Paul Fromm to Challenge Jason Kenney in Calgary Southeast – “Immigration IS the Issue”
For Immediate Release
“Immigration is the issue,” says Western Block Party candidate Paul Fromm, “and the incumbent Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has done a lousy job.”
Fromm, 62, filed his nomination papers Friday and is challenging Mr. Kenney in Calgary Southeast, The publisher of the Canadian Immigration Hotline, Mr. Fromm is one of Canada’s best known immigration critics and lectures extensively across Canada, the U.S. and abroad.
“Poorly screened immigration is a huge drain on our economy costing us over $2-billion a year,” Mr. Fromm charges. “We’re coming out of the worst recession since the 1930s, and still the government imports over 260,000 people a year. We have official unemployment of 7.7 per cent. Any immigration at all, at this time, is immoral,” says Fromm, “and a slap at the unemployed.”
“We need a moratorium – a freeze – on immigration until we get Albertans, indeed all Canadians, back to work,” he urges.
Mr. Fromm also notes the more than 150,000 temporary immigration work visas issued yearly. “This is bad for Albertans and the thousands of our own unemployed tradesmen,” says Mr.. Fromm.
The present government has bought into a policy of mindless growth and massive immigration is part of this programme, Mr. Fromm charges. The bad effects can be seen in rush hour traffic gridlock in Toronto, Vsancouver and Calgary, he adds. “The average commute in Calgary is 67 minutes and getting worse. It’s wearing on our nerves and affecting our economy,” says Mr. Fromm. Calgary received a D ranking from the Board of Trade for its commuting gridlock.
“What’s the government’s answer? “ – More immigration!
Mr. Fromm wants to challenge Jason Kenney and the government’s record on immigration.
“We desperately need a public debate on immigration. Who comes to this country will shape our future. It’s time we had a say,” Mr. Fromm adds.
“The Western Block Party is strongly committed to citizen initiative referendum,” he explains.
The retired English lecturer also works as an Internet radio broadcaster.
