Canada: Fredericton, NB aiming to become a “sanctuary city”

Feb 24, 2017 9:05 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Fredericton was also the location where a Muslim migrant was reported to have sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl at her first high school dance. Concern about this is not motivated by some personal animus against Muslims, as advocates for the indiscriminate welcome of refugees have long suggested. The crisis in Europe should be a lesson learned; Canada and the U.S. should not have to go through the same bitter experience. Vetting refugees is a requirement for protecting the public; refugees should be vetted for their willingness to integrate and accept Western societal norms. The mass sexual assault of infidel girls and a Muslim man having a sexual emergency are just a small part of what we have seen from asylum seekers in Europe; how much more of this must free societies accept?

It was also announced this week that the Montreal mayor was pushing hard for Montreal to become a “sanctuary city,” posing a heightened risk, since Quebec has become a “flashpoint for asylum seekers” — unvetted — who are now streaming into Canada from the U.S. because of fears of being deported by President Trump. In January alone, 452 asylum seekers showed up at the Quebec border, a reported 230% increase from the previous year.

“Fredericton open to becoming a ‘sanctuary city’ for asylum seekers: Mayor”, by Heide Pearson and Jeremy Keefe , Global News, February 22, 2017:

The mayor of Fredericton, New Brunswick is considering declaring his city a “sanctuary city,” meaning the doors would be open to those seeking refuge in Canada.

“What it theoretically means is we’re an open city for any refugee, undocumented refugee that hasn’t got citizenship status,” Mayor Mike O’Brien said Wednesday.

Despite O’Brien insisting it’s “more sensible” that the entire province be declared a “sanctuary province,” and that the burden might be too much for a city on its own, the premier’s office declined Global News’ requests for comment on the possibility.

“Health is a provincial responsibility, education is a provincial responsibility so we can’t guarantee even if we said it as a municipality that we can provide those type of services that would need them,” O’Brien said.

The number of refugee claimants that illegally crossed into the province from the United States increased significantly last year, according to numbers from the Canadian Border Services Agency.

There were 23 refugee claimants at the border in 2016, which accounts for more than the four previous years combined.

The situation is increasing at an alarming rate in provinces across Canada, as immigrants in the U.S. seek refuge in the country.

Quebec and Manitoba have been the most popular crossing points, with dozens making the trek into those provinces by foot across the borders.

“If they present themselves where Canadian Border Services is located, they’ll be turned back to the U.S., so they’re crossing at places where there aren’t established border crossings,” New Brunswick Multicultural Association executive director Alex LeBlanc said.

“People are at a very real risk of deportation, and so risking literally life and limb to cross the border into Canada, for many, is a safer prospect than being deported to a country where they may face persecution or unsafe, inhospitable environments.”

Declaring itself a sanctuary city means Fredericton will welcome any asylum seeker without persecution, even if they are an illegal immigrant.

According to the Multicultural Association, the city welcomed more Syrian refugees per capita than any other Canadian city, and because of that, O’Brien says he’s welcome to helping more in need.

It’s a big job, O’Brien admits, and would require a lot of details to be ironed out, including whether police would be told they can’t inform immigration officials should they detain an illegal immigrant….

    What is this new wave of declaring cities as ‘sanctuary city’ ??? Have we ran out of our migration point system to invite learned educated idividuals from around the world ? And who gives right to these politicians to do favoratism to only one religion group ? Why ? What have we missing by not inviting these islamic ppl with closed eye ? We hve lots already to be proud off. Are these politicians getting paid to make Canada like EU ?
    Is it time for us canadians to wake up and tell these liberals to stop or leave ottawa ……

      “Are these politicians getting paid to make Canada like EU ?”

      Naaahh. Nothing to do with cash or ideology, or both. They are just goodhearted, and Europe? They probably never heard of it.

      How could one ask such questions about politicians? The cream of mankind, known for their honesty, integrity and general trustworthiness.

        Dear Neighbors, I live next door (Maine) and I implore you to make sure your Provincial Government do not allow 2 sets of Laws in your Country. The western laws on your books ase the only laws that should be allowed. If the Muslim new neighbors do not like that then ship them back from where they came from. It is the only way you and we can continue to survive with a moral style of life. I pray for you all!

          Good luck EM !!! As long as the liberal party in Canada thrives and Trudeau is allowed to encourage the invasion of his nation, you are in danger as well.. Canada does not seem to even remember the attack in Ottawa, just a year or so ago.. These idiots up there are only hoping for another immigration push like when the Asians came.. They were different they were NOT Muslim.. Canada lives in a bubble, and it seems that they will be the open door for the terrorist agenda… GOOD LUCK neighbor of terror nation..

    All Canadians need do is investigate the “sanctuary cities” in neighboring USA! They will see how Taxpayers have been affected by the lunacy of globalist politicians who run those cities.
    But, it is not all about taxes,which the employed and revenue producing citizens are burdened with.
    There is also the element of drug addicts, drug pushers, and terrorist cells which recruit from the untrained, education-lacking, welfare recipients who are ripe for recruitment from those who offer them “a cause.”
    Once those “sanctuary cities” take root, they are literally havens for law-breakers, parasites, spread through the ranks of unfortunates who seek improved living conditions. What about New Brunswick and what it offers is unknown to me, but the “sanctuary city” idea is a loser for all concerned.

      They should be removed from office, jailed, and stripped of their pensions & perks, and have their past pay clawed back by seizure of assets (hard to do in khalid’s case ‘cuz you just know she sends our tax$ back to pakistan to promote her agenda for muslim supremacists).

      When Fredericton has its first episode of GangRape/Looting/Arson like Feb21 in Rinkeby Stockholm Sweden where police were mobbed for arresting a drug dealer (PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE REAL PROPHET VISIONARY, HE SAW THIS DAYS EARLIER but the MEDIA SAID “what trouble in sweden??), they should strap “mayor” o’brien to the hood of a drone copcar and drive it by remote into the epicentre of the anarchy so that the isLIEmist mob can thank him in person for his charity & tolerance and his “SANCTUARY SEWER FOR SHARIA DIAHREA”….
      What a F**king TRAITOR of a mayor, openly flouting our immigration LAWS knowing full well trudolt (the pervert prophet’s biggest fan) will LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND DO NOTHING TO DEFEND OUR CANADIAN VALUES from the genocidal molester mysoginists!!!!

    Look, they’re either immigrants or refugees. They can’t be both.

      Did you know that when questioned, 13% of isLIEmic “refugees” express clear & strong support for isis (who follow the “prophet’s example & drections literally).
      Did you know that Canada does NOTHING to determine if new Canadians understand our laws or if they have malicious antisocial intent!!!!

    Black Lives Matter, illegal ‘migrants’ illegally crossing, and now Sanctuary Cities, each coming into Canada from the US. . . looks like Canada may have to build an even bigger, and more beautiful wall on its southern border – and get the US to pay for it. 😉

    So often what happens in the US eventually makes its way to Canada; however in this case, regarding these aforementioned three societal ills, I’d say, it is very unfortunate indeed.

    These people are not refugees. Not yet, anyway.

    They haven’t been screened, vetted or approved by Canadian border services officials. Their cases haven’t been reviewed by an immigration judge, and they haven’t demonstrated that they meet the legal standard and definition of a refugee, according to international law.

    And the way these folks are crossing into Canada – via its shared border with the United States – actually disqualifies them from making asylum claims.

    Watch as I explain what Canadian law says about the matter and why we shouldn’t be allowing this.

    These cities are ignoring Canadian Law.

    Far too many people think (or rather refuse to think) the way O’Brien does with closed eyes and ears and minds.

    The more atrocities that are committed and the more vicious they become the more those fools will welcome the offenders.
    There are so many examples from which they could garner true facts and learn by the dreadful miseries experienced by the victims of “refugee” crimes.
    But they are steadfastly determined to become another Sweden or Germany or France or Holland or UK, etc.

    The O’Briens and the Trudeaus and all of their ilk are despicable traitors and should be treated as such.

    Has anyone at all thought of the consequences of illegal alien invaders taking up space in our already decrepit health care system, where even dental care is considered a luxury and not funded?

    You can be sure that the ‘refugees’ will be getting first class root canals, crowns and bridgework at our expense.

    And then there’s the consideration of drivers’ licences and more importantly – insurance for the liability to the public which is sure to take its toll.

    Wait until there are crime victims. I am sure that further incidents will be as efficiently scrubbed as they have been in the recent past.

    None of these issues are discussed. To do so is considered racist and just may end a complainant up in the courts.

    And don’t forget the slogan our PM keeps repeating to the revered middle class, “Diversity is our strength, comrade.”
