 I think that is the same situation most black males are facing in the U.S., constant harassment by the police, not to mention the unfairness of the justice system towards black men. Thankfully more U.S. police will have to wear body cameras and more bystanders are taking videos of police brutality.

I sure don't blame that man for claiming refugee status in Canada, but if he is accepted, that could start a flood of other similar refugee claims and can Canada afford that? And are there any jobs here for all these refugees???

 If he sets a precedent ....? Hmm.
Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

 Good luck with that.

Ain't gonna happen.

His criminal record alone is likely more than enough to disqualify him.

 Sounds like he is making a political statement rather than genuinely seeking residency. If he has a offense free background and the ability to work there is no reason why he couldn't just seek regular immigrant. I think he would have better results via this method. A job with the Canadian Council of Churches that took me to Toronto in the 60 included assisting Americans seeking this sort of thing navigate the system as well as settle into their new home. One of the big issues we dealt with was that they had to leave their American politics behind them. I really loved the diversity and Canada has always been more liberal than the US but did not want to become a launch pad for American social issues. I doubt that much has changed in this regard.

Hi Spirit: I think Immigration must have changed a lot since then because now no-one can just immigrate to another country just because they want to. To move to the U.S. and Canada, a person has to be an entrepreneur and prove they will invest tons of money in the country, be a political refugee and provide strict proof of the danger they're in if they stay in their country, marry a citizen, or have a specific occupation that is needed in the country, and that's about it.

Maisie the reason refugee claimants don't just walk into Canada and disappear is probably because the only country we have a border with is the U.S. We do have lots of refugee claimants who arrive here by plane and claim refugee status.
