U.S. corporations want New Brunswick’s land. Local communities and Indigenous nations are saying no.

With Bill C-12, Canada is repeating a century of anti-migrant scapegoating.

The new legislation will restrict refugee protections, increase deportations, and expand state powers, framing migrants as “dangerous” and “unwanted”—it’s a new chapter in an old Canadian playbook.
