CBC: Visiting Carleton prof denied work permit over 1981 arrest
An American professor scheduled to teach at Carleton University this fall was denied a work permit because of his arrest during a protest 26 years ago — a move he says has chilling implications for activists and protesters on both sides of the border.
“I’ve not been convicted of a crime,” said Tom Juravich, who teaches labour studies at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. “But somehow now, simply because I was arrested 26 years ago, I seem to be a potential threat here in Canada.”
