Thank you @NoLore @JesseBrown @CANADALAND for this show. Truly the best analysis I've heard of Anglo-Canadian media's disastrous failure to provide anything like the debate we urgently need about the implications of responding to #OttawaOccupation with updated #WarMeasuresAct

“Deportations during a pandemic are cruel and inhumane, but they are never justifiable, and they should never be taking place,” said Darwish. “We believe the only response to this should be to offer status to everybody so that nobody is living in fear of being deported.”
