Judicial decisions appear to be getting slower, longer, and more complex. What courts and judges should do to solve this problem is far from clear, like should we give judges more writing time. Some of my thoughts now published in the @DalhousieLJ. digitalcommons.schulichlaw.dal.ca/dlj/vol45/iss2…

@RobCurrieMusic They tried to plead him out for third degree murder (10+ years), but the deal required federal sign-off and Bill Barr wouldn’t do so because, reportedly, he was worried about backlash from protesters for being too lenient: nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/…

@legalwritingpro One can allege that a legal theory applies. But here: “Purported” > “supposed” >>> “alleged”. But never “allegedly”. That’s incoherent.

Here's a good one: Can a legal theory be "alleged" or should we limit "alleged"/"allegedly" to facts?

Hong Kong now closing gyms, bars, beauty parlours because they appear to be driving resurgence. It would be so cool to learn from others rather than feel compelled to make these mistakes for ourselves. h/t @tojonathan bbc.com/news/world-asi…

A year ago I came within 30 minutes of losing my life to violence. Today I open my pro-cyclist, anti-violence, anti-racism/police violence & sexual assault focused personal injury law practice. I will continue to offer accessible, compassionate & personal legal representation.

@StephenMarche @davidfrum @TheAtlantic The fact that you don’t acknowledge—in either the original or updated version—that 38.5% of the number includes only partially kept promises, is a self-serving dodge in what is otherwise a thoughtful piece.

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic Absolutely not a correction. The line in the article up now, reads "An independent assessment by two dozen Canadian academics found that Trudeau has kept 92 percent of his campaign promises, fully or partially, the most by any Canadian government in 35 years." You're lying.

I need to create a dooring simulation so that politicians understand the danger they place their cycling constituents in. Something that captures the experience of being sandwiched between the doorzone and a giant truck that occasionally grazes you.

Very proud of my friend Dave @TheBikingLawyer for his tireless advocacy in the civil justice system to expand redress available to injured cyclists in this City. His website is full of useful legal information for cyclists: thebikinglawyer.ca/blog-1 #bikeTO #VisionZero

I am really proud of my clients for standing up & sharing their stories of vehicular assault and road rage. They inspire me. Tune in to @CBCNews tonight at 6:30 for coverage of their harrowing stories! cbc.ca/news/canada/to… Story credit and thanks to @CBCPLS
