Dr. Irene Bloemraad, Professor of Political Science and Sociology and CMS Co-Director, and @lisabrunner.bsky.social, CMS Postdoctoral Research Fellow, provide expert insights on the risks Canadians face when travelling to the U.S. in light of shifting immigration policies and border enforcement.
The @nytimes.com made some egregious errors in this article, incorrectly and dramatically inflating the number of “irregular migrants” apprehended at the US northern border. (The numbers for the US southern border were inaccurate, too.) A reckless and irresponsible mistake at a sensitive time.
You can argue with me about who the target is, but we can no longer deny that white supremacy and greed is at the core of today’s politics. White supremacy includes targeting those most vulnerable to ensure that we don’t have any class solidarity.

Saturday | 11:00 PT Lisa Brunner, expert on immigration policy, scrutinizes Trudeau's message on cutting immigration, and how the rhetoric presents a simplified explanation for some complex realities. @migrantsrights.bsky.social @ubcmigration.bsky.social @lisabrunner.bsky.social
In a recent video, Trudeau explained his government’s new plan to reduce immigration by 20%.
It’s damage control as he faces decreasing public support, calls to resign and a federal election that the Liberals are on track to lose. Experts explain.
