My amazing partner #WardaShazadi with a critically important message.

Media Release – The Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL) is deeply concerned by the Federal Government’s expansion of the Safe Third Country Agreement.

In 1939, Canada turned away the MS St Louis, carrying Jews fleeing the Nazis. Many later died in death camps. As of 12:01 this morning, Canada has once again begun turning away refugees en masse. Not a proud moment in our history to be repeating. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

If Anthony Bass really understands the significance of his decision to endorse anti-LGBTQ material yesterday, a 35-second apology and a refusal to answer follow-up questions fails to make that clear.

There is only one right response to Bass using his platform as a #Bluejay to boost a hateful campaign in a hateful atmosphere, and it's to let him go. This isn't who we are. #releaseBass #PrideMonth

Pride Month begins today, June 1st. Please take a moment to read this heartfelt and beautifully written post by one of our baseball media colleagues.

An ironic blunder given Stratas JA then writes - “International law is not a box of chocolates from which one can take what one wants, leaving the rest… international law is a specialized field calling for discipline, intellectual rigour and careful judgment when applying it”

As BC's Human Rights Commissioner, I am disturbed by news of hate fueled marches planned for Sept. 20. Peaceful demonstration is an important tool to protect democracy and generate debate. But I want to be very clear: the human rights of LGBTQ2SAI+ people are not up for debate.

I am also a "concerned parent". I am concerned about open promotion of discrimination against my family and people like us. About the idea that politicians & schools don't have a role to play. And about political leaders stoking it all for their apparent political gain.

Almsrawi believes she will be tortured & killed if she returns to Syria, but since Canada rescinded her refugee status she's not admissible to any other country. She has been told she must leave the airport by Oct. 2. thestar.com/news/this-syri…

Arwa Almsrawi, a Syrian trans woman, was given refugee status by Canada. She left Saudi en route to Toronto. During a layover in Istanbul, she was denied boarding, & Canada revoked her status, leaving her stranded & facing refoulement to Syria. Canada MUST intervene. Landings Law
