🧵 I'm seeing a lot of disturbing tweets and frankly false info on #refugee#law. First, let's be clear. There will be refugees from #Ukraine. We should all protect them. A refugee is a refugee. An imperial power has invaded.
2. I am a huge critic of the international and domestic protections afforded to all kinds of migrants. I'll be the first to critique a policy, #law, program when I see it unfairly excludes, labels, violates rights. This is not time to pit #refugee communities against each other.

Starting new thread for the Respondents in #STCA#law case. Stellar legal team with submissions starting with Andrew Brouwer a seasoned #cdnimm#refugee lawyer.
Oops, Jared Will will begin. Really enjoyed watching Jared in past cases for eg on #cdnimm#refugee#law#detention. Saw him live at #SCC on #Chhina case.
