Jurisdiction, Sovereignties and Akwesasne: Shiprider and the Re-Crafting of Canada-US Cross-Border Maritime Law Enforcement
Against the historical backdrop of the sinking of the Canadian rum-running schooner the I’m Alone by the US Coast Guard in 1929, this paper examines the re-crafting of maritime jurisdictional practices in the 2000s through the Canada-US Cross-Border Maritime Law Enforcement Program known as Shiprider. Thinking jurisdictionally and taking seriously the materiality of the water, we explore the significance of Shiprider’s patrols in the local contex…

Fears about 'welfare fraud,' about 'bogus refugees,…
Dunking the Doughnut: Discretionary Power, Law and the Administration of the Canadian Immigration Act
Three main assumptions are embedded in the conventional view of discretion - that law is the primary instrument of social regulation, that discretion is a residual category of law and that this discretion is exercised by individuals who are essentially autonomous. While recent scholarly analyses of discretion have begun to unsettle this view, its core assumptions nonetheless remain largely undisturbed and continue to guide policy debates to such …
