There was already a large Haitian population in Montreal and Haiti is a French-speaking country (albeit many speak a dialect), so Quebec is probably a better fit for them than the U.S.A. anyway. At some point the flow will become too large for existing resources in Quebec and the government will close the border.
The deal now is that people walk across in view of a police officer, and are immediately taken into custody so that they have a year or two to wait for a refugee hearing. The success rate for becoming a refugee is about one in three, Haiti is not considered a country that people cannot be sent back to, and eventually many are.
This is going to go on for a little while longer then the political winds will change in Canada and the Liberals will change their stand as they always do when electoral defeat looms large. Our next scheduled election is in 2019 so this change is likely to come next year.
The Conservative opposition has already taken the expected stand (close the borders) and public opinion is showing signs of shifting.
As I’ve said on here many times before, the political balance in Canada is not vastly different than in your country but we don’t have an electoral college to save us from the tyranny of majority opinion based in the liberal cities. In numerical terms, if we had a Trump vs Clinton type of showdown, it would probably go closer to 30-50 than 45-50, our third parties are larger.
But these people from Haiti have few options, their own country is a basket case due to many decades of corrupt government propped up by the so-called free world.
I just came back from a trip to Northern Ontario. The people are very friendly, very helpful, and very well armed.
Is that language French? Sounds more like a really mush-mouthed Creole to me.
They'd be about as able to comfortably communicate with Quebecois as a Downeaster from Maine with an Alabama sharecropper (before exposure to radio and TV homogenized it some).
