Canada's newest federal immigration minister is now pulling the welcome mat out from under would-be Canadian asylum seekers and posting global warnings claiming asylum in Canada is "not easy." This after his boss Justin Trudeau, during the first Donald Trump presidency of the U.S., posted to X, "To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength." This was as Trump was closing the U.S. border to entrants from six predominantly Muslim countries. -- As well, the story we broke some weeks ago that migrants who break the law and enter Canada at uncertified land border crossings with the U.S. and manage to evade detection by Canadian authorities for 14 days are then eligible to appeal for inclusion into the refugee queue, with hearing dates pushed back four years while they benefit from Canada's social programs and healthcare.
