Figures for asylum claimants across Canada this year is projected to be 36,616. And- how is this possible? It was 36920 in 2008 when the Harper Government was in power and that was  before the complications of the Trump administration.

It was higher in other years as well but 3 of the highest years were during the Harper government when the very Conservative MPs now running around with their hair on fire were calling the shots.
Rank hypocrisy?     Looks like it.
