Bowing to public pressure, Justin Trudeau has pledged that Canada will build a wall along its southern border with the the USA.
In remarks before the Canadian Parliament, Trudeau stated that with the fear of Trump brewing in the US, American citizens may start fleeing across the border into Canada.
“We cannot have hordes of Americans coming in illegally and taking Canadian jobs away” Trudeau said. “Even our one Baseball team has Americans taking good paying jobs that should rightfully be Canadian. And the US even had the nerve to steal our other baseball team and move it to the US Capital”
Trudeau went on to say that there was fear that the possible surge in people trying to get into Canada would bring about a significant rise in crime. “A lot of Americans have guns. Lots of guns and we do not want to see those violent sort of people coming into our country and bringing guns with them. The US could be sending us their worst like the neo-nazis, mass murders and wife beaters and rapists, The US considers them very fine people. We call them thugs and gang members”.
There was also concern that a lot of disease can be brought in by people fleeing to Canada who have lost their health care in the United States. “We have very affordable and good health care in Canada and our prescriptions are far more affordable than they are in the US. We cannot have people coming here just to get health care they cannot afford in the US”, explained the Prime Minister.
Trudeau was asked about Canadian policy concerning parents who try to seek asylum with their Children. “Well we will not separate the kids from their parents that is for sure. However we will see if any of these kids know how to ice-skate in which case we will definitely send them to Hockey camp”.
Of course many Canadians are concerned about where the money from the wall will come from. “Don’t worry about that. I have told Mr Trump that the US is going to pay for the wall” Trudeau said. “And we can always pay for part of it by posting ads for Molson Beer and other Canadian products on it. And don’t forget the huge tariffs we will be collecting on US Exports”
