bring down the government. It does, and the article points that out, give an opening to Trudeau, drumroll to go for pro-egation, to pause Parliament and see whether or not my prediction that Trudeau will be stepping aside and asking the Liberal Party to have a leadership race to replace him comes true.

Uh, Paul Saint Pierre Palama, the leader of the parts you get back while currently leading an opinion poll sit over the weekend. If they were in power, um, he would, uh, probably what, what was he saying? Get rid of saunty Quebec this, this new organization. What does that even mean? Yeah.

Well, he's playing a bit of a political trick because he's pointing to something that is true politically, that Lago is using Madam, behind the new head of Santhi Quebec, as a foil. He's using her to bring in a $1 billion cut to the health budget in Quebec because Quebec is on the border of insolvency, a great article by Aaron Durful over the weekend about that. And that was my article in last Thursday, online and Friday in the Jeanette de Marath.

What they, they're so stuck financially. You and I have given example after example, since the beginning of the season of cuts, just blind cuts across the board cuts by the CAG 569 positions in the La Val cis, the health, you know, the board in La Val 569.

that had already been put online saying these are jobs that have to be filled in particular nurses, they were just eliminated. They just canceled them all overnight. It's not as if they don't still need all of those people. It's just they're not allowed to fill them. And they put it in writing. This is because of the deficit zero. We were told we're not allowed to spend any more money by the CAC. So the province is in much more dire situation than anything that's been put forward so far. There will be what they call a mini budget, an economic update this week.

they're trying to put makeup on this thing to try to hide the fact that basically we're more broke than anybody wants to admit.

And this is where our friend Pazepia Plamadon comes in saying, I'm going to get rid of something that just serves as a way to protect the government. I don't think that once this thing is in place, you can actually get rid of it. It's not a much tougher job. No, it sounds a little unwieldy. Thank you very much. The last thing we need is another reform of a reform of a reform. Well, this is it. Let's get on with life. Yeah.
