    While I sympathize with this woman’s situation, if they granted every person with a stalker asylum the entire system would be so overwhelmed it wouldn’t function.

    The article says she claimed the Colorado police wouldn’t help her, but that’s pretty typical, no? It doesn’t detail any of the threats against her but police don’t do anything until a restraining order is obtained. Instead of trying to do that or changing her name she runs to Canada and represents herself for her asylum case? Just a lot of weird things about this story IMO.

      I literally did try to get a restraining order. The RPD affirmed that fact. The RAD affirmed that fact. The Federal Court affirmed that fact. That’s not in dispute. I literally submitted both the refusal of the protection order and the copy of the filings to the RPD, along with police records and lots of other things.

      You’re talking about an article about a judgment concerning a case with a tribunal’s record over 22,000 pages long.
