@SainiLaw @FrankieWoodLaw My daughter just turned 13 (today - she’s a Halloween baby) and is out with a gaggle of friends soaking up all the joys of Halloween! Long may it last!!

My 12YO is borderline at the height where some may think he’s too old for Halloween. He LOVES Halloween and wears a costume and everything. It would break his heart if someone told him he was too big for Trick or Treating.

@tamimoscoe It’s been really upsetting to feel pushed out of spaces like this… thanks for sharing info about the new group.

Canadian Women's Lawyer Group on FB is no longer an inclusive space for Jewish members. Thanks to another colleague for starting a separate group where we don't feel constantly attacked.

It was a real honour to represent Asper Centre on this case. Great counsel, interesting & important issues, and a wonderful co-counsel - Neil Abraham. This is the type of work that confirms for me - I really am a law nerd!
Asper Centre@AsperCentre

The blog post includes comments by litigators Neil Abraham and @MegStephensLaw, on the implications of the decision for future Charter challenges. Thank you Vlad for this contribution and special thanks to Neil and Megan for acting as our pro-bono counsel in this intervention🙏

@junebugspitfire Ah thanks so much to both of you. I so appreciate it. I’d taken a cleanse from X for the past while - but happy to come back to something positive!

Editing a factum. Listening to Gordon Lightfoot like so many this week. Brings me right back to my family’s living room in the late 70s/early 80s. His songs, all Beatles tunes, and Free to be You & Me - soundtracks of my childhood. Thanks mom & dad (both too wise for Twitter)

@robinparker_law This is so upsetting. The process to lift or vary these pub bans really needs to be simplified (and crowns need to get input before getting these bans imposed).
