A Television Journalist Destroyed Canada’s Immigration Minister Over Syrian Refugees
Put away your talking points, folks. Rosemary Barton is not having it.
He cited a United Nations report thathalf of all Syrians have been displacedas a result of ongoing conflicts catalyzed by Islamist militants.
“We are continuing to act, to be at the forefront of humanitarian response…” he said before being cut off.
“Mr. Alexander, you’re actually countering your own point,” said Barton. “If this is true, if this has been going on for years, why did government not act faster now?”
Alexander then tried to shift the focus onto the CBC.
“I’m actually interested in why this is the first Power & Politics panel we’ve had on this,” said Alexander.
The claim that was quickly shot down by Barton as “completely false,” adding that as a minister he was not allowed to appear on the network’s panel discussions.
“If you want to avoid the question, let’s just be clear that that’s what’s happening,” Barton said.
