There is a viral pandemic. The Canada-U.S. border is closed!—Unless you cross illegally

03/25/2020

Why would the media not raise a ruckus about this situation? Why were there no headlines screaming "Dozens of Unvetted Migrants Illegally Cross at Roxham Road Each Day While Canada's Borders are Closed"? Perhaps the obvious answer is what's been called Trudeau's media bailout, the provision of $600 million to select media over five years, officially called tax credits and incentives. The Global Compact urges governments to "stop allocation of public funding" to media outlets that promote "intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination toward migrants..." And nothing says racist and xenophobe like someone who questions the Liberal government's immigration policies or its refusal to stop illegal entry into Canada at non-ports-of-entry like Roxham Road.
