🚨 Mark Carney is taking the Emergencies Act case to the Supreme Court! 🚨 We challenged Trudeau's illegal use of this law and won at two levels of court. We are confident we can win at the Supreme Court too. We are ready to fight against this government overreach and abuse

At the centre of a major Supreme Court challenge heard this week is whether firearms laws can be enforced fairly when Canadians cannot clearly determine which weapons are prohibited. CCF Senior Counsel Bronwyn Eyre examines the legal complexities surrounding the federal firearms ban in The Epoch Times.

[Christine Van Geyn @cvangeyn]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

This Remembrance Day, the CCF reflects on the sacrifices made in defence of freedom and the debt of gratitude we owe to those who served. We must never take our liberties for granted, nor forget our responsibility to protect them for generations to come.

[The News Forum @TheNewsForum_]

Is criticizing judges really the threat to public confidence, or is the legal establishment that pushes back on it? Christine Van Geyn and Colin May weigh in.

@CDNConstFound The CCF is being represented in this case by George Avraam of Baker McKenzie. You can live stream the hearing here: https://t.co/te74Y5rGTH

[Christine Van Geyn @cvangeyn]

Today the @CDNConstFound is in the Supreme Court of Canada in Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights v AG. This case is a challenge to the legality of a May 2020 federal order reclassifying certain firearms as prohibited. The CCF is intervening to propose a framework for determining when government policies and guidelines are law, regardless of how they are labelled

[Christine Van Geyn @cvangeyn]

Canadians deserve to know exactly what the law requires of them, especially when their property and freedom are on the line,” said Van Geyn. “When police refer to a list identifying prohibited firearms, people naturally take it seriously. It is unacceptable for the government to leave Canadians guessing about whether keeping their own property could expose them to criminal charges

A big thank you to everyone who came to Toronto to share ideas and discuss ways to improve Canada’s healthcare system and ensure patients get the care they need, when they need it.

See you at the next one!

Andre Picard of the @globeandmail is delivering the closing key note address to The Future of Healthcare Reform.

“I embrace Medicare but we need to debate what is covered and what is not.

Their is the role for public and private funding of healthcare in Canada.”

Great ending to an important day here in Toronto discussing how to reform a behemoth that accounts for 43% of Ontario’s annual budget and will top 100Billionnin fiscal 26/27 @PBethlenfalvy

Today at our Prescriptions for Healthcare Reform conference, Vienna Pedatella and her mother Janene shared their story.

Vienna waited more than two years for scoliosis surgery in Canada while her condition deteriorated. Her family eventually paid nearly $200,000 for surgery in the US after Alberta refused funding.

Today, Vienna has fully recovered and is studying to become a nurse.

The CCF is supporting her constitutional challenge because Canadians should not be forced to suffer while waiting for medically necessary care, or face financial ruin to access it elsewhere.

It was incredibly moving to hear Vienna tell her story in her own words today.

In England, if your wait is running long, you can ask to be moved.

According to the NHS, when a family doctor refers a patient for a physical or mental health condition, in most cases the patient has a legal right to choose the hospital or service. That includes many non-government hospitals that treat NHS patients, as long as it doesn’t cost the NHS more than a standard NHS hospital would.

Patients can also ask to switch providers if they’re likely to wait longer than the maximum waiting time for their treatment. The hospital or local health board then has to offer other options that can see them sooner.

Coverage stays universal, and the funding follows the patient to whoever can treat them in time. In most of Canada, patients have no equivalent right.
