1/ Thread. In this video, a woman asks Trudeau when Quebec is going to get the $146M needed to cover costs related to social supports for illegal border crossers. He calls her intolerant. Keep in mind those are the exact questions we have been asking him. montreal.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1…
2/ The global migrant crisis affects the entire world. But not everyone can be resettled to Canada. Aid, military intervention, trade, social reforms are other policy interventions. This is why when we do resettle people, we should be asking these questions:
3/ How many people can Canada take in per year, while ensuring that they successfully integrate into the Canadian social and economic fabric? How do we do that? How much will such interventions cost? How do we budget for that, taking into consideration taxation rates and...
4/...our obligation to provide support for Canadians who are already here? Who are we prioritizing for entry into the country? Are people who have already reached the United States truly the world’s most vulnerable? Are the provinces capable of taking in this many people?
5/ I ask these questions every day. I get no answers from Trudeau, and indeed he accuses Comervatives of intolerance on a daily basis. I’d argue that by casting out labels like this, and failing to answer the questions I just laid out, it is he who is putting the sustainability..
6/ of Canadian pluralism at risk. In this video, his response to this woman is the same response he gives to me. That is irresponsible.
