It sounds like Canada is freaking out about consular offices doing consular office stuff. Wtf is going on?

I have one of these in my area except it's for Vietnamese immigrants. And yep. It provides language classes, job help services, financial planning, childcare, housing services, help navigating the systems and services of my city, etc. Its completely normal and I know that it's one of the first stops for many immigrants and / or refugees as they get acquainted to a new place.

There's nothing secret about it. If anything it helps people assimilate into their neighborhood. Ridiculous that people think that somehow helping immigrants get comfortable with a new country is somehow a fucking evil plot.
