Chris Selley: Birth tourism is up again. Nobody likes it, but who will stop it?

But even after the pandemic, it may never rise to the level of a political priority — and almost certainly not for the Liberals. Joe Peschisolido, the former Liberal MP from Richmond, is among those who have called for action, but the party as a whole seems more interested in demonizing anyone who shares that view as racist, misogynist or intent on rendering vast numbers of people stateless.

For precisely that reason, it’s the sort of issue that provides an interesting test for a new Conservative leader — especially Erin O’Toole, who seems far more comfortable in his own and his party’s skin than either of his predecessors.

It is early days yet, but O’Toole certainly has more potential to be that leader than either of his predecessors. And while birth tourism is unlikely to become a major issue any time in the near future, if ever, problems shouldn’t have to be massive for governments to want to solve them — especially relatively simple problems like this. It is so indefensible a practice that no one even tries to defend it, except against a catastrophized alternative.

Change so that at least one parent must be Canadian citizen or legal landed immigrant.

Not the Liberal government , that's for certain / Canada is becoming the doormat of the world

Charge more. Help make up the deficit. If they want their kids to be born in Canada, make our passport worth at least $750,000 Canadian, not including hospital and hotel fees and airline fees and everything else. Simple.

2,200 in a population of over 36,000,000. Meh.

Not Trudeau

Not Trudeau, that's for sure.

Canada is nothing but an international work camp, set up as a Ponzi scheme, masquerading as a country. We were sold out to globalists over 30 years ago.

Racial Dog whistles to take away EVERYONE’s birthrights. Nobody likes birth “tourism,” but it’s such a small percentage of all live births in Canada that it does not deserve its own massive bureaucracy checking every baby’s lineage for a Citizenship imprimatur

It’s mostly Chinese. WTH

But I thought the borders were closed....

Certainly not the liberals nor the ndp- Canadian passports and the resultant incoming of future family cheaters is right up their agenda.

The PPC.

'No one even tries to defend birth tourism.' yeah actually i do

How are we still allowing people into rhe country, potentially infected with COVID, to deliver babies? It beggars belief.
