@JoshDehaas In such a case, it would be reasonable to open the door to a non responsive person to check for wellness. If, in doing so, the police found evidence of an offence or if they decided that the person needed medical help, it would be right to act accordingly.

@JoshDehaas I seem to remember hearing your discussion of this case on Not Reserving Judgement a while ago. At the time, I thought about police doing wellness checks, perhaps if they come across a car on the side of the road or if a family member calls about a missing person.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Canada released a decision with negative implications for property rights. The @CDNConstFound intervened to try to protect property rights. Our view lost out 5-4. Here's a summary of R v Singer & what it means for you. decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-cs…

"Meat prices are arguably the biggest challenge for shoppers—and they’ve been for a while. But the real surprise isn’t beef, it’s chicken. Prices are up 9.2% year-over-year, when historically increases rarely exceed 2–3%. What’s even more striking is that Canada is now importing millions of kilos of chicken from the U.S. Despite supply management, domestic production isn’t keeping pace with rising demand."

@TLNewmanMTL I really liked Wayne and Shuster.

What if Canada had a real comedy sketch show?

@rastokke @jeffkhamilton The right to public education, like any legal rights, is not absolute, and there is certainly no absolute right to attend a specific school. I agree that the boy should still receive public education (along with the sentence for sexual assault) but at a different school.

A girl gets sexually assaulted at a Winnipeg School. Instead of protecting her, school officials gaslighted her & her family, telling them if she felt uncomfortable being in gym class w/ the boy who assulted her, she could leave. Great reporting by @jeffkhamilton. winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…

Canadian parents are furious that a Calgary school banned food in the cafeteria to accommodate Islamic rituals. Juno News' own Melanie Bennet was the only journalist that bothered to reach out to parents and see how this actually impacts kids. READ: junonews.com/p/parents-rebu…

I had hoped that the findings by a Federal Court judge and three judges of the Federal Court of Appeal that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was unlawful and that Ottawa violated Charter rights would give Carney pause. That was foolish. He appealed. nationalpost.com/opinion/josh-d…

I had the pleasure of speaking with Elise Stolte at @CBCNews about parental mistrust in Alberta state schools. The key takeaway is that when schools are misaligned with parents, distrust is likely to grow. Read more below. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Worth reading: cbe.ab.ca/about-us/schoo… The report treats religion as an identity category alongside race and gender. The literature review section examines “Identity and intersectionality: Race, gender, religion, LGBTQ2IA+.” Ramadan and Islamophobia are repeatedly mentioned in the report’s discussions on discrimination and religious inclusion. Islam is presented as a protected identity within the board’s anti-racism framework. These sections focus on enabling Muslim students to practice their faith through accommodation and institutional support. Christianity, however, appears in a different context. Instead of being presented as a minority faith requiring accommodation, it is described as part of the institutional culture associated with systemic inequities. The report says the school board’s foundations include “whiteness,” which is perpetuated by “Europeanness and related Christian beliefs and practices that are evident in everyday dismissals of other cultures.” While the report treats religion as an identity category within equity policies, it does not describe accommodations for Christian students. No other religions are mentioned.

@JoshDehaas @CatherineKronas @CDNConstFound Have a good time in Halifax! ☔️🙂

I’m in Halifax this week where the @CDNConstFound is arguing that Nova Scotia’s extreme provincewide ban on being in the woods last summer was unreasonable and unconstitutional. Follow along here for updates from court 👇🏻
