Maybe there is no room at the inn. But you never know who you have turned away.

Dreaming of a world with peace, safety, and welcome for all.

It's an important time to remind our MPs that Canadians value refugee policies rooted in dignity. Here is another photo from the Lobby Day organized by the Canadian Council for Refugees - this time with the Honourable Arif Virani, MP for Parkdale High Park. #refugeeswelcome #cdnimm #cdnpoli

For folks in #Toronto, reach out to your councilor and urge them to adopt the Ombudsman recommendations related to the Investigation into the City’s Decision to Stop Allowing Refugee Claimants into Base Shelter System Beds.

Vote scheduled for December 17.

Image of excerpts from news article: The Globe and Mail Immigration department received intelligence about huge rise in clandestine US-Canada border crossings last year […] The CBSA briefing says that since the border crossing at Roxham Road in Quebec was closed in 2023, stopping people immediately claiming asylum with a change to the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S., there has been a big increase in people clandestinely crossing the border into Canada. “Clandestine entry into Canada has grown exponentially since the implementation of the Additional Protocol (AP) to the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA),” says the report entitled “Illicit Between the Ports (BTP) movements: April to September 2023.” […] The CBSA intelligence report sheds light on how foreign nationals from particular countries are crossing the border clandestinely from the U.S. into Canada. It says “human smuggling services are extensive for clandestine entries” and that payments “for end to end services” range from $3,200 to $45,000. People crossing illegally use smuggling networks which vary in sophistication, it says, and the migrants using them are placed in vulnerable situations and often exploited. The routes used to smuggle people are “often very dangerous” and can result in “bodily harm and or death.”

Oh, look: The thing that Canadian immigration law experts said would happen, happened

Closing safe routes for asylum seekers doesn't reduce the number of asylum seekers. It increases irregular movement, enriches smugglers & puts lives at risk
