Trudeau holds town hall meeting in Winnipeg, faces questions about immigration
WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced questions on immigration, pipelines and Indigenous issues — and dealt with a few disruptions — during a town hall meeting with some 1,800 people at the University of Manitoba Wednesday night.
Trudeau was asked by some people whether he would boost the number of immigrants accepted into Canada every year.
Some people had personal questions, such as one woman who said a Nigerian friend was facing deportation and faced great danger if she returned to the African nation because she is a lesbian.
One questioner asked Trudeau whether he was concerned about the number of people crossing the border illegally and claiming refugee status.
