One week ago, we wrote a note describing how illegals are obtaining jobs through a federal government loophole enabled by the Biden administration as they await deportation proceedings. This caught the attention of Elon Musk, who said, "Wow, learn something new every day." https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/shadowy-network-how-ngo-supplies-mega-corporations-migrants-exploit-cheap-labor

On Monday, incoming "border czar," Tom Homan, told "Fox & Friends" hosts, "Public safety threats and national security threats will be the priority...they pose the most danger to this country." Homan said, "Where do we find most victims of sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking? At worksites..." Homan's comment about the potential for large-scale worksite raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents next year reminded us of a note we shared with readers in March titled "How Shadowy Network Of NGOs Supplies Mega-Corporations With Migrants To Exploit Cheap Labor." https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/dear-border-czar-nonprofit-boasts-400-companies-employ-migrants

The number two at Canada’s central bank just made it clear she isn’t a policy cheerleader, like the Governor has been in recent months. Bank of Canada (BoC) Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers addressed finance professionals at the Economic Club of Canada last week, explaining the usual mortgage market risks. It got more interesting when she trekked into the rarely discussed issue of cheap credit and extended amortizations and how they actually erode affordability, even though politicians claim otherwise. The Deputy Governor warned policymakers that “there’s no free lunch,” and tinkering with the mortgage market can have the opposite impact while amplifying longer term risks to households, and the greater economy. https://betterdwelling.com/bank-of-canada-warns-policymakers-against-tinkering-with-mortgages/

Canadian politicians are moving at an alarming speed to reverse its immigration policies, this time targeting students. The Government of Canada (GoC) announced it would be discontinuing the Student Direct Stream (SDS) and Nigeria Student Express (NSE) application program on Friday. The program was designed to expedite study permit approvals in targeted markets, and became known for having an approval rate 3x traditional streams. Leaving students with just a few hours notice, it’s going to have a big impact on Canada’s primary source of foreign students—India, where 4 in 5 applications were made through the scheme. https://betterdwelling.com/canada-abruptly-cancels-fast-track-student-visas-used-by-4-in-5-indian-applicants/

Here's another one you can add to the left's ever-growing list of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

Something devastating is almost certainly going to happen BEFORE Jan 6, 2025, especially if the election can't be stolen like the democrats are attempting to do . . . EU Warns "Citizens" To Prepare For A Nuclear Disaster A report published on Wednesday by former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, says that EU citizens should start stockpiling three days’ worth of goods in order to be ready for various potential disasters, including a nuclear conflict. The initiative is part of the EU’s push to make the bloc more resilient in the face of supposedly mounting threats, ranging from natural disasters to a major military conflict, according to a report by RT. The report encourages EU households to stockpile “basic self-sufficiency” goods that would last for at least 72 hours for fear of potential shortages in case of “armed aggression through conventional means” or other hostile activities such as “cyberattacks or the use of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-warns-citizens-prepare-nuclear-disaster
