Sandra-Marie Virgili ii DOUBLY FLAWED: CANADA’S REFUGEE DETERMINATION SYSTEM IN A POST 9/11 ERA Sandra-Marie Virgili Master of Arts 2013 Immigration and Settlement Studies Ryerson University ABSTRACT Canada’s refugee determination system not only remains vulnerable to terrorist exploitation but also fails to assist legitimate refugees in a post 9/11 era. Through conducting an analysis of the Immigration Act, this paper exemplifies how, historically, Canada has had difficulty in regulating refugee migration into the country. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was implemented as a means of overhauling the Immigration Act, making for a more secure Canada.

  • Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
    CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

  • Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017
    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.

  • August 5, 2021 the Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary of the Treasury
    August 5, 2021 The Honorable Janet Yellen The Honorable Katherine Tai Secretary of the Treasury United States Trade Representative 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 600 17th Street NW Washington, DC, 20220 Washington, DC 20508 Dear Secretary Yellen and Ambassador Tai: On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our support for continued engagement with China on trade and economic issues, including full implementation of the U.S.-China Phase One Trade Agreement (“Phase One”), and swift action to address the costly and burdensome tariffs and retaliatory tariffs. We support the Biden Administration holding China accountable to its Phase One commitments, and we strongly urge the Administration to work with the Chinese government to increase purchases of U.S. goods through the remainder of 2021 and implement all structural commitments of the Agreement before its two-year anniversary on February 15, 2022. The Chinese government has met important benchmarks and commitments made in the agreement that benefit American businesses, farmers, ranchers, and workers. For example, the commitment by China to open up its markets to U.S. financial institutions – and other U.S. financial service providers – reflects a hard-won U.S. achievement, and years of work by administrations of both parties. The chapter 3 commitments have been good for American agriculture, addressing most long-standing market access barriers. China has removed market access barriers for some U.S. fruits and grains and for nearly all U.S. beef products, as well as expanded its list of U.S. facilities eligible to export beef, pork, poultry, seafood, dairy, feed additives, and infant formula to China, among other actions.

    Yale-China Association biennial report 2oo1–2oo3 Mission The Yale-China Association is a private, non-profit organization that contributes to the devel- opment of education in and about China and the furtherance of knowledge, understanding and friendship between Chinese and American people. Our work is based on the conviction that sustained, one-on-one contacts between Chinese and American people through educa- tional exchange not only enrich the lives of the individuals involved but contribute, ulti- mately, to more peaceful relations between our two nations. Teaching and learning are at the heart of our work. History The Yale-China Association was founded in 1901. For its first half-century, Yale-China’s work was centered in Changsha and Wuhan, where it helped to found Xiangya Hospital, Medical College, and Nursing School, the Yali Middle School, and Huachung University. Collaboration with New Asia College, now a part of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, began in 1953, and programs at mainland institutions were resumed in 1980. Relations with Yale University While closely affiliated with the Yale community, Yale-China is separately incorporated and administered and receives no financial support from Yale University apart from limited funds for two exchange programs involving Yale students and for special projects conducted on behalf of the University. Membership Yale-China greatly appreciates the loyal support of its members. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a member and other giving opportunities, please contact Yale-China at (203) 432-0880, or by e-mail at [email protected].

  • Who Will Be the UCP's Stephen Harper?
    Page 1 of 10 United Right: Who will be the UCP’s Stephen Harper? By Ian Holliday, Research Associate With Alberta’s Progressive A NOTE ON METHODOLOGY: Conservative and Wildrose parties formally joining forces to become the This analysis is based on data donated to the Angus Reid Institute United Conservative Party, the by MARU/Matchbox. The survey was conducted from June 5 – 12, conventional wisdom is that the days of 2017, among a representative, randomized sample of 5,406 Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP Canadian adults – including 599 Alberta residents – who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The sample plan included large government are numbered. oversamples in some provinces, which were then weighted down to provide a national snapshot. For comparison purposes only, a But a lot could happen in the roughly national probability sample of this size with this sample plan would two years between now and the next carry a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, 19 times out of provincial election in 2019. That’s more 20. The Alberta results would carry a margin of error of +/- 4 than enough time for Notley’s percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between government to improve its standing with totals are due to rounding. Detailed tables are found at the end of Albertans. It’s also enough time for this document. other parties to emerge as potential spoilers. Speculation has already begun about challenges to the UCP’s dominance both to the right and to the left of the new party. The first order of business will be for the United Conservatives to pick a permanent leader – someone to keep their provincial union together and growing the way former Prime Minister Stephen Harper did after uniting the federal Conservatives in 2003.
