@pressfreedom reports that 129 journalists were killed in 2025, two-thirds by Israeli forces. The Walrus senior editor Samia Madwar speaks to journalism professor @sonyafatah about why the world has looked away. https://t.co/feB5ja29rC

Are you a refugee claimant? You are invited to the IRB-RPD VIRTUAL READY TOURS! This is a great opportunity to meet the RPD officers who will explain what is going to happen at your refugee hearing and how to be ready. Next one: THURSDAY MAY 7. Register: https://t.co/nu4yZGtFcT

Maleck Kadiri trained over a decade to do cancer research in Quebec. The province’s decision to scrap the Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ), a fast-track pathway for foreign graduates and skilled workers, has left him and thousands more in limbo. https://t.co/UNDEnZrrhT

It is SO important to call out bad behaviour from immigration officials, but it's always reassuring to hear that some of them are just pleasantly doing their job.

[Hammed Kayode Alabi @iamkayfactor]

I touched down in Montreal, Canada, and at the Border Check, the officer asked, "What is the purpose of your trip?"

Hammed: I am giving a Keynote speech at McGill University.

Officer: Can I see your invitation letter

Hammed: Showed the invitation letter and the first line reads “Dear Immigration Officer,
I am writing to formally invite Mr. Hammed Kayode Alabi, an accomplished leader dedicated to improving youth employment outcomes and enhancing career development opportunities for youth in Africa, to participate as a Keynote Speaker at the McGill Africa Umoja Summit, scheduled to take place on May 1, 2026, at Centre….

Officer: Only reads the first line and said “Good luck sir”

It was one of the smoothest checks I have had including Ghana, and Spain. I had that pride in my face.

Still Day One!

The climate around trans issues has become polarized and poisonous. People have questions about the "trans agenda", and they deserve answers.

That's why I'm teaming up with @KarlaMarx1917 for "Ask a Trans Person Anything" events across 🇨🇦

See you there? https://t.co/bNTeqFuzMc

JKR will receive 20 million or more from the new HBO series (Latin Nation, https://t.co/U2i4ljWK7X; Forbes, https://t.co/jbJdzxQqLI), and earns about 80 million from HP every year (Forbes). She's used a large chunk of her fortune to repress trans (and other diverse SOGIESC) ppl.

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

I am so baffled by people who continue to support JK Rowling and other public displays of TERF nonsense. Remember the halcyon days of 2016 when a significant number of people and institutions stood up for trans rights against bathroom bans? But the UK gets a pass?

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

What it's about is the direct HP-to-TERF financial pipeline. To purchase licensed, new, HP merch or media is to pay money directly to JKR and her deeply problematic political donations and her own provide "women's" fund.

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

THIS is an unfortunate tweet, because the tweet is WRONG but the article isn't as inaccurate. No decision has been made "preventing" Sidhu's deportation. It has merely been delayed pending a proper consideration of his circumstances.

[CityNews Toronto @CityNewsTO]

Many of the parents of the Humboldt Broncos victims and survivors are upset after a federal judge granted a last-minute reprieve for the truck driver who caused the deadly crash, preventing his deportation to India.

There's unpopular takes and then there's ... whatever this is 🤣

Even a paranoid can have enemies but this is a first: former Conservative leader accuses the National Post of being in the tank for the Liberals.

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

Browsers need a "Canadian" setting. How do I explain to Edge (don't ask) that I don't need it to translate all Canadian government sites because there's like three words of French.

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

As per usual, when @GhostsofIRCC and I agree that someone is being unhinged, you KNOW the person we're pointing to is saying things that are way out of pocket. (Just like the Ancient Persians (Herodotus, Histories, 1.133, IYKYK))

[GhostsofCBSA @GhostsofIRCC]

@sarkonakj Correct. It's called family sponsorship and refugees. This has been happening for 50 years. LINC is an IRCC program. Please catch up.

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

Fascinating discussion. https://t.co/VNw0ZgYFYI

[Sarah L. Boyd @SarahLBoydLLB]

Unsurprised but nauseated to see that the IOC has bought in to the toxic, scientifically unsubstantiated model of gender and sex as a fixed binary. I'm sure there's no way genetically testing all of, but only, the women athletes can go wrong 🙄
