A Call to Resistance and Refuge

In the summer of 2023, a number of African refugee claimants arrived in Toronto. Amid an overburdened shelter system, government inaction, and funding disputes, these migrants were effectively put out on the street. Several faith communities and organizations, including Pilgrim’s Feast Tabernacle Church and the Crisis in our City Network, took up the call to resist this injustice and transformed their spaces into shelters, providing refuge and essential services for thousands. Learn how faith communities took bold an compassionate steps to bring justice to a vulnerable population.

On the Periphery

Canadians expect a strong health care system, but a shortage of professionals poses a challenge. Canada must increasingly depend on internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) to sustain quality and effectiveness. Mansoureh (Suri) Ebrahimi’s report explores the barriers and discrimination that IHEPs face, even while Canada’s healthcare system will inevitably rely upon these workers.

💡Advocacy win for CPJ's members and all of Canada: the Clean Electricity Regulations have been released! 

Alongside other civil society organizations such as the @davidsuzukifdn, CPJ has been proud to participate in lobby days with MPs, Senators, and staffers, make consultation submissions, and call on the government to urge them to release the Clean Electricity Regulations without delay. 

The Regulations are one key step towards a future with climate justice—as CPJ Climate Justice Policy Analyst Maryo Wahba explains, “transitioning to a net-zero electricity grid would not only reduce household energy costs by more than 12% but will also create decent jobs, improve air quality, and prevent the release of over 180 megatons of planet-heating emissions.”
