If you are a Canadian wanting to help the asylum seekers in the States, consider pushing your representatives to suspend the safe third country act. The States are no longer safe, and our PM has refused to ‘play politics’ with the inhumane acts in America. Let’s remind him that his job is to ‘play politics’. Protest. Yell. Make noise. There’s a petition, or places you can donate to in order to support the fight that our neighbours to our South are fighting. We can make change. Demand it. Push for it. If you can’t donate, make noise, reblog, call your politicians, condemn these actions, and make sure that the people around you know that this isn’t okay. And in the words of Elie Wiesel:

When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy,national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because oftheir race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment –become the center of the universe.

TBH a lot of my friends have been saying stuff like “it would be no good to try to flee to Canada, they have an extradition treaty with the US.”

If you want to help us, it’s time to start playing hardball with our horrible government.
