The Conservative govt. has become like how the Liberals were and come the next election I hope voters will show them what's what. All the Conservative party wants to do is bring in more and more immigrants without actually creating jobs for them or for the millions already here sans employment.

It’s crazy!Suzuki's parents — of course — weren't born in Canada either.
But he said that immigration is okay when you welcome people who are struggling in other countries.
Suzuki's comments have angered Kenney, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure:...........
