In a choice forced upon them by the Canadian government, four mothers have made the agonizing decision to forfeit an opportunity to repatriate their children from open air prisons in northeast Syria. https://t.co/3Hn5XxYE0e

MDs have learned via @OntariosDoctors that uninsured patients lose coverage for physician & hospital services on March 31.

Cancelling this program harms the most marginalized including those uninsured solely due to mental health challenges, addiction, and/or no fixed address.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Not every Ontarian has an OHIP card: refugees, unhoused people, those with mental health challenges.

Some are eligible but don’t have the means to register.

Ford’s turning his back on them all.

Once again, he’s choosing to hurt those who need help the most. #onpoli

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford's government is slashing OHIP-covered eye services for seniors. (The government, the best Friday afternoon tradition of a "dump day," has also released the Sunshine List of $100K+ earners)

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

UNHCR’s formal legal observations on the Illegal Migration Bill have just been released.

The impact of this Bill would be that refugees in need of protection would be unable to seek it in the UK, no matter how compelling their claims may be.

EU: Democracy as a problem for deportations

The European Commission prefers informal readmission arrangements to formal readmission agreements for a number of reasons - including the "possibility to keep the arrangement confidential."

fyi, we at @thenarwhalca have just updated this Greenbelt land grab explainer with ~everything~ that has happened since the original announcement in November. It should now be a fairly comprehensive guide to what's going on! #onpoli

@MariamYusufi Hi Mariam - I am unable to take this on at the moment. I apologize!

✨A very talented recent graduate was hung out to dry by their articling firm 2 days in. If you need someone w/ immigration & employment experience please let me know.

I wish I could hire them (I'm 1 year short on eligibility req. to be an articling principal). Plz retweet!

@laurenstrapa I am so sorry. You are truly talented - a wizard - and shopify has lost some magic.

The #SCC has ruled 9-0 in Brown and 9-0 in Sullivan/Chan, each saying that Section 33.1 of the Criminal code—extreme intoxication causing automatism—violates the Charter and is unconstitutional. #cdnlaw

Watching live as Israeli army broke into the French hospital in Jerusalem and attacked the funeral of Shireen Abu Aqleh. They almost knocked down her casket. She was put in a hearse & the army is ripping flowers and Palestinian flags off the hearse… I am in shock…
