  1. Not widely reported yet, but this could be important in any and all election campaigns. A judge is tasking government with creating a non-medical safe-supply drug program!

    ”Kalicum and Nyx were convicted of trafficking last year after admitting to buying the pure drugs on the dark web, then selling them to their members.

    Murray’s ruling says that running such a safer-supply program was precisely what the applicants were doing and that formed the basis of the criminal charges against them.

    She says the applicants in this case have borne the burden of bringing a successful constitutional challenge, doing a public interest service at considerable cost to themselves.

  2. The Israelis have been lobbying Mark Carney's government on alleged antisemitism in Canada, but Global Affairs Canada is choosing to keep records of that lobbying a secret.

    Israel's ambassador has openly talked about wanting to limit certain "freedoms" in Canada.

    Indeed, I was too

    This notwithstanding fuckery failed when Ontario tried to use it, and now that Alberta used it successfully once, every other union there should expect the end of collective bargaining

    And same for every other conservative premier in any province or territory

    It's dominoes until people reject it

    The job of a union, is to back up the members and pay the fines. To the point of the risk of extinction, as the BC teachers did in 2005.

    The government blinked then. Smith didn't even have to face blinking.

  5. The #NotwithstandingClause can be used by the legislature to exempt laws from the application of the #CharterofRightsandFreedoms This means that the government can pass legislation that breaches fundamental freedoms (such as the right to strike) and infringes equality rights (disability rights) 🇨🇦

  6. Well, I've been posting a fair amount recently about judicial overreach and the value of parliamentary supremacy. There is of course another side to the story, in particular the individuals who've achieved justice or greater freedom through the courts. #CBC has recently started a podcast on the topic: cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/205

    (Some of these cases may have nothing to do with the #CharterOfRightsAndFreedoms .)

  10. The #Canadian #CharterofRightsandFreedoms protects key rights and freedoms of everyone in #Canada. These rights are essential to preserving Canada as a democratic society where we can live our lives FREELY. Key word. ccla.org/major-cases-...

  11. I'd recommend reviewing Canada's Charter of Rights, something i had never done prior to the discussions noted above. in general, as a charter, it's a decent start, but, IMO, it doesn't go far enough. The exclusion of Universal Healthcare, for example, was a huge omission.

  12. you know, after being reminded of the "convoy" of 2022 here in #Ottawa, and with some reflection, i find it sorta strange that the conservative types who champion the #CharterOfRightsAndFreedoms, which by the way for anyone that failed history class, was brought in by former Lib PM, and father of current PM, Pierre Elliot Trudeau as part of the #ConstitionActof1982. But decry the use of the #EmergencyActof1988, brought in by former Con PM Brian Mulroney. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #cdnpolitics
  13. It’s contrary to the principle of free expression guaranteed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada to fire or discipline an employee for their public speech. Someone (&/or some organization/institution) is apparently trying to test whether that’s true. cbc.ca/news/canada/doctor-doxe #CharterofRightsandFreedoms

  14. Yes, the Senate Should Send Bill C-11 Back, But They Likely Won’t

    The case for Bill C-11 being unconstitutional is quite clear, but the likelihood that the Senate will defend the Charter is low.

    Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: Bill C-11 is blatantly unconstitutional.

  15. Vlog: MP: Violating Freedom of Expression to Pass Bill C-11 is “Worth It”

    In this seventh instalment of the vlog, I react to a Bloc MP's defence of Bill C-11 where she says its "worth it" to violate the Charter.

    Welcome to the 7th instalment of my vlog. Today, I wanted to offer my reaction to a Bloc

  16. @thorchrs #CharterOfRightsAndFreedoms People take their freedom for granted and nobody cares about the evil notwithstanding clause. Minorities rights are never protected by a majority vote or opinion #notwithstandingclause #CharterOfRightsAndFreedoms
