Canada is battling a 130 percent spike in the number of Mexicans, Haitians, and others seeking asylum there, overwhelming shelters and leaving officials scrambling with an $822 million crisis.
Shelter systems in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, and other Canadian cities are over capacity, prompting its liberal government to take steps to deter the flows of people north.
Canada's migrant headache mirrors similar problems seen in the US, Britain, and the European Union, which are all struggling to cope with their own influxes of people from poorer countries.
In Peel, a Toronto suburb, the shelter system is running at 300 percent of capacity, with asylum-seekers occupying more than 70 percent of the beds and many more camping on the streets, officials say.
'It's an ugly situation,' said Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton, Ontario.
Brown's city of some 700,000 people is close to Toronto Pearson, the country's busiest airport.
'If Canada's going to allow more asylum claimants into our country, we need to make sure that they're not left abandoned, and frankly, what we've seen is too much of that.'
Meanwhile, shelter systems in Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver are also over capacity — exacerbating a shortage of available places for the homeless population.
A rise in asylum claimants has become a major political issue across many countries, including the US.
Cities such as New York and Chicago are grappling with how to manage the waves of migrants who've traveled across the southern border.

Yeah but as far as I know Canada ain’t putting them up in 4 or 5 star hotels yet. Motel 6 and below maybe but not the Ritz.j
Well what did the idiot globalists think would happen if they threw open the doors to the third world? They are only feigning concern now because it has become such a mess that it is affecting them politically.
a small fraction of what Texas has been dealing with the decades.
At this point I am convinced North America is supposed to get all the excess population, then they neutron the sh-t out of it. That is what I would do if I was a hand rubber or a chicom or russian.
Don’t give them coats.
How are they getting to Canada and passing through 2 borders or more? Plane? Trains? Boat?
Good idea - go North, young man!
“”with their own influxes of people from poorer countries.””
Kamala needs to do a better job taking care of the problems that make those “POORER” countries POOR or does she seek to make OURS POORER? See - they’re driving us all nuts!
No accidents. Putting the squeeze on old Uncle Sam.
The political elite in Canada can eat it.
When my Loyalist ancestors moved to Canada all they got was some uncleared land, a hoe and a packet of seeds...
I have a better thought. SEND THEM BACK. Or stop them at the border. Why is that never an option? Instead, the US, Canada, and Europe are just spending millions (or billions!) scrambling to fly the migrants here and there, scrambling for places for them to live, and wringing their hands about this big, big problem.
SEND. THEM. BACK.
They could rest up at Justine true-DOH’s palace. I mean place. Yeah, that’s it....
It’s past time to stop all migration everywhere. All nations - close your borders.
Only 130% spike?
Zombie invasion but they’ll all head to the US after they get their free cash from Canada
