Take Antony Vo. A Jan 6 offender who fled to Canada instead of serving his sentence, then tried to frame it as “political persecution.”
That’s my point. Not every claim is a person escaping real danger. Some are just people dodging consequences and trying to launder it through the refugee system.
And there are others just like him.

But we do have other lovely landscape.

Carolyn My camera shoots fascists Technically, there’s a big massive desert in Canada’s far north, but nobody lives there because it’s a cold desert.
Also, there’s the Okanagan Desert in British Columbia. It’s not very big, but it’s unique. Has a lot of flora and fauna that are threatened of endangered. I don’t think a whole lot of extraction will be happening there.
