Minute Meeting: Toronto and Ford

minute meeting: Ontario Premier Doug Ford, right, sits with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on July 5, 2018, according to Toronto Star. Hours earlier, Ford's government said it was ending federal-provincial agreement on asylum seekers. But Trudeau emerged from a 40-minute meeting with Ford at Queen's Park suggesting the rookie premier does not understand the complexities behind the migrant crisis currently straining Toronto shelter resources. Rene Johnston / Toronto Star It didn't seem to me that the premier was quite as aware of our international obligations to the UN Convention on Refugees as he might have been, the prime minister told reporters Thursday, after the leaders' first official meeting. I reassured the premier or I attempted to reassure the premier that the asylum-seeker stream is separate from the immigration stream, he said. So I spent a little time explaining how the asylum-seeking system works and how our system is supposed to operate, said Trudeau. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
