The Prime Minister was at an event in Quebec where a woman in the crowd asked him when he would pay back the $146M Quebec spent on illegal migrants. Trudeau did not answer but responded by calling her intolerant. He clearly tried to drown out her questions by telling her there is no room for intolerance in Canada which he yelled out repeatedly. She was strong armed by a member of the security personnel who tried to get her name. The altercation caused clearly visible bruises on her upper arm. On the way out of the event the woman asked Trudeau a question and he called her a racist Here is the French video of the whole altercation. No doubt it will soon be available in English.
It's a sad day in Canada when a citizen can't ask the Prime Minister a question without being accused by the PM of being intolerant and racist, and being manhandled by security for no reason.

Justin Trudeau tells the widow of the civilian murdered he could not meet with her and her sons while in Fredericton to offer condolences cause he was too busy meeting with the families of the 2 murdered police officers. Understandably, she did not take it well.
QuoteThe widow of a civilian killed in last Friday's Fredericton shootings says she has no regrets about the profane phrase she directed at Justin Trudeau during his condolence call to her Wednesday.
Melissa Robichaud said her family was hurt the prime minister did not reach out to them Sunday while in the city, where he paid public tribute to Constables Robb Costello and Sara Burns at city hall.
Robichaud said Trudeau told her he had wanted to give his condolences for the death of her husband, Donnie Robichaud, but couldn't because he was meeting with families of the police officers.
"So I said so what. They wear a vest, they carry a gun, that makes them more important than one of us? I called him a piece of (expletive)," she said in an interview Thursday.
Robichaud said she swore at him because her two sons have been made to feel that their father was somehow less important.
Another example of Trudeau's lack of tact and class.

All this kurfuffle will blow over in a few days.
That depends whether Trudeau/Freeland don't make another boneheaded undiplomatic move to escalate the situation.
QuoteNothing we say on this forum will have the slightest effect on events. Nobody cares what we say about anything.
Sure, but it's a great place to vent.

That's right....Japan too...just executed the last of convicted cult terrorists last week.
Like the Saudis, Japan doesn't give a damn about Trudeau or Freeland's "Canadian values" either.
Sovereign states have the right to set their own justice systems without interference from other nations. Let's reverse the situation and suppose it was the KSA that was publicly criticizing Canada for being too lenient in prosecuting and punishing criminals. Would Canada remain silent? Or would Canada rebuke the KSA for interfering. The answer is fairly obvious.

Of course, the arrogance of Trudeau prevents him from doing the practical, and right thing to do.
I don't think Trudeau has the stamina, physically and emotionally, to get his ass over to Riyadh to repair the relationship. It requires more brains for face to face diplomacy than jogging shirtless and marching in pride parades.

They say tweets by the prime minister in 2017 give them hope for resettlement

Asylum seekers detained on a tiny island nation in Micronesia are pleading with the Trudeau government to resettle them in Canada.

Some of the asylum seekers have been able to go to the United States, which has agreed to resettle up to 1,250 people from Nauru and Manus islands.

How soon before those 1,250 make their way to our "irregular/illegal" border?

Apparently there was not enough "shock and anger" before to motivate "welfare queens" toward gainful employment. They were happy to just stay in the free ride plan for three years.
This morning, in a call-in radio show one woman on the cancelled pilot project called to complain she didn't know how she would be able to pay her mortgage. The poor dear.

Thank you so much turningrite for sharing your personal experience. You provide much food for thought. I wish you well as you face your very serious challenges.
What I find most objectionable about this case is that it appears some health care workers at that London hospital went outside the bounds of the assisted death law by offering it to him. This is against the law. And this under the guise that Mr. Foley can't afford the care he needs.
Re resources yes it's a big problem and I really don't know how this can be resolved other that the government reassigning money from other programs. The funds spent on accommodating illegal migrants for one comes to mind.

This case is shocking and sure to make your blood boil.
QuoteAn Ontario man suffering from an incurable neurological disease has provided CTV News with audio recordings that he says are proof that hospital staff offered him medically assisted death, despite his repeated requests to live at home.
Roger Foley, 42, who earlier this year launched a landmark lawsuit against a London hospital, several health agencies, the Ontario government and the federal government, alleges that health officials will not provide him with an assisted home care team of his choosing, instead offering, among other things, medically assisted death.
I'm so upset over this, I'll you read the rest yourself as my heart is in my throat.
Is this the future of our health care? Scary stuff.

The other day, when in Toronto for the funeral of one of the victims and an obligatory visit to the Danforth, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else.
You remind me. Trudeau just had to invoke his brother Michel who died in an avalanche some years back. I thought that was in bad taste. Another indicator he tried to change the channel. Additionally perhaps looking for some sympathy of his own?

As predictably as the weather gets cold in winter (well, in most of Canada at least), the Ford government announced yesterday that it's rolling back welfare reform in Ontario. In particular, it's chopping the "basic income" experiment even though I believe that prior to the election the Conservatives said they'd continue it.
Yup, that's a broken campaign promise.
The only people who will disagree with welfare reform are those working in the poverty industry (the higher number of welfare recipients the more business they get) and welfare recipients who will complain about having to work for a living.There is still a 1.5% increase to benefits coming.

I suspect the Libs will stay as far away from debate on their immigration and refugee policies as they can possibly manage to do.
It looks to me the Liberals are losing the immigrant vote. This would be disastrous for the Liberals in Ontario in an election given the large number of immigrants. They've lost all support in Alberta. Their strong showing right now is in Quebec and the Maritimes. Given this scenario I doubt the Liberals can win another majority.

Premier Doug Ford, the bully, the dictator, Mike Harris02 strikes again.
QuoteOntario’s new Progressive Conservative government ushered in the first of what it promised would be major reforms to social assistance on Tuesday, reducing a planned increase in support rates and cancelling a pilot program that provided payments to low-income people in certain communities.
In an afternoon news conference, Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod said the government would come up with a plan within 100 days to overhaul the “disjointed patchwork system” left by the previous Liberal regime.
The Liberals, she said, spent money the province didn’t have on “handouts that actually do little if anything to break the cycle of poverty.”
https://globalnews.ca/news/4363514/ontario-tories-basic-income-social-assistance/
Wynne's Liberals had brought in these measures in a last ditch effort to save their skin. A better plan would be to encourage people on social assistance find jobs and gain self esteem that comes with financial independence. There is much duplication in the system i.e. social assistance and Ontario Works where savings could be assigned to giving people a hand up.

Personally, I find it difficult to believe there was some kind of huge terrorism plot and no one else noticed - not his friends, not his family, not law enforcement.
This is exactly the point. Authorities don't appear to be divulging everything they know and the public wants and is entitled to know. That's why there is so much conjecture on social media. As for friends and family, do you really think they would come out and say "Oh yeah, Faisal was plotting a major terrorism strike...." Give your head a shake.

In December of 2015, newly elected Prime Minister Trudeau sent a video message to the Toronto based “Reviving the Islamic Spirit” conference. Observers of this conference know that the conference has morphed into a “who is who” in the world of Islamists in Canada and the USA. The list of speakers has included Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood founder and Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a US unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The conference was also sponsored by IRFAN Canada – until that charity lost is charitable status for funding terrorism and was later declared to be a terrorist entity in Canada.
Prime Minister Trudeau could have sent a message of integration. Instead, he chose to signal how he shared the views of the conference attendees. Specially, he referenced his “shared beliefs, his shared set of values and his shared vision” with the attendees of the conference.

That set the tone for what was to come following his 2015 election.

A sign of things to come for the Liberals.
QuoteFrom the moment a protester grabbed a counter-protester’s megaphone and hurled it into the fountain of the Markham Civic Centre, Saturday’s demonstration against illegal border crossings and their effect on suburban Toronto degenerated quickly into violence and anger.
Police arrived to separate men who had thrown a few punches, and others who seemed about to, including one man who was pushing another as he held up a sign reading “Not In My Back Yard,” according to video captured by Ming Pao Daily News.
It was a small rally of a few dozen mainly Chinese-Canadian protesters in Markham, a city northeast of Toronto, and hundreds of kilometres from any land border with the United States. Nevertheless, as the demonstration was met by a smaller group of pro-refugee protesters, it became a flashpoint in the North American refugee crisis, with Markham’s mayor, Frank Scarpitti, as the unlikely main target.
At issue was a rumour that Markham was about to agree to house as many as 5,000 asylum seekers in unused buildings, after Toronto asked for help accommodating an overflow.
“Say NO to Mayor Frank!” read several signs in identical red lettering. Others played off the recent shooting rampage in Toronto: “Do Not Let Tragedy Happen In Markham.”
These events will keep Liberal operatives awake at night.

Amazingly, we are just 15 months away from the next federal election. Yet, the Liberals are now staking out what will be their main plank to win a second mandate. It seems it will center on their immigration and refugee program policies. All the signs support this strategy. But it this the way to go for the Liberals given the problems that have cropped up at the illegal border and the number of immigrants accepted in recent years and from where they originated?
QuoteImmigrants can be an unpredictable bunch. Perhaps that’s to be expected from anyone willing to pack their lives into a suitcase and start anew halfway around the world. It’s an important attribute to survive and thrive, as most are fortunate to do in Canada. But it also leads to some unpleasant surprises for politicians, who, having welcomed them in, naively expect their undying electoral loyalty. Judging by his recent actions, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to learn this the hard way.
The late Gérald Godin, first Immigration minister for the Parti Québécois in the 1980s, gladly welcomed francophone immigrants by the hundreds of thousands, envisioning a legion of new French Canadians that would gratefully and obediently vote for an independent Quebec. Instead, this “ethnic vote” dashed his dreams and voted en masse for a unified Canada in 1995.
Mr. Trudeau is about to walk into a similar pitfall. Despite his glaring inability to come up with a credible plan to address what’s being called a border-crossing crisis, the Prime Minister appears set to make the issue a key plank of his 2019 re-election campaign. In recent weeks, his team has picked fights with Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s newly elected PC government on the matter.
Federal Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen called Ontario Minister Lisa MacLeod “un-Canadian” for her audacity to question the federal government’s fiscal responsibilities toward provinces caring for asylum seekers. Mr. Trudeau’s principal secretary, Gerald Butts, went one step further by declaring any criticism of his government’s handling of the file as “alt-right.” Positioning Mr. Trudeau as a saviour of the stateless and oppressed is a campaign strategy, and with many urbanite, centre-left voters, it could work. But where he’ll likely suffer for it most is in the suburban, immigrant-rich, swing ridings the Liberals desperately need to retain to keep their majority.
While earning him points with the Davos circuit, Mr. Trudeau’s attitude toward the concept of citizenship may prove a great political liability with established immigrants. Having shed years of blood, sweat and tears to earn their Canadian passports, many immigrant voters likely didn’t take kindly to their Prime Minister issuing, via Twitter, an open invitation to the rest of the world to collect theirs at the door.

When it comes to wooing the immigrant vote Butts is no Jason Kenny and Trudeau is no Harper.
