Okay. I am totally for helping people in need, but as a Canadian, child of immigrants who had to flee for a better life, a father who ran from war, and with many other friends who are immigrants and children of immigrants, this is an UNFAIR position for JT to take that insults every person who applied to this nation legally and had to undergo the lengthy stressful process of becoming a Canadian citizen.

I know people who had to do things the old way, and were ALSO fleeing war and genocide. What does a position of "free migration" say to them now? how the heck is our tax system supposed to give the same offers of health care and welfare to these people when we have no cap of numbers due to FREEEEE migration??

A one world order would be great if we all had the same values and the same culture. But we dont. We cant even agree on shit in our own country, let alone dissolving borders completely.

Am I all for communitarianism? Sure. Do i like empathy-wishy-washy stuff? its crack cocaine to me. But there is a difference between moving people forward through consensual agreed desire to become bigger more cohesive communities and just sticking a bunch of people together and praying it all works out. These things take time, centuries, to meld cultures and to form new identities, not decades, and honestly this is just plain unethical for a government to just sign this off because they are a "majority".

Sure. It's not legally binding. But now the governments gonna do LEGAL things to meet this pact.

Like I said, all for immigration and refugees, when done with care for the current system. Not just ideological hogwash that only works in fiction novels.
