Conservatives want Trudeau to go to Manitoba border to see crossings first hand
EMERSON, Man. — Tensions flared in a Manitoba border community as two Conservative members of Parliament called on the prime minister to visit Emerson and get a first-hand look at the influx of refugee claimants coming in from the United States through fields and ditches.
Local MP Ted Falk and immigration critic Michelle Rempel reiterated an accusation Friday that the Trudeau government is being soft on migrants and the potential safety threat the pose.
The two were quickly challenged by resident Joyce Dayton.
Trudeau “has opened the gate. He’s welcoming people, like we (always) have in Canada,” Dayton said to Rempel.
