22,000 Asylum Seekers Land in BC with No Federal Support—Rustad Demands Action While Eby Silence is Deafening
John Rustad Fights for BC as Trudeau’s Refugee Policies Strain a Province Already on the Brink
So, here we go again. Justin Trudeau, in his endless quest to seem virtuous to the world, is unloading 22,000 asylum seekers onto British Columbia, without a penny of support from the federal government. And the timing? Perfectly catastrophic. BC is already suffering under an unprecedented housing crisis, with its healthcare system buckling, and now Trudeau decides to dump thousands more people into an already overwhelmed province. Yet, what does Premier David Eby do? Nothing. He stands by, silent and compliant, ready to give Trudeau whatever he wants, without batting an eyelash.
Meanwhile John Rustad is standing up to Justin Trudeau in a way that we haven’t seen from any other BC politician. While Trudeau hands $750 million to Quebec to help manage their immigrant surge, BC is expected to get nothing for taking in these refugees. That's right—zero federal dollars. The BC Conservative leader called it exactly what it is: a betrayal. British Columbia is being forced to shoulder the costs of Trudeau’s misguided refugee policy while BC residents are already struggling under skyrocketing rent, unaffordable home prices, and a healthcare system that’s falling apart. Eby’s reaction? Not even a murmur of dissent—just blind obedience. Trudeau rolls in with 22,000 refugees, and Eby acts like the concierge, opening the door and offering a hand.
And let’s be clear: Trudeau’s not offering BC a single dime of financial support. He doesn’t care what this will do to the province. He gets his virtue points on the global stage, and BC gets stuck with the bill. But here’s the kicker—he’d never pull this stunt in Quebec. Why? Because Trudeau knows he can’t afford to lose favor in Quebec, a province that demanded—and got—$750 million to deal with its immigration pressures. Meanwhile, BC gets nothing.
Why does Trudeau do this to BC? Because he has nothing but disdain for the West. He’s made it clear time and time again. Quebec gets treated with kid gloves while the West gets dumped on, all for the sake of Trudeau’s political agenda. It’s disgusting.
And that bill? Well, it’s hefty. BC’s deficit has hit an all-time high of $7.9 billion. The province can barely afford to keep its own services running, and now it’s expected to find healthcare, housing, and education for tens of thousands of new arrivals without federal backing. That’s not just reckless—it’s insulting. Eby should be standing up to Trudeau, demanding funding, but instead, he’s content to play along like Trudeau’s most loyal servant.
BC is already vulnerable to organized crime, and dumping 22,000 vulnerable asylum seekers into this environment without support is a recipe for disaster. Refugees, desperate for help, are going to be prime targets for the gangs and syndicates that already operate in BC. Trudeau won’t face the consequences of this dangerous oversight—but BC will. And what’s Eby’s plan to stop it? Spoiler: he doesn’t have one. He’s too busy protecting his relationship with Ottawa to notice that his province is sinking under Trudeau’s policies.
Let’s not pretend this is about compassion from the federal government. Trudeau is dumping this problem on BC’s doorstep without a second thought for the consequences. 22,000 asylum seekers, no resources, no infrastructure to support them, and a province that’s already at a financial breaking point. Rustad’s outrage is entirely justified.
If Eby had any spine, he’d demand the federal government step up with the financial support BC needs. But he’s too busy making sure Trudeau stays happy to actually lead. Rustad, on the other hand, is one of the few politicians willing to call out this nonsense for what it is—a cynical political move by a Prime Minister who couldn’t care less about the people who will be hurt by it.
BC is drowning under Trudeau’s asylum seeker policy, and Eby is watching it happen. The people of BC are paying the price for a government that refuses to stand up for them. As Rustad put it, it’s time for Trudeau to either provide the funding BC needs or stop treating the province as his dumping ground.
And don’t kid yourself—this will absolutely have devastating consequences for BC families. Our healthcare system is already gasping for air, and now it’ll be crushed under even more pressure. Subsidized housing? Good luck. With tens of thousands more people flooding the system, BC residents already struggling to keep a roof over their heads are going to be shoved aside. Food banks are already seeing record demand, and now you’ll have even more people lining up, desperate for basic necessities.
Meanwhile, David Eby sits there doing nothing, nodding along with whatever Justin Trudeau decides, letting his own province get steamrolled. He’s not leading—he’s following orders. BC deserves better.
This is the time for real leadership. With an election looming, the people of BC need to ask themselves—do we want a premier who fights for us, or one who bends over for Trudeau every chance he gets?
The choice is clear. It’s time to take our province back.
Dan,
Why are you being so polite calling this "Trudeau's immigration policy". This is nothing more than the Cloward Piven strategy at work here. Flood the country with illegals, collapse the social network, increase the national debt to unsustainable levels then march in authoritarian controls. We have all seen the movie by now?
To say that John Rustad is standing up to Trudeau is a falsehood. If any politician had the courage, they would actually expose what is going on in an attempt to stop sending tax dollars to Ottawa. BC as a province have the power to do all of this but they are all part of the same program. They are all bribed, coerced, threatened to take any action and therefore, it all carries on under the guise of keeping the lie alive as they flood the county with illegals in the ongoing attempt to collapse the system in Canada. If enough people don't call if what it is, we will become a failed state, which we are well on the road to achieving.
