Le Soleil – Suprémacisme blanc : le Canada très actif dans le monde pour dénoncer la « menace »

A jubilant Ruqia Wehliye was at the Saint John Airport surrounded by family for the first time since she fled Mogadishu, alone and scared, in 2009. “One person gets 10 people? God is great!” the Somali refugee said after she first laid eyes on her nephew, his wife and their eight children, ranging in age from 20 to a toddler.

Aljazeera – Advocates Decry Proposed Change to Canada’s Asylum System
The Canadian government introduced an amendment to the country’s Immigration and Refugee Act that would prevent people who previously made an asylum claim in other specific countries from having a full refugee status determination hearing in Canada. Sharry Aiken, a law professor at Queen’s University in Ontario, said the change may end up “precluding people who are genuine refugees from having a hearing on the merits of their case”. “It’s just a bedrock principle of Canadian refugee law that claimants are entitled to an oral hearing.”
