🇨🇦 Canada finally checks visas and the lobby screams oppression

The latest scandal is that border officers dared verify the status of protesting international students in Calgary. Imagine that: a country checking whether temporary foreign residents are actually obeying the terms of their stay. The activist-lawyer industry is now sounding the alarm, as reported, because enforcement might create fear. Yes, fear of immigration law in a country that still pretends it has borders.

This is the Trudeau-era farce in one neat package. Ottawa imported hundreds of thousands through the student back door, let diploma mills and landlords cash in, and now acts shocked that temporary residents organize political pressure campaigns when the gravy train slows down. If you are here on a study permit, Canada owes you classroom access under the law, not a veto over enforcement, not a street-powered entitlement to permanent settlement, and not immunity from scrutiny. A sovereign country does not apologize for checking status. It apologizes when it stops being one.
