subsequent to donald trump's election and signing of executive order 13769 on january 27, 2017 to establish "extreme vetting" procedures for refugees and immigrants attempting to enter the united states, walia reported a greater volume of incoming calls to noii from undocumented migrants in the us seeking to claim asylum in canada. she has stated that, despite many government-sponsored messages that canada is welcoming to refugees, the safe third country agreement (stca) prevents those who reach the canadian border via the us from claiming refugee status. consequently, she has added, many people cross irregularly into b.c., where they are often intercepted by the rcmp. noii have urged the trudeau government to repeal the stca, although the agreement currently remains in effect. in april 2017, noii-vancouver released and distributed "border rights for refugees", a pamphlet available in 17 languages with information for those seeking asylum in canada.

book v brings the action to its catastrophe. philanax struggles to maintain order in arcadia, which is dangerously divided: some factions support various political climbers, others clamor for democratic government, and some call for the election of the two princes, whose good looks and military prowess had made them very popular. philanax needs a leader capable of commanding the allegiance of the arcadians and of bringing justice to basilius's murderers. luckily, the sovereign most renowned for his wise and just government, euarchus of thessalia, has traveled to arcadia to visit his good friend basilius. euarchus is also the father of pyrocles and uncle of musidorus, but has no idea what they have been up to. philanax persuades the reluctant eurarchus to aid arcadia by assuming authority for the present and becoming the state's "protector." the book concludes with a lengthy trial scene. gynecia, "palladius" and "timopyrus" are brought forth to stand before euarchus, who presides as judge, and philanax, who argues on behalf of the apparently murdered basilius. gynecia's trial goes quickly because she, overcome by grief, wants to die as quickly as possible, and gives a false confession of intentionally poisoning her husband and sovereign. euarchus sentences her to death by being entombed alive with basilius. "timopyrus" is tried next, and philanax delivers a vituperative oratory condemning him for cross-dressing, for raping philoclea, and for conspiring with gynecia to murder basilius; "timopyrus" is acquitted of the murder charges, but is sentenced to death for raping philoclea. "palladius" is likewise condemned to death for attempted theft of the royal daughter, pamela. as the convicts are escorted to their executions, a friendly compatriot of musidorus suddenly arrives with important information. he has heard about the trial, guessed the princes' true identities, and feels euarchus should know that he has condemned his own son and nephew to death (for various reasons, the identities of euarchus and the princes has been hitherto obscured). at this moment of recognition, or anagnorisis, euarchus is devastated, but decides that justice trumps kinship, and with a heavy heart confirms their death sentence. suddenly, groans are heard from basilius's corpse and, to the surprise and delight of all, basilius emerges from a deep coma. all are forgiven, the princes marry the princesses, and the book thus ends with a comic reversal, or peripeteia, from justice and death to reconciliation and marriage.
