Conservative Government and Canada

Canada: The Conservatives argued at the time that many of the refugee applications were bogus, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Mexican ambassador to Canada said in 2013 his country was really mad because Canada made it difficult for tourists and businesspeople to travel north. The subject has been a sore point between the two countries since the Conservative government imposed the visa in 2009 after a sharp increase in the numbers of Mexican asylum seekers. Trudeau said Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has soured Canada relationship with Mexico over the last decade and promised to do right by our continental neighbour. He dismissed the Conservative government claim that Mexico couldn’t be a source of refugees. He said since Canada and Mexico are both members of North American Free Trade Agreement, there shouldn’t be travel barriers for their citizens. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
