Foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes can delay deportation process under new tribunal policy

Foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes can delay deportation process under new tribunal policy

Foreign nationals convicted of serious criminality may be permitted to delay a formal hearing determining whether they must leave Canada if they have appealed their convictions, under fresh policy guidelines drawn up by the head of the immigration tribunal that makes such decisions.

Guidelines issued by Immigration and Refugee Board chairperson Manon Brassard, coming into force on June 1, broaden the criteria for considering whether convicted foreign criminals can delay formal proceedings on “admissibility” to Canada, which would precede deportation.

The Conservatives have seized on the revised policy guidelines, arguing they would make it easier for foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes to remain in Canada and delay their removal.

Failed American asylum seeker blocked from deporting himself

A failed asylum seeker has been prevented from self-deporting to the US for a second time.

Olabode Shoniregun, 28, tried to fly home to Las Vegas from Heathrow airport on May 7 – but border officials stopped him from getting on the plane.

The rejection followed his first attempt to leave the country in December, when Home Office officials declared him “unfit to fly”. At the time, officials insisted that they were “working to remove him as soon as possible”.

Pierre Poilievre needs a historic comeback — here’s how he can do it

Pierre Poilievre needs a historic comeback — here’s how he can do it

OTTAWA — If Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre ultimately finds himself in the job of prime minister he will have completed an extraordinary journey since winning his party’s leadership in 2022: from scrappy upstart, to massive frontrunner, to election loser, to finally, comeback kid.

It’s not a unique journey, but it’s fraught with difficulty and has produced more losers than winners in politics.

Canada-Israel relations are the worst they have ever been, ambassador says

Israel’s ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed says the government-to-government relationship between the two countries is the worst it’s ever been, summing up what he describes as a “long impasse” in ties strained during his country’s war with Hamas.

The flashpoint has been Gaza, which is in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis after more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas. Israel was attacked by Hamas militants in an October, 2023, assault that left around 1,200 people dead and about 250 taken hostage.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s covert presence in the West

The West offers the “ideal environment” for an organization like the Muslim Brotherhood to carry out its operations “because we are extremely tolerant,” says Lorenzo Vidino, an expert on the Islamist organization.

The Muslim Brotherhood has inspired or spawned some of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations. Yet its goals, strategy, structure, and financing remain poorly understood – even by many of the world’s leading national security and intelligence agencies.

LILLEY: Carney and CRTC are attacking Canadian broadcasters as well

LILLEY: Carney and CRTC are attacking Canadian broadcasters as well

The absolutely horrible decision by the CRTC to try to force online streamers to pay 15% of their revenues to fund Canadian content wasn’t the only bad decision on Thursday. The CRTC also decided to continue to stick it to Canada’s traditional broadcasters by keeping outdated spending requirements on them.

The only difference is that the CRTC reduced the requirements that traditional broadcasters need to pay from 30-45% of their revenues down to just 25% of their revenues.

How can gang-raping schoolgirls at knifepoint not lead to a prison sentence?

How can gang-raping schoolgirls at knifepoint not lead to a prison sentence?

‘I think of you as very young’, said Judge Nicholas Rowland to a trio of Traveller teenage boys in Southampton Crown Court yesterday. ‘None of you have been in any big trouble before… You have all done very well with the restrictions put in place throughout the trial.’ He assured the minors – the youngest of whom was just 14 years old – that ‘none of you need to go to prison today’.

Illegals Are Killing America

Illegals Are Killing America

On April 3, a 51-year-old woman was murdered by a man wielding a hammer as she exited a Chevron gas station in Ft. Myers, Florida. The attack was captured on video, and from the video, it appears that the woman didn’t realize until the last second what was happening. It was too unexpected. The victim had undoubtedly exited that gas station, where she reportedly worked as a clerk, dozens if not hundreds of times before and felt secure. In the video, she shows no sign of apprehension, but as long as anyone like her killer is at large in America, none of us is completely safe from this kind of unexpected attack.

Media’s shameful silence as yet another gang of Muslim rapists are jailed

Media’s shameful silence as yet another gang of Muslim rapists are jailed

TUESDAY’S silence was deafening. Not a single word from local MPs Kim Leadbeater (Labour) and Iqbal Mohamed (Independent/Palestine), although at least muftis and imams were clamouring to reach the top of the town hall steps to beg the public’s forgiveness for their medieval cult’s defiling of little white girls. Only joking, obviously. I mean, another 20 child rapists banged up for 277 years? It’s hardly news any more around Dewsbury and Batley.
