The investment fund manager and former head of the Bank of Canada, who won the Liberal leadership contest two weeks ago, became the subject of news stories focusing on how he has chosen Mark Wiseman, an advocate for open borders, as a key adviser.
Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman says “a lot of the screening” of immigrants is “a waste of time”.
