Canada has lost the plot. Recruiting foreigners for our military should be illegal. There is no doubt Carney is destroying Canada. Canada and Canadians don’t make these decisions. Carney makes them in the backrooms without consultation with anyone. The Liberals take no ideas or instruction from the people who are paying and employing them. They did not elect a Dictator which we have.

Liberals have broke the social contract, we relied on them and they squandered our wealth. Liberals will let the fraud continue, because its cheaper to do nothing then put resources into finding them. They also don't have the will to tell public sector workers to get to work and find the fraud. Liberals would rather get those asylum claimants towards making voters out of them than do anything to curb the fraud.
Criticizes Liberal government handling of fraud, asylum processing, and public sector accountability while expressing concern about political motivations behind immigration policy.
