In light of recent immigration policies in the U.S., 25 members of the Canadian Council of Churches – representing 85 per cent of Christians in the country – expressed concerns over the Safe Third Party Agreement following recent consultations.

Immigrants accounted for two-thirds of the increase and the so-called natural increase — the difference between births and deaths — accounted for the rest.

Groups that work with refugees in the city have been inundated with calls and texts over the past 24 hours, some from people calling for an end to the refugee program and others from refugees themselves apologizing on behalf of their community.
