Congratulations to all involved in this monumental litigation!! Goodbye STCA! You will not be missed.

Incredible victory today for refugees! Federal Court: the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) with the United States violates section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Congratulations to @AmnestyToronto @ccrweb @CCC_CCE and the Applicants!

This is something that should be on everyone’s radar. Our immigration system is highly discretionary and people’s lives and safety lie in the balance. Leaving these decisions to AI is ridiculous and likely unlawful.
