Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the federal government must do more to assist the province in responding to an increased number of refugees living in Toronto.
The premier was at a press conference on July 18 where he was asked how his government is helping refugees and asylum seekers who are sleeping on the streets in Toronto. Officials say the number of asylum seekers in Toronto’s shelter system has grown by 500 percent in 20 months and that the city has had to turn them away from at-capacity shelters.
