La Presse – Deux avions transportant diplomates, militaires et réfugiés arrivent au pays
Le ministère canadien de la Défense nationale a indiqué mardi qu’un avion transportant des diplomates et des « agents d’élite » était arrivé à Ottawa tard lundi soir dans le cadre de l’opération d’évacuation de tout le personnel canadien en Afghanistan. Un deuxième avion, transportant des Afghans qui avaient déjà aidé le Canada au cours de son implication de 20 ans dans le pays, ainsi que leur famille, est aussi arrivé à Toronto, a déclaré la porte-parole du ministère de la Défense, Jessica Lamirande, dans un courriel.
La Presse – Le Canada va accélérer l’évacuation et l’accueil des réfugiés
Le ministère de l’Immigration va accélérer le processus d’évacuation et d’accueil des familles d’interprètes et des autres personnes qui ont contribué à la mission canadienne en Afghanistan, a annoncé le ministre Marco Mendicino. Il a ajouté que le gouvernement n’allait pas exiger un passeport ou un test négatif à la COVID-19 des passagers afghans et qu’un pays tiers sécuritaire allait s’occuper de leur évaluation biométrique. Le plus grand obstacle demeure les points de contrôle des talibans que les Afghans doivent traverser pour atteindre l’aéroport de Kaboul, selon M. Mendicino.

CBC News – Once Captured by Taliban, Journalist Says Canada’s Resettlement Promise Is Doomed
Qais Azimy struggles to sleep, managing two or three hours at a time, watching the Taliban sweep over a country he once called home. “I’m worried about the people who are stuck in the country,” he said. “I know what’s gonna happen to them. I went through that a couple of times in life.” Azimy is no stranger to the Taliban, having come face-to-face with its fighters more than once. The Ottawa resident now wants to bring three families and 15 journalists to Canada, but he faces obstacles.
National Post – Canada Would Consider Accepting Afghan Refugees on Behalf of U.S., Allies -Minister
Canada would consider taking in additional Afghan refugees on behalf of the United States or other allies if asked to do so, Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said on Friday. “We should keep the door open to all possibilities,” Mendicino said in an interview. “If there were Afghans who had assisted coalition partners during the mission that also met the criteria for our humanitarian resettlement program, I think we should be prepared to consider such an arrangement,” the minister said.
Toronto Star – Are you a new Canadian? Here’s how the federal parties are fighting for your vote
When 33-year-old Lucas Cunha fills out his ballot for Canada’s 44th election, he won’t be doing so by mail. Cunha is set on going to his local polling station; as someone who became a Canadian citizen in early 2020, this is the first time he’ll be able to vote in the country he now calls home. Unlike many Canadians grumbling about heading back to the polls, the Mississauga resident, who arrived in Ontario from Brazil 10 years ago, is thrilled by the prospect. He wants to wait in line, duck behind a screen and mark an “X” beside his preferred candidate, just like everyone else.
