A large part of the current refugee problem in Canada is due to the Prime Minister of the country grandstanding on the international stage for anyone impacted by the U.S. immigrant crackdown that they are welcome in Canada. Then all of Canada basked in the glory of the articles contrasting Canada with America, the seat of all evil.
Evidently, the Haitians only heard the welcome part, believe all the Canadian myths and have no interest in listening to any other message because Treudeau said they are welcome. They may even think Canadians have an affinity toward them because 'everyone in Canada speaks French'.
How there could not be articles here holding Trudeau responsible for some of this is beyond me. It doesn't seem natural.
