      The conservatives should’ve gone harder on immigration shit like this awhile ago. It’s good to see but too little too late.

      Under the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, Canada is required to:

      • Let people make a refugee claim
      • Assess it fairly
      • Not send someone back to persecution (non-refoulement)
      • Provide basic non-discriminatory access to courts, education, and public relief (once recognized)

      We provide well beyond that requirement.

      • Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) healthcare coverage while claims are pending
      • Work permits during the wait
      • Access to provincial social assistance (varies by province)
      • Emergency housing support in many cases
      • A pathway to permanent residency for accepted refugees

      If we were to shift to the agreed minimum standard, take away the extras – our program would cost taxpayers less.

      Its funny a canadian can pay taxes their whole life but a person comes on a plane to canada claim refugee status and get priority access to Healthcare, free dentalcaree, free vision care, free drugs and free mental care 

      Will say the middle class tax payer is treated like a complete fool by the canadian govt

      Something isn’t adding up here. In Ontario, OHIP costs are around 5200 per person. In 2020, that program was doing $10k per person. Seems really high, but refugees are generally not in the best health, so sure they require more care.

      But then 4 years later the cost is over $12k per person? Even if the new refugees were in worse health (which I doubt), wouldn’t the refugees who have been here longer require less care? I mean, after 4 years of living in a safer environment and access to health care have been sorted out mostly after 4 years? The number should be less per person, not more.

      This an excellent example of the Conservatives continuing to miss the mark when it comes to general „immigration“ issues.

      I’m sure there’s a case for ensuring that the treatment of asylum seekers is on par, neither above nor below what Canadians receive. However, focusing on it sounds cruel or has the potential to sound cruel. I think we can see the spin about people fleeing conflict and other issues to be here. These are asylum seekers.

      On the other hand, near the bottom it talks about the Conservatives (one line addition to the motion) wanting to immediately expel foreign nationals convicted of serious crime. There’s the issue to champion and ride hard. It’s an easy win that would bring on many centre-based Liberals, heck, probably some NDP voters. It’s easy to visualize. Speaks to Canadians frustration with immigration. Highlights unfairness of the system and much more. I’m a bit left when it comes to social issues but I’d support a full court press on this one.

      Conservatives could look like heroes – full support for new Canadians who follow the rules and law and for the rest, goodbye. True CPC values on display.

      Yet, we get the Conservatives missing the mark once again, focusing on an issue that probably has some legitimacy but also comes across as cruel.

      Shouldn’t we want improved healthcare for Canadians. Instead of cutting healthcare for refugees.
