Undermining Canadians' 'faith' in immigration is 'dangerous' says Trudeau.

During a wide-ranging interview with The Canadian Press, Trudeau said he believes a broad Canadian consensus holds that 'immigration is good for the country', in the face of growing opposition to it in other places.

“The decision that the Conservatives have taken recently to, for example, go after the global compact on migration in a way that is deliberately and knowingly spreading falsehoods for short-term political gain and to drum up anxiety around immigration is irresponsible, is not the way we should be moving forward in a thoughtful way on one of the big issues that is facing our country,” Trudeau said.

....the fearmongering, and the misinformation that is being deliberately and knowingly put out by the Conservative party right now, is very dangerous to something that has been an extraordinary advantage and benefit for Canada for generations,” he said.

Over 38,000 'irregular' migrants have arrived in Canada since early 2017.

Last week, Trudeau joined 164 countries in signing the UN Global Compact Migration Pact. Trudeau said he plans to address the Canadian public’s growing fears by emphasizing that Canada has a robust immigration system that ensures incoming refugee claimants pose no security risk and meets international obligations that Canada has agreed to uphold.

Yes indeed...

He’s been rightly criticized as the most “touchy-feely Prime Minister in the history of world politics.”.......he’s willing to be pro-anything that wins the hearts of global liberals.
