This is what lazy European far right parties always do : blame a national problem on undocumented migrants. This is just cruelty for the sake of it. If you want them out of here, you do that. What's the point of preventing them from getting health care. Like a virus will know not to go from an undocumented immigrant to a regular Canadian citizen. It is a dumb policy and it tells me the Conservatives are uncapable of generating original ideas. Definitely not ready for government.
Directly criticizes Conservative policy on undocumented migrants' healthcare access as illogical and cruel, with moral condemnation of the approach.

No, what divided the country was Canada's loose immigrant program under the Trudeau Liberals.
Over a period of 10 years our population went from 35 million to 41 million people, mostly through immigration.
That is an approximate increase of 17%.
This increase caused problems with housing, health care, jobs and increased cost to taxpayers because of costs associated with providing services to fake asylum seekers.
Detailed critique of Trudeau's immigration policy with specific statistics and claims about negative consequences for housing, healthcare, and jobs.
