Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission he smoked marijuana after becoming an MP – and the ensuing flurry of similar disclosures by other Canadian politicians – has a U.S. immigration lawyer shaking his head.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw him admit to it,” said Len Saunders.

The U.S. Department of Justice earlier revealed in a court filing…that it agrees with the philosophy of the German government that bureaucrats can punish homeschooling parents. The agency contends parental rights to keep children free from instruction that violates faith essentially are negligible when the government’s goal is an “open society.”
