Hypocrisy shame Canada 🖓

she is selfish, just like justin trudeau

Good luck💛

Asylum doesn't change Saudi's situation. You should do should have done something to have led you change the regime. You only saved yourself.

You can´t enforce human rights by granting asylum. If you mean it, you need to change the countries violating human rights.

I agree with the sentiment, but it seems a bit precipitous to suggest women put their lives at stake considering how complex and expensive it can be to flee your homeland once the government wants you dead.

Best of luck!
