Transcript

00:00:00.000 Lisa McLeod is engaged in fear-mongering and using this issue to demonize people.
00:00:06.280 The fact of the matter is the Toronto...
00:00:07.680 What evidence do you have for that?
00:00:08.740 Well, I'll tell you. The Toronto shelter system does not ask questions on the status of those who are seeking shelter in their system.
00:00:19.060 So her department is lying when they say that there are 46% of people there?
00:00:21.480 Well, how would Lisa McLeod know who's accessing the system if the temporary housing shelter system in Toronto does not collect stats based on status?
00:00:32.220 Wasn't John Tory also saying that, though, as well? Is he lying, too?
00:00:35.880 No, I'm saying that...
00:00:37.320 Toronto's claim as a sanctuary city is now being put to a very public test.
00:00:42.440 The city is now seeing unprecedented numbers of refugee claimants at its already stressed homeless shelters.
00:00:48.500 334 claimants showing up at Toronto shelters in the last three weeks alone.
00:00:54.740 Refugees now making up 40% of all users.
00:00:58.180 Explain what you mean by that.
00:00:59.700 What I mean by that is this issue...
00:01:01.980 Canadians expect all orders of government to work together when we have challenges.
00:01:06.320 Ontario, sadly, has chosen the language of fear and division.
00:01:10.880 They've chosen to intentionally use language that could potentially criminalize asylum seekers in the minds of Canadians.
00:01:20.720 It's irresponsible, it's divisive, it's fear-mongering, and it is not Canadian.
00:01:25.940 The difference between John Tory and Lisa McLeod is that Minister McLeod has called asylum seekers' names.
00:01:31.380 What has she called them?
00:01:33.140 She has called them... she has labeled all of them as economic immigrants.
00:01:40.880 They're saying, you know, critics are saying that your government's plan is not adequately working,
00:01:51.260 that this is not a sustainable way to manage this issue.
00:01:55.940 First of all, I would point those folks.
00:01:59.440 It's fair to have concerns about asylum seekers, but the fact of the matter is the numbers have gone down 75%.
00:02:06.800 So, if our plan was not working, why are the numbers down 75%?
00:02:10.800 Well, actually, the numbers are up this time over...
00:02:12.800 I'm talking about the numbers compared to last year.
00:02:16.800 Well, you're talking month to month. If you're talking year over year,
00:02:18.800 there's actually more asylum seekers that have crossed into Canada this year compared to this time last year.
00:02:22.800 We'll see you next timeoff.
00:02:23.520 Live Ero.
00:02:29.800 Anyway, sorry!
00:02:30.800 I'm уверen
