The premier is refusing to apologize for comments he made about immigrants earlier this week.
Doug Ford calls himself the more immigrant-friendly premier Ontario has ever had.
“I welcome everyone around the world, no matter where they come from,” Ford the Ontario Legislature on Wednesday.
“Come here…start a family…start a business and give back to the greatest jurisdiction anywhere in the world, and that’s Ontario.”
Ford says he has received a lot of support from the immigrant community.
“My phone has blown up all night, all day from immigrants telling me their story of how they’ve come here with absolutely nothing and they’ve started at low-level jobs and they worked up, they’ve started companies, they’ve started restaurants. That’s the type of Ontario we need.”
Ford said on Monday immigrants who want to collect the dole and sit around should go elsewhere.
