Canada must suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement

The inhumane treatment of children, families, and all asylum seekers along the United States and Mexico border has disturbed many of us here in Canada, and around the world.

Lives are being destroyed and Canada is being called to action.

Canadians can and must do something to stop the inhumane treatment of people risking their lives to escape violence and seek refuge.

It is clear that the United States is no longer a safe country for child migrants and asylum seekers.

Yet Canada remains in an agreement with the U.S. that is preventing asylum seekers reaching the United States from requesting refugee protection here in Canada.

Therefore, Canada must finally suspend the Safe Third Country agreement with the United States, and provide a recourse for these children and families to be treated humanely and with dignity.

Sign the petition, and call on Prime Minister Trudeau to stand up for human rights, help these children and families, and finally suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement.
