SALCO, CASSA and SAWRO have released a report about the impact of COVID-19 on South Asian communities, highlighting concerns around labour, income, family and discrimination - very worth the 5 min read! https://t.co/dCTCD4IFhh

Absolutely tragic news coming out of Beirut. Canadians are thinking of everyone who has been injured and all those who are trying to locate a friend or family member or have lost a loved one. We’re keeping you in our thoughts and we stand ready to assist in any way we can.

FACL has partnered with the Korean Legal Clinic,
@csalegalclinic, @ccncto & @ccncsj to create a community reference guide to respond to acts of hate and discrimination. Available in English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Tagalog. Spread the word! https://t.co/MnSTYKTj0L

Thirty-five years ago today, a bomb exploded on Air India Flight 182. 329 people were killed. Today, we remember the victims and stand in solidarity with all those who lost a loved one in this heinous act. You are in my thoughts today.

Another cry for help.

Another person killed by the police.

His name was Ejaz Choudry. He should have been helped not killed.

We need healthcare workers responding to people in healthcare crisis NOT the police.

[SalsaOsgoode @SalsaOsgoode]

Not even a month after the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, 62 year old Ejaz Choudry was shot and killed by police in Mississauga following a call to HELP someone with a mental health illness. #JusticeForEjaz

We need Osgoode to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive. We demand Osgoode leverage its privilege in a meaningful way to affirm the inherent value of Black life not only in interactions with police but in all aspects of life.

[BLSA Osgoode @BLSAOsgoode]

BLSA has released a letter to Osgoode and Dean Mary Condon. This is Osgoode’s time to show up and be accountable not only to the Black students it admits but to the Black community and Canada and abroad. A link to the full letter can be found on our website.

[SalsaOsgoode @SalsaOsgoode]

As another equity seeking group at Osgoode, we have a responsibility to stand with each other in the face of racism and systemic oppression.

Diversity and inclusion are sources of strength, and at the heart of our success. On #MultiDay, we celebrate our differences and the contributions people of all backgrounds have made, and continue to make, to Canada. https://t.co/PhxWCtI2ux

Our Guide to your rights and responsibilities under Ontario’s Human Rights Code is essential reading. Download your copy: https://t.co/q2c7VRmsm6 #TiLocal #KnowYourRights

[Lorne Sossin @LorneSossin]

Judgments from #SCC in #TWU again show why Administrative Law is such a compelling, dynamic, elusive, contested, hopeful field of human endeavour - it is where we work out what the public interest means & how public authority ought to be exercised. It is also sometimes messy!

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

We're in solidarity with the victims of this violence, and wish a swift recovery to the injured. We’re working closely with police and officials in Mississauga on this. https://t.co/AQBuFZPXNY

[Min of Justice/Attorney General of Canada @MinJusticeEn]

All children deserve to be safe. With our #FamilyLaw bill, courts making #parenting arrangements would have to take family violence into account when deciding what would be in a child’s best interests. https://t.co/0KD3jUJJRj

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

100 years ago, the first – though not all - women in Canada gained the right to vote federally. Today, we recognize the countless women who’ve transformed our politics, and remember we need to do more to make sure everyone’s rights are respected: https://t.co/Jhn2moekjG
