That article is a year and a half old.

Canada’s minister of immigration, Ahmed Hussen, himself a former refugee who moved to the country from Somalia when he was 16, said Canada was proud to be a welcoming country but could not welcome everyone. Only about 8 percent of Haitian migrants had received asylum here since the summer, he said, while there is a backlog of about 40,700 cases, according to Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board.
“We don’t want people to illegally enter our border, and doing so is not a free ticket to Canada,” Mr. Hussen said in an interview. “We are saying, ‘You will be apprehended, screened, detained, fingerprinted, and if you can’t establish a genuine claim, you will be denied refugee protection and removed.’ ”

Do you think he can be persuaded to also take the refugees on the southern border? Instead of deporting them back to Mexico after a stint in a detention center; just pick them up at the board and bus them over into Canada. Then everyone can be happy.
The bus would be empty before they reached Canada.
People are not coming here to move to the great white north.
If we can keep them locked up in tents. I'm sure we can do something about them bus doors for a few hours
No.
You can't make them move to Canada.
Then we will have people in Canada trying to get back in the US.
We will need two walls.
