Quote of the Day: Trying to stay in Canada

“It is a constant reminder of my plight in Colombia as it repeats themes of my disappearance in Colombia: . . . being a victim of slander or evidence I am not allowed access to . . . having a life I am trying to establish wrecked; being powerless compared to state actors who act with complete impunity.”

--Former Colombian trade unionist Amparo Torres described to the Toronto Star her plight in trying to remain as a permanent resident in Canada for nearly a decade.

Despite being recognized as a “high-profile political refugee” who is currently married with two sons, Torres may be deported back to Colombia by Canadian immigration officials by the end of the year.
