“How many dangerous people got in because security was too weak?”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Brad Redekopp
Redekopp is a standard-issue Conservative Party backbencher who opposes the Liberals' statements, their plans, and their management of the country. He'll take any opening to call out the other side's flaws, mistakes, or anything short of delivering heaven on earth for Canadians.
“You're doing a bad job kicking out people we don't like. I want you to do more to deport people.”
“If someone lied to get citizenship, deport them now.”
“Why aren't you checking right away whether someone lied to get their citizenship? You're not taking this seriously.”
“Why did the government take so long to try and revoke this guy's citizenship?”
“Terrorist convicted in the U.S. got Canadian citizenship in 2001. How did that happen?”
“Why won't you admit the real problem and do your job?”
“The government is ignoring a real problem. I want the minister to fix that problem.”
“You still didn't answer the specific question. Did you cross this t and dot this i?”
“Did you think about not letting people use great-great-grandpa to get citizenship?”
“Did you tell cabinet your bill opens up citizenship to millions of Americans?”
“You did something bad. I want you to admit it.”
“You're dodging the real number. I demand you admit how many people this could affect.”
“I'm calling out the minister for dodging my question earlier. I want her to stop avoiding the topic and give real numbers.”
“I want to imply CBC said something scary that the minister should be afraid of.Unnamed millions and unnamed nights become my punchline.”
“You're talking down the number of new citizens, but the real number is already high. Admit it.”
“Do you really think only 5,000 new Canadians will come per year?”
“I doubt the minister's number. I think this will let in a lot more people than she says.”
“You can't promise that, right? Your programs aren't perfect.”
“You didn't answer the question. I'll guess my own number then: half a million. The government's contractor overcharged and underdelivered. Why are we still paying them?”
