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

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
Here is the text of my speech outlining some of the troubling elements embedded within Bill C-12, which makes it much harder to claim refugee status, and enables the mass cancellation of permanent residency cards. https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/681726/29#hID #cdnpoli #Canada #CBA #UNHCR #migrants #remigration #Alberta
My efforts to convince the government to create a stand-alone sovereign verified traveller program for Canadian airports continues! Here is my recent QP exchange with government representative Pierre Moreau on that quest. https://youtu.be/W7u7L_kPLdo?si=Lvx52a92duP6ceaj #cdnpoli #DHS #SenateofCanada #PBO #Canada #airports #HomelandSecurity #NEXUS
