How are they legal when their student permits have expired? They’re protesting because they are illegals and want this to be changed to permanent residency on the grounds of basically nothing? Is it any surprise that they weren’t even attending legitimate institutions in the first place? Because it’s beyond retarded. Then THEN THEEEENN claimed they were victims of fraud. They knew they was in cahoots with the fraudulent strip mall “colleges”. Let’s just call a spade a spade
let’s call liars and scammers what they are
You've raised multiple issues.
Immigration fraud and degree mills are a problem and need to be tackled.
Illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be tackled.
These are different issues.
We were talking about freedom of expression and who it applies to.
The majority of students who protested were not illegals. Atleast not yet.
Even if they were attending strip mall colleges knowingly, they currently hold a visa issued by Canada.
They were protesting the federal and provincial policy changes that would impact their visa status.
They have the right to do that.
Even if they are illegal immigrants who have overstayed their visas, our charter allows them freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression is being able to say things that are offensive or disagreeable.
