"answer": "Canada will welcome nearly one million immigrants over the next three years, according to the multi-year strategy tabled by the Liberal government today in what it calls \"the most ambitious immigration levels in recent history. The number of economic migrants, family reunifications and refugees will climb to 310,000 in 2018, up from 300,000 this year. That number will rise to 330,000 in 2019 then 340,000 in 2020. The targets for economic migrants, refugees and family members was tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday afternoon. Hussen said the new targets will bring Canada's immigration to nearly one per cent of the population by 2020, which will help offset an aging demographic. He called it a historic and responsible plan and \"the most ambitious\" in recent history. \"Our government believes that newcomers play a vital role in our society,\" Hussen said. \"Five million Canadians are set to retire by 2035 and we have fewer people working to support seniors and retirees.\"",

"answer": "November 1, 2017 – Ottawa plans to welcome 980,000 new immigrants over the next three years under an ambitious three-year immigration plan announced by the federal government on Nov. 1. Annual immigration levels could rise to as high as 360,000 by 2020 under the multi-year plan. This would be first time in more than a century that our immigration rate is 1% of our population.\n\nImmigration Minister Ahmed Hussen described the announcement as ‘historic’, as the government outlines its plan for the next three years, featuring managed increases across all categories.\n\nIn 2018, the immigration target will rise to 310,000, from the current 300,000 set for 2017. This target could rise to as much as 330,000 under the latest announcement. In 2019, the target will be 330,000, with an upper limit of 350,000 new immigrants. In 2020, the target figure will be 340,000, and the upper limit 360,000.\n\nThe latest plan will drive up immigration numbers to historic levels as the government pushes the annual number of newcomers towards 1 per cent of Canada’s population a target first used by the Liberals in the early 1990’s. The current levels of 300,000 correspond into an immigration rate near .82 per cent.",

Q1 is unanswerable - before what? I don't think the answer should include "no". He may have chosen not to include it in his memoirs, for example. The source is dated Feb 2020 but was updated in Jan 2021.
However, the evidence at Q&A2 indicates the claim may be false. The evidence could have been expanded upon, especially at Q&A1 where a couple more answers could have been given.

A U.S. federal judge released Benghazi evidence that puts former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in deep trouble.
|
Evidence finds that there was no deliberate mishandling by Hillary regarding her emails. A federal judge unabashedly accused career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to derail a series of lawsuits seeking information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Therefore, the claim is refuted.

US Senator Amy Klobuchar vows to resettle 500 percent more refugees, none in her neighbourhood.
|
The evidence is not clear on whether Amy Klobuchar intends to resettle "500" percent more refugees, although she will direct the State Department to restore the cap to at least its pre-Trump Administration level. It is also not clear what the cap was before Trump. Evidence also does not clarify where the refugees will be placed, though states and counties are required to notify the state department, in writing, whether they will consent to receive refugees from the department's reception and placement program. Hence, it feels like some information is still missing.

The claim is refuted, according to the QA pairs the labor force actually rose by 5.06 million during Obamas Presidency which is a statistic taken from the Labor department.

"answer": "Trump is being misleading with numbers to tarnish his predecessor’s record. It’s not clear what he means by “working-age.” But the total size of the U.S. labor force shows that the president is just wrong.During the eight years of Obama’s presidency, the labor force rose by 5.06 million, according to the Labor Department. The improvement reflected a rebounding economy from the Great Recession and population growth.\n\nAs the unemployment rate has fallen, more people are finding it attractive to work and joining the labor force. This has enabled the labor force to climb by an impressive 4.86 million in just three years under Trump.",

Traditionally, the Speaker says: ‘Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.’ (Tonight) Speaker Pelosi said, ‘Members of Congress, the President of the United States.’
|
From the Q&As it seems that this was said by Pelosi. So the claim is supported.

The EU did not help Britain during the Falklands War, and instead sent weapons to Argentina.
|
The 2nd Q&A pair points out that the EU had not formed at the time of the war shown in Q&A 1, and was called the EC, so the EU could not have interfered as stated in the claim.
Q&A 3 states that EC saw Argentina as the aggressor and placed import bans on them so this refutes the claim part that says they gave weapons to Argentina.

"answer": "Key facts\nPlague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria usually found in small mammals and their fleas.\nPeople infected with Y. pestis often develop symptoms after an incubation period of one to seven days.\nThere are two main clinical forms of plague infection: bubonic and pneumonic. Bubonic plague is the most common form and is characterized by painful swollen lymph nodes or 'buboes'.\nPlague is transmitted between animals and humans by the bite of infected fleas, direct contact with infected tissues, and inhalation of infected respiratory droplets.\nPlague can be a very severe disease in people, with a case-fatality ratio of 30% to 60% for the bubonic type, and is always fatal for the pneumonic kind when left untreated.\nAntibiotic treatment is effective against plague bacteria, so early diagnosis and early treatment can save lives.\nFrom 2010 to 2015 there were 3248 cases reported worldwide, including 584 deaths.\nCurrently, the three most endemic countries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Peru.\nPlague is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria, usually found in small mammals and their fleas. It is transmitted between animals through fleas. Humans can be infected through:\nthe bite of infected vector fleas\nunprotected contact with infectious bodily fluids or contaminated materials\nthe inhalation of respiratory droplets/small particles from a patient with pneumonic plague.",

The Delhi Police in India is being slammed for their apparent inaction when a man was shot at Jamia Millia Islamia University
|
Evidence shows that the Delhi Police did apprehend the man after they were made aware that he was carrying a weapon. Video evidence shows that at the 14th second, it can be seen that the police sneak up behind him and catch hold of him. Hence, the claim is refuted.

"answer": "Standard protocols dealing with an active shooter were followed. Several videos have surfaced which shows the Delhi Police did apprehend the man after they were made aware that he was carrying a weapon. While analyzing the video, at the 14th second, it can be seen that the police sneak up behind him and catches hold of him. The Police are being warned that the man is carrying a pistol. The video clearly shows that the man was seized as soon as he fired a shot. Further, police are mandated to follow standard protocols when dealing with an active shooter. In the face of a man holding a weapon at a crowded place like a university, it becomes all the more necessary to follow these protocols precisely. This would ensure that the situation doesn't get out of hand, and the shooter does not get agitated. Police officers responding to an active shooter are trained in a procedure known as Rapid Deployment and are supposed to proceed immediately to the area in which shots were last heard; their purpose is to stop the shooting as quickly as possible. The first responding officers will normally be in teams of four (4); they may be dressed in regular patrol uniforms, or they may be wearing external bulletproof vests, Kevlar helmets, and other tactical equipment. The officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns, or handguns, and might also be using pepper spray or tear gas to control the situation. There's nothing safe about a single officer running to confront a potential murderer or a terrorist",

CHUCK SCHUMER SAY ‘IT’S RACIST TO ONLY ALLOW CITIZENS TO VOTE’
|
Evidence does not show that Chuck Schumer said, "It’s racist to only allow citizens to vote." In the article on which the claim is based, Schumer describes the commission as an "effort to intimidate voters and purge them from the rolls through a national voter database of personal information" that disenfranchises minority voters. Hence, the quote in the claim is refuted.
