Canada is not a safe haven for asylum seekers, Trudeau warns

Prime minister takes stronger line in attempt to discourage would be migrants from coming to Canada and to hold off anti-immigrant sentiment at home.

 

“You will not be at an advantage if you choose to enter Canada irregularly. You must follow the rules and there are many,” Trudeau said.

 

The prime minister’s Twitter posting, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump took office, was in response to a proposed travel ban in the United States on people from predominately Muslim countries.

“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength,” the tweet reads.

But the tweet has since received a more liberal interpretation among asylum seekers and others who feel suddenly fearful living in Trump’s United States.

More than 7,000 people have crossed from the U.S. into Canada at a breach in the border in Quebec this year, though a wave that began in July appears to have slowed in recent days, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said this week.

Speaking in Ottawa Wednesday, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said Trudeau’s approach has also filled those people with “false hope” that if they can somehow get to Canada, they will be accepted with open arms.

“Our system now is in shambles, and I think a lot of this has to do with the messaging — the inconsistent messaging — that has been coming out of Justin Trudeau's personal communication shop,” she said.

Funny how some Americans flee to Canada when things don't go their way.

Another politician who pays lip service to open borders but when it's time to put his money where his mouth is he folds. Typical socialist.

I can tell you right now, what little gains Liberals (as a party) had in the federal election under Trudeau has been mostly wiped out. 

 

They better hope they get strong support from BC and Ontario, and pull Quebecers away from provincial parties. While the odds of Liberals losing a majority are low, odds are very high they lose at minimum a handful of seats, at most potentially are forced into a coalition. The regret over giving leftist politics a mandate is high right now.

That's racist and he is a racist for not allowing those poor destitute Haitians into the country.

Take a page from Obama and lefties is my guess, let people in regardless of laws and declare anyone opposed to be racist white supremacists.
