Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Next up - Bill C-12. Thursday night, I rose in the Senate to call out the so-called “reforms” to our immigration & refugee systems, which have been condemned by civil society groups across Canada. I was the only Senator to give a speech in opposition to the bill - perhaps because, as an Albertans, I have already witnessed the dangers of demonizing new Canadians and asylum seekers. https://youtu.be/U1QAtaBy-sM?si=np2nmi9xbGJs1Jdk #C12 #BillC12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #SenCa #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmith #immigration #ICE
Don’t undermine immigration policy by appeasing xenophobia: Senator Paula Simons critiques Bill C-12
I’m so sorry - I’m a bit behind on my Mastodon posting. Last week was crazy busy. So let me give you a recap of all the trouble I’ve been making in the Senate. First up - my exchange with Justice Minister Sean Fraser about Premier Danielle Smith’s threat to stop funding new superior court judges in Alberta. https://youtu.be/4qW6MudvW7M?si=mM_Sk-vk7xUl9THv #cdnpoli #abpoli #LCJC #Alberta #SenateOfCanada #DanielleSmith #SenCa #ableg
Justice Min. Sean Fraser responds to Danielle Smith's threats to withhold funding for judges.
Alberta Unbound fans can also stream my conversation with Thomas Lukaszuk directly from my Senate webpage. We talk about his love for the country that offered his refugee family asylum, the dangers of anti immigrant agitprop, and why he believes - with wild optimism - that his petition can succeed. https://senatorpaulasimons.ca/en/media/alberta-unbound/ #SenateofCanada #SenCa #ElbowsUp
In the second part of my interview with @MarkhamHislop , we turned to the issue of Alberta separatism and what Wexit rhetoric might mean for Alberta’s economy, and for the future of Canada. I got a little hot under the collar, you might say! https://youtu.be/CAzKWaqUQro #Wexit #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #ClimateChange #SenCa

GLBI offers a path forward - ensuring dignity, security, and real
opportunity for all. It's time Canada invests in a system that leaves no one behind.

Senator Peter Boehm stops by Power & Politics to discuss whether Canada should be more critical of the United States at this moment of tension.
