According to Reuters, Trump is preparing to remove legal status for 240000 Ukrainian immigrants, following which they will likely be deported back to a war zone.
The US continues her slide into global irrelevance, abandoning respect for democracy, the rule of law, and human rights.
It is the duty of the countries that continue to respect democracy and human rights, including Canada, to prevent these people from being forced back into a war torn country.
Edit Still getting the hang of this, created this post without the link to Reuters. Apologies, link added.
Why don’t the American people, as the largest people, simply eat trump, who is not all that large? I don’t understand
It is true what they say… Women are from Omicron Persei 7, men are from Omicron Persei 9.
Canada should simplify and expedite refugee claims from Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan, Myanmar.
Palestine
Then they’d need to admit Israel is doing something wrong.
FWIW, Carney, the likely next Liberal leader has expressed support for Palestine which is a step in the right direction.
https://bsky.app/profile/mark-carney.bsky.social/post/3lhhgk6y56k2bI’m concerned that outright condemnation of Israel’s genocide would make his chance of winning the Canadian Liberal leadership race and becoming PM much more difficult with the level of anti-semitic accusations that leaders who do so suddenly face. It’s such a toxic political climate right now…
Canada has admitted far, far more Ukranians than Palestinians when we should be urgently admitting both.
Does Canada have an AIPAC equivalent bankrolling fascists and genociders?
We should.
But crucially, we don’t actually have to, to let people in. We just quote the UN agencies citing the humanitarian catastrophe, and that’s it.
That logic works in principle, but we’ve already seen the test run of this in the UK.
The mother, father and their four children - who were aged seven, eight, 17 and 18 in September - were displaced after their home was destroyed by an airstrike in the Israel-Hamas war.
They applied for entry to the UK using the Ukraine Family Scheme to join the father’s brother, who has lived in the UK since 2007 and is a British citizen.
Their application was refused in May last year after the Home Office concluded the requirements of the scheme were not met.
The family of six, who have been granted anonymity, had an appeal against the decision dismissed by a first-tier immigration tribunal judge in September.
However they have been granted the right to live in the UK after upper tribunal judges allowed a further appeal, on the grounds of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights which protects the right to family life, following a hearing in January.
To save face Zionist governments have to at least try to deny the scale of the Israeli-caused humanitarian catastrophe. So as I said, I’m not hopeful.
UK is exceptionally difficult since the Balfour Declaration was their fault.
With us potential stop following the us due to trump we may finally admit it
Very good point. There is less overt pressure to align on USA foreign policy. However, we still face online propaganda campaigns when they disagree, including by USA-owned media outlets in Canada.
Unfair for other countries refugees but Ukrainian already in the US will contribute to Canadian economy way faster in a time where we need to invest/restructure our economy away from US dependence.
Illegal or legal doesn’t make a difference, eh?
Voters should be ashamed.
We are. Even though a lot of us didn’t vote for him, the shame remains.
That’s the problem. The people who put him back into power are still in his cult, so they have no shame. His voters will lose their jobs, homes, families, and they’d still clap at every lie coming out of his mouth.
We shouldn’t be experiencing second-person shame. They should be human enough to recognize that what he’s doing is shameful, and react.
Link?
Thanks!
Also, here’s a really awkward picture of two people in an “embrace.”
