What a month it has been for the region! New piece out in @foreignpolicy.com with Reva Dhingra on the implications of the fall of the Assad regime for Syrian refugees around the world.

I spoke to @mehlerpaperny.bsky.social @reuters.com last week about how much of the focus on the US-Canada border right now is mostly about *showing* that we (i.e. Canada) take the border issue seriously (& much less so about whether or not the policies themselves are effective). @npsia.bsky.social

Canada promised Trump a border crackdown. Easier said than done. - www.reuters.com/world/americ...
