Coffee Talk VI: The Undiscovered Country

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Thought the STCA was actually signed in 2002, and it was only for refugees crossing between the borders for both US and Canada, nothing to do with protecting countries.
And the agreement this year was to allow both countries to send back asylum seekers who didn't cross at official ports of entry and in return Canada agreed to allow more people in legally.

As for what is going on in Haiti that should be an issue the UN takes care of. I do know Kenya agreed to send troops initially so her comments probably pertain to that?

It was but Trump stopped enforcing it and like many things Trump did Biden wasn’t in any rush to change it. Earlier this year they agreed to a revised agreement which Trudeau desperately needed at that point because unlike his stance in 2017 when he posted on Twitter that our borders were open to all to score political points off Trump he realized people aren’t actually fans of unregulated immigration all that much.

Biden, Trudeau reach deal to stop asylum seekers at unofficial crossings-sources

The United States and Canada reached a deal aimed at stopping asylum seekers from entering the shared land border via unofficial crossings, though some details still need to be ironed out when the two sides meet, a Canadian government source and a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.

But that deal seemed very one way to me, which is weird because the US never gives Canada anything for free. They had been having trouble getting countries on board to help out with Haiti, had been pressuring Canada to take a leading role but we wanted nothing to do with it because it’s a failed state that isn’t worth the effort anymore.

Now all the sudden Joly is talking about how “Canadians want to do more” for Haiti. I’m sure we’re already sending aid and helping the few organizations still willing to risk their people’s lives there, so my guess is they’re laying groundwork to send troops to help which seems like a terrible idea. And my guess is this was the deal they struck with Biden to get him to play ball on Roxham, because trusting American leaders to hold their ends of 20 year old agreements is asking a lot regardless who’s in power I guess.

Speaking of Joly, what the hell are her and Junior doing here with India?

Joly urges talks after India reportedly orders dozens of Canadian diplomats to leave

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly would not comment on report that India had told Ottawa it must withdraw 41 of 62 Canadian diplomats by Oct. 10, but stressed the importance of a diplomatic presence in each country

www.theglobeandmail.com

So far:

- accuse India of assassinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil

- India expels a few diplomats and stops issuing visas to Canadians

- Canada expels a few diplomats

- India expels way more diplomats

- Canada says “hey buddies let’s talk!”

What fucking game they playing here lol either cut ties or apologize for Fucking up the relationship with a country that the US is trying to bring closer into the fold. You can’t call them out in public like this then pretend everything is still normal.

Longer this goes on like this the more obvious it becomes that Trudeau had no plan whatsoever when he announced this in parliament and did so to take the heat off his slipping poll numbers.
