Conservative Government and Canada Relationship

: At the time, the Conservatives argued that many of the applications were bogus, according to Hamilton Spectator. In 2013, the Mexican ambassador said Mexico was "really mad" Canada was making it difficult for tourists and business people to travel north. The subject has been a sore point between the two countries since the Conservative government imposed the visa in 2009 to stem the flow of people fleeing drug-crime violence and economic difficulties in order to seek asylum in Canada. Trudeau, speaking at a metal-working company in Brampton, Ont., said Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has "soured" Canada relationship with Mexico over the last 10 years. He dismissed the Conservative government claim that Mexico couldn't be a source of refugees. "We need to ensure that Canada is a country that is accepting refugees who are fleeing persecution from all sorts of places around the world for all sorts of different reasons," Trudeau said. The Liberal leader promised to "do right by our continental neighbour." Since Canada and Mexico are both members of North American Free Trade Agreement, there shouldn't be barriers between the travel of their citizens, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
