These three are connected.  I don’t need to explain how: 1.    I hope that people, including Law students, will challenge the idea that the Government, in over-riding a Charter Right, has to meet strict standards that protect the Charter Rights.

I recommend The East.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1869716/  Find it in a theatre or on-line. It is timely, provocative, and well-done. Excerpt (lower down on the website): The film follows Jane Owen (Marling), an undercover security agent, as she leaves behind her doting boyfriend (Jason Ritter) to infiltrate an eco-terrorist group known as The East, who have publicly […]

The legislation that made this possible was fought unsuccessfully;  now we have the […]

The application for leave-to-appeal to the Supreme Court was “dismissed” which means that I lost the legal battle.   WHAT IS THE CHARTER RIGHT TO PRIVACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION  WHICH WAS THE DEFENCE IN MY TRAIL?  WHAT WAS LOST? “In fostering the underlying values of dignity, integrity and autonomy, it is fitting that s. 8 of the Charter […]
