00:00:00.766 --> 00:00:02.269
In October 2011

00:00:02.269 --> 00:00:06.155
6 federal bureaucrats were drafted to pose as "new canadians"

00:00:06.155 --> 00:00:08.442
for a citizen reaffirmation ceremony

00:00:08.442 --> 00:00:10.693
broadcast on the Sun News Network.

00:00:10.693 --> 00:00:15.534
an event requested by immigration minister Jason Kenney's office.

00:00:15.534 --> 00:00:18.151
The bureaucrats smiled and held canadian flags

00:00:18.151 --> 00:00:21.922
as a tv host referred to a group of 10 people as "new canadians"

00:00:21.922 --> 00:00:25.336
that had finally received their citizenship.

00:00:25.336 --> 00:00:29.931
In reality, only 3 new immigrants showed up at sun tv.

00:00:29.931 --> 00:00:31.092
This group of immigrants say

00:00:31.092 --> 00:00:34.870
not only is this propaganda from a pseudo state broadcaster,

00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:39.907
but Jason "I Blame the Civil Servants" Kenney's "generous and inclusive immigration policies"

00:00:39.907 --> 00:00:42.009
are also a charade.

00:00:42.009 --> 00:00:43.919
After seeing this, we asked ourselves

00:00:47.648 --> 00:00:49.575
As we couldn't find any real bureaucrats,

00:00:49.575 --> 00:00:51.201
we asked some new immigrants

00:00:51.201 --> 00:00:53.608
and whoever was around at the studio to just fake it.

00:00:54.497 --> 00:00:56.056

[narrator] Canadian immigration policies

00:01:41.309 --> 00:01:43.446
are slamming the door shut on immigrants,

00:01:43.446 --> 00:01:44.792
jailing refugees,

00:01:44.792 --> 00:01:47.407
pushing people into dangerous temporary jobs,

00:01:47.407 --> 00:01:48.878
forcing families apart,

00:01:48.878 --> 00:01:51.011
and keeping people of colour poor.

00:02:02.392 --> 00:02:03.624
We demand status for all.

00:02:03.624 --> 00:02:04.725
No one is illegal.
