Canada should get creative - just like we're doing for Ukraine - to ensure that Afghans in dire circumstances aren't forgotten. Some thoughts here. Thank you @RhythmSachdeva@CTVNews for shining the light on the situation.
Canada is processing Afghan cases at a dangerously slow pace but "Gen. David Fraser and immigration attorneys insist Canada has the ability to change requirements". “If there's a will, there's a way" says @MSilcoff, like for Ukrainians notes @TheWillTruth

As Saudi Aramco ramps up again to launch what could be the world’s largest IPO, it will be interesting to see which countries also start to completely overlook and the forget about Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. https://t.co/TH933IfllN
The brutality of the Khashoggi killing & Saudi-led intervention in Yemen, as well as the continued detention of political prisoners, threatens the future of the U.S.-Saudi relationship. Today I wrote to King Salman calling on him to release those he still has unjustly imprisoned.
This International Women’s Day, I salute the courage of women like Loujain al-Hathloul who were imprisoned and even tortured for fighting for equal rights and opportunities for women. That is why I nominated her for the Nobel Peace prize.
A heart wrenching story by Lujain's sister. I get strong signals from Riyadh that this nightmare (whose perpetrators are no longer in government) is over and she will be released soon. Hopefully this will be the case. https://t.co/oMUX4cyBou
Let’s hope @SecPompeo read @alia_ww’s moving & disturbing @nytopinion piece about her sister Loujain, jailed & tortured by Saudi Arabia for demanding her rights
Pompeo should ask #MBS to free all brave activists in Saudi jails when they meet

Our Detention Review Panel today requests the right to visit Saudi women activists as credible concerns exist about their detention conditions. Opportunity for Saudi Arabia to address concerns and encourage civil society activists. https://t.co/Sd9O7YvT4a
The Black Eyed Peas, along with Enrique Iglesias, Jason Derulo, OneRepublic, David Guetta and Amr Diab, are set to perform on December 13 at the Saudi Ad Diriyah E-Prix, an all-electric Formula E auto racing series and multi-day music festival.
Canada and other countries pressed to demand protections for women’s rights defenders jailed in Saudi Arabia, including a former B.C. student, after disturbing new reports. https://t.co/L2DeXBZi61
Fourth woman activist reported tortured, no access by international monitors, while #Saudi authorities deny everything. Heard that one before?https://t.co/SMffUYJ4w7
Our friend @LoujainHathloul & other women's rights activists behind bars while Saudi royals "reaping praise and admiration for the work that these activists started in their efforts to abolish the driving ban."
