put pressure on Ottawa to reduce the flow of asylum seekers

crossing at Roxham Road.

Quebec metropolis, a significant proportion of whom do not speak
French, greatly complicates our francization goals," the letter
reads.

it or not," Legault said in the letter. "It seems to me that it

to ensure that these boundaries are respected."

is not showing the strength needed to influence the federal
government.

inability to even bring up the possibility of [Quebec]
independence gives us no leverage," he said.

(IRCC) acknowledged the pressure being put on Quebec and Ontario
but underscored what it says is Canada's obligation under the

> After demanding for months that Ottawa stop the flow of
migrants into the country, Quebec's premier is making his pitch
to English Canada for the closure of an irregular border
crossing popular with asylum seekers — and for their transfer
outside his province.
>
> Roxham Road lays between official points of entry and is not a
sanctioned border crossing, but has been used by migrants to
cross into Canada for several years. While it is not officially
open, the increasing number of migrants entering Canada at that
location has prompted calls to close it as a point of access.

>
> Later in the day, federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre
responded to Legault's letters and called on Trudeau to create a
plan to end the crossings at Roxham Road within a month.

> Under the Safe Third Country Agreement signed by Washington
and Ottawa in 2002, most asylum seekers cannot make claims at
official border crossings between the two countries. But the
agreement doesn't apply to people who illegally cross into
Canada outside of a border station, most of whom are not
prosecuted because they file an asylum claim.

> In the past, Conservative MPs have floated extending the Third
Country Agreement to apply to anyone who reaches Canada, though
that would require Washington's approval and likely violates
international rules.

Lies. These three MP's shouldn't be allowed to work in
government for life. The western politician needs go extinct,
especially those coming from the right, as the only thing they
know how to do is create division and actively make things
worse. Do these idiots not realize that there are Muslim
Canadians? Do they not realize that as members or parliament
they are supposed to serve all Canadian's no matter what they
look like or what faith they believe in? But i guess to these
western cancers only "whites" are the true Canadians and
everyone else are their colonial subjects. You idiots are
starting to **** me off, actually useless.
Western rightist politicians are professional dividers, it
boggles my mind that these types of human specimen is able to be
elected into power time and time again.

an outcome she believes she would have never seen if not for the

classmates, being told he didn't have the intelligence to learn

superintendents and administrators claiming not to have received

caste, a system of social stratification from South Asia that
stretches back thousands of years.
