This is too little to late, but it is a positive development. Don't get me wrong, Bills C-48, C-69, C-88, M-103 and the carbon cash grab are attacks on the people who put his privileged, elitist ass in office. And I know he is doing this to win votes back in Quebec and votes he has been losing in recent polls to the Conservatives.

The changes would prevent asylum seekers from making refugee claims in Canada if they have made similar claims in certain other countries, including the United States — a move Border Security Minister Bill Blair says is aimed at preventing "asylum-shopping."
Lawyers and advocates who work with refugees are sounding the alarm about the legal changes, saying they would strip human-rights protections from vulnerable asylum-seekers.
Trudeau says Canada has been seeing larger numbers of refugee claims because of global instability.
He says his priority is to ensure Canadians retain confidence in the country's asylum system, which means every person who comes to Canada must do so according to the law.
More than 41,000 asylum seekers have crossed into Canada "irregularly" through unofficial paths along the Canada-U.S. border since early 2017.

And as usual "lawyers and advocates" scream and yell at the injustice of it all.

It's a gift to Quebec voters. JT is really the pm of Quebec only. If Quebec needed pipelines, they would have had several of them years ago.
I could be wrong, but I would suspect if he wins, Trudeau will reverse this.

A lot of Albertans know that, which is why some Albertans support independence.

He might not have a choice. The provinces are paying the bills for illegal border crossers and the provinces are broke.
