More Americans applied for refugee status in Canada in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024, and more than in any full year since 2019, according to data published on Thursday by Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board.
You’re entirely misrepresenting what I’ve said, I strongly doubt cishet WASPs are the ones applying for asylum, the article even references a woman applying on behalf of her trans daughter. It also states:
The data does not say why the claims were made.
So I would imagine all that’s revealed is the country of origin, and in the interests of accuracy they’ve chosen to write the headline as it is. No one is suggesting millions of refugees go to Canada, but signalling it as an option to trans Americans, and potentially those naturalised citizens that have had that threatened, is kind of important.
