Three Canadians were named to the decision-makers category in Foreign Policy magazine’s 2016 Global Thinkers list.
Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada
“For designing a humane refugee policy.”
During the 2015 federal election campaign, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau vowed to boost the number of Syrian refugees Canada would take in to 25,000 by year’s end. And there would be an airlift if necessary to meet that goal.
A month after Trudeau swept to victory, his Liberal government forged ahead with the plan in the face of public fears that security might be compromised. RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and CSIS director Michel Coulombe appeared at alongside Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale to assuage such fears.

While the goal of 25,000 by Jan. 1, 2016, wasn’t quite met, Canada — which normally takes in about 10,000 refugees a year — has thus far taken in about 33,000 Syrians — almost three times the number taken in by the United States over the same period.
Overseas screening was expedited, with additional processing of newcomers by Immigration Canada and CSIS upon arrival. Trudeau met and welcomed the very first refugees in person when they arrived on a Canadian military flight from Beirut, Lebanon, on Dec. 11, 2015, at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
“Resettlement remains fraught — advocates and politicians have warned that some new residents might depend on public welfare indefinitely — but the Canadian leader has set an example for a humane North American response to Syria’s mass displacement,” FP magazine writes. “The policy, Trudeau said in March, ‘does right by both the safety of Canadians and by the values that define us as a nation.’ ”
Carolyn Bennett, minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs
Marion Buller, B.C. provincial court judge
“For probing a history of violence.”
After years of aboriginal activists’ criticism of successive Canadian governments for neglecting the issue of murdered and missing aboriginal women and girls, a long-demanded federal inquiry was struck on Aug. 3, 2016.
Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett speaks during a news conference on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry in Ottawa, Monday, February 15, 2016.
The RCMP identified 1,181 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls since 1980 — many of the cases unsolved — and stated that while homicide rates for non-indigenous women in Canada were declining, the homicide rate for indigenous women had remained unchanged. Bennett said in February that the actual total is “way bigger” than the RCMP estimate.
Bennett, a former family physician, is credited as the architect being a national inquiry into the violence. It was announced on Dec. 8, 2015, and began with a listening tour through native communities.
Judge Marion Buller speaks after being announced as the chief commissioner of the inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women at the Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2016.
Buller, a member of the Mistawasis First Nation, the first female indigenous judge in British Columbia and former head of the Indigenous Bar Association, was then chosen to lead the five-member commission that will study the crisis through 2018.
“Based on hearings and other research, Bennett told Foreign Policy, the commission will issue policy recommendations that answer the question: ‘What do we need to do to actually put an end to this tragedy?'”
