Chairman of the Canadian Nationalist Front Kevin Goudreau has submitted nomination for city council of Peterborough for October election

 I have submitted my nomination for city council member of Peterborough ward 3 town for municipal elections in October.

 

 

Current platform for city council issues as follows

*reversing ban on open burning and fire pits within city limits and working with the fire department to issue fire pit and burning permits for safe burning and the fire department agrees.

*reversing the new noise complaint laws back to normal hours instead of the 24 hours of calling police for no reason and the police agree.

*extra funding to hire more police officers to deal with the new crime wave that is through the roof and officers told me city council has consistently denied police funding for no reason.

*fixing Landsdown street and every street in Peterborough that council has consistently denied  Drain Brothers the contract for no reason for the past decade, could have all been done by now. I have repaired the front springs and tie rods on my truck due to bad roads damage and many have had same repairs done on brand new vehicles! 

*Getting rid of the bike lanes, get on the sidewalk like it was and get off the road and our of our way, traffic is bad enough in Peterborough.

*Everyone is fed up with all these unnecessary one way streets that make no sense, ask any cab driver or driver, most need to be made two way streets.

*bringing in some big Canadian businesses to create jobs at fair wages, with tax breaks and incentives with assurances of jobs and economic growth.

*getting rid of the safe injection site that enables drug addicts and makes the problems worst.

*by-laws for large fines for littering the streets, parks and sidewalks with needles when there are bins for them already.

*a ban on the 6 methadone clinics ( they should not be getting free drugs for 10 years that yes gets them high and overdose from it) 

*Fines for not picking up dog crap, people are sick of seeing it everywhere

*banning the sex offender halfway house that should not be here.

Will add to my platform as I talk to neighbours in my constituency and see what they want.

Closing Roxham Road border crossing will not stop arrival of asylum seekers: Trudeau

  

 Negotiations are ongoing with United States, Trudeau says

Closing an unofficial border crossing in southern Quebec will not slow the arrival of asylum seekers, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.

"If we close Roxham Road, people will cross elsewhere," he told reporters in Ottawa. "We have an enormous border, and we're not going to start arming or putting fences on it."

On Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault called for Trudeau to close the makeshift crossing south of Montreal, saying that the province doesn't have the capacity to care for migrants as they wait for their refugee claims to be processed.

Trudeau said intercepting irregular migrants at Roxham Road, where an RCMP post has been set up, allows Canadian authorities to conduct security verifications and to ensure that migrants are not "lost and illegal inside Canada."

Negotiations are ongoing with the United States, Trudeau said, to change the Safe Third Country Agreement, which has led to the irregular crossings.

Under that agreement, which has been in place since 2004, asylum seekers who enter the U.S. must claim refugee status there and can be turned back if they attempt to enter Canada through an official border crossing to make a refugee claim. However, asylum seekers who cross the border irregularly can make a refugee claim once they are in Canada.

Quebec asks feds to close Roxham Road, says province can't handle influx of refugees

 

The popular unofficial border crossing reopened in November, after being closed for much of the pandemic

Quebec is asking the federal government to close a popular, unofficial border crossing south of Montreal because the province can't handle the number of asylum seekers entering the country, but refugee advocates are rejecting Quebec's claims.

More than 100 refugee claimants are entering Quebec every day from the United States through a rural path called Roxham Road, Premier François Legault told reporters Wednesday.

"It's unacceptable," Legault said at the legislature. "It's impossible because we don't have the capacity."

The federal government takes 14 months to study an asylum claim and in the meantime, Quebec has to house and care for would-be refugees and school their children, the premier said.

"We cannot afford to give services," Legault said, adding that if the current pace continues, Quebec will not have adequate housing for 36,000 new arrivals.

Refugee advocates, however, say they don't accept the premier's claim.

"What is Quebec's capacity for compassion? For justice? It's maybe not unlimited, but the capacity is there," Paul Clarke, interim executive director of Action Réfugiés Montréal, said Wednesday in an interview.
