Go @elysianocida !!!

@stephlec79 Psychologists work with vulnerable people — just like many criminal lawyers do — and our clients need to be protected.

@RivaLaw As a doctoral level Psychologist in ON I am appalled M. I watched the council meeting and most members expressed concerns, however they moved the motion forward under duress - essentially they were told that if they didn't a provincial supervisor would.

As a criminal lawyer, I rely on psychologists for expert reports in court. Now Ontario may let psychologists register without a PhD, oral exam, or Ontario ethics test. Quiet deregulation is happening. Access should not come at the cost of competency or client protection. #CPBAO

Not all crimes come with caution tape... Here are 4 things you might not expect are criminal offences👮‍♀️⚖️

Did prosecutors in Ontario fail to do their public duty in the trial of man acquitted yesterday of murdering a police officer? On the National tonight, I'll talk to two defence lawyers about whether the trial should even have gone ahead and what the case says about access to bail
