My mom went to university at 30, passed the bar, became a lawyer, had beef with the provincial court, passed the bar in the next province over at 50 out of spite and commutes across the border to practice law in a different province.
She wants to help people navigate immigration court and represent them for free after she retires.
She’s always had the opinion that immigration and border control have way too much power to make snap judgements and send people packing without informing them of their rights.
She’s not even an immigration lawyer, she’s going to learn a whole legal framework after retirement just to stick it to the man.

Your Mom is good fuckin’ people. World needs a lot more like her. 💛
There’s a fair number of lawyers in northern Ontario who also do a lot of work in Manitoba. Winnipeg to Kenora is something around a 2 hour drive.
Your mom goes to college.
