Canadian Border: Ghanaian Woman and Man .,

canadian border: The recent discovery of the body of a Ghanaian woman, who had presumably been trying to walk across the U.S.-Canada border near Emerson, Man., in search of an eventual reunion with relatives in Toronto, marks a sad but inevitable next chapter in the ongoing saga of asylum seekers trekking across the border in a fearful attempt to flee the United States, according to Hamilton Spectator. The woman, identified as 57-year-old Mavis Otuteye, is thought to have died of exposure, just a kilometre from the Canadian border. It's surprising that it hadn't happened before this. Her death is tragic, but the fact we have not seen more fatalities is nothing short of miraculous. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister, breaking the silence he has maintained on provincial issues due to a byelection-related information blackout, charged that the federal government and its U.S. counterpart must take long-overdue action to address the issue. With this tragedy, the debate over what Canada must do to either deter or deal with border crossings is re-engaged. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
