OTTAWA - Refugee advocacy groups are asking the federal immigration minister to make an exemption in the Safe Third Country Agreement for transgender refugee claimants in the United States to

Unfortunately, Pierre Poilievre just said in an interview that he doesn’t see anything wrong with Trump’s executive order because there are only two genders.

Yeah Mexico actually seems like the better more progressive neighbor these days.

If we get led down Trump’s path and elect PP, we’re fucked.

What a mess. :(

PP doesn’t get to decide that, does he?

I thought he didn’t care that much. Hmm…

Not if they can’t provide evidence of physical violence. Negative comments and mockery does not rise to the level of orders for being hunted for execution like some opposing political people or religious people had their families killed for not bowing to government system and surviving members had to flee country before they end up dead like their family.

Gauri Sreenivasan, co-executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, said the orders will harm transgender people who are seeking to make an asylum claim in the United States.

Under Trump’s policies for example, a transgender woman could be placed in a detention facility with male detainees.

That obviously puts trans asylum seekers at risk of violence.

If they break the law. So Transgender criminals. We don’t see yet people being put in jail for being transgender. If that is happening then yes we can revisit the question but it is not happening.

So harming criminals is okay, got it. Shall we reinstate the age-old tradition of cutting off thieves’ hands? And you haven’t even addressed the difference between being charged with a crime and being convicted, both of which can land you in jail.

Jail vs Prison.

That’s correct. You were the one talking about criminals in jail, which would be reserved for minor crimes/sentences or people awaiting trial (not that that precludes violence from other inmates). So which are you talking about?

(That was my first post on the thread. I was just making sure there was the clarification of the two locations and the innocent people would be in jail, where prison are for those convicted.)

Sorry, sorry. I didn’t read the username, but I still think the content of the post is worthwhile, if not the emotional tone, so I’ll leave it there.

What are you talking about? What I quoted was about transgender asylum seekers. Seeking asylum isn’t a crime.

Not if they can’t provide evidence of physical violence.

Maybe you’d feel more comfortable south of the 49th.

So you’ll wait until they get killed? Wholesome Keanu 100 🥰🥰☺️

Yeah and women have to be on their death bed to justify an abortion, and lots of people got Covid anyway so why bother with masks?

Oh and Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute it was a Roman salute.

Did I miss anything?
