YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOntario Premier Doug Ford has announced the issuance of provincial work permits for asylum seekers, citing delays in federal processing and rising provincial costs. Ford stated that nearly 100,000 asylum seekers are being housed in Ontario, straining resources including healthcare, education, and housing. His remarks particularly the phrase “sucking off the system” have drawn criticism amid Ontario’s 6.9% unemployment rate and a worsening housing crisis, with over 22% of residents spending more than 30% of their income on shelter. Critics argue the move prioritizes non-citizens while many Canadians face economic hardship and lack access to basic services. Ford also noted that the federal government has yet to reimburse Ontario for its expenditures related to housing and supporting asylum claimants.
