Start your day with FirstUp, the Star's morning news digest: Canada accused of discriminating against Afghan refugees + BQ leader wants Islamophobia position gone
Since the complaint was filed in May, at least two of the men have alleged that their family members have been detained and tortured by the Taliban.Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada have argued there were no grounds to claim discrimination on the basis of national origin. But as a result of the settlement with two of the men who filed complaints, the government must implement a new public policy to expand eligibility for Canada’s Afghan resettlement program.
Justin Trudeau should fire his point-person on Islamophobia — and get rid of her job, too, BQ leader says Amira Elghawaby has said she’s “extremely sorry” for a previous remark about Quebec’s controversial secularism law. A column she co-wrote in 2019 said “the majority of Quebecers appear to be swayed not by the rule of law, but by anti-Muslim sentiment.” For Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, the apology isn’t nearly enough; he wants her and the new position gone, Raisa Patel reports.
