Justin Trudeau lost control of 'border' and 'immigration': Oppn Leader Poilievre slams Canadian PM

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticizes Justin Trudeau's nine-year leadership, citing soaring U.S. median income surpassing Canada by $22,000, high taxes, national debt doubling, and broken systems.
The article discusses Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre's criticism of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's handling of border and immigration policies. Poilievre accuses Trudeau of losing control over these critical areas, leading to what he describes as a "crisis" at the Canadian border. He specifically points to the influx of asylum seekers crossing into Canada from the U.S., particularly at unofficial border points like Roxham Road, which has become a symbol of the issue. Poilievre claims that Trudeau's policies have encouraged illegal border crossings and have not adequately addressed the housing and support needs of these migrants, thereby straining Canadian resources and infrastructure. This critique comes amidst broader political debates on immigration policy, border security, and national sovereignty in Canada.
