Canada welcomed nearly 300,000 #Ukrainians through the CUAET between 2022-2024, but what happens when temporary status expires? Adèle Garnier and Shauna Labman offer recommendations for supporting their transition and integration in communities across Canada.

In his campaign launch speech Poilievre blames violence and disorder on "open borders." Canada has never had open borders but even if you think it has brought in too many migrants (temporary and permanent) migrants are not linked to violence or crime.

Danielle Smith wants Alberta border patrol?
FACTS!
Along Montana border (with Alberta and Sask):
3 lb fentanyl last year, 1 lb meth.
Fewer than dozen individual (including migrants) "encounters" per month.
"urgent" provincial sheriff patrols, for this?

Why the ‘language of loopholes’ should be avoided if Trump cracks down on the Canada-U.S. border
Focus on supposed ‘loopholes’ that allow migrants to claim asylum echoes Canada’s longstanding preoccupation with how people negotiate the border.
