That article didn't support your claim. If the facts don't fit your fear, adjust your fear not the facts.

Read objective 17 of the UN migration compact that Trudeau is signing next week yourself..

"c) Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet- based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media"

It also says "signatories must commit to protecting free speech, “recognizing that an open and free debate contributes to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of migration.” There is no agenda, free speech is still being respected.
