This poor dude and his family. Can Canada reach out and save them? This falls under refugee status I would think.
I don’t know of an international mechanism that wouldn’t require American support. And their entire position is that he must be demonized and punished, so I have trouble imaging a scenario where they let Canada help him out.
Edit: Though, assuming he ends up in Uganda, there’d be nothing stopping us offering him refugee status or something except for any potential from the capricious but mercurial trump.
And remember that ,“Carney pointed out that Canada will be reducing its immigration numbers in the future. Even though Canada has always accepted new immigrants, the increase in the last few years has caused some problems, mainly in housing and access to public services.” Source
Because of the Safe Third Country agreement, it would be complicated at the very least.
I doubt the government would even be interested right now, when the whole nation hangs in the balance and it’s just one dude.
