I know there are a lot of petitions going around calling for Canada to suspend the Third Safe Country Agreement between Canada and the USA in response to the U.S.’s policy of Family Separation of immigrants, but this one is important and special.
This is an official government of Canada e-petition. By law it will be presented in Canada’s House of Common’s and Justin Trudeau will be forced to respond to it if it gets over 500 signatures (It currently has ~400 signatures). Once it surpasses 500 signatures, please keep signing. The more people sign the more pressure it will put on the government to do the right thing.
Sign this petition, and share it widely. If you’re American, please share this so more Canadians can see it (and sign it).
https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-1755
The petition is open for signatures until October 20th, 2018.
Also some background info on the Safe Third Country Agreement and why it should be suspended:
Canada must end its safe third country agreement with the U.S.

You should also write or email your MP encouraging them to suspend or abolish Canada’s safe third country agreement with the United States. If people aren’t sure how to do this, I can post the letter I wrote to my MP.
If you wouldn’t mind.
