Lawyer here. It doesn't take 5 years for a fucking FOIP request. What a fucking joke. How much more was lost by these pricks intentionally delaying?
He fucked up. Inflation is here now and there's no denying it. He waited too long, inflation is obvious, and people realize that you can't double your money supply in a year without consequences.
It's rare that this site makes me laugh.
I'm a lawyer. Aside from academics, not a lot of people practice "constitutional" law since it really is a byproduct of a bunch of other areas of law, most notably, criminal, followed by employment, followed by HR. Any employment lawyer is going to have a background on the relative constitutional applications. Again though, outside of academics, one does not "practice" constitutional law, as that would be a weird hybrid of employment, criminal, and human rights.
.... Go to an employment lawyer.
I'm a lawyer, this isn't true. We have to balance advocacy with the administration of justice. Where that line is drawn is highly subjective, but to say that one is "first" is patently false.
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.
Just trying to correct this misinformation.
VERY good point. People forget that we've had alcohol available to us for thousands of years. Historically, if you were a low impulse individual, that became a massive alcoholic, you just died. I'm talking middle ages and shit. Whites, for example, dealt with alcohol in the middle ages and weeded out certain people. These people don't exist anymore, since there was no social benefits.
In Canada, however, the certain percent of aboriginals that were like this all had 10 children thanks to the current social benefit program that incentivizes them to reproduce as early as possible. Therefore what was originally a small percent of aboriginals, has ballooned into what is almost (or may already be) the majority. While for white people, the vast majority of these people died off hundreds-thousands of years ago.
The very first case we ever learned in law school (crim was my first class of the day) was a case from the UK in the 1600s that basically said you cannot be charged for a crime that was not in existence at the time the act occurred.
Fair enough, but many judges do their best to fight the SJW nonesense within a system that does not favor them. To be fair, your argument is somewhat valid for the SCC and certain courts of appeal (BC, Quebec, and Ontario to a lesser degree), but lower court judges are bound by statute and these nonesense higher court decisions. The other thing is that when the SCC makes a crazy ruling, parliament can easily step in and overrule it, but they haven't on all of these issues. I completely agree with your position though, it's fucking crazy. But what's even more crazy is that it took like what, 15 pages of judgment to rationalize deporting this loser? That's because the judge had to check all these boxes. These judges didn't create the boxes.
The last two sentences are such a reasonable position, that would get you deemed racist if spoken publicly.
lawyer here. Read that decision, and then go on and tell me how SJW activist judges are ruining this country. Look at how much work that fucking judge had to do just to make the most common sense judgment imaginable. Why? Because they were already dealing with an appeal, and don't want to get their decision appealed. It's so fucking easy to appeal criminal or deportation hearings its disgusting.
Again, I'll say this every time you dumb fucks bring up the anti lawyer/judge argument, YOU VOTE FOR POLITICIANS, THAT DRAFT LAWS, WHICH JUDGES INTERPRET. Stop bitching about judges, and bitch about politicians that allow this to go on and get worse every year. Look at Trudeau's changes ffs.
Why the fuck would the US want to replace its own currency? Do you have any idea how much value this creates for the US when it's used as a world currency? Nonsense.
Dude, Edmonton is way worse than Calgary.
Believe it or not but Canada's best shot is social media and twitter basically pulling out of the country altogether. If Zuckerberg says something like "We have decided to withdraw offering services to Canada, at great personal expense to the company, as Canada's draconian new laws do not align with FB's position on free speech, and personal freedoms." If this actually happened, then maybe Canada has a chance. This is honestly the only shot we have.
Lawyer here, you're 100% right. I remember back in school my health law prof actually specifically used what's going on now as an example, saying that it's not constitutional, but it's never been tested and the gov't wouldn't actually do it, so it's sort of a moot law. That is, there's no need for an SCC reference case to test it's validity when it's literally not been used once.
This is what I find the most crazy, that nobody talks about the fact that the flu no longer exists lol.
.... We produce things?
Always cited without any evidence.
Gov't work has become such a joke. It's almost impossible to get in as a white male, and the jobs are outperforming the private sector by a large margin.
I believe you, just saying my 2 cents, and I'm entirely going off of memory from law school, since I don't think I've dealt with privacy since. I'm also only familiar with AB, not ON, although my understanding is there's few provincial differences.
Lawyer here. So you're on the right track, but the HIPA (equiv. to your leg, but in alberta) regulates goverment and collection of health data. It's not really relevant. You want to rely on the PIPA, or whatever nonsense equivalent legislation you have back east, as it governs what private info a business can collect on you. This is just off the top of my head, I don't do privacy work because it's fucking awful.
Lets be reasonable here. The vast majority of homosexuals are not pedophiles, but pedophilia is clearly far higher than the baseline than for the general population.
A simple google search provides that "1/9 girls and 1/53 boys" experience sexual abuse. Given that sexual abuse from women is extraordinarily rare, if we exclude that effect, it suggests that the rate of pedophilia is 6x higher in women than in males. Therefore if 1/6th of the male population was homosexual, it would be at par. Yet the stats show that about 3% of the population in Canada id's as gay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation#Canada
So 1/6 = 16.67%, or roughly 5.5x greater than 3%, suggesting that homosexual men, per capita, are 5.5x more likely to rape than heterosexual. Notwithstanding that, the vast vast majority of gay men aren't pedos.
Here's the rare metacanada nuanced position you never see.
This is what happens when you let women vote.
I'd tell them to get fucked and to throw out the pizza you just wasted, and I'll go down the road.
.... Just for some context here... This is WITH inflation.... I was hoping that it only declined on a real gdp basis, but no, it includes inflation.
