Crushing dissent, says retired judge

Version 1.0.0

Frontier Centre for Public Policy: The Tamara Lich trial shows just how far Ottawa will go to crush dissent, especially in the West

Note, the author is a retired judge, who probably knows a thing or two about sentencing.

Also, I’m not sure if I posted this a few days ago:

Global- Ford government to appeal court ruling which deemed bike lane removal unconstitutional

In his ruling, Superior Court Justice Paul Schabas said the province’s move to take out bike lanes would be “inconsistent” with the constitutional protection of life, liberty and security. The ruling said an updated version of the law, passed in June and requiring bike lane reconfiguration instead of removal, would also breach the charter.

Because I no longer recognize the one I’m in: Montreal church fined $2,500 for hosting U.S. Christian singer without permit.

More:

Let me get this right Montréal:

1) You canceled our permit for a peaceful outdoor worship gather for no reason.
2) You threatened a CHURCH on private property to not have church.
3) You send a battalion of police to intimidate us.
4) Antifa throws 2 smoke bombs at my head inside the church – you do nothing!
5) Now you want fine the church for doing what the church does – WORSHIP.

Every Canadian should be embarrassed/concerned with this. No bigger scandal in Canada.

What could possibly go right?

Bumped for update.

Winnipeg Sun;

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew chose not to sign a new interprovincial trade agreement unveiled Tuesday by Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, citing the need for Indigenous consensus before moving forward with major infrastructure projects.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed during the Council of the Federation meeting in Huntsville, Ontario, commits the three provinces to collaborate on the construction of new pipelines, rail lines, and trade infrastructure. The goal is to expand market access for Canadian oil, gas, and critical minerals while reducing reliance on foreign trade partners.

Kinew’s absence from the agreement raises questions, especially given Manitoba’s geographic location as a natural link in any east–west corridor. However, in a public statement, the premier said Manitoba’s decision not to participate was intentional.

The time for end paying into equalization is now. Stop the talk and start the walk.

Brian Lilley;

A just released decision that I’m writing about in the Toronto Sun will make it nearly impossible to hand down adult sentences to young offenders.

Most of the judges ruling on this were appointed by Justin Trudeau, but two of those siding with the majority in the 7-2 ruling were appointed by Stephen Harper including Chief Justice Richard Wagner. The appointment of Wagner to the Supreme Court, later elevated to Chief Justice by Trudeau, may have been Harper’s worst appointment ever.[…]

The language passed by Parliament is pretty clear, if the Crown asks for an adult sentence, the legislation states that the court must be “satisfied” that the two part test to rebut the idea that young offenders have a lower moral culpability has been met. Now, thanks to Wagner and Justice Nicholas Kasirer, who wrote the majority decision, the judge doesn’t just need to be “satisfied” but the Crown must prove their case for an adult sentence “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Yes, you can get convictions on such a standard but saying you need this standard for an adult sentence will effectively make it impossible to meet.

This was a political decision by mostly, but not all, Trudeau court appointees.

And just in the nick of time.

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Just send the referendum to the printers already.

In mid-May, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would support “just doing one pipe,” but only if there was “consensus.”

When he was asked this week in Saskatoon about whether his vision for “nation-building projects” included an oil pipeline, he said that any such project would need to be filled with “decarbonized” barrels of oil — a term that seemed to confuse environmentalists and oil advocates alike.”

Armstrong Economics- How Alberta Can Actually Separate from Canada

This is perhaps one of the most fascinating reports I have ever written. This was inspired by my invitation to speak in Alberta concerning their movement to separate from Canada. A few propose being the 51st State, but the more practical move would be to become a sovereign state on their own, which I lay out in the proposal that would rock the entire world and propel Alberta to a leader among nations.

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Danielle Smith’s reaction here.

Update: @DimitrisSoudas

This was, without question, the worst day of the Carney government to date.

The Foreign Minister blamed the democratic State of Israel — not the terrorist group Hamas. The Justice Minister announced he’s working from home and will be taking meetings on Zoom, as though the justice system were a tech startup. The Heritage Minister — who has nothing to do with pipelines — publicly contradicted the Prime Minister on energy policy. What’s next? Will he put a Canadian flag on a barrel of oil and call it culture?

And then there’s the Housing Minister, who made it clear that making homes more affordable just isn’t a priority for him.
