They have turned a blind eye to non-citizens convicted of serious crimes in Canada, who are getting sweetheart deals to avoid deportation. They have lost track of millions of non-citizens who have no legal reason to be in Canada, and they are issuing visas to terrorists. The immigration minister told us she meets with the Prime Minister on a weekly basis to discuss her file.³ Reasoning · 30 wordsThat must mean that she is following his orders.
