Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has launched a major attack on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over border security. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, Poilievre stated that Trudeau is fully responsible for the current situation.
Poilievre claimed that, under Trudeau, there were no illegal crossings prior to his tenure. He accused the Prime Minister of leaving the borders open, which led to a dramatic increase in asylum seekers — from 10,000 to 200,000. He further emphasized that it is now the provinces' responsibility to secure the borders.
Poilievre asserted that Trudeau has failed to fulfill one of his key duties, which is securing the border. As a result, provinces like Quebec and Alberta have been forced to take border security matters into their own hands.
Poilievre concluded by stating that Canada now needs a strong prime minister and that Trudeau should be removed from office.
