CRIMINAL LAW IS NOT THE PANACEA FOR ALL OF OUR SOCIAL ILLS – It seems imprudent to develop a new criminal offence of “coercive control” when we can’t define what that means. “The submission points out several concerns about the bill, with the first being that there is no uniform definition of coercive control. If you look at the academic literature, there’s one review study that has found 22 different definitions. It’s not like everybody is crystal clear on what we mean by coercive control,” says Mosher.

IS THE DECISION TO DEPORT MR. SIDHU A REFLECTION OF OUR VALUES AS A SOCIETY? “Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was handed an eight-year sentence in 2019 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm in the Saskatchewan crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others. He was new to truck driving and had been on the job less than a month before the tragedy. In a federal court ruling released on Thursday, a judge denied Sidhu’s request to set aside a March 2022 Canada Border Services Agency decision calling for his deportation. Sidhu is a permanent resident, and under federal law, can be subject to deportation in the instance of a serious criminal offence. He was granted parole earlier this year.” (Josh Lynn CTV)

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.
