Iranian Canadians, legal experts, and security and intelligence sources say Canada has hundreds, maybe thousands, of potentially dangerous regime-connected officials on its soil.

    It’s really disheartening to read that people fleeing oppression and persecution in their home countries are welcomed in, only for us to in turn let their oppressors follow them here and continue to do the exact same thing. We can’t take our role as safe haven for refugees seriously without ensuring their safety here.

    And if we are really too busy with “Ukraine, Russia, and China” we should consider not offering asylum to people we can’t protect. A false sense of security is worse than no security, and it’s disingenuous of us to extend a hand only to withdraw it once they’re here.

      We also can’t be a good safe haven for refugees if we don’t build enough housing to support them when they get here.
