Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: Asylum seekers began streaming in from US upon Trudeau election, long before Trump immigration order

Mar 6, 2017 3:37 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Upon Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration that would see a temporary ban on Muslim immigration from the countries that pose the worst threat to American homeland security, Trudeau immediately sent out a tweet to welcome all asylum seekers to Canada. He was met with joy from those who did not stop to consider the Muslim migrant chaos in Europe, as well as the fact that the refugees would not be properly vetted by Canada. News then broke that asylum seekers began streaming into Canada at an alarming rate to escape the Trump order, which was actually not the case. The refugees began their hijra into Canada upon the Trudeau election win.

Statistics provided to The Canadian Press show claim levels generally began rising in Canada before U.S. President Donald Trump took office.

In fact, the increase seems to have begun just as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took power.

That’s because when Trudeau was first elected, illegal refugees and asylum seekers knew all too well whom they could exploit: the liberal mindset would put citizens’ interests beneath theirs. Canada’s doors to unvetted refugees were finally flung wide open, exposing Canadians to what has rocked Europe.

In addition to the threat of jihadi attacks due to the infiltration of the Islamic State through the refugee stream, reports are circulating about covered up  sex assaults by Muslim migrants, who take cover under the prevailing atmosphere of political correctness and the aggressive “anti-Islamophobia” that are motions sweeping through parliament both at the federal and provincial levels. Six Canadian cities have signed anti-Islamophobia charters that have been drafted by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), formerly the Muslim Brotherhood-linked CAIR-CAN. An anti-Islamophobia motion also passed unanimously in Ontario.

“Under pressure, Cabinet braces for discussion on border-jumpers that planned to cross long before election”, National Post, March 5, 2017:

OTTAWA — Federal cabinet ministers are set for an in-depth discussion this week of the practical and political pressures being placed on the Liberal government by a rising number of asylum seekers in Canada.

Border security, RCMP and immigration officials have been running scenarios to prepare for the possibility that a relative winter trickle of illegal immigration into Canada could turn into a spring flood.

The results of their table-top exercises will help form options being put before cabinet Tuesday, The Canadian Press has learned.
Officials are also studying links between distinct groups of border-crossers that might belie the common notion they’re all being pushed into Canada by the volatile U.S. political climate.

Two government officials confirmed to The Canadian Press that many of the people coming into Quebec hold American visas issued at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Interviews revealed the visas were obtained to use the U.S. as a transit point get to Canada and claim asylum — plans set in motion long before the U.S. election in November, the officials said, neither of whom were authorized to publicly discuss the issue.

But it is the pictures of RCMP officers hoisting small children above snow-covered fields along the Canada-U.S. frontier that have drawn global attention and placed political pressure on the Trudeau government from all sides.

The Opposition Conservatives are demanding a crackdown, and want those crossing illegally charged with crimes, something the government notes cannot happen until asylum claims are heard.

The fact those claims are being fed into a clogged system has others urging the Liberals to put more resources into the refugee-determination process and the agencies that support newcomers.
“We are the endpoint,” said Chris Friesen, director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia.

The Immigration and Refugee Board reported in its last quarterly financial document that in the first nine months of 2016-17, there was a 40-per-cent increase in new claims compared to the same period the previous year.

Statistics provided to The Canadian Press show claim levels generally began rising in Canada before U.S. President Donald Trump took office.s to have begun just as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took power.

In October 2015, the month of the last federal election, 1,519 claims were lodged in Canada. The next month, when the Trudeau Liberals took office, there were 1,647 and — with the exception of two months in 2016 — they have been rising since.

Trump is pushing people into Canada, but the Trudeau government’s repeated messaging on welcoming diversity and immigration is a pretty strong pull factor, Friesen said. “We are now the beacon of hope for desperate refugees.”

In B.C., there has been a 60-per-cent increase in the number of refugee claimants in the last 12 months compared to the previous one-year period.

Most are Iraqi Kurds and Afghans, and there were also 18 undocumented Latin Americans from Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela who recently crossed the Canada-U.S. border, immigration agencies said…..

    Canadians, Is this what you want ?.If not Trudeau must go !.I suspect he is over reacting to the iconic
    picture of the small drowned child on the Turkish beach after his relatives irresponsibly brought him on a perilous sea crossing. The child’s relatives wanted to take him to Canada at the beginning of this exodus
    Many children have died unnecessarily on that crossing and it is tragic but these were not refugees ,They were economic migrants,!!!

      Plus Trudeau fell over himself to open the floodgates for “Syrian refugees” so he wouldn’t be entirely outdone by Angela Merkel.

        Thank you, it confirms my findings also. I am only upset the world will never know the truth. Instead people will attack Canada’s domestic matters and PM.

        Actually knowing the biggest “evil” hurts so much, but maybe in time it will also be divided.. If there is any God or justice in the universe.

      The US is helping the Saudis invade Yemen, that is why they are not on the list. The US is working with them to destabilize the rest of the region as well as Europe and now the US. Luckily Obama’s flood of refugees has been stopped for now. It is all part of the plan to destabilize most of the world in order to bring bigger government = total tyranny.

      • Jeanette says

        Another angle might be that U.N. Agenda 2030 calls for killing 13 of every 14 people on Earth. What if countries were infested with a group of people who function under a “sacred” text that commands them to kill everyone else?

        So, globalist elites overrun non-Muslim countries (and note that in many of those countries, the elites had disarmed their people before they began the invasion) with Muslims, who kill everyone else, and that leaves only 1.7 billion people, rather than the current 7 billion.

        As an added feature, the remaining 1.7 billion is made up of easily controlled not-too-bright people, thanks to the Muslims’ proclivity for incest.

        A globalist’s dream!

        • Quinn says

          Mar 7, 2017 at 2:30 pm

          Jeanette- interesting point!! I don’t know much about the UN Agenda 2030. I’m looking through it. I don’t see anything specific about depopulating the world. Which goal is that in or is it more the globalists who have said this and it’s not specifically in Agenda 2030? Thanks!!

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 7, 2017 at 10:08 pm

          Jeanette, I am *no* fan of the UN, and there is no doubt that many of UN Agenda 2030 goals are creepily socialistic, and the emphasis on “climate change” is iffy at best, but there is no mention of mass slaughter of over 90% of the people on earth. Where do you and others who adhere to this claim get that?

          “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”

          https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld

        • Quinn says

          Mar 8, 2017 at 9:44 am

          gravenimage- I think people who make that claim are quoting the globalist elite, not specifically any UN agenda. People like Ted Turner who said, “A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal”. Others have said more like 500m-1b people. Henry Kissinger said, “Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world.”

          And from the Initiative for the United Nations ECO-92 Earth Charter, “The present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world carrying capacity, cannot be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to contraception, sterilization and abortion, but must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary”. ….etc, etc. So the last one is saying that the ends justify the means, moral relativism, where they believe that killing off entire populations is worth it, because it will make the remaining people lives so much better. That is what is happening now in the middle east, I mean you can draw your own conclusions. We also want their oil and also surprisingly their opium (Afghanistan).

      There is already a ROAR of protest against PM Selfie Zoolander getting louder every day. They are not admitting he is unpopular. The government’s approval rating went down dramatically in the last two months. It will plummet as low as it can go soon when people understand the threat to free speech. Zoolander wants to hand Canada over to Muslims.

    Quotes: “Two government officials confirmed….. that many of the people coming into Quebec hold American visas issued at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia……..

    Chris Friesen, director of settlement services…..said. “We are now the beacon of hope for desperate refugees.”

    Would the irresponsible and self-important Mr Friesen care to explain how migrants from Saudi Arabia – or almost any of the countries they set off from – can be described as “desperate refugees” ?

    What kind of “desperate refugee” is it who has the ready-cash to fly themselves and their families from North Africa or the ME to Canada.?

    What is the likelihood of the Canadian media putting these simple questions to Friesen and Trudeau anytime soon ?

    There is an unintentionally hilarious article in Newsweek in the March 3rd issue. Here is the caption:

    Hemmingford, Quebec–A family of Sudanese refugees struggles across the US-Canada border and is taken into custody on February 12 by Royal Canadian Mounted Police after getting out of a taxi in upstate New York…

    …Refugees are also risking longer and more dangerous treks to cross the snowy fields on the border between Minnesota and Manitoba.
    ………..

    After reading this one has visions of the Donner Party. But reread the first part, regarding the taxi. Here is the picture that accompanies the piece:

    http://s.newsweek.com/sites/www.newsweek.com/files/2017/02/21/fleeing-north-winter.jpg

    Far from being an onerous trek, the taxi has pulled up *right next to the border*–about two sidewalk widths away–and the RCMP officers are helping the kids up the short slope. If they hadn’t wanted to be taken into custody, all they would have had to have done was to walk it back two or three steps and have stayed in the US. Some helpful white guy–the cabbie? An out-of-uniform Mountie? Is helpfully collecting the family’s belongings and bringing them along.

    I’m sure they will be having nice cups of cocoa in the Mounties’ office in a few minutes from the time this photo was taken.

    Mar 6, 2017 at 7:33 pm

    there were also 18 undocumented Latin Americans from Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela who recently crossed the Canada-U.S. border, immigration agencies said…..

    About the above- taken form the post–
    a few questions.

    These 18 were from among how many? ( and 18 from 3 countries seems to me to be 1 or 2 families form each). Over how long a time frame.

    —————————————————————————————————————————————-

    Also mentioned- that there were Kurds- how many of those? Last I had heard – the Kurds who are in the US are lawful, quiet and hardworking. I -from JW and other sites- seen claims that in Turkey (especially) and also Iran they are ‘criminals” and ‘terrorists’ and -in general- “bad people”. (To me, coming form those sources, probably patriots).

    Any clarifications would be appreciated.

    Immigrants that are using regular ways to come to Canada often wait FOR YEARS to come there, and these ones use their own EXPRESS WAYS to come in.
    Soon Canada will face the same problems that European countries already have with flood of migrants without any documented history checkup and any valid personal data…

    The Libtarded Party of Canada is causing a constitutional crisis. The Governor General should demand Justin’s resignation and appoint a replacement PM. If the government does not recover the confidence of the country, there should be a new election.

    Now sit back and watch them wreck Canada from every conceivable angle – drain the welfare system, mount terrorist attacks, attempt takeover of schools, universities and other institutions and gradually ap Canadians strength and morale before total subjugation and takeover. Once they are strong in numbers, they will organise and arm themselves. They will fight street battles. Through Islam they are hardwired for conquest in the name of Islam.

    Canada has become a soft target, thanks to Traitor Trudeau.

    I suppose now we can expect the ton of trash that these illegal migrants leave in their wake, all over their path to Canada? Step up to the plate you environmentalists, this is a task tailor made for you. Canada does NOT need illegal immigrants who are escaping the screening that might well designate them terrorists or criminals. We have long lists of immigration applications from decent people who play by the established rules, let’s take them instead of a bunch of unknowns who should be deported immediately.
