Honoured to represent this family in their persistent fight to save their youngest member:

Arwa Almsrawi, a Syrian trans woman, was given refugee status by Canada. She left Saudi en route to Toronto. During a layover in Istanbul, she was denied boarding, & Canada revoked her status, leaving her stranded & facing refoulement to Syria. Canada MUST intervene. @LandingsLaw

[Brendan Kennedy (https://bsky.app/profile/bkstar) @BKennedyStar]

Almsrawi believes she will be tortured & killed if she returns to Syria, but since Canada rescinded her refugee status she's not admissible to any other country.

She has been told she must leave the airport by Oct. 2. https://t.co/pP9EXEsEMm

I am also a "concerned parent". I am concerned about open promotion of discrimination against my family and people like us. About the idea that politicians & schools don't have a role to play. And about political leaders stoking it all for their apparent political gain.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Justin Trudeau always divides to distract from all he has broken. This time, he is demonizing concerned parents.

Parents should be the final authority on the values and lessons that are taught to children. Trudeau should butt out and let parents raise their kids.

B.C. human rights commissioner slams 'hate-fuelled' anti-LGBTQ2S+ rallies planned across Canada https://t.co/7QdLIeQ0NU

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

It is more important than ever that we work to establish inclusive and safe communities and schools for 2SLGBTQ+ students, educators and parents.
Visit this @egalecanada site https://t.co/2UQTyIuyIJ for great resources and tools to combat hate. #NoSpaceForHate #onpoli

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

Join us in Toronto to fight against hate 🫶🏽🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

Details to come on the other events taking place all over Ontario at the link 👇🏾

[Kasari Govender @KasariGovender]

As BC's Human Rights Commissioner, I am disturbed by news of hate fueled marches planned for Sept. 20. Peaceful demonstration is an important tool to protect democracy and generate debate. But I want to be very clear: the human rights of LGBTQ2SAI+ people are not up for debate.

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

In response to 1 Million March 4 Children protests that are scheduled to take place across Canada, ETFO strongly condemns anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests.

Any actions or events that seek to undermine the rights and dignity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community must be denounced. #onpoli #onted

@iancapstick I'm sorry no evidence of parents whose children had been violently stolen from their homes making inquiries with the thieves and demanding an investigation as to why the thieves didn't return the children after they stole them WHAT. Is she still a columnist WHAT

An ironic blunder given Stratas JA then writes - “International law is not a box of chocolates from which one can take what one wants, leaving the rest… international law is a specialized field calling for discipline, intellectual rigour and careful judgment when applying it”

Pride Month begins today, June 1st.

Please take a moment to read this heartfelt and beautifully written post by one of our baseball media colleagues.

[Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith]

If Anthony Bass really understands the significance of his decision to endorse anti-LGBTQ material yesterday, a 35-second apology and a refusal to answer follow-up questions fails to make that clear.

[Erin Simpson @erinvsimpson]

There is only one right response to Bass using his platform as a #Bluejay to boost a hateful campaign in a hateful atmosphere, and it's to let him go. This isn't who we are. #releaseBass #PrideMonth

Anthony Bass getting the reception he deserves in Toronto on the eve of #PrideMonth 😏
