'I accept my fate': No reprieve for deported Vancouver climate activist Zain Haq

Haq said he is disappointed, but accepted the decision, and said if there were any irregularities in the process, he holds no ill will

International students come to Canada from all over and find the freedom here to raise their voices for causes that are bigger than themselves. Causes, like #climateChange for which they might have no voice at all in their home countries.

But I guess Canada isn't about that anymore. If you're a trouble maker... even if it's Good Trouble, you're out.

This is not the Canada I grew up in.

#EmergencyRally today in #Montreal at 5pm outside Immigration Minister Marc Miller’s office, 3175 Rue Saint-Jacques, in support of #ZainHaq, set to be deported tonight to Pakistan for peaceful #ClimateActivism—a first in North America. Zain is married to Sophia, a Canadian citizen. Last April, Zain was granted a temporary residency permit while spousal sponsorship was reviewed. This week it was denied without explanation. With growing repression of protests, we must stand up to this injustice.
