Is there anything more retrograde than reporting on “perceptions” of crime rather than the actual reduction in crime being experienced by the citizens of Toronto? Our media should be reality based rather that hyping crime for clicks.

Using criminal justice for political gain taints a noble system that should be based on core principles, consistent with evidence. Parliaments + govts should be held accountable for passing laws that violate our Charter rights: See SCC Canada v. Power https://t.co/uDcVhGMBoq

New From Me: Ontario’s cash bail law will be found unconstitutional: but that won’t mean that Doug Ford and Doug Downey's plan failed. It will mean it worked exactly as intended:

The CLA and CCLA welcome the injunction to the mandatory cash bail provisions ordered today by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Until a final judgment is rendered in this case, the cash bail provisions will not be in effect.

Our organizations argued that the province does not have the power under the Constitution to remove judicial discretion to decide the terms of bail or to violate the s. 11(e) Charter right to reasonable bail.

The injunction can be read here.

@lawandchocolate Can’t borrow either. No bail bonds allowed.

@AnneDre27042271 @fordnation This decision was the Ontario Court of Appeal , not appointed by Ford. He has stacked the Ontario Court of Justice.

@TorontoStar Those homeless in the encampments will have lots of bail money, better collect it to build those new super jails instead of housing !!

This is disgusting, and Doug Ford does not get to shrug it off.

Spying on a woman who is one of your political opponents on her private vacation is creepy Trump-style politics that has no place here.

Women already face enough barriers in politics without this kind of behaviour.

Somebody signed off on that expense, and he knows exactly who. Heads need to roll.
