@law_esha I believe it is not fair because the compensation they may receive for pain and suffering can help people afford treatment to help with coping with what happened to them. For example it can help people hire a psychologist, buy an emotional support animal, etc.
@law_esha I don't think #CriminalCharges should be pressed because he didn't actually help her commit #suicide, he only witnessed it. In the future it should be the doctors responsibility to monitor the mental well being of these people denied medical assisted death to ensure their safety.
A bishop was sentenced to almost nine years in prison. He was convicted of three counts of sexual assault, administering a noxious substance, aggravated assault, theft, and fraud over $5,000. Is the length of the prison sentence suitable for the crimes?

The maker of opioid painkiller OxyContin is seeking a dismissal after being sued by Alaska for deceptive marketing practices. The company claims that there is an #OpioidCrisis but there is no legal basis for trying to pin that on the company. Do you agree?

FBI deputy Andrew McCabe is #accused of misleading and lying investigators under #oath. Lying to federal investigators can carry a five-year prison sentence. McCabe disputes that he intentionally misled anyone. Should there be #CriminalCharges pressed?

@realDonaldTrump will be pardoning Dinesh D'Souza who recieved 5 years probation for violating #FederalCampaignLaw. He admitted to illegally reimbursing "straw donors" who donated to a Senate campaign in NY. Should he be pardoned despite his confession?

2/2 PM @JustinTrudeau described that claim as an outrage, "That Canada could be considered a national security threat to the United States is inconceivable," Do you agree with the need for these tariffs?

1/2 Massive US #trade tariffs come into effect on Friday. World leaders reacted furiously and are retaliating by imposing tariffs of their own against US products. @realDonaldTrump said the reasoning behind these tariffs was that Canada was a national security threat to the US.
@law_esha I agree that the laws around impaired driving are not #strict enough but if you change the law around breathalyzers and condone random search and seizure then what is to stop people from calling random search and seizure into question in other situations?
@kveiner I think that the lack of #GunControl can be blamed for most school shootings because guns are getting into the hands of the wrong people. Having security in schools can help lessen the severity of shootings but to entirely stop school shootings we need #GunControlNow.
Alberta passed a bill #banning protests around #AbortionClinics. The Health Minister said that โNo woman should face bullying when accessing health care.โ Is this bill infringing on peoples right to free expression and right to #protest?

@nickBCSS_Law Yes, Canada has much better #GunControl than America. To obtain a licence in Canada, applicants must undergo a screening process, which includes a safety course, criminal history and background checks, personal references, and a mandatory waiting period.

@nickBCSS_Law The two men and the woman should have to pay for all damage caused by the fire because even though smoking is not illegal it was their #careless actions that caused the fire to begin with. Because there was no malicious intent I believe that no criminal charges should be filed.
@nickBCSS_Law I think that this is a clear case of stalking and #intimidation if she is being followed and photographed. There should be #ElectionLaws in place that prevent election ploys like this.
@victoriaglaw Laws need to be implemented to stop this #issue. For example, Vancouver is banning the use of plastic straws, foam cups, and containers in an attempt to nationally ban plastic waste by 2042. This is a great step towards improving #ClimateChange worldwide.

@nickBCSS_Law I believe that the airline overstepped. But I also believe that the flight attendants comments were not meant to be #discriminatory or #malicious. Southwest made a statement apologizing to the mother explaining that it wasn't their intention to make the family uncomfortable..
@BCSSLawDas I think that companies should consider all races and ethnicities when searching for employees but in order to be totally #unbiased they need to hire the person most qualified and best fit for the job not taking into consideration their race or ethnicity.
@nickBCSS_Law The school attempted to restrict his speech because it had "elements that were inconsistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church." this violates his #ConstitutionalRights. They were also discriminating against the students sexual orientation because he was openly gay.
@nickBCSS_Law Unfortunately these are very difficult situations and there is not much to be done. If neither party has tangible #proof then it will be up to a judge or jury to decide who's version of the story they believe most.
@stephanieglaw@MalgiLaw@saraheflinn There is a clear difference between #FreedomOfSpeech, and discriminatory speech. Law enforcement will have to be able to recognize the difference in future cases. I do believe in some cases it would be a #reasonable violation of rights to convict people harassing women.
A Belgian man was charged of making threats and #sexist remarks after he told a woman police officer that she would be better off doing a job โadapted to womenโ. Should more countries implement laws like this to protect against #GenderDiscrimination?
