Me if one of my daughters is ever kidnapped by a gang of superficially attractive legal arguments

I want to thank Canadians across the country for their words of support for the Zameer family these past few weeks.

Kudos to @AndreaG_law and @FredSchumann, who successfully acted for Animal Justice in a constitutional challenge to Ontario's "ag-gag" law! Several sections of the law were found to unconstitutionally infringe freedom of expression. Full decision: canlii.ca/t/k3thm #cdnlaw

The outcome of this case would be different in Canada. In 1949, Canada adopted the US bankruptcy discharge bar but omitted the exclusion for "wilful and malicious injury" and later put in a narrower exclusion for intentional assaults in s. 178(1)(a.1). theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

When the Evermore era started and they all came out in capes, I thought they were going to bring out a tiny Stonehenge. Taylor intones: "In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, lived an ancient race of people. The Druids."

Saw the Taylor Swift concert movie last night. Pretty good, but I for one missed the blast beats and growl vocals of her early material.

What phrases do you use to complete your mandate and protect the client from a false impression that you will do more? Which ones of these have you used? "I closed your file and will not take further steps." "I think this is all you wanted me to do but let me know if there is anything else." "I am not your lawyer anymore." "You were my favourite client. Thank you so much. I am sorry that I will not get to work on your file anymore."

@AndrewBernstei9 Going to court is like putting up your hand, forever.

Really interesting decision in Ontario - police cannot use a general warrant to seize cryptocurrency from an exchange account. Read my post about it here. linkedin.com/posts/fredrick… The decision is being reviewed by the Superior Court - that decision is under reserve. #cryptolaw

Today on the radio @mattgallowaycbc described Stop Making Sense as "the greatest documentary ever", which might be the most Generation X thing a person could possibly say

@AndrewBernstei9 Good question. In this case, probably because it's noisy and disrupts my important lawyer calls.

The stupid air show.

It's odd that the narrator of "Long Black Veil" had the willpower to sacrifice his own life to keep secret his affair with his best friend's wife, but did not have the willpower to refrain from sleeping with his best friend's wife in the first place.

Unless this is an indirect way of advocating for a tax on wealth instead of income...maybe??
