UK-style changes to Canada's refugee system could hurt queer claimants

I have a new piece up on the Xtra.ca national page today, which is actually about a week-and-a-half late in being posted, but there were several delays and a long-weekend in there, so what can you do? Suffice to say, I really enjoyed writing this article as I had a chance to interact with Peter Tatchell in the UK, who is an activist I have long admired.

There is a secondary component to the article that is posted on my Hill Queeries blog, in which I asked the two critics I spoke to about the likelihood of the Conservatives using this issue during an election. I got some fairly interesting answers as well, which I hope get a bit of play.
