Ernie Eves wants the federal government to hand over much of Ontario’s immigration and refugee selection to Ontario. Having done this for Quebec, what should be the problem? But there is a problem, according to Denis Coderre, the Immigration Minister. He is furious that Eves suggests that Ontario is being flooded with foreign gangsters, scam artists, and yes, even terrorists. Eves wants to crack down on this scum and believes the feds are not up to the task.
Well, of course, we all know that immigration is a sacred cow to the Liberals. So X number of baddies get into Canada under their insanely soft policies. Isn't that a small price to pay to keep the urban ridings safe for Liberal candidates? Besides the undesirable immigrants, there is the sheer number that Ontario has to provide for in terms of language training, education, and—often—welfare. The feds are not ponying up to the table with enough cash, thus putting a strain on the Ontario taxpayers.
