ABORTION: IN CANADA, A FETUS IS NOT A HUMAN BEING – For your thoughts and discussions on the topic of abortion, it’s good to know that section 223 of the Criminal Code of Canada is the defining law: “(1) A child becomes a human being within the meaning of this Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother whether or not (a) it has breathed, (b) it has an independent circulation or (c) the navel string is severed. (2) A person commits homicide when he causes injury to a child before or during its birth as a result of which the child dies after becoming a human being.”

THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA EQUATES “FULL ANSWER AND DEFENCE” WITH COMPLAINANT PRIVACY ISSUES. “”Parliament has legislated a formula for wrongful convictions. Indeed, it has all but guaranteed them.” “The screening regime “makes private records presumptively inadmissible when tendered by the defence, but presumptively admissible when tendered by the Crown,” as the latter is not subject to the regime.” “This decision significantly and permanently erodes fair trial rights for people charged with certain offences. And that goes against our bedrock values – or what used to be our bedrock values.”

  • THE TRUE NORTH STONG AND FREE: Canada Day is a good day to affirm that as criminal defence lawyers we do not just defend the innocent and the guilty but by doing so we protect the fundamental rights of freedom we all enjoy, from encroachment by the legislative branch of government who make the laws and by the executive branch whose police execute those laws in the way they interact with us in our daily lives. 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.
