  1. How about forcefully locate them all into Quebec.

    This right here shows that Quebec’s population growth isn’t even in the top 5 for 2024, if anything they should be taking an even larger portion. Some provinces and territories are already doubling them.

  2. All that land in north west territory, maybe it is time to send them up there and start building it up.

  3. Anything short of forcibly relocating them to another country I do not support. You can’t expect the federal government to make your problem another provinces when it was their own fuck up to begin with.

  4. Something something against the Charter. It’s section 6 (mobility rights) too, so can’t even bypass it with the Notwithstanding Clause.

  5. Does he mean like our ancestors did to the natives? Should we create asylum reservations too?

  6. >Meighen said asylum claimants will choose to move to different jurisdictions if there are good reasons to do so — for example, if they can be linked with community contacts in another province, or if their asylum claims will be processed faster.

    That’s not an incentive. The fakers want their claim to be processed slower.

  7. relocate to Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

    Liberals voted for this shit, they want JT to stay in power, they can deal with this.

  8. We have additional land available for development. New asylum seekers and immigrants can be directed there, where they can be integrated through government-supported skilled programs, allowing them to contribute productively and work towards owning a share of the Canadian dream. This mirrors the approach taken by early European settlers, who worked hard to build their future. We are all striving to prove our worth daily, and this provides an opportunity for newcomers to do the same.

    This should be part of Canadian immigration reform. Work new lands and own your residency if you’re an asylum seeker.

  9. Whenever there is any sort of economic downturn in Canada or crisis Quebec always gets super nationalistic. It’s like clockwork lol.

  10. So you have the asylum / refugee’s and then you have the student visa program and the temporary foreign workers program. I mean if legault wants the tfw’s and the student’s then have at it. The reality is, is that a good chunk of the asylum / refugee’s that landed in Quebec is EXACTLY what the previous governments of Quebec wanted.. Why?? Because they are taking in refugee’s from Haiti, Cameroon or other african nations where there are civil wars, but the people flee’ing speak french. Pauline Marois opened the door when she was in power. It was a win / win situation when it came down to introducing more french in the province. And now they want to rid of these people. You can’t have it both ways my friend.

  11. As I’ve said so many times… refugees should be chosen where there is an actual crisis, in real camps, and Canada can take it’s share right there. Those who claim at the border should be denied. If they made it all the way here, they are NOT the most vulnerable. Students are not refugees either. Stop the abuse at the source.

    Deny all applications made at the borders and get REAL refugees where they really are

  12. “Forcibly relocate” inside Canada, in another province. Not to Zimbabwe or anything.

    And stop sending >50% of the refugees to our province.

    The irony of a nation of colonial settlers who contribute to the destabilization of the rest of the world complaining about immigrants is laughable.
