If ur curious, the #STCA Safe Third Country Agreement is still in force. The Fed CA refused to grant a stay to suspend the agreement till the appeal is resolved even tho arguable irreparable harm re Fed Ct fd #Charter violations

As well, even tho there are a multitude of intersectional issues relating to the #STCA Safe Third Country Ag, 13 orgs thru 6 intervener applications were denied participation in the hearing at Fed CA. #cdnimm #refugees #law

Deeply disappointed by @JustinTrudeau's decision to shut down the Canada-US border to refugees, in contravention of international refugee law and arguably Canadian constitutional law. /1
Decision puts health of Canadians at risk. When crossing at known points, like #RoxamRoad, refugee claimants go through medical checks and self-isolation. Closing down such routes pushes asylum seekers to cross surreptitiously, with no screening. /2
Canadian border decision also puts health and safety of #Refugees at risk. The experience with closing safe routes for asylum seekers elsewhere (US, EU) shows that people don't stop crossing borders, they just use more dangerous routes. Result: loss of life. /3
