The Trudeau government’s obsession with virtue signalling via Twitter is costing us all greatly.

It was a tweet from Trudeau, after all, that ostensibly erased our southern border and tore up Canada’s immigration laws, with tragic results for legitimate refugees and immigrants waiting to start new lives here.

The results of Trudeau’s reckless actions are now well known and are being defined by a majority of Canadians in a recent Angus Reid Institute poll as a “crisis.”

More than 30,000 people — who are not refugees by Canada’s own legal definition — have simply walked across unofficial border points and claimed refugee status, and 67 per cent of Canadians don’t approve of this flouting of our laws.

Last January, Trudeau tweeted: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength. #WelcometoCanada.” That tweet went viral and, as a result, Canada’s immigration system caught a nasty 20-month-long flu that shows no sign of stopping.
