Group Launches Private Prosecution Against Trudeau over Illegal Border Crossings

A group of people in the Canadian French-speaking province of Quebec have initiated a private criminal prosecution against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over illegal border crossings.
Frédéric Bastien, president of Justice pour le Quebec, an activist group that aims to defend the rights of Quebecers, has alleged that Prime Minister Trudeau has, through his own words, encouraged illegal immigrants to cross into Canada along the border with the United States in southern Quebec.
Bastien claims that there is enough evidence to initiate a private criminal prosecution against Prime Minister Trudeau after illegals surged into Canada following the Prime Minister’s statements, the National Post newspaper reports.
Bastien, who serves as a professor at Dawson College in Montreal, cites statements made by Trudeau in 2017, when he wrote on Twitter: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.”
