A well-known historian and head of a Quebec-based activist group is launching a private criminal prosecution against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who he says violated the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act by encouraging refugees to come to Canada, which has resulted in an increased inflow of illegal immigrants.
Frédéric Bastien, chair of Justice pour le Quebec, said past remarks made by the prime minister prompted many asylum seekers to illegally cross into Canada through the Roxham Road border point that connects Quebec and New York state.
