BILL BLAIR: ANOTHER LIBERAL PROP

   G&M:  Critics have complained that the thousands coming into Canada at a makeshift crossing at Roxham Road in Lacolle, Que., represent chaos. But on Tuesday Mr. Blair told the Commons immigration committee he’d just been there and everything is proceeding in an orderly fashion.
  “What I observed is the exact opposite of chaos,” Mr. Blair told the committee. “It was exceptionally orderly and well-planned.”
  Mr. Blair’s job is to take security issues that make folks worry and tell us, in his cop-like way, that the authorities have it under control. He’s the Minister of Law and Orderly.

   For more than a year now, Mr. Trudeau’s government has argued that it is making efforts to discourage potential asylum-seekers by warning that Roxham Road is not a “free ticket” to Canada. Recently, they have touted the fact that the numbers have declined since Easter. But they’re not expecting this issue to go away. Mr. Blair’s appointment is proof of that. His job isn’t to make the problem go away; it’s to tell Canadians it’s under control.
