Great article by @GPLLP articling student Nina Patti in the @OBAlawyers class action bulletin this month — “Ensuring ‘Justice is Not Blocker by Provincial Borders’: The Supreme Court’s Resounding Endorsement of National Class Actions in Sanis Health” oba.org/Sections/Class…

Some thoughts on @fordnation’s dangerous and reckless Bill 212 — ripping out bike lines and putting lives at risk because of ideology and the arbitrary whims of the Premier. As the Supreme Court said in Bedford:

Ford has had personal animus against downtown cyclists for years. Here he is describing cyclists on his morning commute as a “menace” in Ford Nation (2016). This new anti-bike lane law fulfills @fordnation’s longstanding disdain for cyclists. It will cost lives. Inexcusable.

Premier of Ontario openly admitting that his plan to force Toronto to rip up bike lanes on University Ave, putting lives in danger, is because it’s his personal commute. “And it’s just a real nightmare going up University. When we go to Queen’s Park, for example, it’s insanity.”
Doug Ford@fordnation

We’re bringing sanity back to bike lane decisions to get drivers moving again. The 1.2 per cent of people who commute by bike shouldn’t be clogging primary roads for the over 70 per cent of people who drive. It’s just common sense.

Congrats to Nader & team on this important win. The Court of Appeal’s decision in Mathur, especially its discussion of remedies, moves us a step closer to recognizing that dangerous climate policy may offend our Charter rights. I’m proud to represent @CAPE_ACME in this case.
Nader R Hasan@Nader_Hasan_law

Very proud to be counsel to these courageous youth advocates, along with my @stockwoodsllp colleagues @jay_saf and Spencer Bass, and the tremendous lawyers at @ecojustice_ca. The fight for a stable climate goes on but this is an important victory along the way!

Arwa Almsrawi, a Syrian trans woman, was given refugee status by Canada. She left Saudi en route to Toronto. During a layover in Istanbul, she was denied boarding, & Canada revoked her status, leaving her stranded & facing refoulement to Syria. Canada MUST intervene. @LandingsLaw
Toronto Star@TorontoStar

This Syrian trans woman has been stranded in an airport for seven months after Canada pulled her refugee status mid-journey. Her lawyer said she has never seen a situation like this, where a person’s refugee status was revoked while en route to Canada. trib.al/szjYpjv

This LinkedIn update has me sitting here stunned. Where does the time go?! Taking a moment to reflect on the opportunities @GPLLP has given me over the years, the clients I’ve been so privileged to represent, the friends I’ve made along the way. Onwards.

How do @LawMcGill alum feel about their former law school going rogue & engaging in scorched earth anti-union tactics described in this post? Consider making your views known to admin. Students and faculty deserve better. @AMPL_AMPD

Proud of colleagues @JodyNickBrown @ggeethaaa and their co-counsel @classactionscan for continuing the fight in this class action about unconscionable collect call fees charged to inmates in Ontario jails and their families.
Toronto Star@TorontoStar

Bell made more than $64 million in gross revenues from calls made by inmates at Ontario jails — at “exorbitant” rates, lawyers allege — and gave nearly $39 million of that to the province as commission, according to new disclosures from the telecom giant. trib.al/yWo9WlZ
