What do we make of this? The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled against accused people in 34 sexual-assault cases in a row. – “The losing streak for accused people has some criminal-defence lawyers questioning whether the Supreme Court is committed to balance, fairness and the presumption of innocence in sexual-assault cases. Some feminist observers, on the other hand, view the rulings as a course correction for a system still permeated by myths and stereotypes.”

PAROLE INELIGIBILITY REDUCTION DOES NOT EQUAL A SENTENCE REDUCTION – A life sentence is for life. “The fact that a person is eligible for parole doesn’t mean they’re getting parole. A person released on parole would continue serving a sentence, being under strict supervision with the possibility of returning to prison until they die.” “The American system of justice is a horror. I know that Mr. Harper and Mr. Poilievre would like to bring that in. But God help us. Ours is so much more merciful and so much more decent.”

This is why we are passionate about what we do. Celebrate and enjoy our Canadian freedom today!
  • The myriad of rules and the maze of complex administrative procedures involved in processing every criminal charge, which is distinct for each judicial district, involves an incredible waste of time and is difficult to manage for seasoned, knowledgeable lawyers, let alone nearly impossible for those who may choose or need to navigate the system themselves without a lawyer.
