      This article is more fiction. Our refugee system was broken by Trudeau and Carney hasn’t fixed it. We have been flooded with faux asylum seekers using it as a back door path to citizenship. We have a backlog of asylum seekers that is 10x what it was a decade ago. Mexico, India and other countries are stable democracies – there’s no need for us to take refugees from those and similar countries.

      Beyond that, asylum seekers still need to filtered for Canadian values. I’ll get called a racist for saying it but there large parts of the world that do not believe in fairness and tolerance for other religions, gender and other forms of discrimination.

      >Imagine fleeing persecution, making it to Canada, and being told you can’t apply for refugee status because you visited the country as a child. Or arriving here on a work permit, seeing your country erupt in violence, and not being able to stay in safety here because you didn’t apply within a year of arrival. These are the sneaky ways that Canada is saying: refugees aren’t welcome here.

      Not true. While you won’t be able to apply for refugee status in a way that gives you the works, you’ll still be given a pre-removal risk assessment. If the circumstances in your country have changed (war, regime change), then obviously you have a greater chance of staying in Canada. 

      C-12 is aimed at the **many, many** people who have and are still gaming our refugee system. Making a frivolous asylum claim because Canada is better than your home country, and you just don’t want to go home. Claiming asylum because you committed a crime and you don’t want to leave. Claiming asylum because your family back home sold the farm to pay for your studies in Canada, but you failed to obtain PR so now you can’t go home empty handed. 

      Legitimate refugees will be fine. Only those that are trying to take advantage of our goodwill have reason to fear

      Does everyone remember when Conservatives and the right wing were crying about ‚Sharia Law,‘ and how we can’t let in all these muslim refugees when Harper was PM? 

      What’s old is new again.

      Every social program we have has legitimate upside and real people that they are helping. However you can’t just ignore the reality that these programs are being abused and fight any possible change to remedy the situation.

      I think a big blind side the left has is that we assume that everyone has good intentions and are blind to the fact that in any system there are going to be people who abuse it to gain an advantage. Years of refusing to act on this abuse has made us reach the point where the average voter thinks these programs need to be torn down to the studs.

      We used to be, but our programs and good nature were abused to the point that we reflexively circled the wagons to protect ourselves from exploitation. 

      Who would have thought? You, know, aside from the multitudes of us who predicted this obviously forseeable outcome years ago but who were shouted down.

      We’ve sown, now we reap.
