Abou Assali told his family’s immigration story during a workshop at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Charlottetown on Sunday. The Workshop, titled Share the Journey, was organized by the diocese of Charlottetown Council of Development and Peace. The purpose of the workshop was to educate people about the lives and circumstances of refugees and learn about the causes of forced migration, as well as what Islanders can do to make a positive difference in the lives of refugees.
For Sharmarke Dubow, a refugee from Somalia, the Victoria municipal elections over the weekend were a groundbreaking day — he cast a vote for the first time and was elected city councillor. He ran under a slate called Together Victoria, along with newly-elected councillors Laurel Collins, a UVic PhD student and lecturer and Sarah Potts who works at the inner-city community centre, Our Place Society. Dubow fled Somalia as a child and lived in Ethiopia and Cairo before coming to Canada. He gained Canadian citizenship last year.
Documents obtained by The Canadian Press under access-to-information law show Canada was concerned about the changes in U.S. immigration policy and conducted a review of its Safe Third Country agreement with the U.S. from January to March of 2017. Canada’s analyses of these U.S. policies were redacted from the documents. However, the overall conclusion reached by Canadian officials was that the United States “continues to meet the requirements for designation as a safe third country.”
Africa Slow Food, at Bronson and Gladstone avenues, is a co-op venture run primarily by Bridgette Kouptie. She opened the restaurant a year ago, she said, using recipes she came up with herself in a mix of African, Caribbean and Haitian styles. But she’s set to be deported to Belgium today, leaving her business partners unsure of how they’ll keep serving the signature dishes the restaurant’s become known for. After years of back and forth, her application and a subsequent appeal on humanitarian grounds were both denied, she said.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration moved to impose fixed time limits on student visas, making Canada an even more attractive destination for students from abroad. More than 500,000 international students are expected to study in Canada this year, in primary schools through to universities, more than four times as many as were here in 2000. Because of rule changes introduced by the government, 40 per cent of all economic-class immigrants accepted by the federal government are now international students who have graduated and who want to stay in Canada.
