You would think — given some of the coverage of her views on immigration and embrace of Donald Trump — that Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch wouldn’t be complaining about coverage she didn’t get.

In Leitch’s latest fundraising email, she says the media neglected to cover her objection to the Liberal government’s decision to lift the visa requirement for Mexicans. She attached a press release that was dated November 16 — which was not, in fact, released in full to reporters.

“On Wednesday, November 16, I denounced the Liberal Government’s decision to lift the visa requirement for Mexicans entering Canada without a plan to address the spike in false refugee claims that is sure to follow,” Leitch’s fundraising email begins.

“However, the media was not interested in reporting a point of view that is different from the Prime Minister’s, especially coming from me, since they know that my campaign is giving a voice to every day Canadians.”

Leitch encouraged her supporters to share the release with friends. But the release was not issued to the Parliamentary Press Gallery — the principal way the government, MPs, ministers, opposition parties, interest groups and party leadership candidates communicate with reporters.

Leitch’s campaign has not yet responded to a request for additional information from iPolitics.

While Leitch’s press release did not reach reporters’ inboxes, the candidate did tweet on November 16:

The Mexican visa requirement prevents false refugee claims while facilitating tourism. There’s no reason for it to be removed. #cpcldr — Kellie Leitch (@KellieLeitch) November 17, 2016

She also wrote a post on her Facebook page which says she strongly disagrees “with the Liberal government’s decision to lift the visa requirement for Mexicans entering Canada without a plan to address the spike in false refugee claims that is sure to follow.”

Leitch wrote that the Liberals “are playing games with our immigration system.”

While there are some similarities between the Facebook post and the press release, the press release is longer and mentions U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.

“Since the election of President-elect Donald Trump, Canadian news outlets have been reporting about the ‘potential flood of Mexican migrants’ coming into Canada once the visa requirement is lifted on December 1, 2016,” says the release.

“You can’t lift the visa requirement and not address the potential for false refugee claims. The Liberals are playing games with our immigration system. Our immigration officials are already overworked and pressured to meet unrealistic immigration quotas. We can’t trade the integrity of the system.”
