The Trudeau Government’s Fake Fight Against Antisemitism – Part 46

Problems with deportations

The problems identified  above and in the referenced sources are further aggravated by government’s inability to deport those who turn out to be rejected  refugees  claimants and those deemed inadmissible because of criminal background, potential threat to public health or safety  or risk to national security, Thus,

a. in 2017, over 15,000 foreign nationals  were on Canada’s deportation list while the Deportation Department  lost track of 35,000 migrants who were set for deportation;

b. in November 2020, 33,823 foreign nationals of the 52,000 on enforceable removal orders, could not be located; persons were on the “wanted” inventory. Marie Woolf, Feds facing questions over whereabouts of 469 missing foreign criminals, The Globe and Mail, October 15, 2022

c. as of December 2021 the whereabouts of 29,719 people including 469 foreign criminals 30 of which are guilty of serious crimes including culpable homicide and other violent offences such as those convicted of multiple sexual offences. Marie Woolf, supra.

d. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) declined to say how many offenders facing deportation for criminal activity during the pandemic it has lost track of. Marie Woolf, supra.

At the end of the day, as Christine Douglass- Williams pointed out there is no accountability and no assurances to Canadians from the Trudeau government about (a) assimilation plans, [which are incompatible with the government’ mantra of diversity, equity and inclusion] and (b) vetting procedures and (c) potential security and safety issues, Canada fast-tracking asylum claims from Muslim countries, February 4, 2019

And if Trudeau carries on with his current policies, programs and practices concerning refugee intake and immigration without learning the lessons that must be learned from the failed handling of antisemitism by Germany and France not to mention Belgium, Sweden and the U.K. as a result of their globalist refugee and immigration policies, Trudeau’s often repeated slogan that “there is no place for antisemitism in Canada” will end up as another piece of Trudeauesque cynical fiction. Gary Mason, It is not racist to question immigration policy, The Globe and Mail, January 6, 2023

As to Trudeau government’s economically grossly miscalculated immigration targets, suffice to say that Canada will keep up this level of immigration because it has failed to a)  improve significantly its dismally low productivity record, the worse among countries of comparable economies; b) design and implement an industrial strategy responsive  to the 22 century;  c)  remedy the lack of private sector investment in R&D and d) invest in university research. 

And all the sound advice against the government’s policy is falling on deaf ears. 

A detour

On May 16, inst. the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (FAAE) passed the following motion of NDP’s Heather McPherson with the support of four Liberal MPs, the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois.

The motion, as amended, reads as follows:

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), and in light of recent events in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, the committee conduct a study on the actions Canada should take to foster peace, protect civilians, combat terrorism and uphold respect for human rights and international law in the region; that the study consist of at least four meetings; that relevant ministers be invited to appear and that the committee invite witnesses from Canadian civil society, international humanitarian organizations, as well as Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peacebuilding organizations; that the committee reports its findings to the House, and that pursuant to Standing Order 109 the government table a comprehensive response to the report.

Considering the facts that Heather McPherson is a vocal critic of the Israeli government and a staunch supporter of the Palestinians and the NDP is decidedly a party that labours against Israel, the outcome of the study is a bygone conclusion.

It is also a waste of the taxpayers’ hard earned money, because the action that Canada should take is pretty straightforward; namely,

a. to condemn the P.A., the Palestinian Jihad and Hamas to stop their unprovoked terrorist activities against Israel and the inhabitants of Israel;

b. to condemn the P.A. for financing terrorism and in effect for being a terrorist organisation;

c.  to demand that the P.A. and the UNRWA to stop using school books designed to brainwash students and incite them to hate Israel and Jews and engage in terrorist activities.

Would the Liberal government act on any of the foregoing points? Based on Trudeau’s and his Minister of Global Affairs’ past performance, and the government’s domestic identity politics, the likelihood of Canada adopting such a position is practically nil.
