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.

There is little protection because the process is flawed.  It’s not too hard to see.

(Explanation – it’s short!)   The Oakes Test to over-ride Charter Rights. How Prosecutors get around it.  The obvious remedy is presented, too.  Based on experience from my trial.

 

2.    Here is a warning for Canadians, if ever there was one.  See ERNST VS ENCANA.   Jessica Ernst’s water supply was destroyed by “fracking”.

How has the Government set it up and how must (?) the courts respond?

Excerpt:

(Alberta ERCB = Energy Resources Conservation Board)

the court found that the Alberta government had granted complete immunity to the ERCB for all legal claims, including for breaches of constitutional rights.

Maybe the better question:  how do citizens respond?   Where is the tipping point?   . . . check out

 

3.    The East  (a movie)
