Example message:
I urge you to oppose and vote against the anti-refugee and anti-migrant Bill C-12, the “Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act.” This must be withdrawn.
Bill C-12 is an attack on migrants and will cause serious harm by:
– Denying refugee protection to anyone in Canada over one year—even if their home country becomes dangerous after arrival (affects everyone since June 2020)
– Allowing mass deportations by giving officials power to cancel work permits, study permits, and permanent residency for entire groups without any oversight
– Eliminating further rights for asylum seekers crossing from the US between official ports
– Removing privacy safeguards by allowing unrestricted sharing of migrants’ personal information across all government levels
The crisis is already here: Over 3,000 permits expire daily under current policies. Bill C-12 will make this exponentially worse.
This isn’t border security—it’s creating a cruel, violent, and racist mass deportation machine that will tear apart families and communities.
I am calling on you to do the right thing:
– Oppose Bill C-12 and call for its withdrawal
– Refuse the scapegoating of migrants for the housing and affordability crisis
– An end to the Safe Third Country Agreement
– A comprehensive, inclusive, and permanent regularization program
I will be watching carefully to make sure you oppose these harmful measures.
