Lawyer here. lol, this guy isn't the top constitutional lawyer in the country. Is this what he calls himself? I've never even fucking heard of him lol. I'm not disagreeing with anything he's saying, but there's so much wrong with calling this guy the top constitutional lawyer. First of all, nobody talks like this. Nobody ranks themselves in areas of law. There are a handful of esteemed academics, with the biggest, by far, being a recently deceased man with the name of Peter Hogg. There are about 3-4 other academics that would be deemed the top guys in the field. This guy is not in that group.
Second, the SCC case you are referring to was based on completely different grounds. It didn't occur in the middle of a pandemic. Any s 7 violation must consider S 1, and this is where the pandemic changes shit.
