Trudeau said last week anyone crossing between the two countries on foot to claim asylum will be turned away as part of the temporary border deal aimed at combating COVID-19

This has raised questions about whether refugees turned back by Canada would be returned to their country of origin.

“The other end of non-refoulement for a refugee is the possibility of death, torture, rape, arbitrary imprisonment. We cannot close our eyes to that, not only morally, but legally,” he said in an interview Saturday. Now that Canada knows refugees could face the prospect of being returned to their countries of origin — countries they have fled seeking humanitarian aid — Canada should walk away from this deal with the U.S., Neve said.

She agreed that Canada could face legal trouble if an asylum seeker turned away by Canada is deported by the United States.

Least of our concerns...BS news.

Nonsense. Canada is a sovereign state. It needs to begin acting like one..... again.

Fuck it and whatever. Care factor zero. We’ll deal with this later

This is Force Major and National Security issue combined. The lawyers will fight an uphill battle.

Can we just withdraw from UN? At this critical time, especially, UN should just stay out of it!

I will happily contribute to any legal expenses we incur.

Wow a sign. That will make people think twice about crossing.

trudeau will probably settle out of court for millions

You want to see a country push back Just try it......

Oh boy!! And your point is.... who cares.. in these times keep them out or send them back.

Left wing lawyers at it again

Let it be!

that's trudeau's fault...as usual. justin, just RESIGN!

JustinTrudeau BillBlair marcomendicino cafreeland should be charged 54,000 times for failing to uphold the safe country pact with the US & aiding & abetting ILLEGAL immigrants entering Canada. They have breached our trust. They are traitors

Well, I’m an immigrant....but even as an immigrant I think we have to stop this thing of illegal refugees. They should come thru legal points of entrance, and if they are closed for foreigners, they should stay in the US

glob and male promotes people breaking the law!

At this point in time refugee legal illegal whatever, should not be entering Canada and taxing the health system and citizens and the tax payers hardworking dollars. What a time to put this garbage out.

Just to be sure ...the 55,000 illegal asylum seekers who came in from USA are pissed that more illegals can’t get in now that the US & Canada border is closed. You can’t make this shit up. WTF

It's still better to stick to current plan to not let any non-Canadian enter Canada and deal with legal issues later

Worth it.

And which foreign power is going to make it so, comrade?

And who should be telling Canada what to do? How’d we get here? Refugees

Nobody cares. They are not our problem!

Canada also signed 'United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances' and we made pot legal, so what?

It’s among the least of concerns right now.

We are a sovereign country protecting ourselves during a pandemic, many other countries are doing the same, but nice try

Tell the SJW advocates that now is not their time. PQ has the highest infection rate and their clients are raping and shooting up folks in our cities

Bring it on advocate fools. We’ve all had enough of this BS. Time to enforce the rule of law in this country.

Unwanted and unskilled people came in after Trudeau’s unwanted and unskilled invite

Oh no.. legal trouble? Whatever shall we do? I guess we better keep letting 3rd worlders waltz across our border with our baggage handlers ready else we get in “trouble”.

Lol does it contradict the right to have a border and control what goes in, stays in, or gets put out. Legal issues my Ass!!

There you go, no story until you add the word 'could'.Media

Canada will face legal trouble for deporting refugees, but refugees get released from Canadian prison after murder chargers. Totally fair!

I can't believe this is what the PM will have to deal with, for making a decisions, during an unprecedented pandemic in an attempt to keep Canadians safe.

Amnesty International is not what it was and, like the UN, needs to be ignored as they wallow in their irrelevance.

Why?

Canada signed the migration pact. So is legally responsible. Canada 🇨🇦 should just try to get out of the migration pact. And bring migrants in on a more controlled basis.

Another reason to separate

A lot of wanna be lawyers on this thread... who are pretty clueless on basic Canadian rights as well..

It's too bad PMJT made such an inhuman decision ... break the law, and you have to face the music... positive note, the right wing extremists will realize that whole illegal immigrant thing is propaganda now

If you’re weak and you know it. 🤦‍♂️ FFS. Global pandemic. So you don’t let BS economic migrants in during a pandemic. Shelter in place. How hard is that for Trudeau and his pals to justify to his UN handlers.

This is said by advocates. Don’t forget, without the refugees the advocacy groups won’t get funding.

International law is not a real thing. There is no legal trouble because they are not Canadian. We make the rules, if only we had a strong leader to make them.

Oh dear. Whatever will we do if we upset the UN.

So we have to allow open borders according to the UN. The so called asylum seekers are supposed to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. That is the US.

These advocates do not differentiate between economic immigrants, invaders and legitimate refugees. Moreover, they appear to fully support people crossing illegally into Canada. IMHO, they can put a cork in it!

International agreements that threaten Canadian sovereignty, economic stability do not have to be adhered to at all. Screw globalism, the UN and anybody who supports these ideas over looking out forvCanada and Canadians first and foremost.

Canada is a sovereign nation that is legally entitled to protect its borders from illegal migrants.

Let it be so then.

People trying to cross Roxham road are not refugees.

Is it deportation if you don't let them into the country in the first place? Just asking ...

They are welcome through customs anytime.

I am sure we will weather any negative storm until the world returns to normal.

fog off

Perhaps it was preemptive preparation for all of the Americans they are expecting.

...not if we all die anyway.

We have a liberal government now,rules don’t mean shit anymore.
