Blacklock’s-  Bans On Protestors Unlawful

The anti-mandate demonstrations were “plain vanilla outdoor protests” that posed no threat, said Justice Lauwers. “There is no claim they were not peaceful or were disruptive or violent,” he wrote.

Nor was there evidence protests posed any health risk, said the Court. “How much, practically speaking, did the ban on peaceful assembly mitigate the risk of Covid-19 spread?” asked Justice Lauwers. “There is no evidence as to the increase in risk that would have been posed by an exemption for outdoor peaceful assembly.”

Pre-order at Sutherland House;

A shocking, darkly hilarious exploration of how Canada, a country once admired for its stability and moderation, became a global cautionary tale.

Drawing from real headlines, deep research, and extensive interviews, acclaimed journalist Tristin Hopper uncovers the bizarre missteps and policy experiments that have helped Canada set new global standards for disfunction. The examples are legion: the real estate bubble that never bursts, Orwellian internet regulations, harm reduction policies that escalate harm, official health guidelines that recommended the use of glory holes in a pandemic, and a runaway euthanasia system that inspired the Wall Street Journal to declare, “Welcome to Canada, the Doctor Will Kill You Now.”

“The Supreme Court ruled on Monday night that the Trump administration could continue to deport Venezuelan migrants based on a wartime powers act for now, overturning a lower court that had put a temporary stop to the deportations. The decision marks a victory for the Trump administration, although the ruling is narrow and focused on the proper venue for the cases, rather than on the administration’s use of a centuries-old law to justify its decision to send planeloads of Venezuelans to El Salvador with little to no due process. The justices did not address the question of whether the Trump administration improperly categorized the Venezuelans as deportable under the Alien Enemies Act, finding the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, D.C. The justices determined that the migrants should have raised challenges in Texas, where they were being held.”
