Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.

Criminalizing more speech in Canada?

Chief @Aaronpete_ says no.

But 7-1 appointed senators say yes.

Canada's institutions are failing to respect fundamental freedoms--they need serious reform.

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

This is good to see: Canadians understand that human rights tribunals do a terrible job of respecting the human right to freedom of expression.

So if the federal government is not allowing the CHRC and CHRT to police speech, why do BC, AB, SK MB and QC all explicitly allow their human rights bureaucracies to police their citizen's speech? See https://t.co/4jHu6NIdm6

@Dave_Eby @ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe @WabKinew @CFrechette, time to respect Canadians' freedom of expression and change your human rights legislation!

#REPORT: The Carney Liberals say they are ABANDONING Trudeau-era efforts to reintroduce Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Code.

The section, which was repealed by Stephen Harper, allowed Canadians to submit human rights complaints over "hateful" online content.

The BC Supreme Court has just recognized the independence of the Bar as a constitutional principle.

I am glad to see that lawyer independence is the central focus, as shown by the following statements from the decision:

[106] It is axiomatic that in carrying out their advisory and advocacy roles in each of these areas, lawyers must be, and must be seen to be, independent from outside influences, including, in particular, the influence of the state.
...
[108] Thus, legislation or other measures said to undermine the independence of the Bar must be examined through the lens of the impact on lawyers’ ability to provide such impartial advice and zealous advocacy.

You don’t have to agree with Widdowson. Lots of people don’t. But arresting her on some trespassing charge for having a peaceful meeting is terrible behaviour for an institution. https://t.co/FUfn6V1Lx7

Enforcing a social media ban would mean mandating age verification for everyone, requiring tens of millions of Canadians to submit government ID to third-party providers. Those backing a ban don't discuss the privacy risks or data showing bans don't work.

Canadians should know whether their elected Members of Parliament can be prevented from carrying out their constitutional responsibilities for weeks or months at a time for a Prime Minister's petty and purely partisan purposes or not.

An FCA answer to this question will give us insight to the strength of Canada's representative democracy.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS

The Federal Court of Appeal has deemed the prorogation challenge moot, but will still allow the case to proceed on its merits.

Hands down the best MP speech on lawful access during the just concluded debate on Bill C-22. An MP who has taken the time to study the bill and place the spotlight on its dangers.

@JoshDehaas @uofg Maybe the its time to raise the question of whether the Charter should apply to public university campuses in Ontario again...

Woods win!

Apparently, our right to "Liberty" really does mean our ability to move freely, in a free country.

Nova Scotia's ban on people in the woods is bad, and probably worse than you think!

But thanks to @JCCFCanada, there is a team of lawyers willing to defend the freedoms of Canadians.
