Justin Trudeau is Condescending & Smug Just Like Obama <br />I watched this evening's 60 Minutes profile of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. <br /> <br />While Lara Logan did try, she was not immune from the younger Trudeau's charms. <br /> <br />But I was not so bothered by Logan as I was by Trudeau himself who came across as smug and condescending in a manner reminiscent of President Obama. Only he did so with a Canadian twist. <br /> <br />When Logan asked him about the possibility of a terrorist attack being committed by one of the 25,000 Syrian refugees Canada has accepted, Trudeau stated, "Ultimately, being open and respectful towards each other is much more powerful as a way to diffuse hatred and anger than, you know, layering on, you know, big walls and oppressive policies." <br /> <br />So were Canadians insufficiently open and respectful when a jihadist saw fit to murder a Canadian soldier guarding the National War Memorial before making way to Parliament Hill? <br /> <br />Were the people of Boston insufficiently open and respectful when one of the Boston Marathon bombers placed a knapsack of explosives next to an 8-year old boy? After all, Trudeau did say the Boston Marathon bombers felt "completely excluded". Pity the poor terrorists. <br /> <br />Here is what Trudeau had to say about Americans: <br /> <br /> You know, I had a conversation one time with an American parent of a friend of mine and she was a big supporter of a presidential candidate. And I pointed out that if that person was run-- if indeed this man was running to be-- as Americans like to say, the "most powerful man in the world," I just felt like it might be nice if they paid a little more attention to the world. <br /> <br />What he really means is that he wished America paid more attention to Canada or specifically paid more attention to him. Justin Trudeau is truly the Obama of the North. <br /> <br /> http://spectator.org/blog/65706/justin-trudeau-condescending-smug-just-obama <br /> <br />Liberals plan for huge influx of refugees, immigrant spouses at expense of skilled foreign workers <br /> <br />The Liberal government has cut the number of skilled foreign workers it will allow into Canada this year to make room for a huge influx of Syrian refugees, immigrant spouses and children. <br /> <br />Immigration Minister John McCallum says the reduction in economic immigrants is a “temporary pause” that will have minimal impact on Canada’s well-being and prosperity. But the move has nonetheless raised concerns from business groups about the Liberals’ long-term plans for immigration. <br /> <br />At the same time, the government could face a backlash from some ethnic communities for not letting more immigrant parents and grandparents into Canada to be reunited with their families. <br /> <br />McCallum announced the changes at an event in Brampton, Ont., on Tuesday, only a short distance from where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled his party’s immigration policy during last year’s federal election campaign. <br /> <br />McCallum touted the fact that Canada will be aiming for the first time in history to accept more than 300,000 immigrants in a single year. That represents an increase of 20,000 from 2015. <br /> <br />http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/liberal-government-is-planning-to-bring-in-a-record-of-more-than-305000-new-permanent-residents-in-2016
