That’s in addition to $551.6 million sent to provinces and municipalities since 2017 via the Interim Housing Assistance Program, which covers “extraordinary costs of interim housing for asylum seekers.”
“Maybe there is a middle ground between the hotel and the street. But what is the middle ground? Putting them up in community housing that’s already sorely lacking? I find that those who say Canada is ‘rolling out the red carpet’ for migrants are going too far,” she said. In June 2022, the federal government said it would begin redistributing asylum claimants from Roxham Road to various cities in Ontario to reduce the “pressure on publicly funded services and accommodation in Quebec.” Since the summer, migrants have been relocated to Ottawa, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Cornwall and a few other communities in Ontario.
IRCC said in February that it had signed a three-month contract with the new owners of another major hotel, the Ramada Inn, on Dec. 29, 2022, to host migrants from Roxham Road. The IRCC’s Lariviere declined to detail how much has been spent on any specific hotel contracts. “I get the impression that its extremely lucrative for certain people — like for the buses and taxis in Plattsburgh that travel to Roxham Road” Muzzi, the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle mayor, said, adding that she considers it a form of “human trafficking.”
Taxi driver Tom is one of a dozen Plattsburgh, N.Y., cab drivers who wait for migrants arriving from New York City at the Greyhound bus terminal to then drive them to Roxham Road, where they will cross the border illegally and make an asylum claim in Canada.Now in his sixties, Tom says he started doing runs from Plattsburgh to Roxham Road in 2006 as a side gig to his job doing custodial services for the city. But business has exploded in recent years.
Unbelievable
MinnieM96252794 Don’t we have a homeless crisis across the country? They sleep on the streets like animals. But I guess the Govt doesn’t care about they’re own citizens. How disgusting
again, NP choses the same white demographic in the lead photo to represent the illegal immigrants.This is misrepresentation.And it is racist.And it doesn't reflect the situation.Why? Show the demographic of the majority of illegals to be accurate, please.
As always.... Just follow the money
We need immigrants anyway , at least that we were told, who cares how they come? Officially you have to have p.hd to qualify. Why not to have simpler guys - now we are taking Canadians out of high schools to work in construction , lets have refugees to work instead.
Voter buying.
If they are real refugees then they are safe in the US and have no need to ILLEGALLY cross into Canada. Canada needs to shut the ILLEGAL border crossing down.
Worth every penny when they know who they have to vote for
Is Justin Trudeau paying for this ?
This country is so corrupt, from the top down
All because PMJT wanted to virtue signal on Orange Man's border policies:
DanAlbas I feel so sorry for Niagara Falls as tourist season is near. Niagara Falls has to make money at this time and it will definitely be impacted by Roxham Road. In U.K., the government lets them come in but then ships them back. Why cannot Canada do this too? Canadians have had it.
CanadaPoli2 Country shoppers. Roxham Rd is known worldwide with networks set up to aid those crossing illegally into Cda while Trudeau does absolutely nothing to stop it. 11,000 asylum claims in January alone. 7100 crossed illegally using Roxham Rd. 2023 will end up being a record yr.
All on the taxpayers dime
DanAlbas Boomin Liberal party business
Human trafficing
Apparently the illegals aren’t asking for more than we can give (unlike Canadian veterans who are).
