Elections Canada to recommend tighter nomination rules after foreign influence probe
Elections Canada is set to recommend tighter rules for political parties’ nominations after a federal inquiry referred to the contests as a “gateway” for foreign interference.
Documents published by the Foreign Interference Commission Tuesday afternoon suggest Elections Canada expects to publish the recommendations, including greater transparency measures and stronger enforcement of party rules, by the end of September.
Nominations, where candidates vie for the chance to run under a party’s banner, typically receive less public and media scrutiny than elections or byelections. A significant number of nomination contests for the upcoming general election are already in the books.

🇨🇦Canada's housing affordability crisis may persist for years despite rate cuts
Buying a house may remain out of reach for many Canadians for the foreseeable future, with mortgage costs unlikely to fall enough to offset lofty home prices and weak spending power, economists and real estate agents say.
Even with expectations that Bank of Canada will keep cutting rates in the coming months, the issue of home affordability - which has strangled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's poll numbers - is unlikely to fade before the next election.
Canadian house prices on average have increased by more than 30% since April 2020 while interest rates soared by 4.75 basis points until they started coming down in June.
Calculations based on average house prices from the Canadian Real Estate Association show that monthly interest payments on a five-year fixed rate mortgage are still 40% higher than in January 2020, even after a drop in mortgage costs from last year's highs.

A 9-year push to increase P.E.I.'s population has radically changed the Island
More than 20,000 people have arrived from other countries, roughly 10,000 are foreign nationals living on P.E.I. with temporary permits and a greater number have arrived from other parts of Canada than the almost 30,000 who left for other provinces.
This motion of people has caused crises in housing, health care and general pressure on provincial infrastructure of all kinds.
The mass migration to and from P.E.I. dates back to 2015, when Wade MacLauchlan became leader of the Liberal Party and premier at the same time.

Conservatives' second attempt to topple Liberal government fails
The Liberal government has survived a second non-confidence vote in as many weeks, once again putting at bay the possibility that Canada would be plunged into an immediate election campaign.
Members of Parliament voted on a Conservative motion that called for MPs to declare they have lost faith in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his nine-year-old government.
The Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois voted against the motion, as they did with a similar motion last week.

📊Majority of Canadians don't see themselves as 'settlers,' poll finds
The pollsters found that 47 per cent of Canadians disagree with the term “settler” as a denoscriptor. Thirty per cent didn’t know about the term, leading the researchers to note that it’s “reasonably safe to conclude that the 30 per cent … simply don’t understand the notion of settler colonialism.”
41 per cent of Canadians ages 18-34 were negative about being labelled colonists. That compares with 47 per cent of 35-54 year-olds and 53 per cent of respondents who were 55 years and older.
The respondents who identified with the settler label said there were from the left side of the political spectrum. That includes 47.2 per cent who identify themselves as “left” and 32 per cent of those who said they are “left of centre.” That compares with just 17.1 per cent of people who identified as “right.”

Canadian Tire store in Toronto under investigation for alleged mistreatment of temporary foreign workers
The owner of a Canadian Tire store in Toronto is being investigated by the provincial and federal governments for allegedly mistreating and financially exploiting employees hired through Ottawa’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program. At least 13 of those employees resigned or were fired by the store late last year.
They allege their wages were arbitrarily reduced by the owner and that they were forced to do jobs for which they were not hired. They also claim the owner threatened to fire them on multiple occasions when they brought up their concerns about the working conditions.
Federal government rules dictate that employers cannot arbitrarily decrease the wages of temporary foreign workers or materially change their job duties. If they do, they will have to apply for a new labour market impact assessment (LMIA), a document needed to hire foreign workers.

🏠 Affordable rent out of reach for Canadian minimum wage earners nearly everywhere, report finds
Finding an affordable apartment to rent in most of Canada’s larger cities is nearly impossible for people earning minimum wage, a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) says.
Only 22 neighbourhoods out of nearly 800 in larger Canadian cities have average rents for two-bedroom apartments that would be affordable for someone earning minimum wage, the report says. The situation has grown worse since the CCPA’s first study of the issue in 2019.

Quebec premier says Ottawa should forcibly relocate half of asylum seekers
Premier François Legault has made immigration a major focus of his visit to Paris, demanding that the federal government force asylum seekers in Quebec to move elsewhere, including people who have already settled in the province.
Half of the would-be refugees currently in Quebec should be transferred to other provinces, he told reporters on Wednesday at the offices of the Quebec delegation in Paris.
Legault’s latest remarks follow similar comments on Tuesday, when he said his government has asked Ottawa to create waiting zones for asylum seekers entering the country, similar to a system that has existed for decades in France.

Twenty-two years after the federal government first launched its bid to deport Ottawa’s Mohamed Harkat to his native Algeria as a terrorist, a court will once again convene to consider the case.
A Federal Court hearing in December will review the “minister’s opinion,” written by an unnamed senior official at Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada, that concluded Harkat posed a serious threat to Canada as a member of the al-Qaida network and should be deported despite holding refugee status in this country.
The judicial review will decide if that opinion, issued in October 2018, was legally fair and reasonable.
