I think I will be writing Prime Minister Carney again! Twice since he was elected! I will be recommending this Bill C-2 go out for full committee review with interested parties being invited to offer input and recommendations. The more of us that do that the more they will listen. My old Dad (RIP) used to say, “Politicians talk, but they only act when we talk!”.

I wonder if Carney is preparing Canada for dealing with a future US civil war.

Oh my God. When climate chaos demands mass climate refugee floods of populations this kind of potential authoritarian control is tantamount to inhumane. Why is Mark Carney moving fast in this direction? Is this part of deals he's making with the convicted felon south of the boarder? Please keep us informed Raquel.

The ability to cancel people's immigration status on some vague public interest grounds sounds like what MAGA would love. US courts are striking down what they are doing as people were denied due process. This won't pass Canadian courts either. So they better scale it back

Thank you for this. Upon hearing this and looking into it further, I have written to the Prime Minister. I have expressed my concerns and my wish that there be broad consultation and study before we open up a situation where people can be mass deported as they are currently in the US. Public Interest is not good enough. It must be restricted and spelled out. Do we need to have a robust Immigration policy and Act? Certainly I have no issue with that. I do have issue with this bill however. It seems to seek to get rid of those already here and contributing. What exactly is "Public Interest" anyway?!
