Bizarre: He came to Canada in 1997. Used a false passport. His refugee claim was rejected, but 11 days after that, he married a woman who sponsored him for immigration. That, too, was rejected. Trudeau referred to him as a Canadian in the House of Commons.

The first warning that Canada was becoming an unserious country was when it elected a Prime Minister whose principal qualification for the role was the fact that his dad once had the job. No one should be surprised by the situation Canada finds itself in today.

We’re asking the wealthiest few to pay a little more in capital gains taxes. So we can build a national dental care program. So we can make contraceptives and insulin free for anyone who needs them. So we can make the largest investment in housing that Canada’s ever seen.

🇨🇦Trudeau just appointed 2 more senators. That’s 82 of the total 105 or almost 80% control. They are supposed to be independent but they are all hard core left wing. The senate controls the ability to pass any bill from House. Do you understand?🤦🏻‍♂️
