Canadian Intelligence Eh! Episode 336 - Has Canada sacrificed national security on the altar of increased immigration?

How do we manage needed immigration with needed security?

As a country of immigrants by definition, most Canadians have a positive view on newcomers. I would imagine that the public believes that the proper checks are done to ensure - where possible - we are not importing threats to national security and public safety (criminals, terrorists, etc.). But when immigration under Justin Trudeau went off the scale these views began to change. What is worse, those entrusted with doing security checks were told to 'skip steps' to help get through the backlog (which was unsustainable). What serious country does it this way? Are things better with a new Prime Minister? I talk with a leading Canadian political commentator on these issues.
