Today, disgraced Ottawa lawyer James Bowie is being sentenced for harassment and threats. He wanted to kill Leanne, who exposed him. Leanne, showed incredible courage by coming forward. Now it’s time to help her rebuild her life. Stand with her today: gofund.me/e6a2b8dc

Danielle Smith’s referendum on judges isn’t about democracy. It’s about power. And it’s part of a troubling trend in conservative politics: misrepresenting the facts and undermining public confidence in the justice system. My latest column: canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/d…

Why Poilievre’s false claims about my client reveal a much bigger problem with grievance politics. Lying about court decisions to fuel outrage isn’t “holding the system to account.” It’s poisoning it. canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/p…

@dytonAD I literally said, “The first example is one I know well because I was there. I represented a man….”

@mspratt Politics has always had its share of “ spin”. I would agree, much like Lawyers who leave out potentially key pieces of information that might have interest to the intended audience. For example, “ I represented a man” ( City of Ottawa lawyer on leave)

Were you in court? Did you read the decision? I was that man’s lawyer. He was sentenced to 5 months jail. It is ok to disagree with the sentence. It is ok to suggest policy or legislative responses to the decision. But it does us all a disservice when you lie.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre

A man defaces Canada’s Holocaust Monument with blood-red paint and faces no real jail time. Under the Liberals, antisemitism is tolerated, excused, and waved away for political convenience. When hatred against Jews is met with leniency instead of punishment, the message sent to everyone is crystal clear. A Conservative government will stand with Jewish Canadians and end this soft-on-crime, moral cowardice. Enough is enough.

@Skydog36764365 @randroid0579094 Time served on remand is notoriously hard time, 3 to a cell, 24 hour lock downs, no programs, no contact visits, all in filthy conditions. It is very very bad.

@mspratt @randroid0579094 Where did he serve his pre-trial jail time? How does that compare with where he would have served after conviction? Honest question.

@Bebejen1313 That is not how things work. He served 150 days in "real jail" part of this was when he was arrested and part was after his plea of guilt (so not awaiting trial). But yes, he didn't get any further time than the real jail he served.

@mspratt @bruce_arthur The article says it was a suspended sentence? Assuming so it’s not really jail for practical purposes and the public eye. I think you might be too far into the work here. PP might be overselling, but I think you’re also underselling here.

@mspratt You are really professional talking about a case you say you over seen as a lawyer. Writing a post on X about it is why you should have your license revoked

@pablo1111698241 No. First degree is a life sentence and 25 year parole in eligability. Second degree murder is a life sentence and 10 years parole ineligibility. These are the minimum sentence applied to ALL murder cases.

@mspratt 5 months is no "real" jail time. Poilievre is disagreeing with the sentence. So take your meds and chill out.
