The Tories just put out an attack ad against the Liberals. Other than the obnoxious music which I find terribly distracting, the Tories make four claims in 31 seconds. Let's talk about them:
1. Canada wants to welcome those who want to build a better future.
Canada has a temporary immigration system. More people come in as temporary workers then as permanent residents. The refugee acceptance rates have dropped 60% just this past year. Over half a million people are living without any immigration status. Living in exploitable conditions, paying in to taxes for a social services system you cannot access is not a "better" future. The only future the Canadian immigration system cares about is the future of corporations maximizing profit.
