Some of the left wing pols realized they were importing rule-of-law, hard working, entrepreneurial Chinese not future left wing voters. So it had to stop.

Canada is filling up with the dregs of the Earth because of their ‘socially conscious’ immigration policies. It is now a muslim country. Why? Because some people will say ANYTHING and sign ANYTHING in order to become a permanent resident. CANADA = MARSEILLE. Inch’ALLAH!
