Working in Edmonton on equity related issues and with marginalized folks can be bleak. But, for me, people like @MarkCherrington and seeing all the amazing work they do is nothing short of inspiring and fuels my optimism that a better future is possible (just need more Marks)

“An angel who walks among us.” That’s how @MarkCherrington has been described and it’s why I was honoured to present him with a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee medal. Mark’s life work is to help youth struggling with the child welfare & youth Justice systems. And he’s saved lives.

A year ago, on 48 hours notice, Primerica hired lawyers from one of Canada's biggest firms to obtain an emergency injunction against a leading consumer rights advocate who uses social media to expose MLMs. Without a lawyer, chance to contest Primerica's evidence, one was granted

National Post opinion writer telling us that the race riots targeting Muslims and brown and black folks in the UK won’t happen here because we don’t have "critical mass of human scum" — sounds like an admission that NP failed in its editorial objective!!

I would never say “it couldn’t happen here” about the racial violence in England. But I’m VERY confident it won’t. We just don’t have quite that critical mass of human scum.

In any event, we scored our first victory against Primerica yesterday, with Justice Lema of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta dismissing Primerica's attempt to hold the consumer advocate in contempt for a breach of the injunction

But, a year on, no hearing date has been set despite hiring a lawyer, rounds of examinations, and numerous interim court appearances. It's so telling that our systems will bend to large actors whim, even ignoring procedural fairness, but not when individuals aim to correct wrongs

It was granted on a without prejudice, interim basis, with the Court encouraging the consumer advocate to find a lawyer, and bring it back for a full hearing after testing the evidence and making full arguments

I am not sure these two statements are at odds. One recognizes that breach of treaty rights is a constitutional claim made under section 35 of Constitution Act, 1982, while the other states that prior to enactment of section 35 in 1982, remedies for breaches existed at common law

Perhaps obscured by the tortuous reasons here is a question of legal taxonomy. Jamal J. states: "treaty claims are not actions in the nature of tort or contract" and are "constitutional" [210]. But in Jim Shot Both Sides, earlier this year, O'Bonsawin J. suggests the opposite...

The passages suggest that the entrenchment of treaty rights in the constitution in 1982 established public law remedies, causes of action for breaches of those rights — but prior, the law recognized other private law remedies for the same breaches. No real contradiction

Evident from Republican messaging that the aim is to paint Harris as (1) a political opportunist, altering positions and identities even for support, and (2) Trump campaign worried about losing African American support. Message sucks - in substance and form - but it has an aim
