CBC News – Angela Merkel Defends UN Migration Pact, Rejects ‘Nationalism in its Purest Form’
The UN pact, to regulate the treatment of migrants worldwide, was approved in July by all 193 member states except the United States and is to be signed in Morocco next month. But Australia on Wednesday said it would not sign up to the pact, joining nations including Israel, Hungary and Austria who have said it would compromise immigration policy. In an appeal to embrace a multilateral approach to the migrant issue, Merkel made a thinly veiled attack on U.S. President Donald Trump and her far-right opponents at home.
Le Soleil – « Migrants : les militaires américains pourront intervenir, armés de matraques »
Les militaires américains déployés le long de la frontière mexicaine à l’approche d’une colonne de migrants, pourront intervenir en cas de violences, mais ne seront armés que de matraques, a indiqué mercredi à Washington le ministre américain de la Défense Jim Mattis.
Le Devoir – « Un juge se porte à la défense du droit d’asile »
La politique migratoire de Donald Trump a subi un nouveau revers judiciaire avec le gel d’une mesure restreignant le droit d’asile, alors que des milliers de migrants d’Amérique centrale se massent à la frontière sud des États-Unis. Un juge californien a bloqué temporairement un décret signé le 9 novembre par le président américain qui prévoyait de rejeter automatiquement les demandes d’asile déposées par des personnes ayant traversé illégalement la frontière.
CBC News – Worst May Be Yet to Come for Cannabis Execs, Pot Users Looking to Cross Canada-U.S. Border, Experts Say
Henry Chang, a Toronto-based immigration lawyer, says he’s bracing for a spike in cases of people who end up being banned outright from entering the U.S. for owning up to using pot. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have made it clear that anyone who admits to using marijuana prior to Oct. 17, the day it became legal in Canada, could be banned from entering the country. And Chang says U.S. law can still keep out anyone deemed to be a drug abuser or addict.
Globe and Mail – Quebec to Get $50-Million Boost in Immigration Funding Even if it Reduces Numbers
Quebec Premier François Legault has promised to reduce immigration to Quebec in 2019 by 20 per cent, down to 40,000 people. Still, federal transfers for immigration “can never go down.” Under the Canada-Quebec immigration deal signed in 1991, federal funding to Quebec is not linked to the number of immigrants that come to the province every year. Instead, the money goes up in line with the overall increase in the federal budget and the rise in the arrival of non-francophone immigrants in Quebec.
National Post – Judge Gave Excessively Light Sentence to Avert Deportation of Refugee Who Threatened to Kill Police: Appeal Court
The Manitoba Court of Appeal has ruled a judge gave an excessively light sentence to a 23-year-old Somalian refugee to prevent him from being deported, after the man rammed his car into a police vehicle and threatened to kill the officers who arrested him. The court ruling Oct. 31 increased Mustaf Ahmed Yare’s sentence to more than 13 months, from five months and 25 days. In their decision, the judges found the longer sentence “may result in his deportation.”
