      A little breaking news from #canada. I just got off the phone with Canada’s Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen @HonAhmedHussen . He told me about the 600 slaves from Libya that Canada has or is in the process of rescuing and bringing to the country as refugees.1/8

      These were migrants who had tried to get across to Europe, and instead found themselves sold into slavery. CNN broke the story in late 2017: https://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/14/africa/libya-migrant-auctions/index.html … 2/8

      Hussen, who was once a Somali refugee himself, said he was sickened by the images and stories. And shocked. “When you hear about slavery, it’s usually in a historical context. Not 2017 and 2018,” he said. 3/8

      The Canadian government has resettled 150 so far, directly from Libya and also from Niger. 4/8

      They aren’t the only slaves Canada has taken in. Remember the Yazidis? More than 1000 have been resettled in Canada. They are modern Holocaust victims. Their settlement process has not been smooth. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/16/world/canada/canada-refugees-yazidi.html … 5/8

      There have also been the Syrians, the Yazidis, the white helmets, @rahaf84427714 , some 12,000 Eritreans, and now these freed slaves. A clear pattern is emerging… 6/8https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2019/02/02/we-felt-we-were-reborn-thousands-of-eritrean-refugees-quietly-welcomed-to-canada.html …

          Catherine Porter Retweeted Justin Trudeau

          This fits into a larger Liberal narrative, as the country heads into an election this fall. Instead of retreating from Trudeau’s famous tweet (https://twitter.com/justintrudeau/status/825438460265762816?lang=en …) about Canada opening its doors the world’s oppressed, the government is doubling down on it. 7/8

          “Canada will remain a country that continues to provide protection to the most vulnerable. We will never shy away from that,” Minister Hussen said. “Where we can make a difference, we will make a difference.” 8/8
