Guess who's going to Cambridge this fall! I’m very fortunate to have the support of a Chevening Scholarship as I yet again try to get a little bit smarter.

“all of this sends a strong and sinister message to Albertans that it is permissible, even acceptable, to discriminate on the basis of gender identity. To members of the trans community, the message is they are less than equal members of our society.” edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

R. v. R.M., 2023 BCCA 455: New trial ordered because trial judge improperly relied on judicial notice to generalize about how "adult predators" act, and then compared that to the accused's alleged conduct.

@SewrattanLaw the pointed consideration of the merits strikes again: the applicant in the leave application granted today was denied bail pending the application two months ago because of a low reviewability interest — #par22" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">canlii.ca/t/jv246#par22

Very glad someone wrote this article. The public confidence criterion is applied very oddly post-Oland. It’s a bit of an outrage every time bail is denied (especially when it’s due to the “more pointed consideration” of the merits) and the appeal is ultimately allowed.

Quite the winding road from @pivotlegal to this.

Zinger buried in new @Dave_Eby bail directive: "Previous advice, advising Crown Counsel not to seek detention unless a fit sentence upon conviction would include incarceration, has been removed from the policy" TRANSLATION: lockup people even if they won't get jail if convicted

I echo that sentiment today, and even more passionately: please pass Bill C-5 and please pass it fast. 3/3

@chrisrudnicki_ That’s true, but my point is really that the factor disappears entirely. In reality, this ground isn’t going to matter at all because sentencing judges are just going to say “I’m not sure the Crown’s range is high enough” and that will be the end of it.
