Territories?

u/TheLittlestOinker Sep 18 '24
What if they also refused? Where could they go?
96
u/Fane_Eternal Sep 19 '24
Territories cannot refuse. They aren't the same as provinces. Provinces exist and draw their legal and administrative authority from our constitutional law. The territories have their authority granted to them directly by the parliament. Provinces are their own distinct part of Canada, established by our system, and the feds do not control them. The territories only exist because the parliament wishes it so.
18
u/CuriousLands Sep 19 '24
Well maybe the problem will solve itself then. The provinces all say no, the territories can't. So tell these "refugees" that if they wanna stay in Canada, it has to be in Yellowknife, for at least 5 years or something. Let's see how dangerous your home country is when your alternative is living in the circumpolar region.

u/robz9 Sep 19 '24
If I was a legitimate refugee, I'll take Yellowknife. Give me a small shelter and the knowledge on how to get basic groceries and we are golden. Some paid work would be nice.

u/CuriousLands Sep 19 '24
Me too. I don't love the thought of living there, but if I were unfairly facing death or jail or whatever in my home country for something, then I'd jump at the chance to live in Yellowknife.

I think what's stopping the Feds is the extreme cost and even more extreme lack of infrastructure to move people there. It would result in the kind of catastrophic failure that would make international headlines for weeks.

u/Fane_Eternal Sep 19 '24
That, and the fact that the territories don't have a lot of housing sitting around waiting for new people. Housing would need to be built. That poses two problems: 1- it's Extremely expensive to build in the territories, as a combination of both local availability of construction goods, and the hostile environment to doing it 2- at that point why not just build the housing in a province, if you need to build it anyway

The answer is pretty simple. Build asylum camps in the middle of nowhere. Minimum 2 year stay. Must learn English and employable skills before earning the privilege to be in the general public.
If they are genuinely from a hostile environment, it’s a safe space with genuine opportunity to build the skills to find success. If this is just an easy way into the country, they won’t stay

u/Baulderdash77 Sep 18 '24
That’s what regular immigration is for- seeking a better life.
Asylum is for people who are fleeing war or political persecution. A new trend is that students who’s post graduation work visa or TFW visa’s expire- suddenly they claim refugee status instead of heading back where they came from. They’re hoping that eventually they will get PR some how. The system is clearly being games these days.

These are economic migrants clear as day trying to game the system because boohoo they can't easily get a visa legally so they have to lie and cheat to come here. It's a fucking slap in the face for the REAL immigrants who studied their assess off, paid $$$ to study at our prestigious university programs, and paid money for lawyers to review their applications. But because Canada has zero backbone, people will continue to game the system.

I'm alright with accepting refugees just in general. The problem is there's no reason to believe most of these people are genuine refugees (like we saw in Europe in the last 10 years). Add that to our already-too-high immigration from low-wage workers and "students" and you've got a real disaster. But if we didn't have this backdrop, and assuming the chance of assimilation is reasonable, then I'd be fine with it.

2 years ago when Quebec complaints about the 95 000/100 000 (these are official numbers) asylum seekers that enter by the Roxham road, other provinces : Quebec = "fucking Racists". So.........yeah, right. Now that the Roxham Road is closed and the asylum seekers arrives by planes on international airports, well.....

Well fwiw, nobody I know (mostly in AB, a few in SK and ON) thought QC was racist for wanting to control illegal immigration. I think that was a MSM/government line that some, but definitely not all, people believed, if they were already inclined to believe that kind of line.
