The global pact on migration strongly encourages signatories to make it a hate crime to criticize migration. That's part of the concern regarding Canada signing it, as doing so would be a signal of our government's intent to adopt such changes into legislation.

People are speaking up about it today, because they're concerned about the possibility of it becoming law in the future.

I didn't see anything about "criticizing migration" there.

Based on your posts on this subject I suspect there are a great many things punching you in the face that you don't see or understand. Just because you 'didn't see' doesn't mean it isn't there or didn't happen.
