Would you leave home if home was hateful, or harmful, or not safe for your kids?

Refugee protection isn't a political issue. It's a not left-wing or right-wing issue. It's a human rights issue and human rights should not be political.

In January, Canada opened a temporary visa program for Gazans. Today, thousands of individuals who applied are still waiting in Gaza. How does it work and why is it so hard to leave? My thoughts on today's episode of the CANADALAND podcast.

Happy to have been able to provide some important context for this story by @nkeung https://t.co/ewgQwXdUgZ

An "Access to Justice Act" from a government that cut all legal aid funding for immigration and refugee law services in 2019. No comment on the substance of the Act (outside my bailiwick), but the priorities of @fordnation's government are clear and they don't include A2J #cdnimm

[Ministry of the Attorney General @ONAttorneyGen]

Ontario has passed the Enhancing Access to Justice Act.

This act will increase access to justice for victims of crime, strengthen cannabis regulation to protect children and youth, enhance community safety and make court services more efficient.

A great ambassador both for the game of football and refugee rights. FWWC Golden Ball winner @AitanaBonmati

[Players' Tribune Football @TPTFootball]

Aitana Bonmati: "Sometimes I think that this world is s***. So many people have to leave their homes without wanting to because of war, and they arrive in places like Spain and Italy with no money, no friends and without speaking the language. Some have lost a wife, a kid or a husband. Honestly, it breaks my heart. We know about Ukraine here in Europe because it’s close to us, but there are so many people struggling in all corners of the world. Women in Afghanistan cannot go to university or even leave their home alone, because they are women. How crazy is that?

Tragedies like this make me realise how privileged I am. Last year I began working with the UN Refugee Agency in Spain, ACNUR. They arrange football training in Barcelona for female refugees to give them a support network here and help them integrate. That’s pretty cool, no? I always ask my teammates for spare boots and clothes that they can have. It’s not going to fix the world, but I already think it has improved quite a few lives. For me, that means a lot."

@jfreedman23 I've seen enough!

[Tareq Hadhad @TareqHadhad]

It's World Refugee Day.

I was a refugee. Many forget that I had a happy life -like everyone- before that. I lost everything and now I am a proud Syrian-Canadian entrepreneur. That's my story of second chances & new beginnings.

Becoming a refugee is not a choice
or a dream.

[Maureen Silcoff @MSilcoff]

Although the SCC didn't strike down the #STCA, it remitted the case for a review based on s 15 of the Charter & its findings on s 7 engagement & safety valves have important consequences. Proud to have rep'd @CARLadvocates w/@ASadinsky as interveners.
