Canadians said no to Trump – so why is Mark Carney pushing a Maga-inspired border bill? | Erica Ifill
CAnad got a deception. We have avoided an explicit election of Trump, but we are still electing a prime minister who will define our policies with the United States. Despite all the rhetoric of Trump and celebrating the idea of that Canada He was independent and had no desire to be like the United States, as we are now going through Maga legislation.
The newly elected teams Mark Carney The government has submitted a boundary bill that grants law enforcement sweeping powers to obtain citizen data, and will correspond to Canada with refugee policies in the United States. The draft law C-2, or a strong border law, is presented as a boundary security bill. However, its arrival extends beyond the border requests to almost all legislation.
In agreement with the attack on migrant societies in the United States, this bill is hostile to migrants, especially anti -desire. The legislation changes the Immigration Protection and Refugee Protection Law to grant the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and citizenship broad powers to cancel immigration documents, suspend or cancel the income in any immigration flow if there is a large number of requests pending.
This does not simplify the immigration system; This is collective deportation by administrative means, rather than law enforcement. In addition, there is no appeal for these measures. A large number of refugees will not be granted a hearing because the legislation “suggests preventing claims from accessing the Immigration and Refugee Council,” he said. The Ontario Agencies Council that serves immigrants. the Immigrant Rights Network Changes are called a violation of the right to legal procedures, “including the abolition of permanent residence requests already submitted.”
Other elements of refugee policy, like the United States in the Canadian Border Border Bill, make the United States appear more welcoming. As explained By the Canadian Refugee Council, the draft law provides strict rules from the United States on the extent to which the refugee claim was narrated.
The changes will not affect women and girls, whose position is associated with migration to a large extent with their husbands and fathers, respectively; The users demanded, as most of the refugees who demand resort through alternative entry points are racist displayed; LGBTQ demands, who risk increasing attacks and discrimination in their countries of origin.
Another frightening half of the legislation raises privacy laws through privileged powers of law enforcement. The criminal law in Canada will be amended to include more access to data and other electronic information from citizens. The police were calming for legal access for years, allowing them to intercept, search and seize communication information. The strong border law will make it easy for the police to access subscriber information and descriptive data, and places responsibility for electronic service providers to amend their systems to the authorities to reach.
In other words, the police can collect subscribers information without a judicial order in “comfortable conditions” – the formulation that makes a broader allowance for these conditions without specifying them. This extends to a crime, The bill also stipulates“Was it committed or will be committed under this law or any other work of Parliament,” which amounts to any legislation issued by Parliament. What to do, specifically, with border security? It is from the back door access to protected data despite the privacy law, which governs privacy rights in any interaction with the federal government.
We are witnessing a monitoring country as Canada Post will be able to intercept and open the mail.
The Canadian Rights and Freedom Charter protects from illegal research and confiscation. However, under this new legislation, the police can obtain an order “based on a lower level of reasonable suspicion of a crime, instead of the possible cause.” Conversation reports. “This can also apply to foreign entities such as Google or Meta.In terms of normal conditions, Apple, Google or Meta will have to work as state agents.
The Carney Administration feeds on Trump’s illusions about the criminal gang cavity that escapes fentanel to the United States from Canada. The Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Promotion included provisions to combat organized crime across patriotism and illegal fentanel, which are the supposed crises that Trump used to justify his tax by 25 % on the goods from Canada. However, Canada only represents 0.2 % of fentanel The borders are seized. In 2024, of 9,929 kg sources by the American authorities, only 20 kg of Canada originated. In the treatment of Trump’s sports illusions, the Carney government has verified the American president’s exaggeration over the drug gangs attacking Americans from the north.
“Attached“It turned into staring for disbelief in the measures that were put forward by the liberal government in Carney. It is one of the most depth of political opposite on the Canadian public, which proves that while Carne enchant us in the foreground, he stripped our rights behind our backs.
