Only because they are parties to the UN Convention on Refugees. That was signed after WW2. Maybe it's time to reevaluate it.
We managed to take in Syrian refugees. If I recall correctly around 20,000 “at a time”. Time to process them, time to find places. Times were different. We had Harper, who despite his faults, was an economist and could run a lemonade stand. Hadn’t spent spent spent spent spent spent spent spent spent spent spent and spent.
Nor were we already screaming. Well many of those who created some problems. About being swamped with problems, and cost. Asylum seekers alone are costing 200 mil a year.
As for Chow, well she like Ford inherited a mess and a ton of debt from Tory…..It’s hard to do much, when you’re in debt up to your eyeballs and have some big problems to try and fix. at least a tiny bit. And credit where it’s due. She is trying to raise revenue. As warned by Don Drummond. A long long long long long long long time ago.
Funny that……
So what’s the common denominator? Liberal voters in the GTA. Who have no-one to blame but
themselves

all three ideologies, with a common denominator. Liberal voters in the GTA.
And Sunny days last forever. And if the undeniable truth hurts. Deal with it.
Not only have you created massive problems. You’ve thrown those you claim to champion. Those that don’t have it so good, under the bus. Whether criminals in jails, or people addicted to opioids, immigrants, refugees, those with lower incomes being crushed by Hydro, soaring inflation, interest rates and rents, those thrown overboard during Covid, those in public service, those outside the GTA.
Good job.
