An Afghan man living in hiding for months has been able to escape Afghanistan with his family and now awaits a flight to Canada. Reza Kateb had spent time working with the Canadian embassy to promote gender equality in Afghanistan and helped implement the Afghan elections, ultimately winning an award from Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan in 2016.
A major air hub, with visa-free access from more than 140 countries, Hong Kong is – despite the best efforts of its government – a magnet for people fleeing conflict, abuse and poverty. In fact, only 1 per cent of refugee claimants in Hong Kong are granted asylum – just 272 since 2009, according to government statistics. And recent changes to the law, including reducing the number of judges hearing cases and restricting which languages applicants can use, are poised to make applying for asylum even harder, advocates for refugees say, while further clogging up Hong Kong’s court system.
Jawed Ahmad Haqmal — a former interpreter for the Canadian Armed Forces — and his 11 relatives, including five children, were part of a large group that was evacuated by Ukrainian soldiers. Since landing in Kyiv on Aug. 28, they have been staying at a hotel paid for by the Globe and Mail, whose reporter Mark MacKinnon assisted the family’s dramatic escape hours after two deadly suicide attacks outside Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. The family from Kandahar now finds itself in limbo with no end in sight.

With the recent return to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan, Fadozai is among thousands of Afghans now living in North America reliving the horrors of their past. Nearly six million Afghans have been displaced from their homes during four decades of war, reports the United Nations Refugee Agency. And according to refugee settlement officers in Canada, recent images of Taliban violence in the media are bringing back terrifying memories to the approximately 100,000 Canadians of Afghan heritage.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met a family of newly settled Afghan refugees on Saturday, marking the start of the Thanksgiving weekend with what he said was an important reminder. Trudeau met Obaidullah Rahimi, who began working at the Canadian Embassy in Kabul in 2008 and was hired full-time last year, at an Ottawa home where volunteers prepared gift baskets to give to resettled Afghan families. “This is what Thanksgiving is all about, reflecting on how lucky we are,” Trudeau said.
Une quinzaine de travailleurs agricoles mexicains et guatémaltèques de la ferme maraîchère Les Entreprises Pitre, située dans les Hautes-Laurentides, ont plié bagage ces dernières semaines, avant la fin de leur contrat. Ils se disent « épuisés et déçus » de leurs conditions de travail. Environ 10 d’entre eux sont rentrés au bercail avec l’accord de l’employeur, et 6 autres sont partis sans laisser de traces, confirme Jonathan Pitre, copropriétaire de la ferme qui emploie 198 travailleurs étrangers temporaires cette année.
