Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱
When I was Immigration Minister I launched an initiative to end automatic citizenship through birth on soil. It was clear to me that birth tourism was a growing problem, cheapening the value of Canadian citizenship. Birth tourism businesses were openly operating in places like Richmond BC, selling package deals to fly expectant mothers in from foreign countries, housing them, and arranging for their childbirth in Canadian hospitals. But provincial governments, who have responsibility for maintaining vital statistics such as the registration of births, refused to cooperate with us on the issue. Several, including Ontario, refused to keep stats or records tracking births on the basis of their parents’ citizenship status. They then used the absence of provincial data (which they refused to collect) to say that there was no evidence of a problem! Talk about circular reasoning! Unfortunately, the current federal government seems to have no concern for the ongoing devaluing of Canadian citizenship: witness Bill C-3, which effectively expanded citizenship to potentially millions of people with no real connection to Canada. Canadians should demand better. A foreigner who obtains a visa under false pretenses, flies here with the sole intent of giving birth on Canadian soil, uses our stressed health care system (often without even paying their medical bills!) all to get a Canadian passport for a child whose family has no attachment to Canada, is clearly abusing the generosity of Canadians. This cheapens the value and meaning of the common citizenship that binds us together. It has to stop. policyoptions.irpp.org/2018/08/previo…

We don't have this figure for Canada because the authorities refuse to collect that information

Yes, I explain this in Suicidal Empathy on the chapter of Cultural Theory of Mind (which the West completely lacks).

x.com/gilileoB/statu… Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party, says: “We cannot trust America.” Meanwhile: - His wife lives in the United States - All four of his children live and study in the United States - 91% of his investment portfolio is in the United States - He owns a house in the United States Yet he tells Canadians they can’t trust America. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The Canadian Government demanded his wife self-kill herself over her cancer diagnosis. Her husband refused and fled to America and she is now in remission.

🚨🇨🇦 The Liberal narrative just collapsed… Fraser Institute President Niels Veldhuis is setting the record straight: 🇨🇦 Canada’s economic decline isn’t a 🇺🇸 "Trump Tariff" problem….it’s a made-in-Canada crisis. Stop blaming the neighbors 🇺🇸 for the mess we created at home. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #Economy #Canada #Trump #USA
