Some thoughts on Canada's refugee protection system after the #STCA expansion mehlerpaperny.bsky.social Wa Lone @ShaunaLabman Loly Rico Craig Damian Smith Abdulla Daoud

Great initiative and happy to be included with amazing colleagues.

The expansion of the #STCA solves nothing. In fact, it creates a more inequitable refugee system by excluding marginalized individuals from protection in favour of those positioned to get visas. My thoughts in this story by Nicholas Keung 姜巧樂.

CARL's Maureen Silcoff: Expansion of the STCA excludes incredibly vulnerable individuals.

It's still possible to make this right. My comments in Nicholas Keung 姜巧樂's compelling story about a young Afghan man who lives in fear because an email error ended his refugee application.

My thoughts in this article by @masoodfarivar in Voice of America on why Indian migrants crossing from Canada into the U.S. may take extreme risks.
