BREAKING
The Parliamentary Budget Officer has revealed that nearly 74,000 REJECTED asylum claimants are entitled to deluxe health benefits through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).
Deluxe supplemental health benefits like vision care, home care, and physiotherapy now account for more than half of all IFHP costs.
These are benefits that Canadians who have paid into the system their entire lives can’t access.
Counselling costs have grown from less than 1% of supplementary spending in 2016 to 11% in 2025.
Last year alone, taxpayers paid $38.79 million for counselling and $12.41 million for home visits for asylum seekers under the program.
This damning information comes at a time when six million Canadians can’t access the basic service of a family doctor.
The PBO also revealed the average length of IFHP coverage for asylum claimants is now a staggering four years.
It is undeniable that as the backlog grows, rejected asylum claimants continue adding pressure to a health care system where Canadians are already facing long wait times for care.
The Liberals must explain to Canadians why asylum seekers whose refugee claims were rejected, face enforceable removal orders, and in some cases fail to appear for removal, continue to receive deluxe, taxpayer-funded health benefits while they avoid leaving Canada.
Bill C-22 empowers the government to order VPN providers in Canada to retain metadata for up to a year.
The EU's highest court has struck down this type of mass data retention legislation twice already, suggesting it won't stand up to scrutiny:

We're going to reiterate this one more time: there is no universe in which Proton VPN compromises its no-logs policy.
@ninjasplicer@mikepat711 Yeah this was a huge issue with old FSD versions for me, it would signal and not change ,super frustrating. It behaves very consistently in my 2024 m3 on 14.3.2.
After a car accident left her paralyzed from the neck down, Audrey didn’t think she would be able to draw or paint again.
20 years later, she became the first female participant in our clinical trials. Now, she uses her brain-computer interface to create art with her mind.
@homegymcoop What, are you trying to rip the hammys out of your legs?! If I tried that, they would literally disconnect from my bones and shrivel up. lol
C-22's architecture is most similar to laws in place in China, Russia, India and Vietnam.
Among allied democracies, the closest analog is Australia's TOLA Act (2018), which Australia is now amending due to the economic harm it caused.
