More Americans applied for refugee status in Canada in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024, and more than in any full year since 2019, according to data published on Thursday by Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board.
Their share of total refugee claims – 245 of about 55,000 – is small and Canada’s acceptance of U.S. refugee claims has historically been low. Asylum-seekers from other countries crossing the land border from the U.S. are sent back under a bilateral agreement with the reasoning that they should apply for asylum in the first “safe” country they arrived in.
If you guys really think that the United States is genuinely comparable to Nazi Germany, then why the fuck are you doing nothing about it? Pretending that you can just migrate to another country, find work, live your life isn’t doing something. There are massive logistic hurdles to do that. Spending time on some social media app wistfully complaining doesn’t do much either. Is everyone’s anger here performative or real? Have you guys done anything other than gripe to forestall whatever is coming?
