I've been reading/listening to a number of tales of how people chose law school or chose an area of practice. At an articling interview I was asked "Why does an ex-cop was to work criminal defence? Are you concerned that it might be uncomfortable?" 1/11

the eps is running an ai facial recognition pilot that very likely violates albertan privacy law. they did not check in with alberta's privacy commissioner before doing it. she said they had to, the police say they don't. but it gets worse. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

MY COLUMN THIS WEEK: Calgary Sun calgarysun.com/opinion/column…

Great idea. Let’s start with public beatings though. Would simplify the process. Just say what you really want.

Edmonton Police Chief Driechel's & lawyer Hankewich's attack on the Crown condemned by KB Justice Fraser. In fact, it backfired: Fraser said he found the police commentary “reprehensible” & it was a mitigating factor in the sentencing decision. #Police ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…

A lot of lawyers are cautioned to be careful about making political comments. In Alberta, where you got absolute idiots running the province, you do what’s important and speak up. Join us to get Dipshit Dani’s attention. @CDLACalgary @AlbertaCTLA

"But Sylvestre followed up the claim by saying APP shouldn’t apologize for being a white movement." This is the leadership of the Alberta separatist movement. Bear this in mind when you look at the lineups to sign the petition. #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

A question I keep hearing from folks across Canada is pretty simple: “What the heck is going on in Alberta?” It’s a fair question, given all the headlines lately. Separatism is a real threat, and it’s time for Canada, politicians and citizens alike, to act. We need to show Albertans and all Canadians that we can make this great country work better for all of us. You can read my op-ed published online this week here: ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

Outrageous. #Abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

"If that is your intention, Alberta is not for you, you won’t fit in here." Spanky channels the 1970s American "If you don't love it, leave it" slogan. #abpoli

The impact of police cautions on statements in legal cases is profound. Read our latest article on R v Tessier for all the insights. wix.to/GYyHfCy #Law #PoliceCautions @JamesGacek @Tomharri @amarkhoday @NathanDerejko @robsonhall @DrMMurchison @RebeccaJaremko @UMLawDean

The Supreme Court of Canada discusses hearsay in its latest ruling. Can you trust out-of-court statements for the truth? Read our full breakdown here: wix.to/8VTTzgh #Hearsay @JamesGacek @Tomharri @amarkhoday @robsonhall @DrMMurchison @RebeccaJaremko @UMLawDean

Do you know what Truth Bias is? It's when people believe police by default because they are the police. I am about to find out if police are above the law. Newsletter coming out this week, are you on my list?

a confirmed measles exposure at the children's hospital is the worst possible place for that to happen.

"Amery said no one in ... the public service was involved in the decision, (Elizabeth Wheaton)." Hogwash. As Amery said, she is an Acting Deputy Minister. An ADM in his Ministry! Part of the civil/public service of which McFee is the head. #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonton-…

these fucking people man. two days after using the notwithstanding clause to strip rights away from trans people they put out this shit.

This week’s top three summaries: R v Bjil, 2025 SKCA 116: #technology, R v Lessard, 2025 ONCA 760: #NCRMD, R v Krelove, 2025 ONSC 6004: #domestic discharge #defencetoolkit #legal #criminallaw appeallawyer.ca/the-defence-to…

The whole bullshit effort to hide this behind religion fails. This is oppressive bullshit that needs to end.

This is a UCP MLA calling for a referendum on abortion inside of the legislature. They’re coming for abortion. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Like many proposed laws, this one may seem like it’s not a big deal. At least not until you look at the impact: sexism, racism, other actions that target people will have no monitoring or consequence.
