Canada's new asylum law leaves 2SLGBTQ+ claimants fearing deportation

"Joshua Eisen, in-house counsel at Toronto's FCJ Refugee Centre, is one of several experts who presented before Parliament, calling for exemptions. 'It's just so hypocritical that at a time where Canada has this self-image of championing this liberal global order … we're introducing this extremely draconian legislation,' Eisen said."

No CBC, this is Not Even Close to the 2nd Attempt at Lawful Access

The CBC has made the claim that this latest attempt at Lawful Access is the 2nd attempt. This is misleading.

Well. Senate debate on C-12 is over. The bill has now gone back to the House with two amendments- but to my sorrow, all our other amendments failed. Still, I’m proud of the two dozen or so senators from all parts of the Chamber who stood together to fight for justice for immigrants, refugees, international students and those on work visas. We made our arguments with passion, reason, evidence and courage. I hope courts will take note in the future. #C12 #BillC12 #cdnpoli #Canada #immigration

Senator Senior’s amendment to Bill C-12 passed - a nice surprise. I had less luck with the amendment I proposed tonight, to try to put some meaningful parliamentary oversight on the mass cancellations of visa and permanent residency cards. I thought my amendment was elegant. But it may have been too clever for its own good! https://youtu.be/AFPJWRPW9O4?si=toJ-9Thv51U0XiNG #C12 #BillC12 #immigration #cdnpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

Today, I was a guest on the Borderlines immigration law podcast, to talk about Bill C-12 and the role of the modern Senate in reviewing difficult legislation. With a conclusion that looks at Danielle Smith’s anti-immigrant discourse. https://youtu.be/sgaggc8uv_Q #BillC12 #C12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #ableg #Alberta #Canada

Next up - Bill C-12. Thursday night, I rose in the Senate to call out the so-called “reforms” to our immigration & refugee systems, which have been condemned by civil society groups across Canada. I was the only Senator to give a speech in opposition to the bill - perhaps because, as an Albertans, I have already witnessed the dangers of demonizing new Canadians and asylum seekers. https://youtu.be/U1QAtaBy-sM?si=np2nmi9xbGJs1Jdk #C12 #BillC12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #SenCa #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmith #immigration #ICE

Some Canadians are counting down the days till Christmas. Some are counting the nights till Hanukkah. But in the Senate, we're counting down the sitting days until we receive Bill C-4, which will, among many other things, exempt federal political parties from provincial privacy law. At QP today, I had questions. I think anyone who cares about privacy rights will want to listen. https://youtu.be/ZB501otrMwQ?si=jbJj626Pcd7P47U9 #BillC4 #C4 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #LCJC #privacy #BillC2 #BillC8 #BillC12 #privacy

"Bill C-12 solves none of Bill C-2’s problems – it is an exact copy of the provisions attacking refugees and migrants in Bill C-2 and is simply an attempt to fast track those aspects of Bill C-2. Both Bills need to be withdrawn."

Mark Carney's #BillC2 & #BillC12 "are an attack on all of us", targeting migrants, refugees, "and the privacy rights of everyone in Canada":

At some point Canadians still on #TeamCarney are going to have to recognize that we were all fooled into electing a Harper Conservative in disguise. There's no shame in being deceived, only in continuing to refuse to accept the increasingly obvious reality.

#Canada #CDNPoli #BillC2 #BillC12

As Carney moves to accumulate sweeping new powers with #BillC2 & #BillC12 -- Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says: "We cannot speculate as to how or when the Government may wish to use these powers"

#Canada #CDNPoli

The last time we saw anything like this was under Stephen Harper.

"Such broad cancellations have happened before. In 2012, the government wiped out immigration applications for hundreds of thousands of skilled workers, and in 2014 it cancelled backlogs in investor and entrepreneur programs."

#Canada #CDNPoli #BillC2 #BillC12

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada "says it's no mistake".

Vancouver immigration lawyer Steven Meurrens suspects the Carney government "is planning to cancel applications en masse" if #BillC2 & #BillC12 pass.

#CDNPoli

"Processing times for Canadian immigration applications have reached unprecedented lengths" -- 9, 19, 35, 50 years -- leaving refugees from Ukraine & Hong Kong "questioning if #Canada is moving away from its humanitarian principles"

"Bill C-12 does not fix Bill C-2; it fast tracks some of the most egregious aspects, while still moving forward with the rest"

"Canadians reject this multi-layered concession of our rights and freedoms to American pressure, and we expect lawmakers to resoundingly vote against both bills"

#Canada #CDNPoli #BillC2 #BillC12 #ElbowsUp

"The story of this legislative package is the same today as it was on day one of Bill C-2’s introduction; it’s about pleasing President Trump"

https://amnesty.ca/human-rights-news/joint-statement-bill-c-12-introduction/

#Canada #CDNPoli #BillC2 #BillC12 #ElbowsUp

So #BillC12 is not #BillC2’s replacement; it’s a fast track for part of it, while trying to delay the rest to pass when your attention is pulled elsewhere.

Don’t be fooled: write your MP and tell them to reject the whole rotten package, TODAY! 4/4

Last week, our government introduced #BillC12, new legislation before the House that drops the privacy violations of #BillC2.

Good news! But hold on– let’s look closely at the government's own press release before celebrating. 2/4
