“It was a crisis before they started showing up, and now we are saying, ‘Let’s work together to fix this,’” said the mayor, who has respectfully told Immigration Minister Sean Fraser “don’t just drop your problem on our doorstep. Let’s work together and figure this out.”
The honeymoon capital of the world has now become Canada’s centre for housing refugee applicants. Via the United States, people are flooding in at the Roxham Rd. border point in Quebec from Haiti, Mexico, Sudan and other countries. They’re being bused to Cornwall, Windsor and Niagara Falls.
“They are coming from dozens of countries,” said Diodati. “I think it’s probably around 2,000 rooms, with an average of three per room. That would put us with more than 5,000 refugee seekers at a given time.”
Immigration through all streams is record-breaking ... the fact we are dealing with housing shortages should not surprise anyone.
